Lake Donner House
Great accommodations for family. Kitchen, dining area (large table), bedrooms, beds & bathrooms were great. Outside decks were wonderful places to sit and talk. Downsides are number of steps, very difficult parking & initial musty smell. May book again.

Nice place Lots of steps inside and outside!
Overall, very nice place. Listing says "steps required to access property" -- true, but a bit understated. There is one steep flight up from the street, then a less steep flight to to lower level of the house. Once inside another steep flight to the living area, then another steep flight to bedrooms 4 and 5.

Excellent property with steps
Our family of 6 had a very comfortable stay at this large home. At 81 years old, I found the 61 steps to the main level to be a doable task.

Get your steps workout here!!
I think we counted 90 steps from the street level to the third floor. Thank goodness we are all in pretty good shape. It also helps to have a couple of very strong men to help carry up coolers, suitcases, etc.. kitchen was very well stocked, plenty of bath towels.

Too many stairs
When we arrived at the house, we couldn't get in. The lockbox code they mailed to me was wrong. Everyone in our party tried it but to no avail. Finally, after an hour someone tried 0000 and it worked. In the house, the living room carpet was covered with lint, and outside Debree and the freezer had melted ice cream all over the bottom. The bed sheets were clean, but the decorative pillow covers had obviously been slept on and not washed previously. Outside, there was garbage all over the yard and the garbage can in the garage was overflowing. It did not say in the advertisement that there were several flights of stairs. We went in expecting just one flight and found 30 steps up to the house itself, then two flights to the main floor and another flight to two of the bedrooms. Since our party consisted of eight elderly people, five of whom are handicapped, this was extremely inconvenient, almost impossible. Overall, I was very disappointed.

The kitchen was great! Lots of silverware, pots, pans, etc. Clean and spacious kitchen. There are a LOT of stairs at this property, I would not want to check in for the first time in the dark.
