Spruce Haven at Tahoe Donner

Sent on 2024-01-08 by Meghan

This home was wonderful on all fronts! We loved the open floor plan, the beds were super comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub and a great hike through the back woods! Close proximity to Northstar Ski Resort. Great snow removal service so the drive way was clear when we headed out bright and early the morning after a snow fall. The booking / rental company was excellent to work with.

Great HOUSE

The house was beautiful, well kept, clean, in a good neighborhood, and had the cute winter feel that anyone wants while booking a house for a fun weekend in the snow. That all said, the experience that I had pre, post, and during the visit outside of the physical amenities on the house was not what I was expecting and really turned me off from wanting to stay here again. As an airbnb host myself, I'm the type of person who is extremely hands off with guests - I leave any detail in the booking details and then I accommodate when folks want to communicate more/less. I had received endless amounts of calls before our reservation which I completely understand wanting to confirm details and such. But when all details had been determined and I had respectfully asked not to be called/texted/emailed any more about the visit, the calls, texts, AND emails never stopped. In fact this group ignored my request and continued to message me as the booking coordinator for my group endlessly. There was no reason to have this amount of contact with a guest in my opinion and as an Airbnb hostess myself. When we arrived at the house, I expected everything to be perfect considering the amount of communication that I received and it was a bit disappointing to see that the driveway hadn't been salted in any regard with a MASSIVE sheet of ice on the driveway. With trying to drive cars up the driveway, the last thing anyone wants to do is get out chains when you didn't need them the whole ride up to Truckee. I think they could have done a better job prepping the driveway. Also the front patio deck wasn't blowed or shoveled at all so that space was unusable. The back pathway that leads to the hot tub was also only shoveled in the slightest bit where it made it hard for me and my group to access the hot tub. We also were traveling with dogs and while this property does charge a per night pet fee, for $30/pet/night, there was virtually zero place for our pets to relieve themselves. There's a massive back yard and yet, I fully understand that there was snowfall this winter but this team had several weeks to clear any bit of snow so that we could enjoy some of the outdoor space as well. If you anticipate using any outdoor space in the winter as the booking shows, just note that there's a high likeliness that this won't be possible. The listing also mentioned that the property was 15 mins from Northstar ski resort (or maybe 18mins exactly) and it's more like a 35min drive. One last thing is that we tried to extend our stay because it was easier then booking a whole different house with such a large group and as I called the booking agency and saw that the house was available for around $500/night online, I was told over the phone that it would be around $200-something per night for an extra night but they would have to look into the details. After they did that and called me back, they said that the total to add one single night would be just over $1,300. In sticker shock I responded in awe and said that wouldn't work for us and they proceeded to upsell me again to accommodate a late check out for $100 past the 10am time slot that they offer. At this point, this property just felt like a money pit which took away from this being a fun experience and from the overall ambiance of the house. If you're down to ball out and don't have any regard for the price, this is your house. If you want to be pestered non-stop about the house before, during your stay, and after you check out, then this is your house. Might just have been the sour taste left in my mouth hearing that we could only be accommodated for nearly triple the original nightly price but these are my honest feelings. I think this was my mistake in booking this unit and I'd go somewhere else next time to accommodate my group.

We are sorry to hear that this was your experience with us. We do our very best to manage snowfall in the Winter. Our team works extremely hard to shovel pathways to the front door and to the hot tub but can only do so when the snow is soft. We cannot do much about the ice when daily temperatures warm up and melt the snow and re-freeze overnight causing sheets of ice. We do not use Salt in Tahoe as it is terrible for the environment and eventually ends up in our beautiful lake. Guests can expect ice on the roads and paths this time of year. It is very common. We do not clear backyard space for guests and do not advertise doing so. We are surprised to hear that you had such a grievance with our contacting your prior to your stay. However, we are entrusted to protect and manage properties for homeowners and do like to have contact with guest prior to their stay. Specifically, guests bringing dogs need to confirm the age and breed of their dog with us before we can approve the reservation. Please understand that we do this in an effort to protect the asset and make sure the guest is a good fit for the house.

We loved our stay, however, for the amount of money that we paid, we wish the shower was not clogged in the master, the hand held shower in the master only had 1 setting that worked(it appeared to be missing the dial),the freezer was dirty and we do not believe all the jets worked on the hot tub. All of this aside we really enjoyed this home and had a wonderful time staying here.
