Beautiful Home in Tahoe Donner
Reviewed by Gran on 9/1/2010

The home was well suited to our family of adults. The living room, dining area and kitchen area lends itself well to a large group. Bunk beds in one room would be better suited to children but we made it work. My one disappointment was the cleanliness. The carpets were heavily stained throughout the house, a closet door was off its hinges, and garbage was left in the garage. I think whoever inspects the properties before renters come in should be more attentive to these issues. Also I have never been in a rental where so much food was left in the cabimets and refigerator.

Manager's Response:
Thank you for your review! The carpets receive high traffic during a peak season however regular carpet cleanings are scheduled. After your departure the carpets were cleaned and look very nice. The closet door was an oversight and we do thank you for bringing this to our attention. Dried goods may be left in the cupboards but expiration dates are checked regularly. Food left in the refrigerator is thrown away after each reservation, especially dairy products. Thank you for bringing these items to our attention. We will be sure to check the refrigerator. We are glad that you enjoyed the home. Pullen Rental Group,

Great living space and backyard view on busy street
Reviewed by Patti Malmuth on 8/19/2010

We enjoyed our stay at this 4 bedroom house in Tahoe Donner. The kitchen and great room living space was our favorite part of the house. The kitchen equipment and silverware were well stocked and the outside grill and patio were great for entertaining at our family reunion. This home is on a busy street and the street noise in the master bedroom can be very annoying, especially when trying to "sleep in" on vacation. The carpets need a good cleaning and two of the downstairs bedrooms need lamps for reading.

Very Spacious and Beautiful

This home is wonderful, very well equipped with kitchen items. Very spacious, it could use a carpet cleaning, but otherwise very well kept. Yes the sound does travel in the home, especially downstairs, but worth the stay.

Quiet please

The home was lovely and we had a fine time. Our only suggestion is to put glass in the open window (or fill the space in with drywall) between the master bedroom and the kitchen, having an open window affords no privacy and one can hear everything going on in the kitchen therefore waking up the guests, so it didn't make sense to us why there was this opening. Thanks for great time.

Manager's Response:
Thank you for your review. Since reading your review this owner is preparing to have a glass window installed in the custom designed opening above the master bedroom door which will make the room completely private. We appreciate your suggestion. Thanks again.

Tahoe trip 2009

The Tahoe Classic home was beautiful. The location was convenient, no slippery driveway. The layout of the house worked great for our extended family of nine. There were two problems we had with the place. First, the kitchen was horribly equipped. We had to scramble to make do to get a meal on the table. We do like to cook and so our needs may be unusual. The other problem was the heater. We could not figure out how to use it. We cooked most of the time. We would turn the thermostat to 68, but the heat kept running, sometimes to 85! So we had to keep turning it off and on. We asked a maintenance guy if there was a trick, but he didn't know. Better to be hot than cold though. I think it would be nice if there were more instructions on how things worked like the furnace and the fireplace. We did have a great time and would stay here again. I will just bring my own cooking utensils!

Manager's Response:
Thank you for your review. Since reading your review the owner is preparing to add several additional kitchen items. The kitchen should soon be well supplied with everything you might need to prepare meals. There is a binder in all of our vacation homes with house instructions. Included in the binder are instructions for the thermostats. We will be sure to clarify the operation of the thermostats for our future guests. Thank you for bringing these items to our attention. We will look forward to your next visit.

Gorgeous place, great for a big group
Reviewed by city dweller wanting to get out more often on 1/13/2010

We spent Thanksgiving in this house along with two other families. It is a gorgeous place. It is spacious and well laid out. Compared to other places we've stayed in Tahoe in the past 10 years or so, this is definitely one of the best. We had adults and kids and the place worked out really well for us. The kids played outside in the snow and built a snow man. The bath tub in the master bedroom was large enough to hold 4 kids to take a bath together. Everyone had a great time. We'll sure come back if we can get the group together again.

Good house, but lacking some things
Reviewed by Trappedmoose on 1/6/2010

Overall - great service.Easy rental procedure. The home was large and clean. Location was not great, as you can hear street/traffic noise from the master bedroom. Other issues: Heating system,house was either hot or cold.Lots of complaints. Master bedroom lacked privacy due to large opening in wall over bedroom door. Can hear all living room and kitchen noise. Nice big kitchen missing some basics (Large roasting pans, rolling pin, baking soda or powder) and very disorganized shelves making it hard to find what you need to cook. Some dishes and pans were found wet in the cupboards. Living room was nice and big but did not have adequate seating for more that 5 comfortably. We had 7 in our group and 4 visitors. An assortment of family board games would have been nice, we assumed they would have them there and didn't bring any. Nice big garage that can fit a large vehicle was a plus with all the snow. -Mary

Nice place.
Reviewed by Nice place. on 12/18/2009

The house was very nice and roomy. There was quite a bit of consruction going on in the neighborhood, which was a bit noisy. I didn't care for the open area over the door, which conected the master bedroom to the living room and kitchen. Not a good design. There should also be a screen door put on the master bedroom balcony door for air circulation. All in all a nice place.

Outstanding Tahoe Rental!!!
Reviewed by Renee L. on 12/7/2009

This was by far the best house we have stayed in. It was exactly like the pictures and what I loved the most was the clean, uncluttered look and feel. We had 4 little kids around and I didn't feel like they had to stay away from anything.(except we blocked off the stairs going down from the living area!)The master shower was by far the thing I looked forward to the most. Spacious ad gorgeous. The kitchen was a cooks dream. We had a large BBQ with at least 35 people and there was plenty of room. We played ganes every night on the huge dining room table and took early morning walks on the golf course path right across the street. Will definitely rent this again!
