Home 1 Mi to Downhill Ski Resort: Bring Your Pets!

Offering endless fun all year long, this Truckee vacation rental is your gateway to the Sierra Nevada mountains. Spend winter days on the slopes at Northstar California Resort, or explore the water from Donner Lake Marina in the summer — both within 12 miles of your door. See it all with ease from Alder Creek Road, which grants traffic-free access to CA-89! At day’s end, return to the 3-bed, 2.5-bath cabin for a BBQ feast on the balcony, followed by a movie night beside the wood-burning stove.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We enjoyed our stay in this clean, comfortable home. The kitchen was more well-stocked than most places, and there were plenty of clean towels and linens. There is old, dingy carpet throughout and the sofas are dated, but it still felt clean and everything was comfortable. There was plenty of space, our kids had fun with the foosball table, and the beds were nice. The location is great if you are skiing at Tahoe Donner. We were grateful for the garage space since it snowed a lot while we were there. We would definitely stay here again!

Great time at the Bear House

We had a lovely time at the house. We enjoyed sledding and shoeing in the backyard and playing fooseball and pool indoors. We loved having our dog with us.

Christmas Holiday

We stayed at the “Bear” house while we were visiting my daughter and her family who live in Tahoe Donner for Christmas. It was a very convenient location for us since she lives around the corner! The stay was very nice and any questions requests we had were promptly addressed by the property manager.

Great stay

Overall it was a great stay in a terrific location. Great neighborhood. House is nicely stocked. Weather was unseasonably cold so we stayed in quite a bit. The games had many missing pieces making them difficult to play/enjoy.

Our cabin getaway

We totally enjoyed our stay at this cabin. There was a ping pong table (which we loved) plus a foosball table that we used quite a bit. The cabin was clean and spacious with lots of light. The cabin is located close to Truckee shopping, bike trails and Donner Lake. We would definitely come back again!

Cozy Mountain Neighborhood

This house is in a great location. It is true to its pictures. The property host was communicative both before, arrival and departure. We never had any issue but it was nice to know there was someone attending if we needed it. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Perfect short getaway

My family enjoyed our stay at this home. It was a cozy home with plenty of space for everyone. The kids enjoyed the foosball table and the other games provided. The structure of the home is beautiful inside, yet the living room furniture is a bit outdated. The rooms/beds were comfortable and the house stayed warm with the many space heaters provided in addition to the central heating. We enjoyed the fact that we didn't have to drive to the Snow Park to play in the snow when there was ample space in the back yard for the kids to play. Access through the garage was great and we ended up using this to exit out of the front of the house as well at different times as the front steps were icy. Our only complaint would be that the televisions were difficult to operate and worked sporadically. Otherwise everything was great and we would stay here again.

Comfy cabin with kids-friendly amenities

We had 2 families at the cabin (4 adults, 3 kids) and the cabin was the perfect size for us. We went in Feb so we had fresh snow on the 2 balconies and we could watch our kids play outside while we stayed inside. There’s a whole area in the back for snowshoeing (included!) and snow play as well. The common area had an open layout for hanging out and a big dining table for meals and games. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels for everyone. Bonus—your driveway and the main road gets plowed around 10-11am when it’s snowing. Highly recommend!!
