Spectacular Panoramic Sunrise and Sunset Mountain Views; EV Charger; Hot Tub


Sweeping views of the High Sierra await you from our gorgeous mountain chalet, Tahoe Summit Chalet.

**New mattresses in all bedrooms Spring 2025.**

The discriminating traveler will appreciate the attention to detail and luxury appointments in this chalet: extensive knotty alder woodwork, 3 stone fireplaces, gourmet kitchen, 3 large decks, marble bathrooms with heated floors, private hot tub, and more. The rooms are exceptionally bright and sunny, and thanks to our mountain top location, you will enjoy magnificent sunrise and sunset views.

Located in Tahoe Donner, a residential community in Truckee, Tahoe Summit Chalet is within 5 minutes of superb Tahoe Donner amenities: cross-country ski center; downhill ski resort; 2 recreation centers with fitness center, swimming pools, hot tubs; sledding hill; golf course; driving range; playgrounds; hiking trails; mountain bike trails; equestrian center; tennis and pickleball center; fine and casual dining at The Lodge. The private beach, clubhouse, and boat launch on Donner Lake are just a few additional minutes drive. Access to private amenities (rec center, pools, marina, and tennis center) is restricted during the major holiday periods.

Near the world-class ski resorts of Palisades Tahoe, Northstar, Sugar Bowl, and Royal Gorge (cross-country), you can be on your skis in 20 – 30 minutes. Our chalet is 30 minutes from Lake Tahoe, 40 minutes from the Reno Airport, and 3 hours from the San Francisco Bay Area. Located well back on a quiet street, our chalet affords privacy and relaxation.

The open floor plan is ideal for special gatherings. Our gourmet kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and is well equipped for those who love to cook with professional cookware and two ovens.

The bedrooms feature lodge-style furnishings, high thread count sheets, and cozy duvets. Every bedroom has an amazing view. The luxurious main suite includes a fireplace and marble bathroom with separate tub and shower with spectacular, yet private, views. The attic lounge is a great hideout for kids with TV and sleeping space for three.

For a break from the great outdoors, we offer games, movies, and books. We welcome families with children and provide children’s games, puzzles, movies, books, and a portable crib.

4WD or AWD vehicles with snow tires are required in winter in case of icy or snowy conditions.

House is great, no complaints and much praise. Quiet neighborhood, fantastic views east and west. I haven't been to a public beach in years, but Donner was crowded, crowded. Finding a parking place was a competitive sport. We rented a pontoon boat and swam off that. The amenities at the local rec center were better than the beach, big pool, lots of things for the kids. Overall, great house, great weekend.

Great property!

The house was perfect for our two families to stay (both with 2 kiddos 5 and 2). The only thing to know is that the backyard access and hot tub are through one of the downstairs bedrooms. Also, there is an EPIC loft that the kiddos loved. I can't wait to come back when our 2 year old boys are a bit older and can climb the ladder to the loft without supervision!Garage fit 2 SUV's tightly but kept them warm and dry through some snow!Jennifer was very responsive for everything and we can't wait to stay again someday.

Good Stay, Nice Home, Great Views

This is our second stay at Jennifer's mountain home. Overall it was great. The kitchen is very well stocked, which we appreciated. The house was warm when we arrived, cleaned well, and had lots of extra bath towels and towels for the hot tub as well plenty of paper towels/dish soap/toilet paper etc.The King bed in the upstairs master and the queen bed in the downstairs master were both very worn and could use replacing. The hot tub was a little disappointing- while it worked, we were not able to make any adjustments as the instructions say you can. It is also good to note that the only access to the hot tub is through the downstairs master bedroom unless you walk around from the garage. A little inconvenient if you have kids that go to bed early sleeping in that room.

Christmas in a winter wonderland!

Our family of seven stayed here for Christmas, and it couldn't have been more comfortable or homey! Three family members couldn't make it this time, but there would have been plenty of room for them if they had. The layout of two floors plus a small attic room feels roomy and cozy at the same time. The house is at the top of the mountain, and the great room has incredible unobstructed views toward the sunrise on one side and the sunset on the other, with lots of windows and natural light. We could be working in the kitchen, watching a movie, and putting together a puzzle all at the same time without anyone feeling crowded or left out of the fun. We are a family of cooks and bakers, and next time I would bring my own favorite tools and pans, but there is more than enough of everything for the typical cook, including most appliances and two ovens.The owners were very quick to respond when we had questions before out arrival, and in dealing with a few minor issues once we were there. Our family has rented many houses in the area over the years to enjoy the snow and the views, and we all agreed this was the best one yet!

Great Family Vacation

Our family of 10 had a wonderful weeklong vacation at the Luxurious Mountain Chalet. The home was in a great location close to the Alder Creek clubhouse, the Tahoe Donner amenities, the Glacier Way hike (and many more!), and the new Raley's One. We enjoyed amazing views from both east and west, hanging out in the hot tub, walking the hills in the neighborhood, and watching the Olympics in the great room each night. It was a great fit for our family with plenty of sleeping and hanging out space. Great & responsive hosts. Would definitely return.

We enjoyed the well equipped kitchen, the hot tub, and of course the amazing views. If you’ve got beginner skiers Tahoe Donner Ski resort is perfect and just 5 min drive from here. The owner was great with communicating with us and answered any questions we had super fast. I highly recommend!

Very comfortable Tahoe Donner house

Our group of 10 (two families) enjoyed our stay here. The youngest, a 12 year old boy, LOVED the upstairs attic space! The space was very comfortable for all of us. The kitchen is well stocked and we loved having such a big dining table! We did not use the hot tub because the weather was quite warm. No air conditioning here in the mountains, but there were fans in the bedrooms that kept us cool. The views from the decks were also very nice!

Great getaway with great views

We had a great time at this beautiful house! Everything was clean and well cared for, the views were amazing, with multiple decks from which to enjoy them. The kids really enjoyed the bonus attic room, and the big, fairly flat open space in the back, which was perfect for snow play. (We were there in spring, at the end of a mild winter, so I imagine it might be somewhat different to visit when there's a ton of snow.) Overall, this was just a wonderful property for our group of three families to enjoy a spring break getaway. Thank you!

Great spot on top of the hill!

Gorgeous 360° views from the Carson Range to the Sierra crest. Very convenient to Tahoe Donner amenities and close to larger ski resorts. The owners were very supportive through two Truckee-wide power outages and a historic snowfall. It's a great house but definitely bring a 4wd vehicle with winter tires or snow chains if you are traveling in winter time!

Perfect place for several famillies

Pros: - Kitchen can handle 6 cooks without bumping into each other (we were there at Thanksgiving) also 2 ovens. - Lots of pots, pans, sharp knives, serving bowls, plates, cups and everything you need for 12 persons. - Lots of hot water and heat. - Heated bathroom floors - Plenty of bathrooms. - Working Hot tub - Attic for kids to play and sleep in (a real savior) - The upstairs master bedroom has a huge separated closet that kids can sleep in if you bring sleeping mats. There is a port a crib as well. - Downstairs master bedroom has great bunk beds and private bath. - Once the door is closed, both these spaces are very self contained and separate from the general hubbub. - Lots of beach towels for hot tub and beach -Great washer, dryer, dishwasher. - Better than expected. Photos don't do it justice. - Owner very responsive Cons- - This is not really a con, just something to be prepared for. After agreeing to the reservation and submitting my credit card, I was sent a second contract with the Tahoe Donner HOA protocols and regulations and a contract to sign with all the individual names and ages of the family. Not something you normally see. Just expect the extra step.

Great views - excellent quality house

The views make this property stand out amazing. Had dinner outdoors every night and watched many amazing sunsets from the 3 decks. We stayed in July with three families (12 people in total - each family was 2 adults, two kids) and it worked out perfectly for us all. The layout works well too - there are enough bathrooms for one for each family, and pleantly of room indoors and out so that it felt spacious even with three families. Kitchen was well equiped and bathrooms are modern and very clean. The access is steep, so if coming in winter, you'll definintely need a 4x4/ all wheel drive. Quality of the house was absolutely wonderful - great linens, towels and furnishings. A real gem of a house in Tahoe - better than the pictures. We'd definintely come back.

Best Views in Tahoe Donner

As a group we have been staying in Tahoe Donner for over 15 years. Jennifer’s cabin was one of the nicest we have stayed at. There was plenty of room to spread out, the kitchen had everything you could ask for if you want to cook, and it was nice to have room in the garage to park. The views from both the front and back decks were incredible, both at sunrise and sunset. Definitely will keep this one in mind when we return next year.

The Perfect Winter Getaway!

We stayed in this majestic home for new years week and we could not have found a better place. Views were spectacular, home was clean, spacious, comfortable... all around amazing. Although everything you need is within a 3 - 5 minute drive, it feels like you're on top of the world, away from it all... the hilltop location is premier and everyone we met around us were so friendly. Jennifer was terrific! She provided a wealth of information and exact instructions for everything. Also provided winter driving cautions and recommendations which were extremely helpful. We feel she really cares for her customers. We'll definitely be staying again!
