ABOUT OUR HOME Our sunny, modern, and beautifully decorated four-bedroom Truckee vacation home is located in the popular Tahoe Donner community. Whatever the season, there’s tons to do outside, whether hiking, swimming, golfing, mountain biking, playing tennis and paddle-boarding in the summer or enjoying the world-class skiing nearby in the winter. For those days when you don’t feel like heading out, stay in and enjoy the hot tub, the gourmet kitchen, the sunny deck among the trees, or just curling up with a good book in front of the fire.
The house throughout has been tastefully decorated in an eclectic modern style, with attention to detail everywhere you look.
On the main level of the house, the open floor plan includes a great room with room for everyone to socialize, a fully-stocked kitchen for the chef in your group and a dining table that seats twelve for your family feasts. Also on this floor is the Master Suite which has a large and sunny bedroom with king-size bed, a walk-in closet and a luxurious stone and granite bathroom with a step-in shower, two vanities and a large jacuzzi tub. Two other bedrooms are on this floor, each with a king-size bed, and together they share a bathroom with twin vanities and a tub with shower.
Downstairs you'll find the two remaining sleeping areas. There's the fourth bedroom with two twin beds, one of which can convert to a queen-size bed on a trundle, and a bunk room with four twin beds. There are two more bathrooms, one with a luxurious deep tub as well as a step-in shower and the other with a large step-in shower. The large recreation room has a widescreen HD TV (with cable), a modern sectional sofa, a DVD player, a card table, as well as a selection of toys and games.
The beds in our home all have new, comfortable, high-quality mattresses and high thread-count linens. There are laundry facilities on both floors. All bedrooms and the rec room are carpeted, while the bathrooms all have heated floors - no cold feet here!
Outside, you will find a big sunny deck off the great room with a large gas grill, umbrella, and seating for twelve for an outdoor feast. Downstairs there is a wide patio with a six-person hot tub where you can enjoy a soak amongst the trees after a day out hiking or on the slopes. We have an ample two car garage and a flat driveway (an important feature when there is any snowfall) with space for two more cars.
This beautiful home sleeps up to 12 guests and is especially well-suited to three couples with up to six children. Our home is ideal for year-round getaways, whether you bring your skis or your hiking boots, with family and friends.

Great house for family
We loved the setup of the house for family with kids. Great location as it was close to the ski resort. Loved the downstairs for kids to play! Loved the hot tub was covered so we didn’t have to wear shoes. Also the backyard was great for the kids to play with the snow when not skiing.

Heavenly Truckee Lodging
This house was the best vacation rental for an extended family. 6 adults and three kids, 12, 11, and 11 stayed here plus we hosted my cousins family, 5 adults, 1 child (11) for several dinners. The kitchen was generously stocked with everything we needed including lots of spices and condiments. The three adult couples luxuriated ineach of our king bed bedrooms. The children loved the downstairs sleeping arrangements and the large family room. The house was spotless, large dining tables inside and on the patio allowed us to seat 15 all together for dinner! Communication with the host was excellent. Wonderful vacation rental. I highly recommend this home for your next vacation!

The Best Possible Experience!
Everything was perfect. The house was lovely and very open and light. It was furnished like a home, with much art on the walls, and it did feel at all like a rental property. Our host was readily available and immediately addressed any questions I had. The downstairs provided a lovely play area for the children, complete with all sorts of games and toys. We could not have hoped for anything more.

Amazing place!
Loved our stay here! The house is really well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and lots of fun toys, games, and books. Our kids especially loved the Wii!
Comfortable stay for 10 people (6 adults, 4 kids). A super nice benefit is the extra bedroom downstairs - there are 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms downstairs, in addition to the 3+2 upstairs.
Great communication, super easy and comfortable. Highly recommend. We would rent again!!

Beautiful home
We had an amazing vacation! The house was much bigger then we expected and very well stocked with towels and essentials. The hot tub was a perfect addition for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Location is close to Lake Tahoe, Donner Lake, Truckee River, and Reno. The only complaint is there is no air conditioning, which was uncomfortable during the day as we were there in mid July. Still would recommend despite the A/C.

Beautiful home in the best location!
We rented this property for our family of 6 and our friends who are a family of 4. There was plenty of space and it’s located in just a gorgeous spot among the trees. Just around the corner from Donnor Lake and 25 minutes from Tahoe City made this the perfect location. It rained the first couple days so we were at the property more than we planned and we were so glad we got to stay at this beautiful place. The books, games, hot tub, basement living area, and large dining table made the experience so much better. The kids bunk room and the multiple King beds are what put it over the top for us. My husband and I and our friends need king size beds to be comfortable and there was even 1 more extra for their pre-teen daughter. We had game nights and found having dinner at the cabin was more comfortable than even eating out. Dave, the host, was also a delight to work with. He was communicative, answered any questions we had, and was so helpful. We would whole-heartedly recommend this cabin and will be coming back here if we ever make it back to Tahoe. Thank you, Dave!

The Perfect Family Gathering Spot
We had such a lovely week at this house. The house is beautiful and just expertly stocked for families. Tons of books for every age level (adults included) puzzles, games, an electric piano, gear for playing outdoors, lots of storage space, two sets of washer/dryers, and a truly FULLY stocked kitchen. (We cooked Thanksgiving dinner for 12 and had everything we needed!) The house is a short drive to Ace Hardware, Safeway, coffee shops, etc in Truckee, and is in a great forest neighborhood. Owner was super fast to respond. A gem.

Awesome Home
This property was true to the description and the pictures. It was clean, spacious, wonderfully equipped, and peaceful. This was a retreat for our three families, especially since the parents resided upstairs and all the adult children had their space downstairs. We cooked several meals and found all the pots, pans, utensils and dishes that were needed. The dining table was large and spacious enough for everyone at the same time. The two sets of washer and dryer came in handy. The hot tub was hands down the cleanest and clearest one we have ever seen in any rental. Definitely would stay here again.

Beautiful family friendly home
What a lovely, roomy, family-friendly home. Very well appointed kitchen (2 toasters!), large dining room table with l think 12 chairs made for easy meal prep and dining for our party of 8. The kids enjoyed the “toy room” and the view from the deck was a nice plus. Awesome primary suite. Owners very responsive and property well-maintained. Only con was that we were there during hot weather (90’s) and the upstairs common areas were very warm in the afternoons. (We closed the blinds but did not lower the roman shades and maybe that would have made a difference. ). We had family staying in various other Tahoe/Donner rentals and everyone agreed ours was the best. Did not make it to the pool area but the members-only beach club (rental comes with passes for 8) was fabulous with a very nice shallow area for the little ones. 5 stars overall.

the property is beautiful and the photos do not do it justice. i loved the soaring ceilings and wall of windows in the great room. the dining table seated 12 and was perfect for our multigenerational family get together. the kitchen was amazingly well stocked.
but better than all this were the hosts. they were readily available and reached out to us to warn us of impending storms. they offered to lodge us ahead of, and ultimately DID lodge us after our reservation as we waited out the snowpocalypse that was December 2021.
would love to stay at this property again. it was hard dragging my daughter away from their amazing downstairs child-cave.
