About this property

Lovely Mountain Home, Kid and Dog friendly

This is a beautiful mountain home in the High Sierras, nestled at approximately six-thousand feet. Our home is located within the Tahoe Donner Association. We offer unparalleled guest amenities year round. When looking for a vacation home, we knew this was the one from the moment we stepped inside the front door!

We have a comfortable, fully-equipped kitchen that is perfect for entertaining. The living room and dining area have twenty foot high vaulted ceilings, with views looking out upon stately pines. The living room is complemented by a wood burning stove (wood provided) and a large hearth, with a back drop of river rock climbing the wall. The living room is equipped with flat screen TV, wifi, a VCR, and a stereo with a cassette and CD player. New carpeting, new living room furniture and newly remodeled bathrooms.

Our home has three bedrooms; a master bedroom on the first floor, with a flat screen TV, wifi, opens onto the back deck and woods beyond with a queen-size bed. A second bedroom upstairs is light and airy, with a queen-size bed, cathedral ceiling and view of the pines, bluejays and squirrels.

Our third bedroom is great for extra guests or kids. It is furnished with two sets of bunk-beds (sleeps four), with a flat screen TV, wifi, and has cathedral ceilings. All rooms have generous closet space. In addition, there is a large "cubby hole" on your way to the second floor where kids love to play. There are full bathrooms on the first and second floors. In addition, the living room has a queen-size hide-a-bed that sleeps two.

The generous back deck includes a picnic table, and a gas grill during the summer and fall, and looks out onto a serene forest. The front deck circles the house, and is just made for basking in the sun, or sharing a bottle of wine and good conversation, while watching the sun go down. Also included with your guest amenity pass, is access to our private beach club and marina on beautiful Donner Lake. You will not be disappointed in this mountain vacation home!

Home like amenities
It was nice to stay at a VRBO that had things like spices, cooking supplies, and extra blankets. Not luxurious, but this place had what we needed and was clean for our family to stay here and enjoy Truckee.

Best of all worlds
All that Truckee and Tahoe has to offer is close, yet the location of the house is very serene so you can easily escape all the tourists if you want to, or easily join in the fun if you want to! Clubhouse privileges at Donner (particularly the pools) are a huge plus!

Summer time fun
The cabin is very nice. We had my husband, myself, 2 teens and 2 grandparents. Everyone was able to relax and enjoy the cabin. We ate outside on the lovely deck. Great location we were able to visit. Truckee river, Reno for gambling and Tahoe lake for a full day of fun there. There is a convenient Safeway close to stock up. The house has a stocked kitchen. The stove is verrry outdated and hard for me to use. Thanks again for a fun time.

Perfect cozy winter getaway
My family stayed here for a week and we were so happy with everything! The house is super cozy and comfortable. There was plenty of space for our family of 5 plus 2 dogs. Everything was clean and there were tons of extra blankets and towels. The kitchen was awesome and provided us with everything we needed to cook meals. The outdoor area was beautiful, lots of trees, very quiet and we went on a few peaceful nighttime walks down the street where we had views of the beautiful nights sky.

This property fit all our family's needs. Loved the wrap around decks. We enjoyed playing Cribbage and Scrabble. We were able to eat all our meals in, and the kitchen was well-supplied with spices and such. The property is close to many dog-friendly hikes. Overall, a great fall getaway!!

Good value minutes away from everything
The Donner neighborhood is nice and quiet but is minutes away from all the lake activities and mountain biking activities and hiking and eating opportunities you could possibly want! A great bonus is clubhouse privileges where you have access to pools and exercises classes. House is nice and big and airy with lots of windows. My favorite is the real wood burning stove!

Truckee Getaway
This cabin was the perfect stay for us and our friends. Photos don’t do it justice! Very cozy home with plenty of room for 6 people (could easily fit a few more people comfortably). Cathy was very responsive. We loved the wood burning fireplace and lots of wood was provided. About 20 minutes from Northstar and lots of areas to snowshoe. Located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great place to getaway to the snow!

Great cabin in the Truckee Donner area. All was as advertised. The little "cubby" area was great for child play. Access to the Truckee Donner pool and recreation spaces was fantastic. You also get a big discount on Coyote Moon and Tahoe Donner golf courses. The owner, Cathy, was very responsive to some questions we had when we first arrived. We will definitely stay here again.

Great Location
We had a wonderful family trip in Truckee that included our 10-month old grandson and 11-month old puppy. The house is in a great location that is close to Donner Lake and downtown. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals. The deck in the back stayed nice shaded since the weather was very warm during our stay. We found a nice spot at Donner Lake for paddle boarding. We also brought our bikes and rode the Legacy Trail one day. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to take advantage of the amenities through the Association. Communication with Cathy was easy.

Why they chose this property

This home is in a perfect location. Surrounded by pines, close to fine restaurants, close to the Truckee river for white water rafting. It also has it's own downhill skiing within the Homeowners area. Squaw Valley and Boreal are just a couple of miles away. Great for a quick trip to Tahoe or Reno.

What makes this property unique

Our family loves heading to the Recreation area in our Tahoe Donner community, just a couple of blocks from the house, whether it is summer or winter. Wonderful facilities include 3 hot tubs, huge family pool and a large lap pool, which is open year round. You can also get a massage or full workout all year round.
We also enjoy the woodsy trails that loop through our area. It is a nature lovers delight!
The quaint old town of Truckee is only a couple of miles away with lots of cute shops, galleries, wonderful cafes and restaurants.
