NOTE: Our home was unavailable for rent from May'22 through Dec'24 as we were using it fulltime thus you will not find Reviews during that timeframe.

This is our 2nd home that we've decided to make available on a small scale - as such, you will find that Hansel Haven has everything you need for a relaxed and luxurious vacation. Welcome!

Enter through the airlock front door into our inviting great room. The common area has new hardwood, leather sofa and chairs that envelop you, a wood burning stove with a river rock surround (wood provided), and a beamed open ceiling. The kitchen is tiled floor and fully appointed with microwave, ceramic glass top stove, the world's quietest dishwasher and all the cooking utensils and small appliances you could ever need. There is breakfast bar seating for 3 and a massive dining room table with seating for 12.

The Master suite is on the main level with plush carpet. It has a wonderful Eastern King with a down comforter and supreme spreads. There is a private bath with dual sinks and shower, walk in closet, and a large private deck overlooking Prosser mountain. The deck has a gas BBQ and 4 bar style chairs to sit and have drinks while taking in the stunning view of Prosser mountain!

Also on the main level is the inside laundry room with washer and gas dryer. You will find a number of games and extra linens on the shelves within the laundry room.

Just off the common area you will find the 2nd full bath complete with tub/shower combination.

The stairs up take you to the oversized loft. Here you’ll find a game table, library, Roku, TV, and THEATER. The theater consists of a high-definition projector, a drop down 120" screen, and full surround sound. Bring your favorite Blu-ray movies and sit back and enjoy after a long day. You'll enjoy sitting on the massive leather sectional (our kids prefer to sleep here versus in beds!). There are 2 additional twin mattress behind the sectional sofa that can be used for addtional sleeping. The loft deck has a supreme view of the adjacent Tahoe National Forest with Prosser Hill in the distance.

The stairs down from the main level lead to two additional bedrooms. The “Bear room” has the queen bed, a large closet and access to the lower deck. The “Moose room” sleeps four with a double bed, twin bed, and a slide-out trundle under the double. A full bath with shower is adjacent to the lower bedrooms. The lower level can also be accessed through the 3-car garage.

The home is equipped with an elevator that can be used for a small fee. This must be arranged in advance. Please contact us if needed.

Hansel Haven is also perfectly located. We are on Hansel Ave very near the intersection of Landeau Lane. We back to the open forest with a slight downslope which gives us wonderful views and awesome winter sledding for the kids. Only a few steps to the Hansel trailhead that connects to the Tahoe Donner hiking trails. Hansel Haven is 1/4 mile from the Trout Creek Recreation Center and the Tahoe Donner Golf course. At the Rec Center, you will find 2 pools, 3 hot tubs, two workout rooms, a sauna and steam room. Adjacent to the Rec Center is the Golf course, driving range, and a wonderful nature trail.

Need more Recreation? Donner Lake is 3 miles away. Prosser, Stampede and Boca Lakes all have fishing and boating as well and are about 4 miles east. In addition to Tahoe Donner’s hiking and biking trails, the entire national forest is at your disposal (maps are in the kitchen). Horseback riding? The equestrian center is 2 miles away. Skiing? Tahoe Donner Downhill and X-country centers are about 2 miles. Depending on traffic you can reach North Star, Squaw, Alpine, Boreal, and Sugar Bowl in about 15-30 minutes.

Truckee boasts a score of diverse restaurants, many are award-winning. In addition, Truckee has many quaint shops where you can spend your time considering local art, fashions, and collectibles. A guide on the kitchen counter gives more specific ideas for activities in the area.

So make yourself at home. Hansel Haven is a great place to figure out what you want to do on your Tahoe/Truckee vacation.
