About this property

2 family +; dog friendly retreat; HOT TUB; 4bed, 2 bath; well stocked kitchen.

FULLY REMODELED! Summer of 2022.

This beautiful home is great for multiple families or just one family looking to spread out!

Picture yourself on the large deck looking out onto the pine trees while you BBQ with your friends and family. Enjoy the great room with large picturesque windows while watching the snowfall gently on the pine trees. Try not to let the view distract you, as you 'work from home' on the large table with seating for 8+. There is plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy the mountains with four bedrooms and a loft/game room. Compete in a friendly game of foosball, 1980's PacMan or a real Casino slot machine competition while enjoying a board game, movie or play PS3 on the big screen tv.

The living space is bright and roomy, with towering ceilings and large windows that frame the trees. Planning a quiet night in? You'll have WIFI, a wood burning stove, complete with wood, a large hearth with seating around, a sofa which pulls out to a queen sized sleeper; a flat screen tv; which also includes cable, a DVD player, Netflix; and a selection of adult and kid games to keep you entertained.

The fully equipped and recently remodeled kitchen is the perfect place to cook for a crowd. In the mornings enjoy coffee or tea with a Cuisinart drip coffee with Kuerig machine. You can make a single serve or a full pot for your group. Feel right at home as you're preparing your meals with all the comforts of home, on brand new state of the art appliances, including pots and pans, most spices you may need and clean up will be a breeze with the large copper farm sink.

With four bedrooms, this Tahoe Donner home will accommodate 8-10 people comfortably. (Children under 13 do not count towards these numbers).

The downstairs master bedroom has a king sized adjustable tempurpedic bed along with a flatscreen tv that includes internet, Netflix and cable. The 2nd downstairs bedroom has a twin xl over queen bunk; bedroom #3 upstairs has a new king sized bed along with an internet only tv (featuring Netflix). Bedroom #4 upstairs has a queen sized sleep number bed plus a bunkbed along with an internet only tv & Netflix. Also the upstairs loft hosts a twin sized pullout sofa sleeper; along with Foosball, PacMan, a casino type slot machine and a flatscreen tv with internet and Netflix.
The downstairs bathroom, is a full bath which has been recently remodeled. The counters are beautiful granite with a copper sink. The shower has large glass doors and stunning tile walls and floors. The upstairs bathroom is a full bath with a tub and is large enough for the whole family; which is also recently remodeled with beautiful granite counters and a copper sink.

As part of your rental, you will have guest passes that will allow you access to Tahoe Donner facilities including pools, children's play center, tennis, snow play area, beach access at nearby Donner Lake, fitness center, and an extensive system of hiking trails.
When you're not enjoying the myriad of activities Tahoe Donner has to offer, you'll also have use of the private deck with patio chairs, a Weber Gas 4 Burner Grill, a patio table and a private hot tub. Weather permitting, you'll also have access to the comfortable fire pit, along with chairs to warm up on a beautiful evening to roast marshmallows and share stories from the days events. Seasonal games include; Ladderball, Corn Hole, Ring Toss, snowshoes, sleds and saucers.

Ski options abound within 15 miles such as Boreal, Sugar Bowl, Soda Springs, Northstar and Squaw Valley. In the warmer months, visit North Shore; including Tahoe City, Kings Beach, and Incline Village about 20 miles away and worth the drive if you have kids. Closer is the main hub of Truckee with modern cafes, shopping and rustic historical sites.

Additional home amenities include, a private washer and dryer, Snow Shoes, Sleds, Saucers, Paddle Boards and Kayaks. Visit Lake Tahoe and have fun at your finger tips when you stay at this Tahoe Donner Mountain Retreat.

Great cabin for two families

We skied Northstar within about a 20 minute drive, checked out the town of Truckee and the Donner Museum and even went to heavenly for a bit. We went sledding at a local park and had such a great time. Great location and the hot tub was a bonus for sure!

Best rental in Truckee

We’ve been renting in Truckee for 30 years as we take an annual ski trip with lifelong friends. The kitchen and bathrooms are completely remodeled; the 2 king size mattresses are excellent quality; the house is well stocked. This place feels like a home, not a rental.

Felt like home

Our family had a wonderful time here. It felt like a home and not a rental. Everything was well kept up and well stocked. The location was beautiful. We had some snow the first night and got to enjoy the snow toys the next morning. I really have nothing I would have changed. We will definitely be back!

Great Tahoe home

Our visit was seamless. Great communication with the property manager. The home was beyond stocked with every kitchen supply and spice you could imagine. The owners thought of everything. The beds were comfortable. The home layout was great for our 2 families. The location is 25 mins away from Northstar. The hot tub was spacious. We would love to return.

Fabulous and Cozy Stay

This home was perfect for a girls weekend for me and my daughter's four friends. They were able to play in the snow, go in the hot tub and get cozy by the wood-burning fireplace. There was also a ton of space to spread out and relax comfortably for all of us. The kitchen - and house, in general - were very well stocked and communication was seamless. Would love to stay here again!

Thanksgiving Gathering

We had a memorable Thanksgiving gathering including our children & grandchildren. The house was very comfortable for our group, and well equipped in all ways… the kitchen was especially great considering our group enjoys cooking… the outdoor space (snowy at the time of our visit) and jacuzzi were enjoyed by all. The cabin is cozy and tastefully decorated in a woodsy cabin motif - making it a very special mountain getaway. A great place to make special memories…

Lovely stay!

We greatly enjoyed staying in this property! There six of us, plus two dogs, but there was space for more. The kitchen is very well equipped, so we enjoyed cooking! It was great to be able to step right outside for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the woods, and to soak in the hot tub and relax by the fire later. The host was very communicative and the process of checking in and out was smooth. Would love to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Jill Edgar

Host profile image
Rick and I both grew up in the Roseville area and went to Roseville High School. Both of our daughters attended RHS as well. Ashley is our eldest and graduated from the University of West Alabama, as a student athlete, with a degree in Sociology with a minor in Psychology. She is now married to Kevin along with our 5 grandsons and works at Oracle. Our youngest, Katie, played softball on a scholarship as well, at Wilmington University in Delaware, while studying Behavioral Science until she had a career ending injury. She is married to Brandon, an at home mom to her bonus daughter Rylan, and their baby Lainey.

It's been a lifelong dream of ours to have a vacation home to share with family and friends in the Tahoe Donner Community. We've been renting in TD over the past several years while looking for the perfect vacation home. As a retired firefighter, parents of two beautiful daughters, five grandsons, two grand-daughters and 3 great grandchildren, we feel we have found the right combination and now have the time to spend in our retirement home as much or as little as we choose.

We chose the Tahoe Donner area as our retirement living, because of all of the amenities it brings. The downhill skiing, snowshoeing, cross-country and sledding it brings in the winter; along with the beautiful hiking trails, equestrian fun at the new facilities just a few miles from our home and of course the gym at the newly remodeled Cross Creek. Not to mention the two beautiful swimming pools all of the shopping and dining we've enjoyed just down the street in downtown Truckee.

We hope you, your family and friends enjoy our home as much as we do and know you will feel right at home!

Why they chose this property

Our cabin sits on one of the rarest flat lots in Tahoe Donner and a quiet street where you can relax and hear the birds sing, watch the visiting chipmunks and occasional deer; coyote and bear. You can walk right out off our back deck and walk on to the Tahoe Donner trail for miles and in the winter months you can snowshoe or cross-country ski for miles if you choose.

What makes this property unique

After looking at over 30 homes in the Tahoe Donner and surrounding areas, we selected this cabin for several reasons. It's large enough to host our entire family and extended family for holidays and celebrations. We love the large kitchen, and great room where we can all cook together and gather around the large fireplace. We were also drawn towards the quiet neighborhood/street, where we can take walks with our dogs, walking with our grandchildren; rarely seeing a car or another person sometimes for a week that we've been up here. The back deck extends the size of our home, where we can enjoy cookouts, happy hour, the hot tub and star gazing. The beautiful flat yard is something that was most definitely on our bucket list as we age, and this one is a bonus as it backs up to the Tahoe Donner hiking trail, which can take you through many trails around TD for miles. We can hike, snowshoe and cross country ski; again, right outside our back door.
