Location: Tahoe Donner, Lake Tahoe North Shore CA, Lake Tahoe California, California, USA (In Truckee - 45 minutes from Reno, 2 hours from Sacramento.) View Map
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-10)
Behind the street-side flat driveway and garage you'll enter the bright A-frame house from the western front deck (there is another deck off the back of the house which gets great morning light). The environmentally friendly pellet stove and central gas heat will warm you in the cold months, while the house stays cool naturally all summer long.
The loft covers over half the floor plan, allowing for good air flow and a feeling of spaciousness downstairs where the living room, dining room and kitchen are open to each other. For those who like to stay up late, or wake early, you can expand upstairs in the 2 twins and futon. The entrance-level bedrooms face south and comfortably accommodate 2 people in each, the queen master bedroom on the west, and 2 twins on the east.
You’ll feel connected to your friends and family in the warm and social atmosphere of the house’s layout. Whether you’re cooking, relaxing on the couch, watching a movie (many videos are available at the house), reading (many books are available to peruse during your stay), eating, or stretching after a long day out on the mountain, you’ll have the space to do it. If quiet privacy is what you’re after, simply hide away.
The house is easy to get to even in bad weather - it is on Northwoods BLVD, the main Tahoe Donner road, which gets plowed well, and since it is at the far end of the road’s loop, there is little traffic. Also, the driveway and front deck are plowed for you on heavy snow days, so you can get in and out of the property without hassle.
Well-stocked but not excessive, you’ll find what you need to be comfortable, relax, and enjoy your vacation no matter what the season. We are looking forward to working with you.
Ama Greenrose, Mgr.

Why the Owner Chose Tahoe Donner
I (Ama) found myself visiting Tahoe Donner year after year, renting different houses with groups of friends. When the idea struck, "why not invest in a property?," the answer to "where?" was quite obvious. So I looked for a house that would accommodate a group of friends or a family, that had 2 bathrooms, was easy to access even in bad weather, and felt comfortable to hang out in. I think my mom and I found just the right place!
The Unique Benefits at this House
I love taking advantage of the proximity to all of the ski areas - so we decide everyday where the best snow and weather are, and we go there. Then, we head to the jaccuzi on our way back home for dinner... or maybe we eat at one of the awesome restaurants around Truckee, Tahoe City or Kings Beach.
Spring, Summer and Fall visits allow for hiking, biking, more swimming, tennis, golf (I play mini, but there are several world class golf courses nearby), visiting the hot springs at Sierraville, exploring local history, boating and playing at the lakes (Donner and Tahoe).
There is always heading to State Line or South Lake for a bit more excitement, and so much more it would take too long to add it all in here.
About 4 blocks away from our home, you can walk to this local mountain. It's the best place to begin. Wide-open bowls, uncrowded slopes, great beginner terrain, excellent grooming and a friendly, cou
