Location: Tahoe Donner, Lake Tahoe North Shore CA, Lake Tahoe California, California, USA (Minutes from Squaw, Alpine, Northstar and Historic Truckee) View Map
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
Right in the center of it all!
Enjoy all that the Tahoe area has to offer. Ideally located 150 yards up a quiet street from the Trout Creek Recreation Center, Snowplay area, Sledding hill, The Lodge, Z-Market, hiking trails, the golf course and driving range.
This large, lodge-style house has an open floor plan, tons of storage, and all the extras that make spending time in the mountains with friends & family special. We’re set up for families (like ours) and have all the extra amenities you need to make a vacation with kids easier.
House features a large, level driveway (more important than you think in the Winter), large garage, hot tub on back deck + jetted tub in Master, 2 HDTVs, home theater, Wii, iPod dock, and Wi-Fi. Rental includes Guest Passes to access all Tahoe-Donner amenities and many child-friendly extras: high-chair, booster chair, Pack ‘n Play crib, changing table, SuperYard moveable 6 panel safety gate, loads of toys, games & kids DVD’s.
In the summer, you can walk out the door and onto the expansive network of hiking trails, the golf course, or visit the nearby Equestrian, Archery, or Tennis Centers. You can also enjoy the beach or rent a boat at the private Tahoe Donner Beach Club & Marina on Donner Lake
In the winter, you’re minutes from headline Tahoe ski resorts like Squaw, Northstar, Alpine & Sugar Bowl, but you’ve wisely avoided the cramped condos and bachelor parties next door that risk ruining your vacation.
And don’t overlook the on-site Tahoe Donner Ski Hill, a small gem for families where lessons start at 3 and everyone under 6 skis free. For a change of pace, Tahoe Donner also offers the largest cross country ski facility in the Tahoe area.
You’re perfectly located – Walk down to the legendary Tahoe Donner sledding hill & snowplay area. When the chills set in, you can enjoy the heated pool, sauna, or family hot tub at the adjacent Trout Creek Rec Center or just pop back to your own hot tub on the deck at Snowman Haus. Relaxed doesn’t even begin to describe stretching out on the new La-Z-Boy couch or recliners with a warm cup of cocoa in front of a roaring fire. This is what a family vacations should be all about.
Don’t forget to pay tribute to the house’s namesake and build a big snowman in the front yard before you leave!!
Our Philosophy
With a growing family, we rent houses for our vacations too and we’ve seen the good, the bad, and ugly of rental houses. We strive to provide you with everything you need to enjoy your holiday.
Believe it or not, there are folks who consider linens & towels to be “extras” and others who think it’s OK to stock their rental house with 20 yr-old hand-me-down Scooby Doo sheets (“Zoinks”). Not us! We do our best to care for our second home as we do our primary home.
New furniture & mattresses, 300 thread count linens, extra blankets, pillows, towels, beach towels, washer, dryer, iron, ironing board, and hair dryer, full stock of basic household supplies – TP, Trash Bags, Paper Towels. etc

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. The house was so warm and comfortable and we really appreciate the "extra touches" that made us feel s welcome such as the crocs and the "how to build a snowman" kit

Thanks for making everything so easy for us. All of the posted and written instructions. Everything was clean and easy to use and supplies were well stocked. The honor basket was a great idea. Love the stove too. This was a truly hassle-free vacation for us. The Crocs were a great idea. You have thought of everything
