Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
My name is Margot, my husbands name is Mike and we have an 8 year old boxer named Duke. We are life-long residents of the Bay Area and have always been attracted to the outdoors and the fun of skiing. We began going to Tahoe as part of our getaways from the city life. We have four children as part of our second marriage, this perhaps was one of the main reasons to get to Tahoe - the kids! They love it. You can't beat a 2.5 hour drive up into the woods with a little break at in-out-burger.
Why the Owner Chose Tahoe Donner
Second marriages can be tough sometimes...this one was. As a result we tried to find a great place to take the kids and start a fresh new life, the kids had always wanted to go to Tahoe, and we had found skiing a great way to distract ourselves from the pressures of work and city life. In the summer it was a great way to spend it outdoors, enjoying hiking, swimming at the Lakes, dinners outdoors...on and on... We were with our youngest daughter when we purchased the house, at the time she was only 11 years old. When we came across this home that had been built for a local trucker woman that owned an antique shop downtown we fell in love with it. Since then there have been wonderful memories with all the kids, friends and family. BUT the kids have grown up and left. With all three kids away at school its time to allow somebody else to enjoy the home.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Where to start. Jazz at Moody's. Legend says that Paul McCartney played at the bistro, which serves a great burger and has good wines. Or dinner at Cottonwoods with a blanket overlooking downtown Truckee. The Lodge in Tahoe Donner! The choices are endless. Concerts, great shopping. If you are into Yoga, we love Bigram Yoga about 15 minutes away...
