Bernese's Bungalow - Dog Friendly Home in Tahoe Donner Near Hiking and Golf
Year round fun awaits at Bernese's Bungalow! This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home is located in the lower half of Tahoe Donner, only 10 minutes from downtown Truckee and Donner Lake, and 20 minutes to beautiful north Lake Tahoe.
Enter the home through the front door and mud room into the main living space. The great room area offers two sitting areas: one centered on the gas fireplace and another around the flat-screen TV with a DVD player and streaming device. Other highlights include updated hardwood floors, a remodeled kitchen, a dining table that seats 6, and a breakfast bar that seats 4. A back door from the dining space leads to a large, sunny deck, equipped with a gas BBQ and outdoor furniture. Down the hall on the main floor, a shared bath with a bathtub and shower combo and a bedroom are offered. The bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed, desk and full size closet.
Upstairs, you'll find the main bedroom floor and an additional bathroom. On opposite sides of the floor, you'll find one king and one queen bedroom, both offering lots of windows and vaulted ceilings, for plenty of natural light. In the middle of the floor is the shared bath with a bathtub and shower combo, and a double sink vanity. Opposite the bathroom is a spacious bunk room with two twin bunks and plenty of space for kids to hang out. This floor is rounded out by a full sized washer and dryer in the laundry room. The garage fits one Subaru or similar size vehicle, and you can access the home with the keypad for easy access during storms.
In an effort to be more eco-friendly, we no longer supply hotel style amenities; 3 and 1 body wash/shampoo is provided. Please refer to the FAQ document for a detailed list of the supplies included in your stay.
We look forward to welcoming you to Bernese's Bungalow!

Excellent location. Really enjoyed the access to the rec center especially during a snow storm. Tahoe Mountain properties staff were very responsive and helpful.

We stayed at Berneses Bungalow and it was wonderful. The area is beautiful and very quiet. The property is nicely furnished and stocked with anything we could need. The management company was amazing when it came to communications.

Thank you for your feedback Jen! We really appreciate it!
This is a great family-friendly cabin close to Truckee. Our 3 generation family of 9 enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner there. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our dinner and to store our leftovers. There were plenty of games for all to play and a dusting of snow to enjoy outside. Our two grand-dogs were welcomed which made the trip that much more enjoyable. We hope to return.

Thank you for your kind review, we appreciate it and hope to host you again in the future!
The home and area are lovely, and the process was very organized. Having access to Tahoe Donner Recreation Center and Marina was really great and worth the daily fee. Thank you!
Place was very cute and had everything we needed. Property Management was incredibly responsive and helpful along the way as we had a few weather challenges that impacted are stay. I would highly recommend this place.
Beautiful home. Hot in July. One of the fans didn’t work and Jasmine and property manager brought over couple of fans as soon as possible on a holiday weekend. Thank you Tahoe Mountain Properties. Excellent service!

Thanks for staying with us Sanjeev, we hope to host you again soon!
Kitchen, common area was very inviting to hangout and play cards as well as a mat for the dog bowls. My dog absolutely loved to hang out on the deck with us, the only issue with the deck is there wasn’t a railing for my elderly mother to use to go up/down the stairs. Parking was a bit challenging if you have multiple cars, parking is not allowed on the street, we had to play musical cars a few times to get the car out of the garage.
This house suited our needs perfectly. If I had one suggestion it would be that additional clothes hanging space be installed. One bedroom had no closet, another bedroom’s closet was locked shut, the 3rd bedroom’s closet rod/shelf was laying on the floor. We could have utilized the coat closet by the front door but it’s very inconvenient. We all had clothes to hang as we were in Truckee for a wedding. Other than that, the place was great.

Thanks for your feedback, Candy! For future guests, we'll get the closet shelving fixed today and ask the Owner about hanging racks for the other rooms..
This property is up to date and recently renovated. It has all the accommodations you could ask for to prepare your own meals, bedding, and towels. The only thing I wish it had was TVs in the bedrooms. But that aside it has a lot of board games to play instead. We will be coming back.
Great place for a family. The kids loved the bunk beds and games. Location was fantastic, the house was very clean and well-appointed. Everything was great.
Beautiful home and very clean. Loved the view of the trees and sitting on the back deck with family. Made some great family memories. Kitchen was very nice to cook in. Wasn’t ready to leave at the end of our stay. Thank you, thank you for this amazing VRBO.
The house was perfect it had everything we needed and the view to the backyard was so relaxing. We had our two dogs and 2 toddlers with us and they had a blast In that backyard. Neighbors were really nice and it was very quiet and peaceful. Will definitely love to come back again.
We stayed over Thanksgiving, and enjoyed a little snow storm. Very well-equipped for 2 families with kids to have a nice Thanksgiving meal. Rite aid and Safeway very close, and close to slopes. Bring chains if it snows!
