About this property
Woodsy Tahoe Cabin • Deck • Near Donner Lake + Skiing | Moraine
Moraine feels like the kind of Tahoe hideaway where mornings start on the deck beneath towering pines and evenings end around the wood-burning stove after a day on the lake or slopes. Set in Truckee’s Donner Lake neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends classic cabin warmth with easygoing mountain comfort, creating a relaxed base for year-round Sierra adventures.
Inside, the main living space is bright, open, and made for gathering. A cozy sectional sits near the TV and wood stove, while the dining table and fully equipped kitchen keep everyone connected over big breakfasts, après-ski dinners, or casual nights in. Warm wood accents, vaulted ceilings, and thoughtful cabin details give the home a lived-in, welcoming feel without sacrificing convenience.
The layout works well for families or groups, with three comfortable bedrooms, including a bunk room for flexible sleeping arrangements. In-home laundry and practical everyday amenities make longer stays simple, whether you’re coming for a weekend reset or settling in for a full Tahoe escape.
Outside, the spacious deck is a true extension of the home. Fire up the grill, gather around the picnic table under the umbrella, or stretch out on the loungers with the pine trees all around you. It’s an easy spot for sunny lunches, quiet coffee, and laid-back evenings in the fresh mountain air.
When you’re ready to explore, Donner Lake, downtown Truckee, and nearby ski resorts are all within easy reach. Spend summer days paddleboarding and swimming, winter mornings chasing fresh snow, and shoulder-season afternoons hiking, biking, or simply soaking up the slower rhythm of the mountains. Moraine keeps the best of North Lake Tahoe close while giving you a warm, woodsy place to come home to.

With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more.
