About this property
Magical mountain home with movie theater, 9-person hot tub & full kitchen
Summary:
Gold Bear
The Space:
Particularly magical during the holiday season, this Truckee home is full of sunlight, comfortable furnishings, and modern appliances. Plus, the nine-person hot tub adds a spa-like experience to your mountain stay.
The living room is composed of a grand stone fireplace and vaulted ceilings, creating the perfect space for family movie nights and fireside coffee sips. As you step into the kitchen and dining room, you will quickly take notice of the marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and warm wood finishes. Two wine fridges ensure all your beverages are perfectly chilled. Prepare your favorite dishes while gazing out at the snowy landscape beyond, and when it's time to eat, gather around the formal dining table as a family.
Luxurious moments of peace will come with ease as you tuck under the plush quilts in each of the six bedrooms. Private TVs, ceiling fans, and ample storage space tie together the amenities in the bedrooms. As you continue to explore the home, you will discover a designated office space (including a desk and a printer), an in-home movie theater, and a laundry room boasting two sets of washers/dryers. Kid-friendly extras include a Pack 'n Play, high chair, baby safety gates, and a selection of games and books.
The perfect ending to another day in the mountains is spent in the bubbling warmth of the hot tub.

This was a solid choice for us. We come every summer for a week in the Tahoe area, and usually need a place with a lot of bedrooms. This fit us all nicely. The large hot tub and theater room were especially nice!

This house was the perfect fit for my family of 12. The location was quiet and set back off the main road yet within walking distance to Northstar Recreation Center. The house was very clean with plenty of rooms and bathrooms. We will definitely stay there again next year.

Very nice house
This cabin was perfect to spend time at snow. We like the jacuzzi and we like the movie room was very fun for the kids. My whole family had a amazing time and love shearing the space together.
Family of 12 stayed for a week to celebrate Christmas together. House is in very good condition and is very spacious. It was great having bedrooms for the grandkids upstairs and privacy for the grandparents downstairs. Very comfortable and convenient. Well stocked kitchen and supplies. We'll probably look to stay again next year ;0)

The Perfect Getaway
My wife and I rented this property for my wife's birthday and hosted 9 of our friends. This stay was perfect from the presentation to what the cabin had to offer. We enjoyed the games, the jacuzzi, and even the theater room. This place is perfect for those who are looking for a place that offers a variety of amenities. We all had so much to do and not once experienced a dull moment. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway! We will definitely be coming back!

We loved our stay at this beautiful home. The kitchen was incredible, the owners have provided everything anyone would need to make delicious meals and lots of room for cooks in the kitchen. The movie room downstairs was a huge plus for the kids in the evening when the parents wanted some quality relaxation time. The house was very clean, the beds were comfy and cozy! The spa was a lot of fun and the outdoor table was a plus for meals outside! The internet and televisions were awesome. This house deserves a 10 out of 10 in our books! Also, the Vacasa staff interactions were right on top of everything! We were very impressed. Thank you!
