Occupancy: 10
Located on Serene Lakes, with beach access just steps away, this wonderful, 3,200 square foot home is the ideal getaway for a large family or travel group no matter the season! The open main-level floorplan boasts soaring ceilings, walls of windows, and incredible lake and mountain views, as well as a full kitchen with a breakfast bar, a dining table for six, and an inviting living area with a gas fireplace. Above this, there's a furnished loft with a foosball table, while on the lower level, you'll find a cozy TV room with an additional gas fireplace and a full, neon-lit bar—perfect for entertaining! And when it's time to turn in for the night, this home offers five comfortable bedrooms including two with king-size beds, two with queens, and a kid-friendly bunk room.
What's nearby:
While there is plenty of fun to be had right outside your door, this home is also not far from a variety of other local attractions. If you're visiting in winter, head up to the Soda Springs Mountain Resort, a family-friendly destination offering ski lessons, sleigh rides, and a large play area for the little ones, less than two miles north. Alternatively, hit the slopes at Sugar Bowl, located less than seven miles east. And for even more watersports and other lake activities, this vacation rental is less than 10 miles from the shores of Donner Lake and only 27 miles from beautiful Lake Tahoe.
Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen and a wet bar
Private washer/dryer
Seasonal canoe and rowboat provided
While chains are required in all vehicles in winter, a 4x4 is recommended
* Please note that homes in this area have slower WiFi that is good for basic web surfing but not good for video conferencing.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 3 vehicles.
Security camera details: Faces Driveway and Entrance
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.
Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 21 years of age to book. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.
