About this property

Stylish Truckee Retreat | Deck, Near Lake & Skiing | Moraine by AvantStay

Welcome to Moraine, a stylish Lake Tahoe hideaway designed with both comfort and convenience in mind. Tucked away in the coveted Donner Lake neighborhood of Truckee, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is the perfect year-round base for outdoor adventurers, family getaways, or friends looking to relax in the heart of the Sierra.

Inside, a spacious sectional anchors the open-concept living room, inviting your group to gather for game nights or movies after a day on the lake or slopes. The adjacent dining table seats everyone comfortably, while the fully equipped kitchen ensures that homemade meals are always on the menu. With thoughtful touches like in-home laundry and ample parking, longer stays are effortless.

The home’s layout includes a cozy bunk room ideal for kids or groups needing flexible sleeping arrangements, along with two serene bedrooms for restful nights. Step outside to the expansive deck, where loungers and an outdoor dining area create the perfect setting for al fresco breakfasts or sunset happy hours.

Located just minutes from the crystal-clear waters of Donner Lake, top-tier skiing at Sugar Bowl, and the historic charm of downtown Truckee, Moraine offers easy access to all the best of North Lake Tahoe. Whether you're paddleboarding in summer, skiing in winter, or simply soaking in the mountain air, Moraine is your gateway to it all.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs.

Situated in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake's cobalt blue water. Whether you're looking for a day in the mountains or a cruise on the lake, you can have it all in Tahoe.

This was a great place in a quiet neighborhood, except for the construction going on next door and the house in front. But that noise was mild. We even saw a BEAR run from the side of the house to the next door house! My kids LOVED that!!!!My only recommendation, add grab bars in the bathrooms and non-slip mats in the bottom of the showers.

Great Spot

We came up for a weekend with our three little ones (7, 5, and 3). The location was perfect. Very close to fun snow activities and in a picturesque setting right by Donner Lake. The layout worked perfectly for our family. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds and we were very pleased that all the bedrooms were on the same level. The house is cozy and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy and comfortable stay

The check-in process was effortless. The house was clean and comfortable, although it felt small for two families and somewhat dated. A refresh of the duvet covers and basic condiments like sugar and salt in the kitchen would significantly enhance the overall feel of this house.

Great spot

This house was in a great location, close to Donner Lake, 2 minutes off the freeway, 4 minutes from the grocery stores. It was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen (cookware and plenty of dishes). There were plenty of games for us to play and the Wii was fun for the boys to play. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of blankets available to use. The towels were nice thick and good quality. Sandra was pleasant to communicate with and super easy to talk to. She answered any questions i had regarding the property. Overall, great experience and highly recommend this place.

Vacation Stay

We live in the Sacramento area but wanted to get away, so we chose to stay here as it was only an hour drive but felt like we were in Tahoe with the beautiful trees and Donner lake close by. It was a nice respite but only took one hour to get home! I highly recommend and would stay again! Great for families.
