Welcome to our beautiful home! While surrounded by the beauty and serenity of the Lake Tahoe area, you will have all the amenities, conveniences and connectivity you enjoy at home. The open floor plan great room features an incredible fully equipped chef's kitchen including a Nespresso VertuoLine (we love to cook and are serious about our morning coffee!), a large island with 4 bar stools, a dining table that seats 8, a game table, a gas starter wood fireplace and a new TV with all the aps (apple TV, Netflix, Hulu etc) . A custom built artisan 10' shuffleboard table has also been installed for fun indoor activities on those rainy/snowy days. The large deck off the great room has a gas barbecue (irect from the house so never runs out!) as well as patio furniture in the summer. High speed WifFi throughout the house. As we have 2 young boys of our own the house is very kid friendly.
Our home is located within a short walk the Donner Downhill ski area (0.2miles) and trails are ½ mile away and in easy walking distance for snowshoeing, hiking and mountain biking. There is an attached 3 car garage and ample driveway parking for additional cars (4) . A mile away are the Trout Creek Recreation Center, Golf Course and driving range/sledding hill.
The Trout Creek Recreation Center offers hot tubs (three of them!), a large swimming pool (summer), a separate lap pool (heated in winter), saunas, fitness center, classes and health spa. Tahoe Donner also has an outstanding tennis center, cross country/equestrian/mountain biking center and a small downhill ski area. There is a private beach for swimming and boating at Donner Lake 3 miles away.

This is our second home that we take great pride in as we also use it monthly to escape the bustle of everyday life. We strive to make this your home away from home as well! Personal touches allow more flexibility and personalized care that some of the professionally managed rentals cannot provide. We hope your family enjoys the home as much as we do!
This is a mountain home and with that comes the excitement of unpredictable winter weather, (short) power outages, and sometimes highway closure. There will be no refunds due to weather and factors out of our control. We encourage trip insurance or booking an extra night if you want extra buffer around your trip.
Bullfrog hydrotherapy hot tub!
Enjoy a night with family and friends exchanging stories about your day while getting those achy muscles recovered with individualized hydrotherapy jets. This luxurious spa comes equipped with 6 customized JetPaks to elevate the hyrotherapeutic experience- this really is a unique relaxing hot tub experience. (Do note that Tahoe Donner strictly enforces the quiet hours of 10pm-7am)
*** pet rental policy **
We do allow 1 dog per reservation with pre approval only for an additional 200 pet fee. While we love dogs, (our dog travels everywhere with us too!) and we have been happy to allow them to be included in family vacations in the past, the unfortunate abuse of this rule with destructive dogs has forced us to be more selective.
