About this property
STUNNING LOG HOUSE & A COOK'S PARADISE!
Nestled in the trees near the top of Skislope, a level driveway takes you to our stunning log home situated on two acres, giving it a parklike setting with privacy and elegance. Designed to evoke the feel of your own private lodge, exquisite attention was given to craftsmanship, finishes and décor. Each log was lovingly hand picked in Montana. A large bank of windows brings the outdoors in no matter the season. The spacious great room with its stone fireplace is the perfect spot to track winter snowdrifts and watch deer and birds.
Two professional bakers designed the kitchen. With prep and kitchen sinks and a large Wolf range with grill, it is easy to prepare an intimate dinner for two or a family Thanksgiving feast. The spacious open floor plan easily meets the needs of a busy family.
Designed for ease of living, there are three bedrooms: one bedroom (queen-size bed) and bathroom on the main floor for those who prefer not to use stairs. Upstairs are the en-suite master bedroom (queen-size bed), and the 3rd bedroom (full-size bed). The loft, with a couch and two twin-size daybeds, provides perfect away space for reading or watching movies. A mudroom minimizes after ski hassles, and forced air heating warms the house quickly. The wonderful wood burning fireplace further enhances the lodge-feeling.
In summer you'll find golf courses, tennis courts, an equestrian center, year-around heated swimming pools, archery, a recreation center with a fully equipped work-out facility, hot tub and sauna, recreation events, day camps, spectacular biking and hiking, and of course access to the Donner Lake Private Beach and Marina with all its water activities for endless terrific family fun, as well as great rock climbing and so much more.
Please check Tahoe Donner's website for more information at www.TahoeDonner.com.
Our property borders the Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort - you might be able to see skiers on the green "Mile Run" at the end of our property. The entrance to the Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort, the Cross Country Ski Area, and the downhill sledding and ice skating rink are mere minutes away. The upper part of our property is great for sledding!
And 20-30 minutes away are the world class ski resorts of Palisades Tahoe/Alpine Meadows, NorthStar, Boreal (Boreal also has Woodward, a fabulous action sports mountain playground), Sugar Bowl and Royal Gorge.
No shortage of things to do to be sure. Truckee has great restaurants and fun shops, Reno's airport is 30 minutes away (Truckee has a small airport), and you are close to the Nevada border for casinos, but if what you want to do is to do nothing at all, then we invite you to our home. Its tranquil beauty is guaranteed to hold you captive. In summer, stargazing while sitting around the gas fire table will make it difficult to ever think of leaving!
On a final note, this home was a labor of love. We trust that those who rent it will keep this in mind and will treat it well. It sleeps six to eight people comfortably. It is not a home for parties or groups. Kids/teenagers must be accompanied by adults.
Maximum length of stay is 14 days.

Please note: We have outside webcams installed for security.

About the host
Hosted by Woutje Swets
This house was love at first sight for us. We love the starry nights, the snow topped trees, the huge logs that were used to build the house - it just fits like a glove any time of the year!
Why they chose this property
Summers are fabulous! There are endless things to do - water sports, a private beach and marina at Donner lake, biking and hiking, tennis, golf, horseback riding, archery - we love it all!
And we love the winter! We go skiing at Squaw, Northstar, Alpine, Boreal, Sugar Bowl, and Tahoe Donner's own Downhill Ski Resort. And then there is Royal Gorge and Tahoe Donner itself for great cross country skiing or snow shoeing. Plus ice skating in Truckee, Northstar and Squaw Valley, and we go snowshoeing right from our house!

What makes this property unique
Our house is very private. It sits on almost two acres and backs up to the Tahoe Donne Ski Resort so we can ski in and ski out. The Tahoe Donner recreation facilities are fabulous with swimming pools, a gym, restaurants, a private beach at Donner Lake, a wonderful golf course, horseback riding, nice restaurants in old town Truckee, or we drive over the border to Nevada to check out the Casinos. So much to do, but also so wonderful to stay home and cook up fabulous meals in the kitchen designed by two professional bakers!
