About this property
Hillside Haven - Cozy Tahoe Donner Escape, Close to the TD Ski Hill, near Downtown Truckee
Welcome to Hillside Haven! Located in the resort community of Tahoe Donner, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath property is located on Hillside Dr. just a few minutes away from the Alder Creek Adventure Center.
Enter this bi-level home via the covered front steps. Journey up to the top floor, and you'll enter the main living space. Finished with high vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a rustic hard wood floor, this property is convenient, well equipped, and comfortable. The great room offers a river rock framed wood stove, dining for 6, breakfast bar for 2, and a generous deck off the main living space. The primary king bedroom is offered on the main floor, with entrances to the en suite bath from the bedroom and the hall. Grand vistas of the mountainside are visible from the deck and dining areas.
Downstairs two bedrooms are offered, a queen bedroom and bunk room with queen under twin bunk and additional twin bunk. A shared bath is equipped with a bathtub shower combo. Additional amenities include a laundry room and a large two car garage.
Tahoe Donner is a premier mountain community near Truckee and Donner Lake, offering over 6,000 homes on 7,000 acres with diverse property options and first-rate amenities. Guests enjoy easy access to I-80, reduced Bay Area travel time, and exclusive privileges to pools, hot tubs, fitness centers, tennis courts, golf, a ski resort, and a private beach on Donner Lake. The area offers year-round outdoor activities, ranging from skiing and snow play in winter to golf, hiking, and water sports in summer, along with acclaimed dining at The Lodge Restaurant & Pub and other local eateries. Six guest cards per rental grant access to all amenities for a daily fee, with children two years old and under admitted free of charge. Tahoe Donner is minutes from historic Downtown Truckee and major ski resorts, making it the ideal family getaway for relaxation, adventure, and unparalleled value in North Lake Tahoe. Please note: amenity access may require seasonal fees; some amenities may be unavailable during renovations. For more information, please visit the Tahoe Donner website.

Please remember that living in the mountains and staying in a private home means that there are some things we cannot control. For example, weather and harsh conditions have knocked out Wifi and the power before. While these instances are rare, we please ask that you are patient as these are things that we unfortunately cannot control. While we will try to accommodate all requests, we handle refunds for situations like this (power outages, appliances breaking, etc.) on a case by case basis.
