ABOUT OUR HOME
Our sunny, modern, and beautifully decorated four-bedroom Truckee vacation home is located in the popular Tahoe Donner community. Whatever the season, there’s tons to do outside, whether hiking, swimming, golfing, mountain biking, playing tennis and paddle-boarding in the summer or enjoying the world-class skiing nearby in the winter. For those days when you don’t feel like heading out, stay in and enjoy the hot tub, the gourmet kitchen, the sunny deck among the trees, or just curling up with a good book in front of the fire.

The house throughout has been tastefully decorated in an eclectic modern style, with attention to detail everywhere you look.

On the main level of the house, the open floor plan includes a great room with room for everyone to socialize, a fully-stocked kitchen for the chef in your group and a dining table that seats twelve for your family feasts. Also on this floor is the Master Suite which has a large and sunny bedroom with king-size bed, a walk-in closet and a luxurious stone and granite bathroom with a step-in shower, two vanities and a large jacuzzi tub. Two other bedrooms are on this floor, each with a king-size bed, and together they share a bathroom with twin vanities and a tub with shower.

Downstairs you'll find the two remaining sleeping areas. There's the fourth bedroom with two twin beds, one of which can convert to a queen-size bed on a trundle, and a bunk room with four twin beds. There are two more bathrooms, one with a luxurious deep tub as well as a step-in shower and the other with a large step-in shower. The large recreation room has a widescreen HD TV (with cable), a modern sectional sofa, a DVD player, a card table, as well as a selection of toys and games.

The beds in our home all have new, comfortable, high-quality mattresses and high thread-count linens. There are laundry facilities on both floors. All bedrooms and the rec room are carpeted, while the bathrooms all have heated floors - no cold feet here!

Outside, you will find a big sunny deck off the great room with a large gas grill, umbrella, and seating for twelve for an outdoor feast. Downstairs there is a wide patio with a six-person hot tub where you can enjoy a soak amongst the trees after a day out hiking or on the slopes. We have an ample two car garage and a flat driveway (an important feature when there is any snowfall) with space for two more cars.

This beautiful home sleeps up to 12 guests and is especially well-suited to three couples with up to six children. Our home is ideal for year-round getaways, whether you bring your skis or your hiking boots, with family and friends.

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING:
We kindly request that you send an inquiry prior to a making booking request. And we always appreciate it when guests include a brief description of their group.

ABOUT OUR LOCATION
Our house is conveniently located near the entrance to Tahoe Donner, which makes for a much easier return home after a day of skiing in the winter, and is just a mile away from the Coyote Ranch golf course. Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Northstar, and Sugar Bowl ski resorts are all less than 30 minutes away. Just a ten minute drive from the house are the Tahoe Donner Ski Resort which is great for young kids and adults learning to ski, and the Alder Creek Adventure Center with its extensive summer and winter trail network. Our summer guests will appreciate the numerous hiking trails within walking distance from our home, while beautiful Lake Tahoe is about 15 miles away. One of the owners' favorite activities is to hike a forested trail directly into Truckee's historic old town for great shopping, coffee and ice cream shops, and fine dining.

Whether you come for a family reunion, a group retreat, or a multi-family vacation, this Lake Take vacation rental offers deluxe community amenities, luxurious touches throughout, and everything you'll need for a memorable time in Tahoe.

About the host

Hosted by Carl & Susannah Bettag

Host profile image
Our home is owned jointly by 3 San Francisco families who love to ski, snowboard, hike and bike during the day, and cook together and share a bottle (or bottles) of wine and delicious meals in the evenings. Carl and Susannah are currently taking point on managing rentals, but you may hear from Dave, Antje, or Kevin as well. Jeanette mostly handles the finances :-) With 6 of us to take care of things, we pride ourselves on being responsive.

Why they chose this property

We use this house for ourselves for the bulk of the ski season, with all three families hanging out together and enjoying our regular Saturday night feasts for 12. With that in mind, we picked this house because the location is not very deep into the Tahoe Donner development, so we can get to the slopes quickly. The driveway is flat, which is essential in wintry conditions. In the summertime, it's just a few minutes to the pool or Donner Lake, and the driveway is great for the pogo sticks you'll find in the garage.

What makes this property unique

Unlike many houses in the area, we chose to create a modern, clean space that forgoes the typical Tahoe cliches. You won't find old skis, wooden reindeer, or rustic log furniture in this house :-).

The house looks great and feels right. The things you need are at hand. Kids run around downstairs in the rec room or explore the woods out the back while you relax in the living room upstairs or soak in the hot tub. Or seat 12 for a feast in the great room upstairs. People universally settle in & have a great time - you will too.
