About this property

5-bedroom Luxury Home , on 3 acres of pine trees with Hot Tun, Dogs ok

Welcome to Royal Zen! This impressive five-bedroom getaway is nestled amongst pine trees on 3 acres, located in a private yet accessible neighborhood in Truckee. This peaceful sanctuary is not your typical Tahoe cabin, and emanates cosy luxury living versus a stale rental. Professionally decorated with antique furniture imported from Bali, the modern zen style is unique and comfortable.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, complete with all the necessary appliances and utensils to whip up delicious meals. Gather your loved ones around the 10 foot kitchen island or sit at the extra large dining table. The large outdoor patio is great to enjoy alfresco dining, or relax around the fire pit table, taking in the breathtaking woodsy views.

When it's time to unwind, sink into the plush seating of the living room and cozy up by the gas fireplace. Indulge in a soak in the private hot tub, or venture out to the nearby shops and restaurants of down town Truckee. The home is perfect for large groups or extended families and has two separate living room areas, with comfortable couches to watch the smart TVs with satellite/cable channels for your entertainment.

With 4.5 bathrooms, towels, and basic toiletries, you'll have all the essentials to make your stay comfortable. Enjoy the convenience of a washing machine and dryer, as well as 2 dishwashers for easier clean up after big meals.

Royal Zen is just a short 22-minute drive from the renowned Northstar California Resort and 15 minutes from the serene Donner Lake. Palisades Ski Resort and Lake Tahoe are each a 35 minute drive from this property.

Whether you're seeking a relaxing retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, this Truckee vacation home offers the perfect escape for your next mountain getaway. Experience the beauty of the mountains and create lasting memories with your loved ones.

Beautiful home

This home was perfect for our group of two families. The kitchen/living area is beautiful and the views out the huge windows are amazing. The kitchen was well equipped. It is a very quiet residential neighborhood so I don’t recommend it if you have a noisy group that plans on partying loudly.

This home has everything you'll need for a relaxing, quiet stay. We've never seen such a fully equipped kitchen - made for seamless cooking and baking. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out or come together. And the entire house is clean and comfortable. Property management and cleaning crew were so kind and attentive.

This house is spacious, well maintained and sits in a beautiful setting! We had a small family reunion of 12 people from 3 yrs to adult.

Great getaway

This is a wonderful property. Quiet and relaxing. Large enough that our large group could be together or spend time apart. Close enough to a really good local pizza place and small grocery store. Our family used this home as a relaxing place to rest during our daughter's wedding festivities.

About the host

Hosted by Kristin O'Connell

Host profile image
Originally from Boston, I moved to Tahoe in my 20's to ski and decided to make it my home base. I continued to return to Cape Cod every summer per my family tradition and still do now with my own children. Shortly after building this dream home, my husband and I started traveling to Costa Rica to surf and rented out our home to pay for our trips. In 2011, we traded in our skis for surfboards and made the full time move to Nosara, Costa Rica. However, the mountains were calling us back, so recently we decided to start spending more time back in Truckee. Since I love creative projects I decided to redecorate and refurnish our entire home with custom furniture imported from Bali. Now we split our time between Truckee, Costa Rica, and Cape Cod.

Why they chose this property

I moved to Lake Tahoe in 1997 years ago and a few years later bought my first home just a few streets over from this property. I used to hike the trails and when I saw that there was land for sale I jumped at the opportunity. I built this house years ago and it was my ultimate dream project. I wanted to build something modern and different than the typical cabin but that still felt like a mountain home. I loved creating a different look using many different materials like steel, concrete, glass and fir wood. I feel it has a unique yet timeless style and more so now with the new decor and interior design. The new furnishings are antique and custom made teak furniture from Bali which offer an eclectic and Bohemian style that blends nicely with the modern features. I absolutely love it, I hope you do too!

What makes this property unique

I love entertaining and this home was built to have friends and family come and enjoy the mountains. It was built with the intention of providing a spacious and relaxed retreat feeling and a place where you never wanted to leave. Since the upstairs family room and second master have large doors, it feels like a separate apartment. This is great for sharing the house with another family or letting children or teenagers have their lounge area without hearing them! The downstairs great room is my favorite to just stare out the windows and get lost in the peacefulness of the trees. Nearly every window looks out to huge ponderosa pine trees. The kitchen is my absolute favorite and if you like to cook you will love all the space, 2 dishwashers, and my special treat...a steam oven! The extra large island has 5 chairs around it so you can hold court while cooking, and still socialize with others in the living and dining areas. We have had many great holidays here! I hope you enjoy our home as much as we do!
