Hot Tub, Sauna & Forest Views in Tahoe Donner | Cedar Summit by Avantstay

Welcome to Cedar Summit by AvantStay!

Tucked away in the pine-filled community of Tahoe Donner, Cedar Summit is a modern mountain retreat where comfort, connection, and the spirit of the Sierra Nevada come together. Surrounded by towering evergreens and just minutes from Donner Lake and downtown Truckee, this inviting hideaway offers easy access to one of California’s premier all-season playgrounds.

Step inside to discover a bright, open-concept living area where vaulted ceilings, warm wood accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows create a true mountain ambiance. The spacious great room invites cozy gatherings with a large sectional sofa, sleek fireplace, and flat-screen TV—perfect for relaxing after a day outdoors.

The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and all the essentials to make cooking effortless. Share meals around the dining table for six, or step out to the expansive balcony for BBQ dinners under the pines.

After a day of adventure, rejuvenate in the home’s private sauna or outdoor hot tub, surrounded by forest views and crisp alpine air. A dedicated office space with a sleeper sofa adds flexibility for guests working remotely or needing extra sleeping arrangements, while an in-home washer/dryer keeps every stay easy and comfortable.

When it’s time to unwind, four serene bedrooms await—each designed for rest and retreat. The primary suite offers a plush king bed and private ensuite bathroom with a tub/shower combo, while two guest rooms with queen beds provide cozy comfort for couples or friends. A charming bunk room with twin-over-twin beds brings a sense of playfulness perfect for kids or extra guests.

Located within the Tahoe Donner community, guests have access to an array of world-class amenities—from a family-friendly ski hill and one of the nation’s top-rated cross-country ski centers to scenic hiking trails, golf, and lakefront fun at the private Beach Club Marina (seasonal access and fees may apply).

Whether you’re chasing powder, exploring summer trails, or simply unwinding among the trees, Cedar Summit is your gateway to elevated mountain living in the heart of Truckee.
