Bernese's Bungalow - Mountain Escape: Dog-Friendly Cabin near Hiking and Golf

Year round fun awaits at Bernese's Bungalow! This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home is located in the lower half of Tahoe Donner, only 10 minutes from downtown Truckee and Donner Lake, and 20 minutes to beautiful north Lake Tahoe.

Enter the home through the front door and mud room into the main living space. The great room area offers two sitting areas: one centered on the gas fireplace and another around the flat-screen TV with a DVD player and streaming device. Other highlights include updated hardwood floors, a remodeled kitchen, a dining table that seats 6, and a breakfast bar that seats 4. A back door from the dining space leads to a large, sunny deck, equipped with a gas BBQ and outdoor furniture. Down the hall on the main floor, a shared bath with a bathtub and shower combo and a bedroom are offered. The bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed, desk and full size closet.

Upstairs, you'll find the main bedroom floor and an additional bathroom. On opposite sides of the floor, you'll find one king and one queen bedroom, both offering lots of windows and vaulted ceilings, for plenty of natural light. In the middle of the floor is the shared bath with a bathtub and shower combo, and a double sink vanity. Opposite the bathroom is a spacious bunk room with two twin bunks and plenty of space for kids to hang out. This floor is rounded out by a full sized washer and dryer in the laundry room. The garage fits one Subaru or similar size vehicle, and you can access the home with the keypad for easy access during storms.

In an effort to be more eco-friendly, we no longer supply hotel style amenities; 3 and 1 body wash/shampoo is provided. Please refer to the FAQ document for a detailed list of the supplies included in your stay.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bernese's Bungalow!

This is a great family-friendly cabin close to Truckee. Our 3 generation family of 9 enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner there. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our dinner and to store our leftovers. There were plenty of games for all to play and a dusting of snow to enjoy outside. Our two grand-dogs were welcomed which made the trip that much more enjoyable. We hope to return.

Kitchen, common area was very inviting to hangout and play cards as well as a mat for the dog bowls. My dog absolutely loved to hang out on the deck with us, the only issue with the deck is there wasn’t a railing for my elderly mother to use to go up/down the stairs. Parking was a bit challenging if you have multiple cars, parking is not allowed on the street, we had to play musical cars a few times to get the car out of the garage.

Great property

This house suited our needs perfectly. If I had one suggestion it would be that additional clothes hanging space be installed. One bedroom had no closet, another bedroom’s closet was locked shut, the 3rd bedroom’s closet rod/shelf was laying on the floor. We could have utilized the coat closet by the front door but it’s very inconvenient. We all had clothes to hang as we were in Truckee for a wedding. Other than that, the place was great.

This property is up to date and recently renovated. It has all the accommodations you could ask for to prepare your own meals, bedding, and towels. The only thing I wish it had was TVs in the bedrooms. But that aside it has a lot of board games to play instead. We will be coming back.
