Looking for a luxurious place to stay in the Tahoe-Donner area? This amazing three bedroom vacation home is just the getaway you've been looking for! You'll enjoy an elegant interior, new furnishings, great outdoor amenities like swimming pools, golf, tennis, and the peace and quiet of the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains.
Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors, wood beamed ceilings, and gorgeous design accents. In the formal living room you can sit back on the comfortable sectional sofa, and watch a DVD or satellite on the TV.
In the chef-inspired kitchen, there's everything you could possibly want - a stainless steel refrigerator, gas range, oven, ample counter space, champagne and martini glasses, a rice cooker, lots of platters, roasting pans - even a waffle maker for lively weekend brunches. This bright space gets a lot of natural light from the windows by the sink.
In addition to the living room, right off the dining room, is a large family room with a foosball table, gas fireplace, a TV, DVD player, and spots for everyone to sit back and relax. Let the kids watch a movie here while the adult have their own movie and martini night in the living room in front of the fire. Grab a book from the shelf and curl up on the window seat with a mug of tea for an afternoon of quiet reading. You'll also find board games, movie libraries, and video games here to provide even more entertainment options.
On sunny days, take to the outdoor deck and enjoy the pine tree-lined scenery! There's a gas grill for summer barbecues and patio furniture so that everyone has a spot. On chilly nights, turn on the heat lamp and do some star gazing, maybe with a champagne toast. It's also the ideal place for a morning cup of coffee while you enjoy the sun, cool mountain breeze, and morning birdsongs.
After a day of skiing, hiking, or biking, you'll have a good night's sleep in three luxurious upstairs bedrooms. The primary suite boasts cherry wood furniture, a TV and DVD player, and an en suite bathroom with a jetted tub, vanity with double sinks, and a walk-in shower. A second bedroom features a rustically elegant pine bed frame with a queen bed, and in the third bedroom, there are two sets of twin bunk beds - let the kids have a slumber party every night. A washer/dryer is available - so you're covered for longer stays as well.
And while this amazing Lake Tahoe vacation rental will definitely provide lots of great memories, you'll have so much to do here in the popular Lake Tahoe region! Nestled in the base village of Tahoe Donner Ski Areas, you're a 10-minute walk, or a two-minute drive to the ticket office and lift area, creating a hassle-free experience.
This mountain community is 30 minutes away from five more ski areas - Northstar, Sugar Bowl, Alpine Meadows, Boreal, and Squaw Valley, offering ample pickings for skiers/riders hungry for variety. Closer to home, Tahoe Donner amenities (with a discounted fee) include swimming pools, shared hot tubs, golf, tennis, bocci ball, a private beach at Donner Lake, and a ski area with tubing hill.
Tahoe Donner offers amazing recreational amenities for every season of the year: three pools (one is year-round outdoor heated lap pool) tennis center, tennis pro shop, golf course, driving range, golf pro shop, fitness center, winter snow play area, ski area, equestrian center cross-country ski center, close to Coyote Moon golf course. The members-only beach club and boat launch on Donner Lake features a beach, boat launch, rentals: boat, kayak, paddleboard, etc., cafe, facilities, parking. All the standard Tahoe Donner amenities are available for a nominal daily fee. Non-standard amenities cost more: equestrian, golf, ski, and fitness classes.
This historic town of Truckee boasts shops, galleries, and restaurants - foodies will be sure to find a hidden gem for a memorable meal out. In the summer, make the short drive to Kings Beach to play on the sand, take a lake cruise, or just enjoy the sights of crystal blue Lake Tahoe.

Fun weekend
We had a nice time at this house. It was great for the kiddos - fooseball, tons of puzzles, books, trains, and more. Definitely a highlight. Cons - the house is not well equipped. Powder shampoo and soap, not enough dishwasher pods, zero laundry detergent, no way to store the food we cooked, etc. Nice to haves, yes, but when they're not there, it's a real bummer. Otherwise, a very comfortable home.

Spacious comfortable house!
We had a lovely time at this house. It was spacious enough to allow people of different age ranges to spread out. Kitchen well stocked. Reallly close to the local ski resort. The fireplace is indeed loud but you just need to turn down the blower. Also the dishwasher didn’t work. But I’m assuming it broke during our visit and will be fixed. I would definitely come back to this house.

Cozy Cabin
We stayed here with another family and it was perfect size... 2 living spaces -- one for adults and one for kids!! Great location and space.
When we did check in the place smelled like cigarette smoke and a few dirty towels were on the ground in the family room?? We opened windows and I bought some air freshner and that seemed to help. Also upon check out, the dishwasher wouldn't start - but it could have been user error! Overall nice place...

Great home for families
We had a great time, the house has tons of toys for kids! It was perfect. There was a leak in the roof, so we had to message the property manager, but didn't hear back.

Snow days in Truckee
The place visually looks great but a few things where not working :
Fan in fireplace- so loud and grinding we were scared to use it.
Keypad with the code was locked so we couldn’t access that way. Thank goodness the cleaning crew was there when we arrived so they let us in when they were done.
The internet didn’t work because we were emailed the wrong network and password. Figured out when the Vacasa representative arrived to figure it out No internet for 1/2 of our stay. The shower head in the master bathroom is broken. I was offered a one day credit from the Vacasa rep but have not seen anything reimbursed yet. These are basic things that really should not have happened if the property was checked before we arrived. Just disappointed because I expected a little bit more from our weekend stay.

Great stay
We enjoyed our stay here. Great location, roomy and spacious for our two families with kids. Bunk room was great, laundry and spacious kitchen with everything we needed! Couple of requests for future renters:
-fireplace insert didn’t work. Instead it made a loud buzzing noise.
-the kids took a bath in the master bath tub and enjoyed the jets. Only issue is it’s started to leak downstairs through the pine ceiling.
-master bath sink drain not draining properly.
-Bunk beds are a little wobbly. Kids loved the bunks but they rattle and shake making it loud and a little sketchy.
-beds could be updated in the other two bedrooms, a little saggy in the middle.
Hopefully the property managers look into these small issues to make this a perfect rental space!

Great family house close to fun
We loved the location and all of the amenities offered in close proximity. Plenty of fun and relaxing things to do at the house that kept everyone entertained. The house was more than big enough for 7 of us. The private beach was perfect but be prepared to spend 16 dollars a person to get in. Overall a great stay and would go back!
