About this property

This Tahoe Donner vacation home is two stories, 1950 square feet, with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Our home is on a very quiet street within walking distance of the Tahoe Donner Ski Hill parking lot/shuttle pick up and has a large, flat yard surrounded by trees that makes for excellent snow play in the winter and yard play or outdoor relaxing in the summer.

Although not upgraded, the home is very clean, well-maintained with newer furnishings, mountain themed art and antiques; yet it is child safe. Those who cook will enjoy the large, well-equipped kitchen and adjoining dining area that seats eight. The covered deck off the dining room is a great place to enjoy the outdoors during the spring, summer and fall or stay dry during the winter. The living room comes equipped with a curved screen TV, DVD player (and videos) and board games. There is a wood burning stove with an ample firewood supply.

The home sleeps up to seven (5-6 adults comfortably). The large master suite has a king-size bed, comfortable recliner, flat screen television/DVD, jacuzzi bath, and private balcony. The second bedroom has a single/double bunkbed (and views of the ski hill!) The third bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed. There is an attached two-car garage with kitchen access and a mudroom at the front entrance. Pets are NOT allowed, No Smoking please.

During the winter you are only a short drive from Tahoe Donner's well-regarded cross county skiing. North Lake Tahoe ski resorts (incl Northstar and Palisades) are all within a 20-minute drive.
In the summer enjoy hiking, mountain biking and access to Tahoe Donner member facilities including the TD golf course, Tennis Center, Equestrian Center, Donner Lake private beach and marina, and Trout Creek Recreation Center and pools. See the Tahoe Donner website for more information on Tahoe Donner activities, amenities, and non-accompanied guest access fees.

Tahoe Donner is about 10 minutes from the mountain town of Truckee, which offers all major conveniences plus great restaurants and shops.

***Please note the damage deposit option to VRBO's insurance is $500 (not the $2000 which is automatically calculated in the quote if insurance is refused). We will manually update the quote if you wish to book with this option.

This home is registered with the Town of Truckee for short-term rental use and guests must adhere to Town of Truckee and Tahoe Donner covenants.

Great home away from home for snow play

We had a great stay with another family! The 2 bedrooms (king and queen) for adults and the big kid room (twin/double bunk and double futon) were perfect for our two families and for the kids to be able to hang out together too. We definitely made use of the kitchen, as we cooked every meal at home to allow more play time for the kiddos. The BIG dining table comfortably seated 8, but of the course the kids preferred to eat at the coffee table in front of the TV (and loved the two little rocking chairs!). The kiddos loved having a backyard full of snow to play in. We brought our own snow toys, but the sleds and toys available in the garage are a nice touch. There were also plenty of board games and DVDs available too. The wood stove is nice to keep the home warm (with plenty of wood in the garage) though the master bedroom was pretty chilly at night - leaving the door open during the day helped though! And there are plenty of blankets around to keep you warm and cozy! We kept commenting that we wish we had more time to stay at least one more day to really enjoy ourselves properly! The 2 nights just wasn’t enough! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Kathie E.

We reside in the SF Bay Area (Sonoma County). Mark is in the wine business and Kathie works for a large biotech firm. We've owned and enjoyed our Tahoe Donner property for many years and rent it on a limited basis to vacationing families as well.

We made a decision some time ago that we don't expect rental income to cover the costs and therefore don't keep it rented all the time. We'd prefer to keep wear and tear to a minimum and therefore tend to shy away from large groups, last minute discounts, etc. We try to keep the house well maintained and our rates reasonable.

Why they chose this property

We had stayed in various rentals around Tahoe Donner for many years. We love the area and wanted a home that would provide family time and memories. A place that was enjoyable in winter AND summer.

We wanted a home that was clean, comfortable, and not full of second hand furnishings. Lots of snow (house is at 6700' elevation), but without the wind of the homes on the hills or steep, winding, icy driveways.

Not only has this house has fit the bill for us in the above ways, we love the layout. Nice sized bedrooms, open kitchen to the large dining table, easy garage access, great covered deck off the back to enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Our home is also located on a quieter street with several full time residents.

An additional bonus is the Tahoe Donner location. Close to Truckee, Lake Tahoe and the big resorts, yet is accessible from the 1st exit coming into Truckee. Although our home at an upper elevation, this still saves us 30 minutes both in and out (and that's without weekend traffic!!) On a Friday night or Sunday afternoon this is a non-trivial benefit..

What makes this property unique

We have several favorite Tahoe Donner amenities. During the winter, the local ski and sled hills are fun and convenient.

In the summer, we enjoy walking and hiking the awesome trials, going to both pools, boating on Donner Lake at Tahoe Donner's private beach and Marina. While not golfers, this is one reason many owners buy and live here. Having a local bar and grill and a pizzeria is terrific as well.

We often go into Truckee for shopping and restaurants (favorite Mexican restaurant in N Cal is El Toro Bravo), visit Lake Tahoe, or ski Northstar, Palisades or Sugar Bowl.
