Mountain Escape – Modern Craftsman Retreat with Stunning Views & Family-Friendly Amenities

Experience mountain living at its finest in our elevated Mountain Modern craftsman-style home, nestled among the pines with breathtaking treetop views of snow-capped peaks. Thoughtfully designed for relaxation and togetherness, this inviting retreat combines cozy comforts with stunning natural surroundings—perfect for families, multi-family groups, and anyone seeking a memorable Truckee/Tahoe getaway.

Spacious Comfort for Up to 3 Families
With two luxurious master suites on the main floor and two additional bedrooms downstairs, this home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests. Ideal for multi-generational trips, the layout allows for both privacy and connection. Kids can rest undisturbed downstairs while adults enjoy wine on the deck or fireside chats in the vaulted living room.

Chef-Equipped Kitchen
The heart of the home is the fully stocked kitchen, meticulously prepared by a chef-owner with everything you need—from essentials to spices—to cook up family feasts and memorable meals. Dine inside or take dinner outdoors under the stars.

Outdoor Spaces for Every Season
Gather around the gas fire pit on the front deck, roast marshmallows, or take in a vibrant mountain sunset. The almost secluded back deck features a cozy seating area (non-winter months only) and a second firepit for morning coffee with the sunrise. Relax in the soothing private hot tub—ideal for starry nights and après-ski unwinding.

Endless Indoor Fun
Rainy day? No problem. Challenge friends to a ping pong match, darts, or foosball, or settle in with a movie on one of the multiple TVs equipped with streaming, Xbox, or Wii. Board games galore bring joy for all ages.

Comfort in Every Season
Vaulted ceilings and large windows flood the home with light and nature views. Two portable evaporative cooling systems help keep the main level comfortable during warm summer days, while a cozy gas fireplace warms the evenings. Note: gas generator powers the whole house instantly, should storms interrupt power in the area.

Recreation Just Steps Away
Located a 15-minute walk from Trout Creek Recreation Center, guests enjoy access (with a nominal daily fee) to a heated lap pool, jacuzzi, full gym, sauna, and summer events and z-Market for last minute needs... Oh and can't leave out The Lodge and golf course is only 15 minute walk where you can enjoy fine dining to casual fare. The home backs up to a peaceful greenbelt, offering privacy and a lush forest backdrop.

Year-Round Mountain Adventures
Ski or snowboard at nearby Tahoe Donner (6 mins), or venture to Northstar (12 miles), Palisades Tahoe (14 miles), Sugar Bowl (11 miles), and Alpine Meadows (17 miles). Enjoy family time at the Tahoe Donner Private Members Beach Marina where you can enjoy a sip by the outdoor firepits at the newly renovated deck, or enjoy a dip in the lake, rent kayaks, SUP, sailing and other water vessels. Summer brings a plethora of outdoor fun from hiking, tennis, golf, and even white-water rafting. Check out our recommendations for activities.

Perfect Location
Only 9 miles to Donner Lake and 18 miles to Lake Tahoe, you’re immersed in nature yet close to everything. Explore the charming Historic Downtown Truckee (12 miles) with its farm-to-table dining, boutique shopping, music scene, and welcoming community.

Walkable Dining & Essentials
A local market and the Tahoe Donner Lodge restaurant are within walking distance—whether you're in the mood for a casual bite, fine dining, or just drinks on the patio under the stars.

Whether you're seeking adventure or serenity, our Mountain Escape delivers an unforgettable stay. Book your next North Lake Tahoe vacation and make lifelong memories in a home that feels like it was designed just for you.

Note: We highly recommend trip protection plan for the winter months due to unpredictable storms. As well, the Hot tub is also storm dependent as it is outside in the elements. Some winters the hot tub access is affected by the amount of snow. If a private hot tub is important to you, please check with the host before booking.

** NOTE: OUR HOME IS A SHOE FREE HOME... Please leave your shoes in the mud room before entering the home. We provide non skid socks.
*** NOTE: OUR HOME IS A SMOKING FREE PROPERTY... Absolutely no smoking of any kind inside or on the premises of our property. The environment is a highly flammable area with lots of foliage and often dry. Please respect our No Smoking policy.

Perfect Family House

We had such a great time at Kim’s cabin! House was perfect for our whole family, 5 grown kids and our grandchild. We loved the views, big family room, hot tub and well stocked kitchen. Game room got a lot of use - ping pong and darts were fun! We hope to visit again soon!

Cozy mountain retreat, helpful host

We had a wonderful week in Tahoe Donner in this warm and comfortable cabin. There's plenty of hang-out space, including a cozy loft with foosball. The kitchen is well supplied, and even has sharp knives. Our host Kim was super responsive and helped us out with a couple of issues related to the huge snowfall we had that week.

Great house located in a super convenient part of TD

The house is perfect for groups or individual families. The kitchen is well stocked with all the things you need to cook a decent meal and the outdoor table on the deck is great for evening dining. Location wise, this house is perfect for a short walk or drive to trout creek rec center. You will always be able to beat the crowds to the pool on busier weekends since the home is just a few short blocks away. The neighborhood this house is located on is really quiet and great for evening strolls. We really enjoyed our time at this house!

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway

This was a great house to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. We loved that there was plenty of room for all 9 of us to sleep (no bunkbeds!) and space for us to hang out without feeling crammed in the house. The kitchen was well equipped to cook and serve our Thanksgiving meal and lots of games and things to do to keep us entertained when we weren’t outside.

Great family getaway!

This was a great place to stay for a lowkey family getaway. We didn't venture out but it is very close to ammentities and resorts for those who are more adventurous. The house is stocked with high-end kitchen tools which was really nice! The dual master suits were nice to have for extra space and the masters has tons of room for pack n plays if you have young kids. They put up baby gates which was extremely helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

Cozy House with Great Views

We had a really nice stay over 6 nights. It is a very cozy place and really appreciated the views to the distant mountains. We had a gorgeous sunset one night and beautiful moon rises. We really enjoyed the hot tub on the deck and being able to gaze at the stars. Turning on the fireplace with the press of a button was terrific. Our kids enjoyed having the Wii and Xbox. The master bedrooms make for cozy hangout spots for the kids. There is cool hill in the back to explore and go sledding. Having Z Market just a minute away was really convenient. I'd say the only downside is that there is no common bathroom on the main floor (just the 2 masters) so my son sleeping in the loft had to come into one of the bedrooms at night to go potty (he was scared to go all the way downstairs). Probably not a big deal for older kids or adults. The showers and carpets in the masters are very nice. Kim is a great host and very on top of things. We hope to return!

Wonderful skiing vacation

We had our children enrolled in the Sugar Bowl ski race academy for the month of January so we were looking for a base that felt like home. Kim’s house is exactly that - warm even during the couple of heavy storms we had, large enough the kids could play all day without getting bored on snow days, every amenity would find in your own home from waffle machines to XBox games. The hot tub was a winner with the kids even when it was snowing. Nothing was a problem with Kim or Jesse (the housekeeper) to make our visit as comfortable as possible. We would recommend this to any of our friends and happily to stay here again.

Family Thanksgiving

Wonderful place. Access was a bit rough in snow. If chance of snow fall would highly recommend chains even if have four wheel (all wheel) drive. Just enough slope to need a little extra help getting up. Home is laid out perfectly for large family or group. Beautiful slope on side of house for sledding. Kitchen is stocked with most things needed. Might want to bring another pot as there is one pasta pot and one saucepan. We made it work. Lots of things for the young ones to stay busy. Hot tub was WONDERFUL. Such a beautiful place, Kim was more than attentive, and her special touches were seen everywhere throughout the home. Would highly recommend this home for anyone hoping to make special memories.

Peaceful and Beautiful

This Home was not only beautiful and peaceful but, Kim, made us feel welcomed before we even set foot in the door! She called days before to communicate updates about her home and was attentive to our needs. On our first night we were welcomed with a beautiful savory vegetable tray, chocolate treats and a nice bottle of wine; helping us relax after the long drive, no need to rush into making dinner! The kitchen was nicely appointed with all we needed. It was great that the basics were provided. (a few spices, zip lock bags, cooking supplies etc) We travel with our own french press and grinder...But her coffee machine is now on my wish list! The beds and bedding were so comfortable, I had NO desire to get up! Wished I could stay in bed! It was all I could do to keep the kids from packing up the blankets! (I really need to ask where she shops!) The house is very spacious and easy to have your own space if staying with other families. The kids never bothered us once! With all the 'zoom-zooms'...games, electronics and hot tub, all of us where in heaven... We look forward to our return!

Why they chose this property

We've been enjoying Tahoe and Truckee areas for the past eight years. With so much to offer, from skiing to river rafting, camping, exploring, water sports and making friends, we found this is the perfect home to create cherished memories both with our family and community.

What makes this property unique

A majestic retreat that allows you to escape in solitude, but not too far away if you want to share and be part of the community. There is so much to do and see all year round. It truly is a special, magical place. The wildlife, the elements, the community, the dining options are tremendously vast, from simple to opulent. We love that we're so close to two beautiful lakes, both Tahoe and Donnor and so many little towns within 15 to 30 minutes drive, from Downtown Truckee, to Tahoe City, Tahoe Vista, Northstar, Squaw, Crystal Bay, Emerald Bay, Boreal, Soda Springs, we're right in the center of it all.
