*TAHOE DONNER AMENITIES You will be provided guest passes that permit access and discount pricing at numerous Tahoe Donner recreational amenities such as the Trout Creek Recreation Center, Snow Play Area (has sledding), and Tahoe Donner Ski Area (ideal for beginners/families with kids). Tahoe Donner boasts a premier Nordic center with 70 km of trails, excellent for both beginner and advanced cross country skiers. Five minutes away, The Trout Creek Recreation Center has an exercise facility with state of the art exercise equipment, fitness classes, an adult lap pool that is heated to 82 degrees year-round, saunas, and massage treatments.
In the non-winter months, the Tahoe Donner amenities include a private beach on the east side of Donner Lake, where you can enjoy a BBQ, swimming, boat/kayak rentals and the use of the private boat launch. Crawdad fishing is a favorite of the kids in the marina. There are three swimming pools, tennis courts and bocce ball courts. Also biking trails, hiking, campgrounds and a world-class 18 hole golf course. Oh yes, there is also an equestrian center with pony rides for kids. Tahoe City and Kings Beach are less than 15 miles away.
Tahoe Donner is a great area for families or groups looking to get away from it all without being out of touch. You are only a short drive (25-30 mins) to some of the world's best skiing, including Squaw Valley and Northstar. You are also close (10-15 mins) to downtown Truckee, a bustling little mountain town with some of the best restaurants and shopping Lake Tahoe has to offer.
One lesson we've learned about the great outdoors is the frequent requirement to wipe down the deck furniture. Despite our efforts to maintain the utmost cleanliness for your convenience, it seems that nature is working against us. You may need to wipe down the outdoor table, chairs, and any other outdoor seating. The dust and pollen accumulates within a matter of hours.

Glad you enjoyed your stay Robert! Come back and stay with us again soon.
Property was adequate for our needs. Although no pets were allowed, there was a distinct odor (urine?) when we entered the property and there were dog bowls on the floor.
Our second time visiting this property and we will keep it on our list to come back and visit again. Great communication and the house is clean and organized. Easy access to town. Family friendly house
We really enjoyed our stay in Tahoe Donner. The house was very clean and cozy! We hope to stay there again in the future!

Thanks Christy for you wonderful review! We really enjoyed having you at our home, and we'd love to see you again if you come back up to our neck of the woods! :)
