About this property

Skislope Sanctuary | Close to Outdoor Activities

Summary:

*Please read the listing carefully before booking.*



Welcome to Skislope Sanctuary, a stunning mountain residence only minutes from the shores of Donner Lake and a quick drive to the slopes of Northstar California Resort with world-class skiing, mountain dining, and shopping. Skislope Sanctuary is a quiet and restful retreat between adventures in the great outdoors of Tahoe.



The Space:

Grand ceilings frame the great room with floor to ceiling windows and a tall stone fireplace. Enjoy nature-filled views while the fire keeps you cozy. Part of your group can relax on the couch with a movie playing on the smart tv, while others can gather for snacks and visiting at the kitchen bar.



Equipped with everything you need, the kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a coffee maker, and toaster for convenient cooking at home. Enjoy dinner at the dining table with seating for 8. In warm months the outdoor deck is furnished, offering additional space to share meals in the fresh mountain air.



This home sleeps 10 guests between 4 private bedrooms and a futon in the loft.



Bedroom #1 is the primary suite on the second floor, with a king bed, smart tv, gas fireplace, and ensuite bathroom with jacuzzi tub, dual sinks, and walk-in shower.



Bedroom #2, also on the second floor, has a queen bed and a shared hallway bathroom with shower/tub combo.



Bedrooms #3 and #4, on the first floor, have a queen bed and smart tv. They share a hallway bathroom with a shower/tub combo.



THINGS TO NOTE:

- A full size futon is located in the loft.

- Parking space is provided for 1 car in the garage and 3 additional cars in the driveway. The driveway is steep and requires 4WD or chains in the winter.

Skislope Sanctuary puts you in the heart of Tahoe ski country with nearby world-class ski resorts including:

- Northstar (12 miles)

- Palisades Tahoe (13 miles)

- Homewood (23 miles)



Although this stay puts you right in the Tahoe ski action, there is a wide spread of activities to enjoy year-round in nearby areas. Miles of both paved and dirt trails for biking of all levels are nearby. Epic hiking trails with stunning panoramic views dot the region. Donner Lake is minutes away, plus enjoy popular beaches on Tahoe Lake’s crystal blue water or find a private cove with unforgettable swimming. From boating and water sports to fishing and kayaking, there’s no shortage of activities on the lake.



When you’re not hitting the slopes or exploring the lake, Tahoe’s entertainment scene is waiting to impress. Local art galleries, shopping boutiques, live entertainment, iconic food spots, and bustling nightlife fill the vibrant communities of Truckee and North Lake Tahoe.

Perfect family ski get away

Loved this house for a family ski trip. Fit two families perfectly and the layout was perfect. Amazing snowy views, vaulted ceiling, and fire places. Laundry room had a perfect mud room entrance for ski gear.

Great spot

We had a lovely stay at the cabin. The communication from the mgmt company was seemless and the check in was easy. The cabin was in good condition and fully stocked with what we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We would stay there again.

Great location

Very nice house with a great location. Took about 30 minutes to drive to Lake Tahoe. The property manager was very responsive. The only thing we missed in the listing was that the house does not have AC. They did bring us an extra fan which was very nice.

Great place. Poor communication with management

The property itself was adequate, but the poor communication with the host greatly detracted from our experience. Their phone would ring indefinitely

Nice house but needs TLC

Skislope Sanctuary was a nice house, great location with plenty of space but truly needs some attention. Kitchen cabinets were in bad shape and the kitchen was lacking in basic supplies. There weren't any sponges for cleaning and missing a wine opener. Other parts of the house was the same The doors were very difficult to lock. Some TLC would go a long way to make this a great house. The listing didn't show an outdoor grill, the Grand Welcome office didn't have their information correct either but there was an outdoor grill. Overall, it was a good stay but we wouldn't consider this house again unless they fix it up and included more kitchen supplies.
