About this property

The Perfect Family Vacation Home w/ Hot Tub!

This cabin is perfect for multiple families who want to have a great get-away together. It is not set up for large groups of adults. The two story chalet features four bedrooms and enough beds to sleep up to 10 people. The large deck also has a hot tub to help you relax at the end of your day. The location in Tahoe Donner puts you right in the center of both winter and summer activities, but is also located on a quiet, forested street that provides a relaxing place to stay.

The Cabin is a roomy, charming and well-appointed home located on a flat lot in a beautiful wooded setting. The home welcomes you with comfortable furnishings, tasteful decorations, and all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The Cabin is the perfect place to make memories with your family and friends and take in all the sights and activities that make Tahoe famous.

The downstairs rooms feature a California King in one room and a pillow top Queen bed in the second room. Upstairs is a larger room with a California King bed, and a large bedroom with 2 queens and 2 bunk beds and a TV. It is the perfect kids area. A day bed in loft opens to a king sized bed.

Tahoe Donner is a highly desirable, year-round mountain community located in the historic town of Truckee. The area is easily accessible from Highway 80, and just 35 miles from Reno and 100 miles from Sacramento. You can find excellent casual and fine dining as well as unique specialty shops in old town Truckee, which is just minutes away. Groceries, a hardware store, cafes, etc. are also just minutes away.

Tahoe Donner has one of the best ski resorts for young skiers and people just learning to ski. Within minutes are 10 other ski resorts including Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Sugar Bowl, and Northstar. If cross country skiing is your winter sport, Tahoe Donner has one of California's largest x-country ski parks, and was recently named the third best in the country. Numerous trails for snow shoeing and hills for sledding are located right in Tahoe Donner.

And when the snow melts, break out the golf clubs, mountain bikes, and river rafts. Tahoe Donner has two recreation areas with swimming pools and has a private beach on the East end of Donner Lake. Miles of hiking trails, adventure parks, and miniature golf courses supply endless hours of fun for the whole family.

Some of the other amenities include high-speed wireless, private hot tub, access to Tahoe Donner facilities (for a small fee), parking room for 4 vehicles, and a perfect area for kids to hang out while adults enjoy their time together.

We are a no smoking cabin. If you are a smoker or plan to travel with smokers, this is not the property for you. . We do allow families that are looking to create special memories together. We do not allow pets due to previous experiences that resulted in damage to our property.

Great stay and easy communication
Really enjoyed our stay at this property. A great place for families and younger kids. Lots of space, games and easy to get to the slopes and restaurants. Brian was super responsive and flexible. Very refreshing to have a host that was so easy to work with and helpful!

Fabulous Tahoe Getaway
Brian’s property is just wonderful. Great location in lovely Tahoe Donner, and the cabin is beautifully looked after with a great layout. Three “grown up” bedrooms are really evenly sized (often a problem with big properties) and the large bunk room was a huge bonus with kids in the mix. We were three small families with four kids under the age of 10, and the kids loved their room, playing, building forts, etc. while we could enjoy the roomy living space. Great kitchen and dining area, and the hot tub right there on the deck was just great. Large backyard area for great snow play with the kids (and adults!) Communication with Brian was easy, and he made our stay so welcoming. Possibly the best vacation home experience we’ve had to date! Even check out was easy, as the large washing machines were accessible and made helping out with a few loads of sheets and towels no chore before we left. Thank you, Brian!

Wonderful rental!
We absolutely loved our stay here. It's a beautfiul, clearn, extremely well-kept propertyin a great location in Truckee. My two children (ages 7 and 9) were thrilled with the space too -- my daughter suggested we give the place "105 stars," but unfortunately we were limited to five. We also appreciated the host contacting us beforehand to let us know we could arrive early. All in all, a great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Hicks

Host profile image
We purchased this home in early 2013 so that we could have a place that our children could grow up with and our family could create memories with friends and family to last a lifetime. We live in the Sacramento area and use this home quite often. We are happy to be able to share it with others during the times that we can't make it up.

Why they chose this property

We chose Tahoe Donner because of all the amenities and the proximity to Sacramento. The property has a 'mountain cabin' feel while still offering all of the comforts of a modern home.

What makes this property unique

We wanted a home that we could get away from it all and would allow us to entertain our entire extended family for memorable family get-togethers. Our location in Tahoe Donner is on a very quiet street and yet we are minutes away from skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, golfing, biking, and swimming at both the community pools and at the private beach at Donner Lake.
