About this property

Luxury View Home - Hot Tub-Fire Pit-perfect for 2 Couples or 1 family

Over-View
Sierra Rock Hus has some of the most amazing views in the greater Lake Tahoe Area. The house sits on a ridge at 7000 ft with a 180-degree view overlooking Donner Lake and the Sierra Crest.

Amenities
SRH is a rustic but modern chalet with a multi-level great room supported by old growth beams salvaged from Terminal Pier Long Beach and redwood siding sourced from an abandoned train snowshed. The new kitchen keeps with the theme by using railroad spikes for hardware, but no matter how rustic certain elements might be, SRH has all the latest modern amenities:

• 65" 4K TV in great room with Netflix, Prime Video and Cable (also in bedrooms).
• Sonos sound system with play-bar, sub woofer and surround sound speakers.
• 48" Professional Dual Fuel Range with 6 Burners, Griddle, Double Ovens, Custom Hood, Microwave Drawer, Stainless-steel Dishwasher and built in frig.

Layout
• Great Room – two story room with open kitchen and multiple sitting areas with views over Donner Lake and the Sierra Crest. The great room allows everyone to be together while still having the space to do their own thing.
• Sunken Fire lounge -within the great room is a huge granite boulder “The Rock” that the house was built around. A cavity was blasted into the kitchen side of the rock for a custom built in gas fireplace. Built around the fireplace is a sunken lounge area with reading lights and some comfy lounge seating.
• Kitchen/Dining -the new kitchen provides all the modern amenities you would expect from a luxury home. As the kitchen is a natural place to congregate there is a breakfast nook and table as well as island counter seating. Also, just a short flight of stairs up from the kitchen is the wet bar and dining room with a custom dining table for built from single piece of a 3.5” think American Black Walnut.
• Entry/Wash/Powder room- coming in from the new covered entryway or the large two car garage you are welcomed with heated stone floors and a metal tractor wheel chandelier.
• Bedrooms:
 Master - Live edge walnut California King Bed with 50” flat screen TV.
 Second - Custom Walnut Queen been and 30” 4K TV.
 Murphy - tucked behind the rock is a custom full-sized murphy bed
• Bathrooms:
 Two full baths with rustic slate stonework and modern fixtures, one with glassed in shower the other with shower over tub design.
 The Powder room near the entry has custom rock basin with unique hardware and is next to the laundry room with stacked GE washer and dryer and the Gear-Dryer to keep your boots and gloves toasty in winter time.

Pretty magical
The views from this home are breathtaking. Clean & modern, yet super cozy. Thoughtful amenities and great host communication. It provided us with the feeling of being secluded in a winter wonderland, but in reality we were just a few minutes drive from town and conveniences. Would highly recommend.

Sierra Rock Hus!
Sierra Rock Hus is a beautiful home with excellent amenities. Close to Tahoe Donner activity centers, yet quiet and peaceful. And the view of the Sierra's is breathtaking. The owner was very helpful with my questions and easy to contact. Overall, a special place to stay & relax.

About the host

Hosted by Urban Koagedal

Host profile image
A Swedish American who enjoys being in the mountains any time of year. This part of the world allows me to pursue my outdoor passions such a downhill skiing, hiking, mountain biking, golfing and various water sports on Donner Lake. My daughters learned to ski on the local hill and they continue to enjoy the mountain lifestyle to this day.

Why they chose this property

We used this home as a family gathering place mostly on weekends over the last 20 years. The views and unique structure is what attracted us to this property. Over the years I have imagined what I would do to the home should I have the time and inclination. After a year long remodel I am proud of how it turned out and hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Access to Tahoe Donner amenities, proximity to Ski Resorts and golf courses, hiking/biking trails, and Lake Tahoe and Donner Lake water sports. All with a beautifully renovated home with all top of the line finishes, appliances and technology. Hot Tub and outdoor fire pit with a views you will remember for a long time. Come stay at Sierra Rock Hus soon.
