About this property

Historic Stone Villa | Donner | Sauna | EV Charger

One of the few granite stone homes in Tahoe, and among the first built off Old Highway 40. A true Sierra original, rebuilt from the ground up, sleeping 12 plus 2 infants. In summer, Donner Lake is your backyard, spend the day swimming off the beaches, paddleboarding and kayaking the shoreline, fishing, or picnicking by the water, then hike and bike the trails right out of Donner Summit, including the Pacific Crest Trail trailhead and the Mt Judah Loop, both minutes from the house. The house comes with three Tahoe Regional Passes, so up to three of your vehicles park free at Donner Memorial and other state parks around the lake, no parking fees, no hassle. In spring and fall, it's a basecamp for climbers and cyclists, with world-class granite at Donner Summit, legendary road and gravel riding, covered bike storage, and gear on hand. In winter, you're minutes from Sugar Bowl, Boreal, and Royal Gorge, and about 30 minutes from Northstar and Palisades. Inside: a fully stocked kitchen, movie/karaoke/game room, remote work friendly with two dedicated workstations and fast WiFi, a home gym (adjustable bench, dumbbells, TRX, yoga mats, and hangboard), a sauna, a wood-burning fireplace, a Level 2 EV charger, and a BBQ grill.

About the host

Hosted by Jin Im

Host profile image
We’re a family that fell in love with this area through climbing, bouldering, hiking, and skiing. This property became our chance to build the mountain retreat we’d always want to book ourselves.

Why they chose this property

Soda Springs puts us minutes from Sugar Bowl, Boreal, and Royal Gorge for skiing, with great biking and Donner Lake close by too. It’s the kind of place where we can spend the day outside and come back to a home-cooked dinner with friends around our large dining table, made easy since the kitchen is stocked with almost every item you could need.

What makes this property unique

Our home is a historic granite home, one of the first built off old Highway 40 and one of the few private stone and granite homes in the Lake Tahoe area. We’ve stocked it to feel like home, because it is our home, anything a guest would expect to find in their own house, and more, is here at Stone Villa.
