Relaxing spacious summer family home- 3 master bedrooms!
Welcome to our beautiful home! While surrounded by the beauty and serenity of the Lake Tahoe area, you will have all the amenities, conveniences and connectivity you enjoy at home. The open floor plan great room features a fully equipped chef's kitchen including a Nespresso VertuoLine (we love to cook and are serious about our morning coffee!), a large island with 4 bar stools, a dining table that seats 8, a game table, a gas starter wood fireplace and a TV with all the aps (apple TV, Netflix, Hulu etc) . A custom built artisan 10' shuffleboard table has also been installed for fun indoor activities on those rainy/snowy days. The large deck off the great room has a gas barbecue (direct from the house so never runs out!) as well as patio furniture in the summer. High speed WifFi throughout the house makes remote work a breeze (though as with all mountain living, can be subject to power outages) As we have 2 boys of our own the house is very kid friendly.
Our home is located within a short walk the Donner Downhill ski area (0.2miles away with a BRAND NEW LODGE for 2026!) and trails are ½ mile away and in easy walking distance for snowshoeing, hiking and mountain biking. There is an attached 3 car garage and ample driveway parking for additional cars (4) . A mile away are the Trout Creek Recreation Center, Golf Course and driving range/sledding hill.
The Trout Creek Recreation Center offers hot tubs (three of them!), a large swimming pool (summer), a separate lap pool (heated in winter), saunas, fitness center, classes and health spa. Tahoe Donner also has an outstanding tennis center, cross country/equestrian/mountain biking center and a small downhill ski area. There is a private beach for swimming and boating at Donner Lake Marina 5 miles away.

Major ski areas within 30 minutes include Squaw Valley, Northstar, Sugar Bowl and Alpine Meadows. The town of Truckee has unique shops, pubs and dining. Tahoe Donner has its own excellent restaurant at the Golf Course Lodge.
This is our second home that we take great pride in as we also use it monthly to escape the bustle of everyday life. We strive to make this your home away from home as well! Personal touches allow more flexibility and personalized care that some of the professionally managed rentals cannot provide. We hope your family enjoys the home as much as we do!
This is a mountain home and with that comes the excitement of unpredictable weather, (short) power outages, and sometimes highway and road closure. The home is also at 6800ft and receives much more snow than in Truckee proper. AWD is a must for any home access in this area of Tahoe Donner. Driveway is plowed once daily but it is not uncommon for the town of Truckee to plow higher elevation roads last. There will be no refunds due to weather and factors out of our control. We encourage trip insurance or booking an extra night if you want extra buffer around your trip.
Bullfrog hydrotherapy hot tub! Enjoy a night with family and friends exchanging stories about your day while getting those achy muscles recovered with individualized hydrotherapy jets. This spa comes equipped with 6 customized JetPaks to elevate the hyrotherapeutic experience- this really is a unique relaxing hot tub experience. (Do note that Tahoe Donner strictly enforces the quiet hours of 10pm-7am)
*** pet rental policy ** We do allow 1 dog per reservation with pre approval only, for an additional 200 pet fee. While we love dogs, (our dog travels everywhere with us too!) and we have been happy to allow them to be included in family vacations in the past, the unfortunate abuse of this rule with destructive dogs has forced us to be more selective.
*Town of Truckee RCN - 858, STR certificate number - STR21-00050 ** The Town of Truckee short term rental tax of 13.25% is included in your final reservation cost

Great house for our multiple family trip. Plenty of space for everyone. The hot tub was nice after a day in the snow. We enjoyed cooking together in the kitchen. The short drive to Tahoe donner was a plus!
The house was gorgeous and really spacious. We loved bringing our dog up to the mountains for the first time ever. The hot tub was a huge plus. The kitchen was stocked, and the TV was great for watching NFL playoff games. We will definitely be back
We loved our stay and Solene was a great host. The house was perfect for two families with kids. The location was perfect with easy access to Tahoe Donner. We had a great time and would love to come back in the summer for more Tahoe Donner fun!
We would like to thank you for the owners it was an amazing experience. Everything was in the house and more! Very comfortable and convenient for our family. Definitely would come back here for vacation

Thanks Yvone- we value space for everyone to spread out too. We look forward to welcoming you back!
This was our second stay at Solene's house and just like the first one, we had a great experience. The location is great as it is close to a few nice golf courses along with many bars/restaurants in Truckee. Our group had a great time and would definitely come back again.

Thanks so much for you kind words! We are very glad you enjoyed our home & look forward to welcoming you back!
We spent a week at the end of the summer here. Loved the location which was close to trails, hiking, and the Alder Creek adventure center. Big spacious home that was very well furnished and comfortable.

This house is a little worn, but everything worked and the owners made sure that we had all we needed. We had hoped to ski, but rain spoiled the snow. The house, however, was large enough with enough fun stuff to keep everyone entertained.
This was our first visit to Lake Tahoe and our family had a wonderful time staying here. There was plenty of space and we didn’t have any trouble finding anything needed. We really enjoyed the hot tub and shuffle board and the teens had fun playing video games. We felt comfortable and at home.
The house is very well located and roomy enough for a group. Overall we enjoyed our stay but some people had trouble sleeping in 2 of the rooms because they were so warm and fans were not provided. The kids had a lot of fun with the shuffleboard and the house is well stocked.

About the host
Hosted by Solene Hadd
We are an active family of 4 from San Jose with a passion for the outdoors! As the fondest childhood memories revolved around family time in Tahoe we decided after spending a few years renting other people's cabins to bite the bullet and buy our own in order to continue to create family memories with our two boys! We have truly made this into our second home and have great pride in ownership and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
This house has plenty of room for 2 families with kids or large group- it is 1.5 mile from the Trout Creek Recreation center and 1 mile from the Alder Creek Adventure center. Hiking/mountain biking trails are only 0.5mile from the house and its easy to go for a nice trail run without having to get in the car! The house in the winter also gets plenty of snow and has a perfect backyard/green belt for snowball fights and snowmen building contests!
