About this house rental
This Tahoe Donner vacation home is two stories, 1950 square feet, with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Our home is on a very quiet street within walking distance of the Tahoe Donner Ski Hill parking lot/shuttle pick up and has a large, flat yard surrounded by trees that makes for excellent snow play in the winter and yard play or outdoor relaxing in the summer.
Although not upgraded, the home is very clean, well-maintained with newer furnishings, mountain themed art and antiques; yet it is child safe. Those who cook will enjoy the large, well-equipped kitchen and adjoining dining area that seats eight. The covered deck off the dining room is a great place to enjoy the outdoors during the spring, summer and fall or stay dry during the winter. The living room comes equipped with a curved screen TV, DVD player (and videos) and board games. There is a wood burning stove with an ample firewood supply.
The home sleeps up to seven (5-6 adults comfortably). The large master suite has a king-size bed, comfortable recliner, flat screen television/DVD, jacuzzi bath, and private balcony. The second bedroom has a single/double bunkbed (and views of the ski hill!) The third bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed. There is an attached two-car garage with kitchen access and a mudroom at the front entrance. Pets are NOT allowed, No Smoking please.
During the winter you are only a short drive from Tahoe Donner's well-regarded cross county skiing. North Lake Tahoe ski resorts (incl Northstar and Palisades) are all within a 20-minute drive.
In the summer enjoy hiking, mountain biking and access to Tahoe Donner member facilities including the TD golf course, Tennis Center, Equestrian Center, Donner Lake private beach and marina, and Trout Creek Recreation Center and pools. See the Tahoe Donner website for more information on Tahoe Donner activities, amenities, and non-accompanied guest access fees.
Tahoe Donner is about 10 minutes from the mountain town of Truckee, which offers all major conveniences plus great restaurants and shops.
***Please note the damage deposit option to VRBO's insurance is $500 (not the $2000 which is automatically calculated in the quote if insurance is refused). We will manually update the quote if you wish to book with this option.
This home is registered with the Town of Truckee for short-term rental use and guests must adhere to Town of Truckee and Tahoe Donner covenants.

We had a great stay with another family! The 2 bedrooms (king and queen) for adults and the big kid room (twin/double bunk and double futon) were perfect for our two families and for the kids to be able to hang out together too.
We definitely made use of the kitchen, as we cooked every meal at home to allow more play time for the kiddos. The BIG dining table comfortably seated 8, but of the course the kids preferred to eat at the coffee table in front of the TV (and loved the two little rocking chairs!).
The kiddos loved having a backyard full of snow to play in. We brought our own snow toys, but the sleds and toys available in the garage are a nice touch. There were also plenty of board games and DVDs available too.
The wood stove is nice to keep the home warm (with plenty of wood in the garage) though the master bedroom was pretty chilly at night - leaving the door open during the day helped though! And there are plenty of blankets around to keep you warm and cozy!
We kept commenting that we wish we had more time to stay at least one more day to really enjoy ourselves properly! The 2 nights just wasn’t enough! Thank you!

This is the perfect house if you're planning to ski at tahoe donner, it is just one street over. The property is large and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen, plenty of linens and towels, and a Samsung TV with Amazon fire stick. Our kids had a great time. Would love to stay again!

Loved our comfy stay at Kathie and Mark’s property. We have four kids 10 and younger and there were toys, DVDs, sleds, and ample space for all. We skied at Tahoe Donner and the location of the house couldn’t be better. Clear communication. The kitchen was more well-appointed than our own home :). Would definitely love to stay again!

This was our second stay at this house and once again it exceeded expectations. The house is equipped with everything you need for a fun family weekend in the snow. The living spaces are comfortable and cozy, the kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and the bedrooms all have plenty of space and comfy beds. The location couldn’t be better with a big backyard area for the kids to play in and just minutes from the ski area. We look forward to making this an annual family getaway.

We had such a great stay at Mark and Kathie's house. They had such great communication letting us know when their plowing service would be by. Our second day at the house we had 39 inches of snow, but we could still easily walk to the ski hill then warm up by the cozy fireplace. The next day the driveway and streets were cleared in time to be the first to hit the slopes! Hosts are extremely communicative and flexible. House is wonderful and has everything you need!

House, hosts, location, vibe, amenities, space… all just perfect. Had an incredible time with family playing in the snow, being cozy in the house, and enjoying the beautiful area. We can’t wait to stay here again.

House is nicely located on a very quiet flat street/lot just off Northwoods.
House is orderly and kitchen is well stocked with spices and a small grille. Things are well maintained and clean, but finishes are definitely on the older side, especially in the kitchen. Well furnished but the living room seating and master bed are not very comfortable.
Manager was very responsive and helpful when a shower door broke; he came to replace with a shower curtain the next day and was kind enough to bring a couple of bottles of nice wine.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay here, especially given that we had to book this place on short notice after we found our first rental had a mice infestation.

Enjoyed the porch off dining room. Although it was small, it was positioned very well to view the trees and “open space” with minimal view of houses next door. It usually had a comfortable breeze with pleasant tinkle of wind chimes.

Such an amazing location in truckee that is set back into the woods and so close to donner. Was impressed at how clean the home was and I think the pictures don’t do it justice of how great the home is. Definitely would stay again.

House is large, really well equipped and the location was great. First time skiing with 2 small kids and Donner is just perfect for beginners.

We had a fantastic stay at this house. Communication with the owners was excellent. Plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Very close to the Tahoe Donner downhill ski center which “is the best place to begin” (and affordable). Tried snowshoeing for the first time at the cross country center too. Appreciated the snow toys available in the garage. Wood burning stove was fantastic for keeping the house warm. Hope to come back again!

The broadband connection was out for the duration of our stay and unfortunately Verizon service there is only good for phone calls and texting it would have been nice to have been offered some compensation but it wasn’t the owners fault. Otherwise it was very clean and well equipped with everything you could ask for! Thank you 😊

We loved the large well equipped kitchen with the attached covered deck which was nice on those hot summer days. Close to bike trails and the TD ski hill. The hammock was a great touch to relax after mountain biking, hiking, and some tennis. We did find the downstairs television a challenge, but overall would recommend this as a nice place to stay.

My family and I loved our stay. The house is clean and comfortable and had plenty of space for us to hang our snow clothes and boots in the mudroom entry, play games and eat at the dining table, and room to move around. The backyard area was spacious enough to okay in the snow for a bit. This house is in a great location, just about 10 minutes away from stores and restaurants. It felt like being at home. We’ll definitely be back to experience the warmer weather too!
