About this house rental

Muhlebach Family Retreat is a luxurious and beautifully renovated family retreat; an amazing place to spend the summer with family and friends. The renovated 3800 sqft, 5 bedroom 5 bath, the perfect getaway for families and retreats. The gourmet kitchen and amazing great room can seat all of your guests. At the end of your day's adventure, you can soak in the hot tub among the stars or play pool with the crowd.

The main level is the great room offering striking features such as the 22 foot tall hand-picked river stone fireplace, and a 400 year old reclaimed redwood bar that seats 7. The kitchen offers a new beautiful Viking range top with a built-in griddle, and new Jenn-Air speed cook ovens. The cook's kitchen is fully stocked including dinnerware for 18. A quick stroll to the deck takes you to the 7 person hot tub for a relaxing night under the stars.

Walk down a flight of stairs and you have 4 spacious bedrooms with 500+ thread count Supima sheets. The master suite has a king bed, stone fireplace, a 2 person Jacuzzi tub and a deck heading out to the back. The guest suite is a perfect king room with slate and granite bathroom. The other 2 rooms share a bath with dual sinks. The one room has a queen bed and lounge chair. The 4th room has a queen bed and a twin over full bunk bed with a deck and backyard access.

Below the bedrooms, is 900 square feet of relaxation space and kids retreat. The family room has a pool table and 60' screen TV. The other room is a bunk room for 6 with an en-suite bath with dual sinks and tub over shower. Kids love their own cubbies in each bunk equipped with power and USB outlets. Walk out of the family room into the spacious wooded retreat where trees and green space abound.

The house has pretty great internet. There is a modern router with 400mbs internet connection. The WiFi coverage is good and we have modern streaming on all TV's.

A close walk (10 minutes) is the Tahoe Donner Rec Center and Lodge with two pools, fitness center, restaurant/pub and golf course. You will have guest access to all Tahoe Donner amenities including golf, tennis, beach club at Donner Lake, 3 pools and fitness center among others. This requires a daily fee set by the club. https://www.tahoedonner.com/amenities/amenities/fitness/rates/

During the summertime and holidays, we favor week long rentals that are Friday to Friday or Sunday to Sunday. Our policy is a maximum of 8 adults. Extra guests may be possible for an extra fee and contacting us first.

VRBO does not have options for complex booking rules. Here are our house booking rules. We do not allow Saturday check-in or check-out. Midweek bookings require a Friday and Saturday night stay except in the case of 4 days Monday - Thursday.

Winter Weather and Summer Smoke. Both of these things can happen in Tahoe. We are an owner renter here. If you are booking our property we expect you to stay there and not hound us for a refund because traveling became difficult. If you are worried about winter weather (It can easily snow 100" inches in a few days) or summer smoke issues buy travel insurance.

We liked the house & location, but needs some maintenance and minor repairs (patio door handle , shower door handle; hot tub maintenance, smoke detectors malfunctioning). The ad for the house said we had full access to the rec center pool & fitness, but I don’t recall it mentioning a $20. Fee per person>6. The host was quickly responsive to texts. Again we loved the location and area, just had some issues with the house.

We had a wonderful stay. There was plenty of room for our 4 families, which surprised us because we had never tried to find a single house for that many people before. But the setup works great: the common areas upstairs afforded plenty of room for all of us to hang out together, although it was rarely tested as the bottom floor had all sorts of space and diversions for the kids, right next to their own bunk room and bathroom. The middle floors were perfect for us four couples and a couple of the littler kids to sleep closer to their parents. The yard was perfect for some serious sledding runs and snowball fights, and the hottub provided well-needed rest after skiing/snowboarding. Everything worked well and was in great condition, and the love and care of Matt and his family was evident throughout. Matt was great with communication and obviously a really nice person. We're all looking forward to booking a trip here again next winter!

Home was plenty big enough, lots of space for adults and children. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner. I would definitely stay here again.

The property is beautiful, open and a comfortable space. The host was very responsive and helpful. We BBQ'ed, went on walks and watched the stars from the top deck. My family thoroughly enjoyed their stay and we hope to come back next year. It is one of the only places I have found that was able to accommodate my large family. Spent a day at Donner Lake and the next day on the Truckee River. All very close and easy to get to. Thank you, Matt!

We really enjoyed our stay. A beautiful cabin, clean, stocked well and very easy to communicate the Matt. We would definitely rent this place again. It’s a beautiful area and close to the lake, golf and other activities we enjoyed.

House was perfect for our family of 8 kids, 8 adults. Plenty of space. Game room downstairs was great for kids. My one son has allergies to dust, cats and dogs and he had no issues in this house where we have had issues in other houses we’ve rented. One thing to keep in mind is to crush cans and minimize trash throughout the week as the trash can was full upon arrival (assuming from previous renters) so we had to be careful to not have more trash than the beatbox could hold. Kitchen was well equipped. We cooked several meals for large groups and there was enough space for multiple people to be working at the same time. Lots of games available which were fun. Hot tub was clean and nice during chilly evenings and mornings. Would definitely return to this home and recommend to others.
