About this house rental
Ten Secluded Acres
Private | Unique | Upscale | Wild
The Truckee Chalet is the quintessential Sierra mountain home. If you are looking for privacy, tranquility, and a place to unwind, this is the property that you have been looking for.
PLEASE NOTE: All of the bathrooms in the home are completely renovated; the Matterport video walkthrough shows the old bathrooms-we've also made many upgrades to the home since that video was taken.
Rustic and absolutely one of a kind. You have never rented a property like this before.
Location:
The Truckee Chalet is just a few minutes from downtown Truckee where you can enjoy high-quality restaurants, galleries, and shops. The property is in the middle of the forest so plan on seeing a wide variety of wildlife: Bears | Bobcats | Deer | Coyotes | Raccoons | Small Creatures | Birds!
Activities:
Enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and mountain biking on the property!
The Chalet is a few miles from one of the Donner Party camps, lakes, and virtually any sort of outdoor activity that you can imagine.
Pets:
Bring your dogs; they will love running in the totally fenced-in corral. They will enjoy the comfy dog beds, blankets, and tasty treats. We even have crates available for you.
Pet Fee: $70 per dog, per stay.
We require dogs to be crated if you leave them alone when you are out.
Chefs:
Enjoy a well-equipped kitchen that is stocked with high-quality cookware, appliances, and tableware. You will find a fondue pot, Raclette machine, KitchenAid mixer, and much more. On the deck, there is a large, new propane grill. If you book at just the right time of year, you will find Morel mushrooms growing on the property!
Chalet:
Constructed with reclaimed railroad timbers, the residence is just over 3,000 sq. ft. and has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a large covered deck with stunning views of Mt. Rose. Children, and adults, will enjoy seeing the Pacific Railway boxcar that sits on the property. Bring your large RV; there is plenty of parking available, no hookups.
Build a fire in the massive granite fireplace; the ambiance of the Chalet in the evening, with a roaring fire going, can’t be described in words. Note that live fires are banned during the fire season.
*Romantic Getaway? Yes.
*Great place to get engaged? Yes.
*Fun property that all adults, kids, and dogs love? Yes.
*Smores? Yes.
Snow:
The road to the Chalet is 3/10 of a mile long and winds through the forest. If snow is in the forecast during your stay, you MUST have a 4WD & snow chains. We are NOT exaggerating; the road is steep, windy, and slippery when covered with snow. You will NOT make it up or down the road unless you have chains on. Please note that no refunds are provided if you do not follow this rule.
Plan on getting snowed in!
The snow plow company plows the road once per day when there are 4 or more inches of snow.
During the winter months, there is nothing better than watching the snow fall from the warmth and coziness of the Chalet. Getting snowed in is part of the fun.
NO SKI LEASES.
Note: Due to the secluded location of the house, the increased break-ins into rental properties, and for your safety, we have operating RING cameras on site. One overlooking the front of the driveway, one facing the back towards the train car, one facing into the forest towards Mount Rose, one facing into the forest/dog corral, and a smart doorbell at the front door.

First of all, we started running a VRBO in colorado about a year ago and when we travel usually stay at Vrbo as opposed to hotels. Checkin and check out and communication with the owners was wonderful.
This was a great find and perfect for what we were looking for. I was a bit worried when we found the location off of the highway it would be loud - but it absolutely wasn’t. Close to downtown truckee when we did runs out for food and fun.
Beds were super comfortable, sheets and towels great and the bathrooms are beautiful.
What made it a great stay was all of the extras. The game room, board games, pool table, hot tub, bocce court, badminton and the outdoor seating is a lot of fun for the family and the grounds are beautiful.
Thanks for the great stay!

Another great stay! This has become our favorite vacation rental and our go to spot in the Truckee area. One of a kind spot that quickly puts you into vacation mode. Plenty of space to spread out, but intimate and cozy. Private and secluded, plenty of great snow fun right outside, no need to drive the kids to a snow park.
Can't wait to go back.

This property was wonderful. The attention to detail was a 10/10. It felt like a home that was lived in rather than a rental, because of the quality of furnishings and thoughtfulness. The beds and bedding were really comfy.
The property itself is gorgeous and private. We loved not being able to see or hear neighbors. The outdoor living space was also lovely. It was too hot to use the outdoor fireplaces, but next time! We had a great time with the pool table and video games inside. We didn't get to the bocce or horseshoes or volleyball.
We will be back :)

We had a wonderful time at this gorgeous property. The outside was breathtaking at night with the lighted trees and the inside was immaculate and spacious. My elderly father had no issue getting around, and our two teenagers had a blast in the hang out room on the ground level. We would definitely recommend to large parties and those who are looking for a cabin in the woods!

As the above title describes we were at the Chalet during a snowy long weekend. It is a pristine property and beautiful home. We hiked, show shoed, soaked in the hot tub and spent many hours around the fireplace.
The home is well stocked and very comfortable.
We brought our dog and there were plenty of blankets and toys for her to enjoy.
The hosts presented us with a wine and treats for both the people and our dog.
I would love to stay in the Chalet during the summer as I expect the hiking in that area would be beautiful.

MAGICAL AND CALMING
Such a well furnished home, so many cute touches to the interior and exterior. Nice surprises await. Will definitely
stay here again and again. The only complaint is the main floor bedroom pillows need replacing.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Sugar Pine Estate. The home was beautiful, well-appointed/decorated, clean, and comfortable. We loved the big fireplace, woodsy setting, hot tub, game room, recently remodeled master bath, and the fact that it's dog-friendly with a huge fenced yard. Thanks for a great stay! We'll be back!

Winter Wonderland
This was our second stay at the cabin and it was as good if not better than the first. It has the perfect vibes for a mountain getaway and all the amenities you could ask for. The steam shower in the primary bedroom is just what you need after a hard day of playing in the snow. We look forward to our next stay.

Gorgeous property in excellent location
Our family— grandmother, two adult daughters and their partners, and two grandchildren (8 and 11)—stayed at this beautiful home over Thanksgiving. The property is quite convenient to Truckee and the Tahoe basin but also feels removed in a lovely way, off a long driveway, with beautiful views and surrounding woods. The kitchen was the best equipped I’ve encountered in many home-away stays. The owner was friendly and responsive to questions. I can’t say enough good things about the experience,

An excellent return booking!
Our family found this amazing property last year and enjoyed 3 weeks of beauty and comfort again this year. The house is perfectly appointed, and there are so many thoughtful assets; multiple high end air purifiers, a perfectly maintained jacuzzi spa, plenty of towels and linens, a pantry that is beautifully stocked, great game room fixtures, and a kitchen with excellent appliances and tools. The furniture is comfortable and also fresh and thoughtful. While it is not in downtown Truckee, it is just a few minutes away from a new Raley's One grocery, and a short drive to town. This is a place where you feel at home and are happy to settle in. There are trails around the property and it is private and quiet. The owner/property manager has always been available for questions and extremely helpful. We would highly recommend staying here. It is an exceptional and unique property.

We absolutely LOVED staying at this incredible property! My family, including two teen daughters and a new puppy, spent a memorable and relaxing week at this special home. It’s conveniently located near Truckee, but feels like a wonderfully private getaway in the woods! It’s extremely well-maintained, very clean, thoughtfully stocked with everything you need, and the hosts kindly checked in on us during our stay to make sure we were comfortable. We all loved hanging out on the deck and lower patio taking in the beautiful scenery and our puppy loved running around in the corral connected to the house. We highly recommend this property and hope to return to it in the winter season!
Thanks so much for everything! The Sullivan Family

Wonderful Relaxing Weekend
What a great three nights. Everything was so clean. We had plenty of firewood. The playroom was well stocked with things for the kids to do. We played a pool tournament. The beds were comfortable and clean. I cannot stress enough how important it was for a neat and tidy place to visit. This home was A+ on this topic. I had fun cooking in the kitchen as well. Our German Shepherd had a blast too. Look forward to renting again. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Tahoe Chateau
We booked this house for our first overnight trip to Tahoe and also our first time taking our kids skiing. We invited my sister and her family as well. We travel a lot, 100+ days per year in hotels & houses and can say this house was ideal. The attention to detail was extremely high. The house is a perfect mixture of cozy mountain house, that's clean and upgraded. Katharina was super communicative throughout the entire process and went to extra lengths to make sure our needs were met. The fireplace at the house is incredible and plenty of firewood was provided, which was a huge perk. Clean sheets and towels, a well equipped kitchen and a great outdoor jacuzzi were all bonuses. We'll definitely be returning again soon. Thanks - JGR

Amazing house, gorgeous property!
We recently stayed at this rental as a getaway to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday, staying for several days just before the holidays. We completely fell in love with this house, adults and kids alike. The house itself is in great condition and so charming, with so many nice touches. It was clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated for the holidays. We spent every afternoon exploring the property, building snowmen and having snowball fights - as well as playing on a mini sled run in front of the house. We had such a wonderful vacation at this house - we can't wait to come back!

This property is lovely. Perfectly stocked with essentials plus much more. Cozy, charming great room with unique lodge-like feel. Grounds and view (mountain range in the distance) are beautiful. Just minutes to downtown Truckee but feels very private and remote. Excellent hosts with great communication and instructions. Oh - and the house and grounds are super dog friendly.
