About this house rental

Located on Pinnacle Loop, one of the nicest streets in Tahoe Donner/Truckee, this cabin has sleeping for 6-8 people (ideal for 6 adults and 2 kids), majestic views of the surrounding mountains, is walking distance to fantastic nordic skiing in the winter and mountain biking or hiking in the summer. The Tahoe Donner downhill ski area is 5 minutes away by car and is a fun, uncrowded resort that is perfect for families.

This home has tons of light, with windows galore to look out on the sunrise and sunset views. It's a super efficient solar heated house, which stays wonderfully warm on cold winter days. There's an effective gas stove that heats the entire house for the cloudy days.

It has two bedrooms downstairs, one with ensuite bath, one loft bedroom upstairs overlooking the living room with a separate adjoining twin alcove, a family room where the kids can watch the 65" flat screen smart TV, a third story loft accessible by pull down ladder.

We came with our elderly parents and dog and it was perfect. There’s two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level - including two beautifully remodeled bathrooms. The kitchen is easy to work in with multiple people. The loft bedroom has nice views as well. The TV is massive and it’s located in the loft with a very comfy recliner couch that’s so fun for movies. There’s a new huge 2 car garage. yay! This is actually a huge deal. You can walk into the house easily from it. We didn’t even use the front door once. The kitchen is well stocked including herbs and things you sometimes can’t get in rentals. There’s a kettle and a nice brewed coffee maker and coffee grinder which is perfect since we don’t like pods. There’s a 4 burner gas range and everything you need. The host is really easy to work with and they’re not a property management company so you feel like you’re at your friends cabin. Everything is well stocked including shampoo, conditioner, TP, paper towels, dishwashing things, etc., so you’re only buying food at the market at the bottom of the hill (Safeway). The location is amazing. There’s has lots of activities nearby: cross country skiing in the winter and mountain biking in the summer. We went snowshoeing every day. Close to Sugar Bowl - one of the best low-key resorts. The house itself is perched on top of the hill which is great for views and provided tons of light and warmth throughout the house. We hope to come back often. 5 stars. Highly recommended.

We stayed here for a long winter weekend with our two small children and dog. This is the perfect home base for winter fun with Tahoe Donner just down the road for sledding, tubing, and cross country and downhill skiing and larger ski resorts within easy driving distance. The house has stunning views and is equipped with everything you need. Very comfortable beds, great style, and updated bathrooms are also bonuses. Scot was a wonderful host with great communication and easy check-in and out. We’d love to come back in the summer!

We had a wonderful time! The house was perfect for our family to relax and spend time together. The loft area was very comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked. The high ceilings and design of the place are wonderful. We loved going for walks right in the neighborhood, and it was an easy drive to Sugarbowl for skiing. We hope to come back!

This house is very unique and artistic! We loved the owner's fun style. The house was cozy and in a great location and the check in was easy. The cleaning fee is pretty expensive so we were surprised they wanted us to not only wash our sheets towels and dishes but also put them away and we thought that was excessive given the cleaning fee. The house has some windows and doors that don't open and it was very hot when we were there so it would be good for those to get fixed and if you plan to go when it's hot just know there is no air conditioning. The house advertises to sleep 9 but the upper loft is only accessible with a pull down ladder and only a railing not a wall on two sides so this would not be safe for little kids but it's super cool and we loved the full design. Overall we enjoyed it very much and would stay again!

Beautiful house with a great location. Only issues we found were that the house got really hot when we were sleeping and the "guest" bathroom downstairs didn't have a curtain on the window so you could see into it a little bit from outside up the hill. Otherwise a really great place
