About this house rental

The Log House is a gorgeous privately owned 5,250 sq. ft. log home in Truckee, CA constructed in 2005. The house is located in the Tahoe Donner Association at one of the highest home sites available ... 7,250 ft. near the Glacier Point trail portal within walking distance from the Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Area. The house has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, plus a loft with a very comfortable hide-a-bed which can be easily used as a 5th bedroom. A multi-room sound system enables music to be streamed throughout the house and a new theater system with 85" Sony Smart TV will keep you entertained. A 3-car garage keeps your cars safe from our incredible winter snow storms!

The Log House itself is loaded with amenities and must be seen to be believed. The Great Room has 25 ft. floor-to-ceiling windows and gas fireplace to compliment the immaculate views. The kitchen is fully loaded with stainless steel appliances -- refrigerator, 48 inch range with 2 ovens, built-in microwave, dishwasher and coffee/cappuccino machine. The bar & rec room area has its own refrigerator and dishwasher, another massive fireplace, wine cellar, steam shower, and dry sauna in addition to a highly functional work out area with Olympic weights and a stair master. The top rear deck has beautiful stainless steel barbeque, fire pit, two propane heaters, ample seating and a specially designed area for the 10-person jacuzzi that is sitting over 30 ft. above the ground and perfect for enjoying the massive views or the night stars.

The sleeping arrangements are as follows:
* Master Bedroom (king)
* Guest Bedroom I (king)
* Guest Bedroom II (queen)
* Guest Bedroom III (king)
* Loft (couch / hide-a-bed - unusually comfortable)

The Master Bedroom has its own gas fireplace and opens up to the top deck only footsteps from the jacuzzi. Both guest bedrooms open up onto the lower deck area so that all guests enjoy the same massive views from the comfort of their sleeping quarters.

This home is not only defined by the massive 24 inch plus logs but the incredible 180 degree views of Mt. Rose, the Truckee Meadow, Northstar Ski resort, the Pacific Crest, and Donner Pass from its two rear deck areas.

Guests of The Log House enjoy all the member benefits of the Tahoe Donner Association, including the Downhill Ski Area, Cross Country Center, Equestrian Center, Campground, 18-hole Golf Course, Recreation Center, Clubhouse and Beach Club Marina via two Transferable Guest Cards (good for 8 people).

Lake Tahoe is only 20 miles away from the property and is internationally known for offering visitors a bonanza of recreation, restaurants, and attractions. With so much to do you may want to visit the Official Lake Tahoe Visitors Bureau websites for the information you need to plan your vacation to the Lake Tahoe / Truckee area. Between the property and Lake Tahoe you have multiple world-class ski resorts including Palisades, Alpine Meadows and Northstar. Locally, within 10 miles you have multiple smaller lakes accessible for boating, fishing, and water sports including Lake Donner, Boca Lake, and Stampede Lake. Outdoor recreation activities in this area are endless ... so come enjoy!

This is snow country so make sure you plan for you 4-wheel drive vehicle if coming up in the winter season. The severity of weather from the Town of Truckee up to the house can change radically in the winter ... so it is very important to be prepared!

This is no ordinary vacation rental ... the logs, the views, and the amenities of this area must be experienced in order to be fully appreciated. So come join us for a vacation in the mountains you'll never forget!!

Outstanding property but a bit unfinished. For the price I felt several details were ignored or forgotten, amazing deck…no furniture….bbq-that was filthy and partially did not work, no access to laundry but asked to strip beds and place in laundry, no main entrance access, must enter through garage. Hot tub in excellent condition-very sanitary. No passes to amenities, but owner responded with arrangements that took time and effort to coordinate. Lake access and equine center for hiking were both amazing!

This cabin is spectacular. Not only are the views outstanding but you will find yourself marveling at the cabins construction with it's gaint logs inside and out. The inside layout is perfect for a family with teenagers. The owner is very responsive, accommodating and welcoming. I highly recommend this cabin and will plan to come back.

The Log House is a wonderful rental with amazing amenities. The large great-room windows provided stellar views of the mountains and winter snowfall. Our large friend group fit very comfortably, and our 5 teenage boys loved the home gym, sauna, steam shower & outdoor spa. In fact, this is the first rental our travel group has stayed at where we never left the property all weekend. We were very impressed with our host Rod. He was so friendly, helpful and very accessible, unlike some other VRBO hosts we have dealt with, he certainly is the best host we have encountered and we would book any properties that he manages. He took care of all of our needs and answered the phone every time when we called with questions. The property has a very user-friendly instruction manual that explains all the amenities. We are already planning to re-book the property in the summer. Thank you Rod!

We had a great experience! Big, spacious house. The entry through the garage is a bit awkward for some folks that have a harder time with stairs but otherwise it was all great.

We loved our stay and would definitely recommend. The cabin is beautifully built, has breathtaking views, comfortable beds, and plenty of space for our family of seven. We enjoyed many sunsets in the hot tub overlooking the snowy mountains and were able to walk from the house to nearby snowshoeing. The one thing to note is there are a good amount of stairs so all guests should be able bodied. Would love to come back!

A wonderful view from nearly every room in the house truly never got old. The great room was everyone’s favorite- comfortable and spacious but cozy in front of the fireplace- something for everyone!
