About this house rental

Welcome to Hale Mauka, our "home in the mountains". Our three bedroom, two bath house is truly our second home in Tahoe Donner. We are proud to be able to share it with you throughout the year.

Hale Mauka can comfortably sleep eight guests. A downstairs master suite with a 42in TV is down the hall from the full kitchen. Upstairs, the 'kid's room' contains two sets of bunk beds and a pair of fat boy bean bag stools for lounging. The other upstairs room has a 42in TV and queen bed. A full living room and dining room combine to give lots of room for families to stretch out and relax after a full day enjoying the Tahoe surroundings. There is a wood stove in the living room that can heat the entire home; baseboard heaters and humidifiers are also in each room to further control the temperature.

Don't want to totally unplug while you're away? No worries -- high speed internet is included along with free WiFi for guests. Three LCD Smart TVs (55in in the living room, 42in in two bedrooms) have built-in Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime connections so you can stream videos to your heart's content. The living room TV also includes an HD cable feed so you can watch the major sports games in real time. A Mac Mini is in the loft along with an Airprint-capable printer, so you can surf the web or even get some work done if needed.

Located on Alder Creek Road, it is one of the first thoroughfares in Tahoe Donner to get plowed, providing clear access to your snow sport destinations. The Tahoe Donner Downhill ski area is 5 minutes away, as is the Alder Creek Adventure (Cross Country/Equestrian) Center. An easy jaunt down 89 takes you to Northstar, Squaw and other Tahoe destinations.

Great views of Alder Creek can be seen from the front deck. The rear deck leads to a wonderful backyard play area where kids can go downhill with the provided sleds or just roll around in the snow. You can even play horseshoes in the horseshoe pitch in the front yard.

The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, utensils, and dinnerware. There is also a full size washer and dryer so you can pack lightly.

Up to 6 guests (3 yrs and over) can purchase access to all Tahoe Donner amenities, including snow play, equestrian center, mountain biking, orienteering (geocaching), tennis courts, pools, Trout Creek Recreation Center, the Beach Club Marina, and Tahoe Donner Golf Course. There is a daily access fee for the private amenities, which is paid upon first access to any amenity for that day. Guests under 3 are free. Public amenities like downhill and cross country skiing and all restaurants are open to all visitors.

High thread-count sheets, down comforters and memory foam mattresses on all beds, along with soft towels ensure that you can relax in luxury after a full day of fun.

NOTE: We strongly prefer to rent to family groups. Parties of 6 or more must include children in order for your booking request to be accepted.

Great value. Not fancy, but very friendly and welcoming place. Perfect for a family trip. Clean. Kids loved the games; we did a puzzle. Only issue was an issue getting the PS3 controllers to work, but probably for the best as kids had no excuse to be inside…

We used Hale Mauka as our base residence for the Western States 100, and it worked out perfectly. It was an easy commute to Palisades (Olympic Village) for pre-race events and to race start. Truckee was right down the hill and had everything we needed. The residence was comfortable and clean and exactly what the pictures showed and was described. Had everything needed to serve large meals if so inclined to do so. The locals (bear, deer, racoons, and coyotes) wandered by to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Hale Mauka really made our experience in the Tahoe area so relaxing and carefree.

Our family of six: two grandparents two parents and two young kids could not have found a better place to enjoy our four-day weekend at Tahoe Donner. It was clean, comfortable, and at all the necessities we could’ve asked for with a nice view of the skyline and quick access to Tahoe Donner ski area. We appreciate that there was ample games, play equipment, and easy, check-in checkout processes. Would absolutely stay here again.

This is the second time we've stayed at Ed's property in Tahoe Donner. The home is comfortable and cozy, and Ed is super responsive and helpful as a property owner for any requests we had.

We had a great time and enjoyed the home. A few issues w the description of the home online as it said it had a hot tub but did not. Also said it had multiple humidifiers but only found 1. I let owners know so they could get both things addressed for next renters. Kitchen is adequate in some ways but lacking in other ways Overall a nice place to stay.

Cute little house and is great for a family. Backyard has a great sledding hill for the kids. Bedrooms are well laid out too and the kids loved having the bunkbeds. We’ve already booked the house again for the summer so we can enjoy the yard and area then too! Owners had great communication as well. Always responded within a half hour to any of our questions leading up to the trip, or during the trip. Thanks again!
