Come enjoy a beautiful and spacious 4000 square foot, seven bedroom, three bath home in the beautiful community of Tahoe Donner along with all the activities the Truckee area is famous for. If you don't know about Tahoe Donner, its the largest homeowners association in the United States with a $30 million dollar annual budget and owns its own downhill ski area, a world class cross country ski area, a golf course and driving range, a marina and beach on Donner Lake, as well as clubhouses, pools, hot tubs, workout rooms, exercise equipment, two restaurants, and a deli/food store, all of which is accessible to guests.

Our home is located on a level lot with plenty of sun and has a large garage and 10 car driveway. Enjoy the great room, filled with huge windows and natural light, vaulted pine ceilings and a river rock natural gas fireplace. Relax in the large living area and enjoy the giant 86 inch TV with every channel imaginable including YouTubeTV (ABC/CBS/NBC/ESPN/CNN/most cable channels), Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and Starz. There are five additional 55" TV's throughout the house. All have the same streaming TV packages. The house has a 400 mbps Internet connection and mesh WiFi, enough to stream multiple channels of Netflix and anything else you can think of simultaneously. Unlimited local and US long distance calling is provided via a VoIP phone.

This is a smart home, and its equipped with Amazon's Echo (Alexa) in the Great Room and Dots in all of the bedrooms. If you say "Alexa, whats the weather outside", she will answer you. You can request all kinds of music from it - just ask her. Rather than figuring out the alarm, just say "Alexa, set an alarm for 8:15am". I can turn the outdoor lights on and off with home automation, as well as turn on the heat before you arrive so everything is nice and toasty when you get there!

The house is protected by a whole house generator that automatically kicks on if the power goes out. Its fueled with Natural Gas so it never runs out. Don't worry about being stranded in a blizzard or other epic event - you will be warm and cozy no matter what.

The large open kitchen has granite countertops, a giant island with bar seating for four+, and all the cooking accessories that you will need including: giant microwave, four slice toaster (fits bagels), infrared toaster oven, KitchenAid mixing stand, rice cooker, Keurig single cup coffee maker, Mr. Coffee 12 cup, and a separate hot water maker. The gas cooktop has a two burner griddle that makes the best pancakes, french toast, and grilled cheese sandwiches. We now have two full size stainless steel refrigerators in the kitchen. The first is quite large, has side-by-side doors with an easy in/out door embedded inside the door, and an external ice and water dispenser. The second refrigerator is meant for overflow, drinks, large trays, and doubles our fridge capacity. We recently added a bulk ice maker for filling coolers. There is a brand new super quiet Bosch dishwasher. For the sous chef in you, there is a second sink in the island with a disposal - very convenient for chopping everything up. A large dining table seats ten comfortably, 4+ can fit at the bar, and 4 more at the pub table. There is also a 6' folding table and chairs that can be brought out for another 6-8 dining seats, depending on how you want to lay things out.

Out the sliding glass doors you'll find an expansive back deck. There is a natural gas fire pit for keeping warm and making smores under the starlit sky, as well as a Weber natural gas grill for steaks and burgers. There is an enormous 14' long outdoor "King Arthur" dining table made from recycled redwood that seats 16+ people comfortably. Below the deck is a brand new extra large luxury hot tub where eight people can relax and soak together while recounting the days exploits.

We have lots of big summer toys available - 2 kayaks, 3 standup paddle boards, roof mount straps and foam protectors, 7 bikes, wagon for carrying everything, beach sand toys, squirt guns, tennis rackets, and lots more.

In the winter we have a variety of sleds and snow discs, snow shoes, as well as lots of shovels for building snow forts. We have even built a luge/bobsled run during one epic winter that went about 150'.

On the main level, you will find the large master bedroom #1 with vaulted pine ceilings, king bed, access to the back deck, a master bathroom with an oversized shower and a separate jetted tub, twin sinks, and a spacious walk in closet with two luggage stands.

Next to the master bedroom there is another bedroom #2 with a queen bed in it. We often set this up as an office when every bedroom is not needed. If you set it up this way, we have a 42" monitor and printer available, just bring your HDMI or DisplayPort/Thunderbolt laptop. There is also a 32" monitor in the cubby/desk in the kitchen.

Downstairs there is an oversized second master bedroom #3 with a king size log bed, another bedroom #4 with a Queen bed, and the playroom/bunkroom/bedroom #5 has a twin over full log bunk bed as well as a twin bed along with two couches, a TV and a game area.

Above everything is the kids loft bunkroom/playroom/bedroom #6 which has been fully enclosed with soundproof bank glass. It has a twin over full log bunk bed as well as two more twin beds.

There is also a bonus room located on the upper level with a queen bed - note that the ceiling height is a bit short, having a sloped ceiling that starts out at 7' on one side and descends gently to about 3' on the far side. The room is decent sized at about 13' wide but a bit narrow at 7'. As a 7th bedroom with full privacy, its wonderful.

Two of the bedrooms (those with bunk beds) are generally intended as playrooms for the kids and both have TV's, XBox One's, books, games, and toys. The downstairs bunkroom/playroom has two full sized couches for TV watching and XBox action, and a big ottoman for gathering around and game playing. The upstairs bunkroom/playroom has a TV and XBox One. Both rooms are great spaces for the kids to do their own thing.

The bed layout is:
Master - King - very large bedroom
2nd Master downstairs - King - another very large bedroom
Queen bedroom downstairs
Queen bedroom on main level (a little on the small side)
Attic room with a queen bed on upper level (lowered ceiling)
Downstairs bunkroom / playroom - twin over full bunkbed; twin bed; 2 couches; ottoman - very large room
Loft / bunkroom / playroom - twin over full bunkbed; 2 twin beds - very large room

All of the very large rooms can easily fit multiple air mattresses if necessary.

There is a small format combination foosball, air hockey, ping pong, and pool table in the garage.

This is a luxury rental and we try to take care of everything possible. Bed linens and bath towels are provided. Toilet paper is included and it's the real thing, not the awful commercial stuff. Paper towels, napkins, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, ziploc bags in three different sizes, trash bags, Pantene shampoo and conditioner, bath wash, hand soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, condiments, spices, a variety of Keurig K-Cup coffee flavors, hot chocolate, Krusteaz pancake mix, maple syrup, and more are all provided - there is no reason to fill your car with any of these bulky items. We try to keep the house stocked for you just like home. You will probably find that this is the best stocked rental house you have ever gone to.

If there is no same-day renter before or after you, we also offer early check-in and late check-out too – that way you can be out and active all day at the end of your trip and still come back to the house. We have never liked how hotels give you an extra hour for late checkout - we give you the rest of the day when possible.

The fine print:

No smoking indoors (no exceptions). Fines will be assessed for this.

No pets (no exceptions). Fines will be assessed for this.

No loud parties or events. Fines exceeding $1000 will be assessed for this by the HOA. This is a house for large family gatherings, not boisterous parties. The HOA will come down pretty hard on you.

3 and 4 day holiday weekends cannot be split. MLK,Prez,Mem,J4,Labor,Thx. Does not apply to Christmas and NY's which aren't weekends.

Saturday arrival and departure are generally not allowed for weekend stays because this prevents us from renting out the other half of the weekend.

Thanks for checking us out!
