About this house rental

Nestled in the trees near the top of Skislope, a level driveway takes you to our stunning log home situated on two acres, giving it a parklike setting with privacy and elegance. Designed to evoke the feel of your own private lodge, exquisite attention was given to craftsmanship, finishes and décor. Each log was lovingly hand picked in Montana. A large bank of windows brings the outdoors in no matter the season. The spacious great room with its stone fireplace is the perfect spot to track winter snowdrifts and watch deer and birds.

Two professional bakers designed the kitchen. With prep and kitchen sinks and a large Wolf range with grill, it is easy to prepare an intimate dinner for two or a family Thanksgiving feast. The spacious open floor plan easily meets the needs of a busy family.

Designed for ease of living, there are three bedrooms: one bedroom (queen-size bed) and bathroom on the main floor for those who prefer not to use stairs. Upstairs are the en-suite master bedroom (queen-size bed), and the 3rd bedroom (full-size bed). The loft, with a couch and two twin-size daybeds, provides perfect away space for reading or watching movies. A mudroom minimizes after ski hassles, and forced air heating warms the house quickly. The wonderful wood burning fireplace further enhances the lodge-feeling.

In summer you'll find golf courses, tennis courts, an equestrian center, year-around heated swimming pools, archery, a recreation center with a fully equipped work-out facility, hot tub and sauna, recreation events, day camps, spectacular biking and hiking, and of course access to the Donner Lake Private Beach and Marina with all its water activities for endless terrific family fun, as well as great rock climbing and so much more.
Please check Tahoe Donner's website for more information at www.TahoeDonner.com.

Our property borders the Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort - you might be able to see skiers on the green "Mile Run" at the end of our property. The entrance to the Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort, the Cross Country Ski Area, and the downhill sledding and ice skating rink are mere minutes away. The upper part of our property is great for sledding!
And 20-30 minutes away are the world class ski resorts of Palisades Tahoe/Alpine Meadows, NorthStar, Boreal (Boreal also has Woodward, a fabulous action sports mountain playground), Sugar Bowl and Royal Gorge.
No shortage of things to do to be sure. Truckee has great restaurants and fun shops, Reno's airport is 30 minutes away (Truckee has a small airport), and you are close to the Nevada border for casinos, but if what you want to do is to do nothing at all, then we invite you to our home. Its tranquil beauty is guaranteed to hold you captive. In summer, stargazing while sitting around the gas fire table will make it difficult to ever think of leaving!

On a final note, this home was a labor of love. We trust that those who rent it will keep this in mind and will treat it well. It sleeps six to eight people comfortably. It is not a home for parties or groups. Kids/teenagers must be accompanied by adults.
Maximum length of stay is 14 days.

We had a fantastic time staying at the lovely log cabin. Thank you so much for our hostesses' generosity and great communication.

Great house is a wonderful location for hiking. It’s only a 20 +/- minute trip into central Truckee. We especially enjoyed the living room and the deck; great for hanging out. One bedroom, with a full size bed, is a bit unconventional with one side of the bed pushed up against a wall. Nobody wants to climb over to get to their side. But the other two bedrooms were very comfortable. There was a mixup with checkin but the owner was able to resolve it quickly. Overall, it was a very nice four nights. It would be fabulous during ski season.

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful house. It's full of unique touches that show the car that the owners have put into it. It's situated just a short walk from a hiking area and is in a very peaceful setting. Four huge bucks came and sunbathed right outside the kitchen window. It's an easy 15 minute drive down the hill to restaurants, shopping, and the lake. The owner was extremely responsive and very helpful. Highly recommend this property!

Had a wonderful stay at this home with our extended family (older parents, us, older teens). Kitchen is amazing. Layout is really open and generates a lot of social communication. First day saw one of the largest deer (buck) we have ever seen. Great way to start the trip! We stayed during a warm time (90s) and the house stayed very cool. Opening windows after dusk really made it cool at night.

We had the best stay at the property. It was even more beautiful than it appears on the listing. My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon in Tahoe, and couldn’t be happier we chose Woj’s house to do so. We both said it was the nicest house we had ever been in. We will definitely be back. The access to Tahoe Donner is a huge plus!

My friend and I were in Truckee to play golf for a couple of days, and found the cabin to be an amazing place to relax in between rounds. The kitchen is a gourmand's dream, clearly set up and maintained by someone passionate about cooking. Woutje's communication was proactive and clear, which made the experience memorably drama-free. I highly recommend this an option for anyone in search of a mountain retreat in the Truckee area.

My family stayed at Woutje’s beautiful home for 4 nights. My husband and I were able to have our 5 adult kids + 1 girlfriend and we were in heaven. The kitchen is very well equipped. You don’t need anything. The beds were comfortable and the family room has a real fireplace so it was a perfect gathering space. We ran into a few issues, mainly ones that occur when the owner may not be in the home for a while. Woutje responded immediately and always did whatever she could to fix the problem. I believe that we were able to work together to always make things work. I definitely recommend this home. Its location is great, the host is wonderful and it’s a great place for family memories.

My husband and I along with 2 other couples stayed here for a weekend in Tahoe. The house was gorgeous, so charming and had every comfort we needed. We each got our own room and full bathroom, and enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen. The location of the house is great, only 15 minutes from Truckee where we went out to dinner and got groceries. We also skied at Palisades, only 30 min away, and visited the lake! We brought our own snowshoes to the house and just a few minutes walk away is the entrance to a great hike that leads to a view of Donner Lake. Communication with Woutje was great and check-in was very easy following their detailed instructions. We would 100% stay here again!
