About this house rental

Our Tahoe Donner retreat has 3 bedrooms upstairs and family/bunkroom downstairs. It can comfortably sleep 8 people (kids under 13 not included - max 11 guests total). There is 3 full bathrooms.

In the summer, the backyard is a park-like setting with outdoor deck, shaded picnic table and lawn. In the winter, this becomes a great snowplay area!

New for 2024- we have installed an air conditioning unit in the living room for the occasional hot summer day.

After a day out enjoying the beautiful outdoor Tahoe summer or winter, relax in the hot tub on the deck. The kitchen with large center island provides a gathering area while cooking together. The dining table can seat 10 for a nice meal. We love the family movie nights on the 85 inch TV screen in the great room. There are large screen TVs in the master and downstairs bunkroom.

Our house is convenient is convenient to Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, and Northstar ski resorts and the quaint downtown of Truckee with many restaurants and shops. Truckee River bike path allows for 6.8 miles of walking/riding from Squaw Valley to Tahoe City. The Truckee River Legacy Trail is a 2.5 mile flat walking/biking trail located at Truckee River Regional Park.

The property is part of the Tahoe-Donner Homeowners Association. Guests (check website for current fees) will have access to the private community pool and spa, tennis courts and the clubhouse amenities and dining, golf at a discounted rate and a private beach and boating marina at Donner Lake. Additionally, Tahoe Donner is home to many other community activities including horse back riding, cross country skiing, downhill skiing, sledding and hiking.

Please note that the driveway is graded. A snow removal service plows the driveway in the winter but if there is snowfall, then chains and/or 4 wheel drive may be required. Ease of travel in the mountains is very much weather dependent in the winter. Homeowner is not liable for difficult driving situations or Tahoe Donner power outages as a result of storm conditions.

Possible the best vacation house we’ve ever rented. Open, bright, airy, cozy, well appointed. Backyard is great for hanging out and for the kids, and is a rare amenity for Tahoe homes. Can’t recommend highly enough.

This house was perfect for a family of 5. Two 15 year olds and a 12 year old. Very comfortable lay out with everything that we needed. House came nicely outfitted with everything we needed, shampoo, beach gear, etc. Location is tucked nicely into the woods with a VERY nice backyard hang out area. Private and large,. All around very pleased with the property!

This beautiful home was very accommodating for our family (6 adults and 5 children). We loved the sleeping arrangements and huge kitchen, where all of us were able to eat meals and play games at the large kitchen table. Be prepared for an over-heated kitchen and living room in the hot summer months as there is no AC. Even 3 fans in these rooms could not lower the high temp! Thank goodness all the bedrooms stayed cool.

We had a fantastic time staying at Christina's place and it perfectly accommodated two families with two kids each (age range 2-7). Our group grilled almost every night so the deck dining + grill set up was just perfect, and the kitchen is really nice as well if your group will be cooking. Everything was really as-advertised, and having the yard where kids could play within sight of parents prepping meals was a major plus. Highly recommend this place :) I saw another review comment on bringing a fan and appreciated that heads up -- it was really hot during our Tahoe trip and if you're planning a trip at a similar time, I'd recommend bringing along a good fan to help cool the bigger rooms down; worked perfectly for us.
