About this property

Relaxing spacious summer family home- 3 master bedrooms!

  • Welcome to our beautiful home! While surrounded by the beauty and serenity of the Lake Tahoe area, you will have all the amenities, conveniences and connectivity you enjoy at home. The open floor plan great room features a fully equipped chef's kitchen including a Nespresso VertuoLine (we love to cook and are serious about our morning coffee!), a large island with 4 bar stools, a dining table that seats 8, a game table, a gas starter wood fireplace and a TV with all the aps (apple TV, Netflix, Hulu etc) . A custom built artisan 10' shuffleboard table has also been installed for fun indoor activities on those rainy/snowy days. The large deck off the great room has a gas barbecue (direct from the house so never runs out!) as well as patio furniture in the summer. High speed WifFi throughout the house makes remote work a breeze (though as with all mountain living, can be subject to power outages) As we have 2 boys of our own the house is very kid friendly.

    Our home is located within a short walk the Donner Downhill ski area (0.2miles away with a BRAND NEW LODGE for 2026!) and trails are ½ mile away and in easy walking distance for snowshoeing, hiking and mountain biking. There is an attached 3 car garage and ample driveway parking for additional cars (4) . A mile away are the Trout Creek Recreation Center, Golf Course and driving range/sledding hill.


    The Trout Creek Recreation Center offers hot tubs (three of them!), a large swimming pool (summer), a separate lap pool (heated in winter), saunas, fitness center, classes and health spa. Tahoe Donner also has an outstanding tennis center, cross country/equestrian/mountain biking center and a small downhill ski area. There is a private beach for swimming and boating at Donner Lake Marina 5 miles away.

    Major ski areas within 30 minutes include Squaw Valley, Northstar, Sugar Bowl and Alpine Meadows. The town of Truckee has unique shops, pubs and dining. Tahoe Donner has its own excellent restaurant at the Golf Course Lodge.

    This is our second home that we take great pride in as we also use it monthly to escape the bustle of everyday life. We strive to make this your home away from home as well! Personal touches allow more flexibility and personalized care that some of the professionally managed rentals cannot provide. We hope your family enjoys the home as much as we do!

    This is a mountain home and with that comes the excitement of unpredictable weather, (short) power outages, and sometimes highway and road closure. The home is also at 6800ft and receives much more snow than in Truckee proper. AWD is a must for any home access in this area of Tahoe Donner. Driveway is plowed once daily but it is not uncommon for the town of Truckee to plow higher elevation roads last. There will be no refunds due to weather and factors out of our control. We encourage trip insurance or booking an extra night if you want extra buffer around your trip.

    Bullfrog hydrotherapy hot tub!
    Enjoy a night with family and friends exchanging stories about your day while getting those achy muscles recovered with individualized hydrotherapy jets. This spa comes equipped with 6 customized JetPaks to elevate the hyrotherapeutic experience- this really is a unique relaxing hot tub experience. (Do note that Tahoe Donner strictly enforces the quiet hours of 10pm-7am)

    *** pet rental policy **
    We do allow 1 dog per reservation with pre approval only, for an additional 200 pet fee. While we love dogs, (our dog travels everywhere with us too!) and we have been happy to allow them to be included in family vacations in the past, the unfortunate abuse of this rule with destructive dogs has forced us to be more selective.

    *Town of Truckee RCN - 858, STR certificate number - STR21-00050
    ** The Town of Truckee short term rental tax of 13.25% is included in your final reservation cost

Great summer getaway

This was our first visit to Lake Tahoe and our family had a wonderful time staying here. There was plenty of space and we didn’t have any trouble finding anything needed. We really enjoyed the hot tub and shuffle board and the teens had fun playing video games. We felt comfortable and at home.

Long weekend getaway

The house is very well located and roomy enough for a group. Overall we enjoyed our stay but some people had trouble sleeping in 2 of the rooms because they were so warm and fans were not provided. The kids had a lot of fun with the shuffleboard and the house is well stocked.

Family get together

This house is a little worn, but everything worked and the owners made sure that we had all we needed. We had hoped to ski, but rain spoiled the snow. The house, however, was large enough with enough fun stuff to keep everyone entertained.

Perfect Holiday Home

Solene’s home was perfect for our family to spend our Christmas in. Location is amazing and the amenities and rooms were perfect for our family of 5 adults and 2 kids. The home was also perfect for our dog with a deck and enclosed fence. You can walk to Tahoe-Donner and the house was a quick drive to a snow park for our 7 year old niece and downtown and grocery stores are also nearby. Great communication from the owners and loved being able to build fires in the fireplace and use the hot tub on Christmas Day!

5 Star Review - Perfect Family Home

The perfect getaway for our family of five — mom, dad, and three adult kids! The house had plenty of space for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable. We especially loved the large TV and the cozy sofa, perfect for movie nights after intense (but fun!) shuffleboard matches.The location was incredibly convenient — just a quick drive to the Donner Downhill parking lot to catch the shuttle up. The home was spotless, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed.Solene was fantastic and super responsive, making the whole experience even better. We can't wait to come back and stay in this lovely home again! Highly recommend it!

Tahoe Family Trip

We booked Solene's home for a Tahoe getaway for 4 families with kids ranging from 1-4 years old. The house is perfect for large groups to cook (or bring in takeout - there's so many restuarants nearby!) Super close to the Donner Downhill Ski resort, (which was surprisingly not cramped during Ski Week). There was a hiccup on the way to the place but wow, Solene went above and beyond to ensure we were still taken care of. We felt truly valued as guests, and the communication was top-notch throughout the entire process. We're so grateful for the host’s professionalism and dedication to making sure our trip went smoothly. Highly recommend!!!

Mixed feelings

The shuffleboard game, fireplace, sound system and hot tub are awesome! However, the house itself is dated and not up to my cleanliness standard. The couch desperately needs replacing as the cushions are very stained to the point of being a different color than the frame. The pillows on our bed smelled like body odor and were stained yellow when removing the pillowcases. Spiderwebs were all over the ceiling. Dust collected on the vents. The shower grout was moldy. There were water stains on most of the wood near the front entrance. We rent annually in Tahoe Donner and this was the dirtiest house we have ever rented. It’s such a shame as the house has good bones. It just needs a new couch, new pillows, remodeled bathrooms, new stain and a deep cleaning.

Perfect Large Family Home!

The house was perfect. The 3 primary suites were great for us, our 2 grown kids and their partners. We brought our pup for her first snow trip. The enclosed deck opening to a small metal pen area in the yard was awesome. We were there for back to back atmospheric rivers and being able to just let her out and watch her from inside was a huge plus. The house is high end yet lived in so that you feel at home and comfortable almost immediately. The custom shuffle table and the Wii provided hours of snowed-in fun. The layout of the kitchen and the great room meant everyone could be together but also have enough space to just hang out. The kitchen was well equipped and we made liberal use of the Nespresso coffee maker. The owner was great to work with. There was a small mix up when we arrived but her and her local host were on it in 15 minutes - having a response like that means you can really enjoy your time there! Since we were mostly snowed in, the location, where we could walk to TD Downhill for skiing, and just a very short drive to TD X-country, meant we did not miss out on activities. The hot tub is new and huge and had just been serviced, and is nicely protected but with views of the woods. The fireplace with gas starter meant great fires whenever we wanted. Being able to pull into the garage with interior access was another big plus. Can't wait to come back.
