The Blue Moose | Gameroom | 2 Workspaces | Hot Tub
WELCOME TO THE BLUE MOOSE - Your Tahoe Donner Mountain Getaway
The Blue Moose is a stunning mountain-style vacation home in the sought-after Tahoe Donner resort community of North Lake Tahoe. Backing directly onto National Forest land, this cabin offers a true tree-top living experience with hiking and biking trails along Alder Creek, just steps from the backyard.
Inside, you’ll find a warm mountain-style design with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, fir floors, and cedar accents. The main level features a well-equipped kitchen, spacious dining room, cozy pub-style dining nook, and a living room centered around a beautiful pass-through fireplace. The home includes four bedrooms (two of which are ensuite master suites), plus a downstairs bonus/media room, perfect for kids or movie nights. With multiple gathering spaces and private sleeping areas, the layout works beautifully for both large families and smaller groups.
In the winter, you’ll love the easy back route from Tahoe Donner to Northstar, while summer brings convenient access to Tahoe Donner’s private amenities, including the recreation center, golf course, equestrian center, beach club at Donner Lake, and endless hiking and biking trails.
Whether you’re visiting for skiing, mountain biking, or simply relaxing by the fire, The Blue Moose is the perfect Truckee/Tahoe retreat.
