ABOUT OUR HOME Our sunny, modern, and beautifully decorated four-bedroom Truckee vacation home is located in the popular Tahoe Donner community. Whatever the season, there’s tons to do outside, whether hiking, swimming, golfing, mountain biking, playing tennis and paddle-boarding in the summer or enjoying the world-class skiing nearby in the winter. For those days when you don’t feel like heading out, stay in and enjoy the hot tub, the gourmet kitchen, the sunny deck among the trees, or just curling up with a good book in front of the fire.
The house throughout has been tastefully decorated in an eclectic modern style, with attention to detail everywhere you look.
On the main level of the house, the open floor plan includes a great room with room for everyone to socialize, a fully-stocked kitchen for the chef in your group and a dining table that seats twelve for your family feasts. Also on this floor is the Master Suite which has a large and sunny bedroom with king-size bed, a walk-in closet and a luxurious stone and granite bathroom with a step-in shower, two vanities and a large jacuzzi tub. Two other bedrooms are on this floor, each with a king-size bed, and together they share a bathroom with twin vanities and a tub with shower.
Downstairs you'll find the two remaining sleeping areas. There's the fourth bedroom with two twin beds, one of which can convert to a queen-size bed on a trundle, and a bunk room with four twin beds. There are two more bathrooms, one with a luxurious deep tub as well as a step-in shower and the other with a large step-in shower. The large recreation room has a widescreen HD TV (with cable), a modern sectional sofa, a DVD player, a card table, as well as a selection of toys and games.
The beds in our home all have new, comfortable, high-quality mattresses and high thread-count linens. There are laundry facilities on both floors. All bedrooms and the rec room are carpeted, while the bathrooms all have heated floors - no cold feet here!
Outside, you will find a big sunny deck off the great room with a large gas grill, umbrella, and seating for twelve for an outdoor feast. Downstairs there is a wide patio with a six-person hot tub where you can enjoy a soak amongst the trees after a day out hiking or on the slopes. We have an ample two car garage and a flat driveway (an important feature when there is any snowfall) with space for two more cars.
This beautiful home sleeps up to 12 guests and is especially well-suited to three couples with up to six children. Our home is ideal for year-round getaways, whether you bring your skis or your hiking boots, with family and friends.
PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING: We kindly request that you send an inquiry prior to a making booking request. And we always appreciate it when guests include a brief description of their group.

Great family Christmas in our old home town, Truckee!
Great location, level parking. Probably best equipped home we have stayed, celebrating our Family Christmas. Owners were great to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again!
Hosts were fantastic with communications all throughout booking and had everything we needed to enjoy our family holiday. Tons of space and great game room and hot tub. House was very comfortable!
We go to Tahoe every summer and this is the 3rd time staying at this wonderful home. It almost feels like our home now. The accommodations, cleanliness, amenities and value just can’t be beat for our large group. Looking forward to coming back again!
We loved the setup of the house for family with kids. Great location as it was close to the ski resort. Loved the downstairs for kids to play! Loved the hot tub was covered so we didn’t have to wear shoes. Also the backyard was great for the kids to play with the snow when not skiing.
Such a beautiful home. Plenty of room for the kids to play downstairs while we read and conversed upstairs. Great kitchen amenities and roomy table for all 9 of us to collect around. So many games for the family, nice quality linens, plenty of towels. Great home we all thoroughly enjoyed!
Loved our stay here! The house is really well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and lots of fun toys, games, and books. Our kids especially loved the Wii!
Comfortable stay for 10 people (6 adults, 4 kids). A super nice benefit is the extra bedroom downstairs - there are 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms downstairs, in addition to the 3+2 upstairs.
Great communication, super easy and comfortable. Highly recommend. We would rent again!!
Everything was perfect. The house was lovely and very open and light. It was furnished like a home, with much art on the walls, and it did feel at all like a rental property. Our host was readily available and immediately addressed any questions I had. The downstairs provided a lovely play area for the children, complete with all sorts of games and toys. We could not have hoped for anything more.
This house was the best vacation rental for an extended family. 6 adults and three kids, 12, 11, and 11 stayed here plus we hosted my cousins family, 5 adults, 1 child (11) for several dinners. The kitchen was generously stocked with everything we needed including lots of spices and condiments. The three adult couples luxuriated ineach of our king bed bedrooms. The children loved the downstairs sleeping arrangements and the large family room. The house was spotless, large dining tables inside and on the patio allowed us to seat 15 all together for dinner! Communication with the host was excellent. Wonderful vacation rental. I highly recommend this home for your next vacation!
Our second time there for the winter break and our kids love the place. It is close to Tahoe donner ski, the kids room on the bottom floor is great, and the backyard is a great place for the kids to go sledding.
We have been talking a yearly Family vacation for over 20years , and I can seriously say that this property was one of the best homes we have ever rented. The owner was very gracious and ready to accommodate. The home was very clean and fully stocked. Hope we can return next year. Thank you Carl and Susannah for sharing it with us.
We had a wonderful stay here! The game room downstairs was definitely a favorite of all of the kids. They loved all of the books, board games, and toys! The rooms are all huge and there was ample space for all in our group to sleep and stay comfortably. We would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend this vacation rental.

Beautiful house, great for our families
We loved this Tahoe house - we've stayed in lots and this was one of the best. The kids bedroom and play area downstairs was terrific. The kitchen was so well-equipped and great for cooking group meals. The design and furniture even suited our modern aesthetic. Highly-recommended!
Our 2nd year in a row staying at the property. Everything set up just like a home..comfortable, generous amount of supplies, love the king beds and bunk room. The layout is perfect for multiple families. It is located close to walking and bike paths. Thank you for a terrific vacation.
This property is clean, large. Great for kids including teenages. The back yard is large and easily accessible. We had a great snow ball fight. Will be back at this location soon
It’s just perfect, modern home and all facilities, best communication with the owner. The house feel like a place where owner actually live in that with all the small details and touches. Can not recommend more.
Amazing house for a weekend getaway with the family!
I stayed here with my sister and their families. We had 5 adults and three babies under the age of 2. We knew we would be at the house a lot of the time and this house was great! They literally have everything you would need fully stocked! Susannah was amazing went above and beyond to answer all my questions. We are already planning our trip back in summer! Highly recommend staying here!
The location is peaceful, quiet, and feels much further out of the way than it actually is. Quick trips to get supplies are easy, but once back you feel like you're alone in the woods.
Nicely appointed. Great kitchen. Very comfortable. Strongly recommend you consider this property for your stay.
We had an amazing vacation! The house was much bigger then we expected and very well stocked with towels and essentials. The hot tub was a perfect addition for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Location is close to Lake Tahoe, Donner Lake, Truckee River, and Reno. The only complaint is there is no air conditioning, which was uncomfortable during the day as we were there in mid July. Still would recommend despite the A/C.

Perfect accommodations for our large family
Your Truckee home was exactly what we needed to make our Tahoe/Donner vacation one of the best we've had. The house was clean, comfortable, light-filled, generously supplied and a great layout for our family. The common rooms were large, the bedrooms were separate from one another and the beds were comfortable. We especially loved the bunk and twin bedrooms for our visiting 5 grandchildren. We felt Truckee was the place to be, close to conveniences and activities but a quiet neighborhood. Dave was quick to respond to questions, during the entire process. We've been staying in VRBO homes for more than 12 years and I'd say this stay was definitely one of our favorites.
We rented this property for our family of 6 and our friends who are a family of 4. There was plenty of space and it’s located in just a gorgeous spot among the trees. Just around the corner from Donnor Lake and 25 minutes from Tahoe City made this the perfect location. It rained the first couple days so we were at the property more than we planned and we were so glad we got to stay at this beautiful place. The books, games, hot tub, basement living area, and large dining table made the experience so much better. The kids bunk room and the multiple King beds are what put it over the top for us. My husband and I and our friends need king size beds to be comfortable and there was even 1 more extra for their pre-teen daughter. We had game nights and found having dinner at the cabin was more comfortable than even eating out. Dave, the host, was also a delight to work with. He was communicative, answered any questions we had, and was so helpful. We would whole-heartedly recommend this cabin and will be coming back here if we ever make it back to Tahoe. Thank you, Dave!
We had such a lovely week at this house. The house is beautiful and just expertly stocked for families. Tons of books for every age level (adults included) puzzles, games, an electric piano, gear for playing outdoors, lots of storage space, two sets of washer/dryers, and a truly FULLY stocked kitchen. (We cooked Thanksgiving dinner for 12 and had everything we needed!) The house is a short drive to Ace Hardware, Safeway, coffee shops, etc in Truckee, and is in a great forest neighborhood. Owner was super fast to respond. A gem.
A group of us stayed here for a weekend and had an amazing time! The house is gorgeous, well-equipped with everything we needed, and had plenty of space for 12 adults. We all especially loved the heated floors in the bathrooms! Dave was a fabulous host as well, great communication and very accommodating. We would definitely recommend and would love to come back again soon!! Thanks Dave!
