About this property

Beautiful Family Home, great ski location, perfect for families, quiet location

Our two-story home in Tahoe Donner is perfect for 1-3 families vacationing together. Ideal for a maximum of 6 adults with up to 4 children, or less adults and more children for a maximum of 10 people. This is not a party house. In Winter it has easy access to Squaw Valley, Alpine, North Star, Tahoe Donner, Etc. Plus, best Cross Country Skiing facility in the west. In summer, great hiking and mountain biking.

There is lots of garage storage for many skis, boots, etc. The home is very quiet and peaceful. It is a family house. The main floor has two steps to enter the house and no other steps on the first floor interior and has a master bedroom and bath plus a 1/2 bath. The upstairs has 2 bedrooms, a 1 full bath with 2 sinks, plus a large separated kids room/Rec room where the kids can play games or relax. The rec room has 4 bunks, a seating area and a TV with cable and a Wii video game console. There is also a loft with an excellent relaxation space.

Downstairs, the main living room has vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, a large comfortable couch, and a stone gas fireplace. The kitchen has a gas stove / oven, and is well-equipped with everything from pots & pans to most things needed for any kind of cooking. There are a large number of place settings as well as plenty of glasses, mugs, dishes etc.

There is a large deck surrounded by lovely trees, with a fairway a short distance away. The home has its own horse shoe pit. There is a Weber Gas bbq and patio furniture, a patio table, and umbrella. In winter, the backyard is a HUGE snow park as it opens to the golf course where kids make snowmen, sled, and have snowball fights.

The house has two TVs with cable, and has an internet modem downstairs. There is cellular coverage throughout the house. The closets are stocked with games and puzzles. There is a washer and dryer upstairs.

Bedrooms

Tahoe Donner also has a tennis center (now with Pickleball as well), marina, equestrian center, family movie nights, bocce ball court, archery, a championship 18 hole golf course and driving range. There is a great (and free) putting green and an extremely nice free chipping area stocked with balls about 1 mile away.

This home is less than 5 minutes from Tahoe Donner ski hill and cross country center. Tahoe Donner is within 20 minutes to major ski resorts: Squaw, Northstar, Alpine Meadows, Sugar Bowl.

In summer, this is a fantastic hiking and mountain biking location. Trails start about 1 mile from my home. Amazing (and free) trails into the wilderness with trail maps, markers for varying levels of effort.

Excellent stay
this property is as the slogan says "Beautiful Family Home, great ski location, perfect for families, quiet location." On top of that, we are so appreciative of how proactively informative and responsive the owners are, especially this snow season has been tumultuous. They really had us, the renter's best interest at heart. Now onto the home, very spacious and bright with everything you would need in a home. We really enjoyed spending time with the kids in the very cozy kids room. We hope to visit again next season.

Cozy ski house
We came up for a ski weekend and enjoyed the house. The kitchen is very nice and we cooked a lot of great meals for our 10-person group. Also easy to hang out and watch TV together. The sleeping arrangements were fine, everything was clean and worked well. A couple minutes' drive to the Tahoe Donner downhill ski area so that was convenient. We really liked it and would stay here again.

Family Winter Getaway 2022
My grandkids (1yr - 14 yr) really enjoyed the slope in the backyard. The area kept them busy outside. We had plenty of room for them to play inside too. Thank you.

Tahoe Donner House rental
Our three day stay with 6 adults and 4 kids went perfectly. Hosts Lynn and Patrick were as gracious as could be and offered several great activity suggestions that we took them up on. The house is represented accurately on vrbo and has a great lay-out for adults and kids being able to enjoy their own spaces. Location is great and had no trouble navigating in and out with snowy conditions.I highly recommend staying at this wonderful house.
