Overview

Permit #: 016622 Occupancy: 8 **Note: the use of Tahoe Donner HOA facilities requires additional daily fees. Looking for a luxurious place to stay in the Tahoe-Donner area? This amazing three bedroom vacation home is just the getaway you've been looking for! You'll enjoy an elegant interior, new furnishings, great outdoor amenities like swimming pools, golf, tennis, and the peace and quiet of the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains. Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors, wood beamed ceilings, and gorgeous design accents. In the formal living room you can sit back on the comfortable sectional sofa, and watch a DVD or satellite on the TV. In the chef-inspired kitchen, there's everything you could possibly want - a stainless steel refrigerator, gas range, oven, ample counter space, champagne and martini glasses, a rice cooker, lots of platters, roasting pans - even a waffle maker for lively weekend brunches. This bright space gets a lot of natural light from the windows by the sink. In addition to the living room, right off the dining room, is a large family room with a foosball table, a TV, DVD player, and spots for everyone to sit back and relax. Let the kids watch a movie here while the adult have their own movie and martini night in the living room. Grab a book from the shelf and curl up on the window seat with a mug of tea for an afternoon of quiet reading. You'll also find board games, movie libraries, and video games here to provide even more entertainment options. On sunny days, take to the outdoor deck and enjoy the pine tree-lined scenery! There's a gas grill for summer barbecues and patio furniture so that everyone has a spot. On chilly nights, turn on the heat lamp and do some star gazing, maybe with a champagne toast. It's also the ideal place for a morning cup of coffee while you enjoy the sun, cool mountain breeze, and morning birdsongs. After a day of skiing, hiking, or biking, you'll have a good night's sleep in three luxurious upstairs bedrooms. The primary suite boasts cherry wood furniture, a TV and DVD player, and an en suite bathroom with a jetted tub, vanity with double sinks, and a walk-in shower. A second bedroom features a rustically elegant pine bed frame with a queen bed, and in the third bedroom, there are two sets of twin bunk beds - let the kids have a slumber party every night. A washer/dryer is available - so you're covered for longer stays as well. And while this amazing Lake Tahoe vacation rental will definitely provide lots of great memories, you'll have so much to do here in the popular Lake Tahoe region! Nestled in the base village of Tahoe Donner Ski Areas, you're a 10-minute walk, or a two-minute drive to the ticket office and lift area, creating a hassle-free experience. This mountain community is 30 minutes away from five more ski areas - Northstar, Sugar Bowl, Alpine Meadows, Boreal, and Squaw Valley, offering ample pickings for skiers/riders hungry for variety.

It was perfect for our event!

Pros: Very responsive rental manager (via text). Well stocked kitchen. Nice appliances (fridge, washer and dryer, tvs, gas grill, superb Bluetooth speaker). Foosball table and many board games, books, DVDs. Two car garage decently stocked with bikes, tennis rackets, etc. Cons: A few things that needed repairs, which didn’t bother me but worried some older family members. Pull out bed was broken (though may not have been advertised on the listing). Rec center is underwhelming and admission is confusing (with provided pass, each of first six adults is $24, and each kid is $10, re-entry and outside food allowed, though the facilities are not worth it). All in all, good home, great rental managers, but skip the rec center!

Great space, nice mud room to keep the house clean. Lot's of room for cooking and dinner with the family. Very enjoyable and large primary bedroom. Easy access to Donner and other ski resorts. Would definitely stay again!
