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. Closer to home, Tahoe Donner amenities (with a discounted fee) include swimming pools, shared hot tubs, golf, tennis, bocci ball, a private beach at Donner Lake, and a ski area with tubing hill.

The Tahoe Donner HOA has instituted new changes to their Guest Pass Policy. This home has 6 guest passes (one pass per person aged 3 and up). Tahoe Donner amenity rates are subject to change. 6 cards are available with 1 person per card. Please contact Tahoe Donner for up to date pricing (530) 587-9400.

Todor T2025-12-11

Stayed at this place many times in the past and was completely disappointed when rented it for Thanksgiving weekend 2025. At the time of check-in we were told that the refrigerator is not working and will not be fixed. The property manager did not care and refunded us USD 60 .... LOLOLOL.... They just DID NOT CARE. The fire place did not work as well. All glasses in the kitchen and plates needed to be re-washed. The carpet was dirty at many area and not properly cleaned. Looked like the place was not use for many months and nobody cared to put some effort to make it livable. Weekend from hell. Would not rent this place again. Ever!

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!

This is 3rd time we are renting this property. You will find everything you need for a nice short or long stay. Very well kept property and great location.

Penny W2024-07-02

Cobwebs and spiders everywhere. Master toilet had problems working. Q tips and bugs on master bathroom floor. Bugs in other bathroom as well. Back deck covered in pine needles and no furniture.

Tommy S2024-04-09

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!
