A Little Bit of Heaven-a Mountain Experience at its Best

We offer an affordable home in Truckee, California's Tahoe Donner, conveniently located off I-80. This three bedroom, two bath, 2000 square foot house is completely furnished, with high vaulted pine ceilings, pine cabinets in fully equipped kitchen, and the flat grounds nestled among trees make for excellent snow play in the winter; all the comforts of home. In the summer, the deck is perfect for leisure dining. Driveway parking for four vehicles.

The Tahoe Donner area for summer has Coyote Moon Golf Course, nearby hiking trails, public tennis/pickleball courts and shopping and dining in downtown Truckee. For the winter, we are 10 minutes to the Tahoe Donner downhill/world class cross-country ski areas (excellent for family and new skiers), 20 minutes to Palisades Tahoe, Northstar, Alpine Meadows, Sugar Bowl ski resorts, and 30 minutes to Reno, Nevada.

Try our house for a week or more for a peaceful, serene and relaxing vacation in the Sierras, winter or summer. We are confident you will return time and again. In the summer, escape from the heat and enjoy the cool mountain air; in the winter, enjoy skiing at the various resorts.

What a great little spot. It was very open in the communal area which was great for my larger group of 7. Plenty of room for us to all sleep comfortably as well. And a pretty close drive to all the cool spots in truckee

Misleading description. No amenities

The description indicated swimmming , access to Tahoe Donner Association marina at donner lake :rentals, boat, paddle boards. Pickleball, tennis, jacuzzi. Not true at all. When I discussed with owner, she said she stopped paying for guest access about two years ago. It wasn’t worth it and she could not get paperwork done in time. Not helpful. Linens and towels were threadbare, at least 20 years old. Thermostat was not operational. Bathroom plunger was rotted and torn. At least 30 years old. It was if grandma went to assisted living and they just listed it for VRBO.

Weekend Snowboarding/Ski Trip

Very clean, big and open concept, which was amazing. Kitchen supplies out dated, one of the burners does not work on the stove, the toaster was sparking/very hazardous, not safe. The beds are not comfortable.

Great stay! Large, clean, comfortable

We had a great stay at Joyce's rental and would stay there again. It was super clean and comfortable and looked exactly like the photos, so we knew what to expect. Check-in and checkout was easy.Yes, the furnishings and decor need updating, but we knew this going in and were fine with it. There were some things that bugged us a little but didn't affect our stay, I mention them only to make this a more useful review:-The stove is a very old electric and is a bit difficult to cook on-The toaster needs replacing, it burns one side and doesn't toast the other-All of the non-stick cookware needs replacing as it is chipped and scratched-There is a dearth of cooking utensils (only one single metal spatula for instance) and no sharp knives-Silverware, dishware and glassware is what looks like a random lifetime accumulation. Very few drinking glasses, no wine glasses, lots of branded giveaway mugsAgain - this did not affect our stay but it's something to keep in mind if that stuff is important to you.

Great Family Home

We rented this property to celebrate my husbands birthday and ski/snowboard at Northstar. The home fit our family of 6 perfectly and the living space was spacious and comfortable. The home is very clean and while the linens/towels/bedding/kitchen equipment/decorations are from my Mother’s generation everything was very well kept, clean, and functional. We enjoyed our stay and will happily re-book in the future.

This is a great location!

This property is very nice, clean, big enough for a large family. Location is only 7 minutes from downtown Truckee and easy to get to. The neighborhood is nice and gives the real "I'm in the Sierras" feeling, fresh air, nice inside and out! While the decor is a little dated, but didn't effect any of my wonderful time away for a friend's wedding.
