5-bedroom Luxury Home , on 3 acres of pine trees with Hot Tun, Dogs ok

Welcome to Royal Zen! This impressive five-bedroom getaway is nestled amongst pine trees on 3 acres, located in a private yet accessible neighborhood in Truckee. This peaceful sanctuary is not your typical Tahoe cabin, and emanates cosy luxury living versus a stale rental. Professionally decorated with antique furniture imported from Bali, the modern zen style is unique and comfortable.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, complete with all the necessary appliances and utensils to whip up delicious meals. Gather your loved ones around the 10 foot kitchen island or sit at the extra large dining table. The large outdoor patio is great to enjoy alfresco dining, or relax around the fire pit table, taking in the breathtaking woodsy views.

When it's time to unwind, sink into the plush seating of the living room and cozy up by the gas fireplace. Indulge in a soak in the private hot tub, or venture out to the nearby shops and restaurants of down town Truckee. The home is perfect for large groups or extended families and has two separate living room areas, with comfortable couches to watch the smart TVs with satellite/cable channels for your entertainment.

With 4.5 bathrooms, towels, and basic toiletries, you'll have all the essentials to make your stay comfortable. Enjoy the convenience of a washing machine and dryer, as well as 2 dishwashers for easier clean up after big meals.

Royal Zen is just a short 22-minute drive from the renowned Northstar California Resort and 15 minutes from the serene Donner Lake. Palisades Ski Resort and Lake Tahoe are each a 35 minute drive from this property.

Whether you're seeking a relaxing retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, this Truckee vacation home offers the perfect escape for your next mountain getaway. Experience the beauty of the mountains and create lasting memories with your loved ones.

Beautiful home

This home was perfect for our group of two families. The kitchen/living area is beautiful and the views out the huge windows are amazing. The kitchen was well equipped. It is a very quiet residential neighborhood so I don’t recommend it if you have a noisy group that plans on partying loudly.

Perfect Stay

Once again Royal Zen provided my family with an amazing stay. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to cook and the house is perfect for family gatherings. We have stayed here now two years in a row during the holidays and will be returning for years to come. The host, Kristin, is always so responsive and helpful! Can’t wait to return next year!

Spacious and comfortable rental

Our group of 8 friends had a lovely stay at Royal Zen over the Thanksgiving weekend. The kitchen was a great set up to cook a holiday dinner in and the house provided ample space to spend time together or retreat to our own quiet spaces if needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and the gas fireplace and kept warm and cozy. Definitely recommend this property and hope to visit again!

Truckee Zen

Overall very nice house with beautiful property backing to pine forest for nearly complete privacy. The house is spacious with nice size bedrooms. Kitchen and Great Room have plenty of comfortable seating. Hot tub is spotless as well as new gas grill. It’s about 35 min to Kings Beach House is lived in and could use some updating and repairs. Nothing that impacted the stay but would rate this 8 of 10 in terms of overall quality.

Very peaceful & wonderful stay! House is very nice as described. Convenient 10-15 min to down town Truckee. We were in from Northern VA. for a family wedding. It was nice to have enough beds and en suites for all of us:) pre teen to 76. House is nicely equipped with Kitchen necessities. Nice backyard area with a hiking path and we enjoyed the hot tub on the chilly evenings. Thank you for sharing your home. Shannon and Family

Phenomenal Stay

This home has everything you'll need for a relaxing, quiet stay. We've never seen such a fully equipped kitchen - made for seamless cooking and baking. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out or come together. And the entire house is clean and comfortable. Property management and cleaning crew were so kind and attentive. We'll most definitely be returning!

AMAZING home in Truckee!

Ten of us went up to Truckee for a ski weekend and LOVED this house so much. It is wonderfully laid out with amazing communal spaces. The kitchen was awesome for cooking at home (with two dishwashing machines!) and we had many cozy nights in front of the fireplace. Amazing home, great decor, perfect communal spaces. I can't recommend it enough!

The best getaway

Beautiful cabin!! The cabin was as great as the description: clean, spacious, beautiful, and well stocked! We especially loved the big kitchen that had every thing we needed. The big windows provided plenty of natural light. The cabin sits on a big lot so it was nice to be able to walk around in the back. There is a trail behind the house that we were able to go on for a snow walk. The cabin has a huge family room on the 2nd floor, which was really great for our infant daughter. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We plan on coming back in the future!

Beautiful property and responsive hosts

This home is exactly as pictured. Our family had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and ready for us at check in. The book with instructions for the home and suggestions for the neighborhood was complete and helpful. The property manager Kristin was very quick with communication. There were no issues with the home. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again. The only issue was with VRBO. It takes 3 weeks after the end of the rental to receive the security deposit credited back to the form of payment. Putting that here so it’s not a surprise for anyone and hopefully saves you the time I spent trying to figure that out with VRBO.
