About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Best Tahoe Donner Location. Limitless Hot Water. Fast WiFi.

Best location in Tahoe Donner for a wonderful mountain getaway. Upper floor (great sun!), high ceilings, clean and quite condo that has 2 bedrooms and a “den” [acts like a bedroom] (5 total beds), 2 full baths, well-appointed kitchen, and a great living room/dining room area.

This is our personal vacation home. We love comfort, and we've upgraded many features. We invite guests to enjoy what we enjoy. This is not an investment property with cheap furniture and basic amenities. Welcome to our home!

SUMMER NOTE: Air conditioning cools the living room and kitchen directly and other rooms indirectly. Samsung mini split with wireless remote. “Samsung's exclusive WindFree™* cooling technology provides users with a cool indoor climate without the discomfort of direct cold airflow. It’s an advantage no other system can match.” THIS UNIT ALSO PROVIDES ADDITIONAL HEAT IN THE WINTER, IF YOU CHOOSE.

Sleeps 6 comfortably. Eastern King bed in main bedroom with en suite main bathroom. An Eastern King bed is slightly wider and slightly shorter than a California King. Kind of like us. The mattress is the expensive, all-natural-latex, "Latex Classic" from European Sleepworks in Berkeley. The mattress is very firm and extremely comfortable. There are four (4) other firm, Twin mattress beds, two of them brand new in December, 2024.

PARKING: No more than two (2) cars. One car in the garage, which can accommodate a large SUV or smaller. Examples: Ford Explorer, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Highlander, Lexus RX, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Pilot, and more. The garage will not take a super large SUV or truck (e.g., Chevy Suburban, Chevy Tahoe, Cadillac Escalade, etc.). The second (2nd) car can park on the outdoor pad, opposite from the garage. The outdoor parking pad will accommodate any sized vehicle.

Free WiFi. Super fast, 400+ Mbps, driven by a Nighthawk AC1750 Smart WiFi router. Simultaneous dual band 5GHz and 2.4GHz.

Front door features an electronic keyless deadbolt, so you will receive a UNIQUE CODE that everyone in your party can use during your vacation stay. No need to worry about keys!

Enjoy limitless hot water! We feature a Rinnai 199,000 BTU tankless water heater. Your family can run both showers at the same time. Forever.

USB outlets in bedrooms and the kitchen to charge your mobile devices. Please use our iPhone cables, but leave them plugged in when you leave.

BEST LOCATION in Tahoe Donner. You are literally across the street from the Trout Creek Recreation Center. Also across the street from Z Marketplace (walk to pick up your sandwiches, soda, wine, beer and sundries). In the winter, it's a brief walk to the popular snowplay area.

Please note that Tahoe Donner charges fees for its amenities. For current rates, please go to Tahoe Donner's website, www.TahoeDonner.com, find amenities, then click down for the specific rates. ALSO NOTE THAT NEW RULES AT TAHOE DONNER BEGINNING IN 2025 PRIORITIZES OWNERS OVER SHORT TERM RENTAL GUESTS. YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS TO "PUBLIC AMENITIES," SUCH AS THE DOWNHILL SKI HILL; HOWEVER, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE PRIVATE TAHOE DONNER AMENITIES. YOU MUST GO TO TAHOEDONNER.COM TO KEEP UP ON THE LATEST RULES AND AVAILABILITIES.

WINTER NOTE: Our condo helps you get to the slopes first in the morning. Get the best groomed runs to yourself. This condo is located on Northwoods Blvd. Because Northwoods is the "main street" of Tahoe Donner, this road gets plowed first. That makes it easier for our contracted al with the overnight snow. You get to the slopes first!

Helpful hint: Info about road conditions:
https://roads.DOT.ca.gov/roadscell.php or call (800) 427-7623

NOTE: we have turned OFF the gas stove in the living room for safety. Apologies.

The property also features a garage and mostly-level driveway parking for additional cars, as well as a washer and dryer. The unit features internet, cable TV and land-line telephone. DVDs, games and puzzles are available for your down time.

Coffee? You choose your style. We have: 1) Keurig K-cup machine (bring your favorite pods); 2) one-cup drip cone with paper filters; 3) a Mr. Coffee Machine for the group; and 4) a French Press.

The area is crisscrossed with hiking and biking trails, and offers special events all year long. The Lodge at Tahoe Donner is one of the best restaurants in Truckee.

You are centrally located to everything Truckee has to offer: nice dining, several gorgeous golf courses, shopping, and special events. Donner Lake is just four miles, all major ski areas are just 15 miles (Palisades Tahoe [formerly Squaw Valley & Alpine], Northstar, Boreal, Sugar Bowl); and Lake Tahoe is just 20 miles away.

NOTE: One level means you are more comfortable. This unit is on a single level, on the upper floor. The single level means that heat is evenly distributed across all the rooms. Consider that in an upstairs-downstairs configuration common to other condos and town-homes, the upstair bedrooms can get "hot" while the downstairs rooms are "cold." It's simply physics: hot air rises. Choose comfort.

Please be aware that we do not allow more than 6 people to sleep at this vacation home. That's because we want to maintain this getaway as first-class. We don't want it over-used and beaten-up. So you get a well-appointed, well-maintained vacation home. NO PARTIES, EVENTS, MEALS or ACTIVITIES OF ANY KIND with anyone beyond those included in the original rental agreement. Violation of this restriction could mean immediate loss of use of the property without refunds of any kind.

Please, strictly no pets nor smoking nor vaping nor grilling.

If you need to rent baby equipment, I recommend BabyQuip. They will deliver, setup and pickup a wide variety of items, such as cribs, strollers, child carrier backpacks and more.

Altitude: You will be at 6,500 feet. That's almost 1.25 miles into the air from sea level. At sea level, oxygen in the air is 20.9%. At 6,500 feet, oxygen is only 16.3% or -22% versus sea level. Take it easy your first day. You'll mostly acclimatize in 1-3 days. :-)

ELECTRIC VEHICLES: EV charger locations can be found at:

THIS UNIT IS REGISTERED WITH BOTH TRUCKEE AND TAHOE DONNER:

* Town of Truckee 2024-25 Short-Term Rental Registration Certificate Number (RCN): #018266

*Tahoe Donner Short-Term Rental License: L19STR-0010.

There is no upper limit on the amount of damages that we will seek to recover if you cause the damages. Violations of the rules will result in potential immediate forfeiture of the vacation stay and zero return of monies. Please don't be the first one to test us.

Please note that the administration fee of $10 per night is due to the Town of Truckee imposing an annual fee over $500 per year, in addition to the 13.25% tax.

Ending on a positive note: Virtually all our guests have rated their experience the full "5 Stars." Isn't that the awesome vacation that you'd like to have as well?
