Upscale, luxury rental with top-of-the-line appliances, a chef's kitchen, luxury furnishings, private hot tub, shuffleboard table and much more. All on a very quiet street off the coveted Swiss Lane in Tahoe Donner with a private back yard and full use of all amenities.
The main living area has an open floor plan with pine-wrapped ceilings and a fireplace. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, new cabinets, and all amenities, including microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, and all cooking items and utensils you will need. The dining room table accommodates 8 people, and there are 4 barstools at the countertop. We have two separate family rooms, one upstairs and the other downstairs, which is perfect for families with kids. The kids bunk room is also a great place for the kids.
The 4 bedrooms include: Upstairs Suite with 1 King (and additional sleeping area in closet area with Queen bed for 2 kids under age of 13); 1 Queen bedroom with office; 1 Queen bedroom with couch, TV and sliding door to back deck; and 1 kids room with 2 bunk beds (4 twin beds). (Note that the 4th bedroom and the 2nd family room are the same room. It is an oversized bedroom with couch, TV and wall bed that can be flipped up for more space.) The kids room has books and games. We supply bed linens, towels and blankets, and have a washer and dryer in the laundry room. We have high-speed cable Internet, a high-speed mesh WiFi network, telephone, Apple TV, Xbox Kinect, Wii, shuffleboard table and 2 big, flat-screen HDTVs. The WiFi signal is strong and fast throughout the house.
We are located in the Tahoe-Donner community, which has two swimming pool areas, a gym and workout facility, cross country skiing, and downhill skiing. Downtown Truckee is minutes away, and we are 15 to 30 minutes to Squaw, Alpine, Northstar, Sugar Bowl and Borreal ski resorts.
In the summer, you can enjoy the golf course, tennis courts and equestrian center, plus a private beach on Donner Lake.
The house comes with guest passes that allow up to 6 people to use the amenities for a specified charge per person each day. See tahoedonner.com website for pricing. There is a big back yard with a small creek. In the summer, you can relax on one of the two decks surrounded by pines. There are also hundreds of hiking and biking trails just minutes away, and great restaurants.
We are conveniently located at the Donner Pass Road exit off Highway 80 in the Tahoe Donner community. There are 5 driveway parking spots and 1 spot available in the garage.
Please note: Pre-approval is required for pets. We typically allow 1 well-trained dog that is more than 2 years old (no puppies). If you inquire in advance, sometimes we allow 2 dogs. We reserve the right to charge for any additional cleaning or damage. Please read House Rules below.
Please note: We do not offer refunds or rescheduling due to seasonal weather conditions or other forces of nature or force majeure. For example, there may be times in the winter when there is no snow / little snow or times when I-80 and other access roads are closed because there is too much snow. There may also be times (especially in the summer or fall) when the road access or air quality is bad due to wildfires. Similarly, when there are big snow storms, there may be times when you are stuck in the house waiting for the Town of Truckee snow plows or the Elements driveway clearing service to come to our street/driveway. In extreme conditions, there may be power outages. In recent years, there have also been times when COVID-related outbreaks have affected travel, and the pandemic/endemic nature of these problems makes it difficult to predict whether travel will be affected. By renting our house you are accepting the risk of such occurrences. As a general rule, we cannot offer refunds if any of these factors beyond our control affect your rental of our house.
SECURITY CAMERA: We have a security camera in the driveway, garage and front door doorbell.
