Welcome to Family Fun in Tahoe Donner! Beautifully Decorated, Family-friendly, Toys, Games Room, Hot Tub, Decks, Hard Wood Floors, Fully Equipped Gourmet Kitchen, High Speed 1 GIG Internet... You won't find a more beautiful and fun-filled home in all of Tahoe Donner, especially at this price.

Our house has been beautifully renovated and redecorated throughout - hickory hardwood floors (carpeting in the bedrooms), 3 kings size beds, 1 queen, and one single over double log style bunkbed, 1 full size pullout couch, extra futons for sleeping on the floor, fully equipped kitchen, game room with full size full size air hockey table, foosball table, hot tub, garage, double entry flat driveway, front and back decks, designer furnishings and Italian pottery, two fireplaces, kid-friendly bedroom, and large family room/playroom with tons of toys and costumes. It is an extremely child-friendly home with an ideal setup for multiple families and friends. The bedrooms are divided up (three upstairs, two downstairs) to provide a maximum amount of privacy between the two floors.

Our family vacation home is part of the Tahoe Donner community which includes access to the recreation facilities (gym, pools, Jacuzzis, snow sledding area, children’s play areas, private beach at Donner Lake).

We have made a tremendous effort to keep our fixed costs low and to pass on the savings to our renters. We have invested in eco friendly appliances and have gone GREEN where ever possible, and hope that our renters will participate in our efforts by turning down the heat, using less electricity etc in order for us to maintain our reduced rates.

Please Note* We are a pet friendly home. We make every effort to thoroughly clean between guests, but some dog hair can sneak by.

Please contact us for prior authorization if you wish to bring a pet (dogs only).

We are 3.5 miles to Tahoe Donner downhill ski area, 3 miles to the Beach Club, 2 miles to Trout Creek Rec Center, 11 miles to Northstar and 13 miles to Squaw Valley.

Here is a detailed description of the house and its layout that we have provided for renters that can be helpful for their vacation planning:

The house is an ideal multi-family house and was designed with kids in mind. My sister and I co-own the house and we have 5 children between our two families so the place is equipped from baby age up to teen (Pac n Play, clip on high chair, lots of toys, costumes and kids dvd’s, air hockey table, foosball table, snow play area etc). It was also recently redecorated and looks fantastic.

The layout of the house is as follows… outside is semi-circular driveway that fits about 6 – 8 cars depending on snow levels in the winter, two car garage, easiest entry is through garage door into downstairs.

Downstairs level has the playroom with a couch (pullout sleeper), tv with dvd/satellite, toys, costumes, and books, two bedrooms (one king size bed, one queen size bed) and bathroom with shower over tub. The games room with a full sized air hockey table, fuzzball table, dart board, etc is also on this level.

Upstairs level has livingroom/diningroom/kitchen as one big area (65 inch flat-screen smart tv/satelitte/dvd/receiver/gaming hook ups!!) with large deck off of front with big gas BBQ (kids can play in snow on deck), dining room table that extends and can easily sit 16 or more, three bedrooms (master bedroom with king size bed and bathroom, second bedroom with king size bed, third bedroom with twin over full bunkbed), large guest bathroom with shower over tub and washer/dryer in closeted alcove. Master bedroom has smart tv and bunk bed bedroom has tv/vhs (old school). Private hot tub is outside in the backyard just behind the house.

The house is heated centrally and also has two gas fireplaces – one in family room, one in living room and additional individual room heaters for bedrooms as needed. Kitchen is fully equipped, as we love to cook and we are always disappointed when we go to a vacation rental and the kitchen is poorly furnished. House is furnished with high speed wireless internet, lots of dvd’s, videos, books, toys, costumes, and games.

Depending on the age and desired sleeping arrangements for families with children, kids are usually happiest in the bunkbed bedroom. There are also multiple additional futon mattresses stored in the downstairs bedroom closet that can be used to sleep kids on the floors – either in the bunkbed bedroom or in their parents’ rooms. Kids can also sleep on the floor of the family room dormitory style (best for older kids). The advantage to having the house divided up onto two floors is that it allows for a greater amount of privacy and noise control.

In the winter there are plenty of snow play areas around the house (depending on snow levels) including the front porch, sides and back of house, and kids can build small sled runs onto the driveway in front. Our kids will even sled down the street with a parent pulling the sled if it's icy enough.

In addition to all of the fun things available at the house you have access to the Tahoe Donner Association amenities (rec center, swimming pools, gym, spas and saunas, equestrian center, private beach at Donner Lake, snow play area with sled/inner tubes, downhill and cross country ski resorts…). You will need to take the passes in the kitchen and pay a daily access fee.

Due to issues with parties and the disturbance of our neighbors, we use a 100% privacy compliant decibel meter on the property. Tampering with or disabling is prohibited and will result in security deposit loss.

*In an effort to adapt to the changing environment, rentals made during Covid that are subject to cancellation (outside of normal cancellation window) due solely to state or local regulations will be offered alternate future dates at our discretion.

Please note that we do not refund for inclement weather or air quality. Road closures or weather conditions are not an acceptable reason for cancellation. Please consider purchasing vacation insurance If you are concerned about cancellation due to the possible above issues.

Please watch weather conditions and plan your departure accordingly. If road closures or inclement weather hinder your departure, you will be responsible for the cost of the additional night(s), assuming that we are are able to accommodate you.

    This was just about the best experience we’ve ever had renting a summer vacation rental. The house was clean, with plenty of decent towels, and a very nicely equipped kitchen, including good knives. We’ve done enough rentals that we actually bring our own, because they’re usually dull. The house was also well-stocked with toilet paper, laundry supplies, trash bags, etc. This does not always happen. We were a party of 10 adults and 4 pre-teen kids. The kids loved the air hockey, pingpong, and foosball, along with lots of other games and toys. We adults practically lived on the deck. It’s so nice! The master bedroom is extra nice with its own bathroom and deck. The whole house is roomy and comfortable.

    We had a wonderful stay here at this cabin. The house had a lot of space and fit our needs well. The layout of the house gave everyone (8 of us) space to move around and be comfortable. The house has all the things you would need and plenty of games, VHS movies, DVDs, toys, and very cute dress up clothes. The garage was a helpful dropping ground for all the outdoor stuff and also had an overflow fridge. The kitchen was well appointed with plenty of serving dishes, and containers, plates, glassware, and appliances. We did have access to some of the amenities of the HOA with the 6 STR (Short-term Rental) Passes. We used them for the Beach Club Marina, and the Pool. During the 4th of July holiday we needed to make reservations in advance and pay the day use fees. But nothing was guaranteed as members have priority. Parking at the marina was only for members but there was plenty of free street parking.Overall everyone loved the house and didn't want to leave. And everything was clean.The only things that need some TLC were the bbq grates/inside, the ceiling fan chains were disconnected In the guest rooms on main level, and some of the pans/pots are warped.Thanks for letting us stay and your wonderful home. We enjoyed every minute of it, and appreciated the care you put into the home to make sure it had everything one would need. It was family ready. We would definitely stay here again.

    We get together annually with college friends and their families. This house holds all of us comfortably. The atmosphere of the house is so inviting and the beds are super comfy. The teens love the foosball table and air hockey table. The hosts are super nice and great with communication. I highly recommend this house! We plan to stay here again next year.

    We stayed at this well equipped home in Tahoe Donner with our 2 daughters and their families, 3 couples and 3 kids, ages 3,6 and 6 It was spacious with great ability to relax and enjoy time together as well as separate area for kids to play. Wish there was a bit more snow because the area out back was great for snow play. We had no issues during our stay, but communication with owners before hand was great.

    Great location some of us enjoyed skiing some used Tahoe donner rec center others stayed home and used the hot tub. House had air hockey foosball and ping pong table with lots of extra ping pong balls (usually at most rentals they have just a few or none brought our own and didn’t need them) completely satisfied fun for the whole family

    This was our second stay at this fantastic home. It has been beautifully updated and we loved every minute of our visit. The beds are super comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and the kids had a great time with all the toys and costumes. The owners have paid attention to all the details that make a house a home. We will be back!
