Moraine feels like the kind of Tahoe hideaway where mornings start on the deck beneath towering pines and evenings end around the wood-burning stove after a day on the lake or slopes. Set in Truckee’s Donner Lake neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends classic cabin warmth with easygoing mountain comfort, creating a relaxed base for year-round Sierra adventures.

Inside, the main living space is bright, open, and made for gathering. A cozy sectional sits near the TV and wood stove, while the dining table and fully equipped kitchen keep everyone connected over big breakfasts, après-ski dinners, or casual nights in. Warm wood accents, vaulted ceilings, and thoughtful cabin details give the home a lived-in, welcoming feel without sacrificing convenience.

The layout works well for families or groups, with three comfortable bedrooms, including a bunk room for flexible sleeping arrangements. In-home laundry and practical everyday amenities make longer stays simple, whether you’re coming for a weekend reset or settling in for a full Tahoe escape.

Outside, the spacious deck is a true extension of the home. Fire up the grill, gather around the picnic table under the umbrella, or stretch out on the loungers with the pine trees all around you. It’s an easy spot for sunny lunches, quiet coffee, and laid-back evenings in the fresh mountain air.

When you’re ready to explore, Donner Lake, downtown Truckee, and nearby ski resorts are all within easy reach. Spend summer days paddleboarding and swimming, winter mornings chasing fresh snow, and shoulder-season afternoons hiking, biking, or simply soaking up the slower rhythm of the mountains. Moraine keeps the best of North Lake Tahoe close while giving you a warm, woodsy place to come home to.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

Situated in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake's cobalt blue water. Whether you're looking for a day in the mountains or a cruise on the lake, you can have it all in Tahoe.

    This was a great place in a quiet neighborhood, except for the construction going on next door and the house in front. But that noise was mild. We even saw a BEAR run from the side of the house to the next door house! My kids LOVED that!!!!My only recommendation, add grab bars in the bathrooms and non-slip mats in the bottom of the showers.

    We came up for a weekend with our three little ones (7, 5, and 3). The location was perfect. Very close to fun snow activities and in a picturesque setting right by Donner Lake. The layout worked perfectly for our family. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds and we were very pleased that all the bedrooms were on the same level. The house is cozy and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again.

    This house was in a great location, close to Donner Lake, 2 minutes off the freeway, 4 minutes from the grocery stores. It was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen (cookware and plenty of dishes). There were plenty of games for us to play and the Wii was fun for the boys to play. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of blankets available to use. The towels were nice thick and good quality. Sandra was pleasant to communicate with and super easy to talk to. She answered any questions i had regarding the property. Overall, great experience and highly recommend this place.

    The check-in process was effortless. The house was clean and comfortable, although it felt small for two families and somewhat dated. A refresh of the duvet covers and basic condiments like sugar and salt in the kitchen would significantly enhance the overall feel of this house.

    We live in the Sacramento area but wanted to get away, so we chose to stay here as it was only an hour drive but felt like we were in Tahoe with the beautiful trees and Donner lake close by. It was a nice respite but only took one hour to get home! I highly recommend and would stay again! Great for families.

    Had a great experience at Sandra's house. Communication was great and prompt. House was perfect location of lake, half way from both ends. The Donner party museum, and nature walk is amazing. Fishing on west end beach was great with many activities for the family. .
