Perched atop Tahoe Donner and just a half-mile walk from the Alder Creek Adventure Center and Cross Country Ski Center, this beautifully updated Truckee vacation rental offers the ideal mountain getaway for families, remote workers, and outdoor enthusiasts. The main living area features an open vaulted ceiling, abundant natural light, and expansive windows showcasing stunning views of the Tahoe Donner Ski Hill, the Pacific Crest, and the Carson Range.
Perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure, the spacious great room includes a cozy seating area around the gas fireplace and an additional sofa for TV viewing. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into the dining area—seating eight—and the fully equipped kitchen, complete with a gas range, ample cookware and dishware, and a central island with bar-stool seating.
The main-floor Primary Bedroom provides a peaceful retreat with a king bed, flat-screen TV, and its own dedicated workstation, plus an ensuite bath featuring a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, and make-up vanity.
Downstairs, two additional king bedrooms each feature their own in-room workstation desks—making this home exceptionally work-from-home friendly. One of these bedrooms includes private ensuite-style access to the hall bathroom, which is shared with the other downstairs bedroom and bonus room. A versatile bonus room adds even more functionality, offering extra sleeping space with a twin-over-twin bunk bed, a sofa, a flat-screen TV, and direct access to the private outdoor hot tub.
During the summer months, enjoy three separate outdoor decks and easy access to the level open space behind the home. With its stunning views, modern comforts, dedicated workspaces in every bedroom, and close proximity to year-round recreation, this Tahoe Donner vacation home is the perfect base for your next Truckee retreat.
