About this property

Matterhorn Charm by Tahoe Getaways- 4 BR with Hot Tub and HOA Amenities

Ideally located on the 5th hole of the Tahoe Donner golf course, arriving at this gorgeous vacation rental is like arriving at a dear relative's home. Upon opening the door to Matterhorn Place, you will immediately feel a sense of warmth, comfort, and serenity, welcoming you to the Sierras!

This exquisite Tahoe Donner retreat offers two adjacent yet distinct social spaces within its inviting great room, making it an ideal choice for multi-generational families. A cozy seating area, complete with a large flat-screen television, provides the perfect spot for the little ones to enjoy a movie during the evenings. Meanwhile, adults can socialize in the larger seating area, adorned with a wood fireplace and a convenient wet bar. As culinary delights beckon, the spacious kitchen awaits, boasting stainless steel appliances including a double oven, a gas range on the island with five burners, and a wine cooler.

On the main floor, just past the welcoming entryway, you'll discover the Master bedroom. This tastefully appointed sanctuary features a luxurious King bed, a fireplace exuding a warm glow, and an ensuite bath. Indulge in the lavishness of the jetted tub, walk-in shower, and the convenience of a walk-in closet adjacent to the bathroom.

Climb the stairs to the home's second floor, and you'll find yourself at a large open landing, with room for an expansive Lego building session or sprawling out on the floor with a board game. Two additional queen bedrooms are also on this floor, as is an additional room, sleeping up to four on bunk beds, with large television and play area for the kids!

With only one step into the home, this property is also ideal for those traveling with a loved one who may have mobility challenges.

Amazing stay!

Could not recommend enough! Home was beautiful, very spacious with many areas to relax, with a very well appointed kitchen that made cooking easy. Location was fantastic, close to everything in Tahoe Donner (mountain biking, hiking trails, local pizza place and market) and a short drive from Truckee. A perfect place to enjoy the outdoors and wish we could have stayed longer!

Excellent property and great location

We stayed at Matterhorn with our family and quite enjoyed our stay! The property is easily accessible and close to Truckee downtown. If you plan skiing at Donner Hill, you can't beat this location. The house itself is very well-designed, furnished, and decorated. Our family had a great time at the property. We will definitely stay again.

Great home for family summer vacation. We enjoyed proximity to golf, lake, and swimming facility. The house is spacious and in great condition. Only regret is we wish we could have stayed longer.

Vacation

This is the second year we stayed at the same home and it was excellent. We had a few issues that were resolved quickly and Chris assisted us in person with one of them. Planning and looking forward the next year with the family Lord willing.

Quick Family Snow Trip

Overall was a good stay. A pitty that the Hot tub did not work. And also There are some leaks in the top floor. Besides that is mostly as described and the customer support was responsive and helped us recover a cell phone we forgot

Needs TLC

There are so many wonderful aspects to this property. Lots of light, great location, spacious great room area, sun on deck, large kitchen. Unfortunately there were just too many items in need of repair. We provided a list to the owner. The most disturbing is when more than once the mirrored doors in the guest bedroom fell on our guests. Should they decide to give this property the attention it needs we would stay again.

Good but…

The property was mostly as advertised, which was good. The spaces are very very large, which is, depending on what you want either gracious or cavernous. IMHO, it feels neglected and a bit desolate. Also, there were some problems: two windows had been broken by snow and were covered in plastic (cold air!) and one bedroom was catching drips in a bucket. One of the broken windows was over the jacuzzi in the primary bedroom which made it unusable. Also the floor in the primary bathroom was shockingly cold. The gas fireplace in the primary bedroom didn’t work and the screen above it had been removed leaving wires and brackets dangling. Last, the hot tub did work but we had to guess about the controls because the display on the control screen was broken.

Perfect Place for a Ski Weekend

What a wonderful house, perfect for our spring ski weekend. Lots of space (more than we needed!) and the house had everything we needed. We took advantage of the hot tub too! thank you!

Great Getaway!

We loved our stay! Terrific location, a great hot tub, lots of space for our family and another family and children. Our only issue was a lack of towels-- there were no wash clothes and only 6 bath towels. With folks hot tubbing and showering after outdoor activities, we ended up needing to constantly put them in the dryer and had to wash them. Also, if you plan to cook in at the house, bring all your supplies. Some houses have staples like salt, oil, pepper, some spices, but you'll need to bring your own (except salt-- we ended up buying a container and left what we didn't use!)

Solid property

Wonderful location and a great house for entertaining and having fun family time. Highly recommended. The kitchen and bathrooms were not totally clean when we arrived, which meant we had to do some cleaning, but overall it was a good experience.

Absolutely amazing property and location!!

This property is absolutely beautiful, well equipped and what was our most important criteria, SPARKLING clean!! It is located, literally, in walking distance to Donner Ski resort, in a beautiful neighborhood! The house itself has spectacular high ceiling, a great layout downstairs with two separate gathering areas, a big high resolution screen for family movie nights and if kids want to watch something of their own, there is another equally huge TV screen in the kid's room upstairs where they can rule :) !! The upstairs bedrooms are very comfortable and the special kid's room has also a well equipped office! The masterpiece of them all of course is the grand master bedroom downstairs that has it's own king size bathroom with shower and spa tub and the fireplace that is just the cherry on the cake! The kitchen is gorgeous, with all the essentials and high end appliances. Due to the pandemic there were no spices, condiments or anything perishable! We knew ahead of time and brought along everything we needed for our cooking! Of course the outdoor hot tub in the winter chill was something we LOVED! This property exceeded our expectations and was a beautiful place to have a peaceful family vacation! Our party was our family of 4 only, but this house can easily accommodate a much bigger group! So happy with this find and will definitely come back!

Best stay in the Tahoe area ever!

The house was gorgeous, spacious, and so family friendly. I enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen, the large dining room table and the spacious seating. The hot tub was wonderful after a long day in the snow. Four bedrooms and three full bathrooms make this house a place of ease and comfort. Couldn't recommend it more; we will definitely be booking this house again!!!

Great Tahoe Donner cabin

The Matterhorn is a great Tahoe Donner cabin. Things we loved: * Big place, spacious, comfortable * Very modern amenities such as a Nest thermostat, TV with Tivo + Apple TV + Nintendo Switch, very nice plates/dishes/etc. * Loved the location as we were there to take kids to Donner Ski Ranch - literally 3 minutes away Not too many negatives. I don't think there is a garage door clicker (or at least, I couldn't find it) which was a little bit annoying for coming/going. And there is no good sled hill in the backyard area. But those are nitpicks: it is a great place.
