Permit #: 001136
Occupancy: 8

In summer or winter (or anytime in-between), this 3BR/2.5BA chalet is convenient to the most exciting activities in Tahoe. Between water sports and fun 4th of July celebrations at Donner Lake and some of the best skiing in the Sierra, you'll never run short of things to do.

INSIDE THE CHALET

The open living space is just as fun and social as your vacation plans. It boasts vaulted ceilings and tons of natural light thanks to its magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as a gas fireplace for chilly nights, a big screen TV, sound bar, and a cozy seating area for five.

There's additional seating for three at the kitchen bar: perfect for keeping the cook company. And there are perks for the cook, too: granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, plus a wine rack.

Six can dine at the table -- or take your food outside onto the sprawling deck, complete with a table and seating for four in the shade of the surrounding pines. There's one more option in the living area: a unique console dining table that seats three.

You'll find an additional living area upstairs in the loft. This movie room is equipped with a 52-inch TV and DVD player. There's also lots of extra sleeping room up here, with both a queen and a twin pull-out couch, and a half bath.

There's plenty more sleeping space on the main floor. The primary bedroom has a queen bed and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is outfitted with a king bed and can easily use the half bath upstairs and shares access to the primary en-suite bathroom, or use a third en-suite bathroom downstairs on the lower floor near the third bedroom, which sleeps three between a queen bed and a twin sleeper sofa. Perfect for a family with young children, the third bedroom also boasts its own thermostat-controlled gas fireplace!

EXTRA PERKS & MORE DETAILS

Park your vehicles in the two-car garage. Bringing your RV or boat? Park it right on the property!

Eight maximum number of occupants (excluding children under 13 years of age) permitted.

THE LOCATION

It's hard to get closer to the action than this. This chalet is only a 12-minute walk to West End Beach, a great spot for families. With a roped-off swimming area, volleyball nets, and watersports rentals, you'll find plenty to do. West End Beach is also home to Truckee's annual 4th of July celebrations!

Take the 18-minute drive up Historic Highway 40 to the hiking, biking, and rock climbing at Donner Summit.

For wintertime visitors, your home is central to Tahoe's best skiing. Sugar Bowl and Donner Ski Ranch are just a 10-minute drive away on Old Highway 40. Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, and Northstar are just a 30-minute drive away. Cross-country skiers will love the trails at Royal Gorge, a 17-minute drive, and Donner Memorial State Park, 8 minutes away by car.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Donner Lake

The house was perfect for our visit to Donner Lake. It is on a quiet street and the neighborhood is great for walking. The public beach is a great way to spend the day and the Little Truckee ice cream shop is a must. The house had everything we needed for a great stay.

Nice home in great location

The home was nice and comfortable. Walking distance to the lake (west end beach) and the pub. Short drive to the market and other restaurants. A short drive to downtown truckee and Tahoe Donner. The beds were super comfortable and the home had a nice, spacious layout. Would recommend.

Better than expected

Home was very clean - we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. Spacious deck off the dining and living room and a quiet yard with chairs, great for reaxing! Kitchen was well equipped, there were plenty of bath towels, soap, tp and shampoo. Darling neighborhood with friendly neighbors!

I have rented in the West End since I was a child with my parents and this was my first time at this particular cabin. It was exceptionally clean, comfortable and spacious. Look forward to returning!

Lovely rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed this rental for our family vacation with 4 couples and a couple toddlers. The rooms were comfortable and the loft with the pullout worked fine for the extra couple. Communication from TurnKey was great, the property was really clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. We also loved the location - close to the freeway, near the beautiful lake, and a short drive to a handful of ski resorts (Boreal, Sugar Bowl, Soda Springs, and Tahoe Donner). My only tiny gripes are that the TV downstairs is really tiny, the sound protection from room to room isn't great, and we had to space out quick showers to avoid running out of hot water. Overall a really comfortable place to stay for a few couples!

Perfect for the family!

In the past I have rented several cabins. This cabin was cleaned well. I would of liked to see another refrigerator in the garage to help with a weeks worth of food but overall I would recommend this cabin to any family.

Fantastic Stay at Donner Lake

The house was spacious and a perfect "base camp" for our week in Tahoe/Donner. We hiked the 7 mile trail around Donner Lake and discovered the perfect beach to come back to later in the week - China Cove. Great kitchen where we cooked most nights; Truckee dining is impossible (restaurants are short-staffed and by reservation only). Would definitely stay here again.

WOULD OF BEEN PERFECT.....BEWARE OF DOG HAIR EVERYWHERE!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: WHEN WE RENTED THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME....I READ THE INFORMATION REAL WELL TO MAKE SURE THERE WERE NO ANIMALS AT THIS RENTAL. I THOUGHT WE WERE FREE AND CLEAR SINCE MY DAUGHTER IS EXTREMEMLY ALLERGIC TO PET HAIR AND DANDER. AFTER SEVERAL TEXTS BACK AND FOURTH WITH TURNKEY.. WHICH TRIED TO BE HELPFUL WITH FINDING OUT WHY WE HAD HAIR ON THE COMFORTERS, THE MOVIE ROOM COUCHES AND THE DOWNSTAIRS AREA. I HONESTLY THOUGHT SOMEONE RENTED THE PLACE AND SNUCK IN A DOG BECAUSE THE PROPERTY IS A NO DOG RENTAL. I FOUND OUT LATER THE OWNER HAS A DOG. NO DISCLOSURE ANYWHERE FOR PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES FROM ANIMALS. WE ARE GOOD RENTERS AND WERE ASKED TO HELP OUT THE CLEANERS S0 THE TOWELS WERE WASHED, SHEETS OFF BEDS AND GARBAGE TAKEN OUT..... I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT MY CLEANING DEPOSIT WAS FOR???? I'M NOT ONE TO EVER WRITE A REVIEW BUT HONESTLY WE WERE SO EXCITED ABOUT OUR STAY AND TRULY THE HOME WOULD OF BEEN PERFECT IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY DAUGHTER AND HAVING TO SLEEP AND SIT WITH THE DOG!!

Loved It!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were 3 couples plus a 3yo and 6 month old. We loved the big windows, the deck, the dining table, the comfortable bedrooms and nice bathrooms. The kitchen was nice for cooking and to be included in the living area. It was great having a bbq and the garage. The location allowed lovely walks to the beach and in the neighborhood. 2 suggestions are a good can opener, and it was confusing to try to store food we brought that didn't belong in the refrig. We managed though. It was a great location and very nice home!

The home was well stocked— way more than most rentals we’ve stayed in (extra sheets, blankets, towels, spices, laundry soap, even shampoo and conditioner for several days)The beds were comfortable and the 3 bathrooms were so great. Clean and updated is what I look for and found here! The use of the garage and beach chairs was very nice. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Good cabin with good beach access

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice cabin -- updated with nice cabin feel on a quiet street, within a mile from the West End Beach on Donner Lake (best beach location on Donner). It's a bit a drive for essentials in Truckee (about 15 minutes), but nothing too inconvenient. One downside for the summer is there is no A/C: Normally this is fine in Tahoe due to big drops in temps overnight, but we had a string of 90+ degree days, so some of the nights were uncomfortable. But in general, the cabin was really nice and plenty of room for me, my wife, our three young kids and my mother-in-law.

Perfect for families!

This amazing cabin was perfect for our two families (4 adults, 3 kids). It's located in a nice neighborhood near Donner Lake (we'd love to come back in the summer!) and just a short drive to Safeway and downtown Truckee. We skied at Boreal which was convenient - about 15 minutes away - and perfect for our kids. The living area is open and spacious and the kitchen is fully stocked so we were able to enjoy home cooked meals our entire stay. The kids all slept in the loft area which they loved. The backyard was nice and safe for playing in the snow also. The rental process was super easy. We'll definitely stay here again!

Small maintenance issue was handled professionally and with limited interference with our stay. The Turnkey team seemed really on top of it.
