King bed in the third floor ‘treehouse like’ master suite with pretty forest views.
Flowers in the secret garden (this of course varies by season)
Welcome to our secluded oasis on nearly half an acre in the forest. We are set back from the street, with a peaceful and undeveloped greenbelt behind the house. Climb the stairs to begin your "almost like a treehouse" stay with us.
Many guests consider (optional) Rainbow Hot Tub a highlight of their stay. Set it at 80 for a refreshing cool dip or soothe aching muscles at 104. Enjoy rainbow light therapy in the evening. In winter, it's often surrounded by a cathedral of snow.
You are renting the 3rd floor master BR of this beautiful chalet in the forest, plus 1 driveway parking spot near the front steps. The downstairs unit is separate with separate entrances and may be occupied by the owner or other guests.

About this property

Secret Garden MasterBR KingBed Option 2Add Spa/Pet

Get away to this peaceful master suite perched high in the trees in Tahoe Donner. Our quiet street gives ideal privacy while also being walking distance from the Lodge/Rec Center/Z Market - and only a few miles from many attractions. 6 miles to historic Truckee, 15 miles to Palisades.

King bed, large TV, large soaking tub/shower, coffee maker, mini-fridge, small microwave, hot water kettle on request, window bench, small foldable table and folding chairs for dining.

Included: 1 parking space on flat driveway.
Optional: hot tub/ pet /2nd parking (added fees - see below).

In spring/summer, enjoy our secret gardens. Your view transforms in winter to magical snowy forests.

Please read entire listing and house rules before booking.

The Tahoe area can get very HOT in the summer. We have A/C and most homes here do not have any cooling. A/C can make your vacation a LOT more comfortable.

Note: Hot tub was acting up a little bit but working now so please inquire as to its availability.

We have gorgeous daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths probably to the end of June (we planted about 2000 bulbs).

There is no thermostat in the room itself so owner relies on you to give feedback about whether it's too hot or cold for you. Let us know anytime so we can adjust the temperature remotely for you.

We do not offer any amenities that are not specified, e.g., NO laundry. There are laundromats in Truckee.

Included: 1 parking space on large flat driveway

It's a short walk 3/4 of a mile to Z Marketplace convenience store for cappuccino and pastry in the morning. Later in the day, you can walk to The Lodge restaurant for their excellent bar and restaurant (usually open Wed. through Sun.). Just down Northwoods is Pizza on the Hill. Alder Creek Cafe is also nearby.

In spring and summer, our secret gardens are a work in progress to bring beautiful flowers to terraced rock gardens around the property. We have planted thousands of bulbs for a beautiful show in spring. Our new plantings also offer autumn color.

In winter, the secret gardens are buried in snow. The view transforms into magical snowy forests.

We are also only about 3 miles from many coffee shops and restaurants in Truckee, and about 6 miles from historic Truckee.

Post-booking requirements in house rules - including $299 security deposit paid up front - must be done timely or reservation will be canceled without any refund and room offered to other guests.

Add-ons:

- We can accommodate 1 additional car for an added $50 fee collected after booking.

- Private hot tub / access optional add-on - $299 fee+tax collected after booking. Please check availability.

- 1 pet if not included at time of booking can be added on for $199+tax fee collected after booking

- 2 Tahoe Donner guest cards to access and/or get discounts the resort amenities for $30+tax (must let us know in advance if you wish to use these to give time for activation)

Guest access is by keypad on the back door of the house. Code is given at checkin time on checkin day. Please do not arrive early unless agreed and paid ahead of time for early checkin.

PLEASE NOTE: Hot tub is "private" ONLY in the sense that nobody else will use it during your stay. It is visible by several of our neighbors and from the downstairs unit on the property. The backyard where the spa is located is a SHARED space. THERE IS ZERO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY AT THE SPA. The owner or other workers may be seen near the spa or elsewhere in the shared outdoor spaces at any time.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Erika has been hosting short term rentals at this location for 20 years and is a very experienced host. Due to the pandemic and other life issues, we recently reconfigured our spaces and that is why these are "new" listings. The master BR locked off from the main home is a newer offering that has been very popular with our guests due to its serenity and value.
