About this property

Mountain a-frame cabin - hot tub - ski resorts

**A Cozy Cabin Retreat for Every Season**
Nestled in the serene PlaVada neighborhood on Donner Summit, this charming cabin offers an idyllic alpine escape for families or couples. Conveniently located off I-80 and just 15 minutes from Truckee, you’ll enjoy a secluded setting among granite outcrops and pine forests, with all the comforts of home.

**Winter Wonderland**
Step outside for snowshoeing or sledding, or take a short drive to premier ski resorts like Sugar Bowl, Boreal, Donner Ski Ranch, and Soda Springs (all within 6 miles). Looking for more? Northstar is just 22 miles away, and Palisades Tahoe is 24 miles from the cabin.

**Summer Escape**
Explore endless hiking and biking trails, climb rugged granite faces, or enjoy water activities at Donner Lake (10 minutes away). Closer to home, wade in the Yuba River or embark on nearby sections of the Pacific Crest Trail.

**Relax in Comfort**

The cabin is thoughtfully designed to provide a stress-free getaway:
→ Outdoor Deck: Lounge in the hot tub, grill on the BBQ, and savor the forest views. Feel like you’re in a treehouse as you sip your morning coffee or stargaze at night.
→ Cozy Living Room: Snuggle up by the fireplace, read a book, or watch your favorite shows on the 50’’ projector with Google TV.
→ Comfortable Bedrooms: Two bedrooms with queen beds (heated mattress pads for chilly nights) and a loft with a twin bed for an extra guest or quiet nook.
→ Modern Amenities: Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, high-pressure shower, and laundry facilities, ensuring all the comforts of home.

**Location Highlights**

→ On-site: Hike, snowshoe, sled, or fish right outside your door.
→ Nearby Skiing: 6 miles to Royal Gorge (cross-country), Sugar Bowl, Boreal, Donner Ski Ranch, and Soda Springs. 22 miles to Northstar, 24 miles to Palisades Tahoe.
→ Truckee (16 miles): Explore restaurants, shops, and activities.
→ Lake Tahoe (28 miles): Swim, boat, or paddleboard at one of the world’s most stunning alpine lakes.

**Cabin Details**

→ Sleeps 5 | 3 beds (2 queens, 1 twin) | 1 bathroom
→ Fully stocked kitchen with modern appliances
→ Hot tub on the outdoor deck (heated year-round)
→ Fast Wi-Fi with Google TV (stream your favorites with your login)
→ Kid-friendly with a Pack ‘n Play and children’s dishware

**What’s Provided**

We’ve thought of everything:
→ Linens: Including hot tub towels
→ Kitchen Essentials: Dishes, pots/pans, spices, coffee setup (drip machine, grinder, sugar, filters)
→ Bathroom Supplies: Shampoo, conditioner, hand/body soap, and more
→ Laundry: Washer, dryer, and detergent pods

**Important Notes**

→ House Rules: Failure to follow house rules will result in being asked to leave without a refund. This includes no pets, no additional guests, and no fires (candles included) due to wildfire risk. Outdoor security cameras monitor the deck and driveway for safety.
→ Winter Travel: A 4WD/AWD vehicle and chains are essential during snowy conditions. Be prepared to shovel if snowfall occurs during your stay (shovels provided).
→ Severe Weather Flexibility: Weather on Donner Summit can be unpredictable. We’re happy to adjust dates if snow impacts travel if possible, but bring enough groceries to stay cozy if you get snowed in!

**Plan Your Getaway**

This cabin is more than a rental—it’s a chance to immerse yourself in the tranquility of the mountains while staying close to world-class amenities and activities. Whether you’re here to hit the slopes, hike the trails, or simply unwind in the hot tub, we can’t wait to host you!

An excellent stay!

A great place to relax! We arrived very late at night and although Google "thought" we were going to the house next door, it was easy to figure out where we needed to go. The property is a very short distance from the nearby I-80 exit, a bonus after a full day of traveling. The home and grounds were very clean and welcoming! Everything was in good working order and we quickly acclimated to the space. The hot tub was a welcome addition after two days of skiing nearby. Our host was incredible - excellent communication, always offering detailed info and was quick to help with tips on the local area. I would gladly stay again and I would highly recommend it to anyone!
