About this property

3 BR Bright and Cozy Cabin. Hot tub; pets considered and Close To Everything!

Bright and sunny cabin in the woods. Great open space perfect for families to hang out every season. The cabin is located 5 minutes from Donner Lake,Truckee and the Tahoe Donner pools, tennis, fitness center, golf and driving range. Two small families can comfortably fit in the house and will be sure to create fun family memories. There are 3 bedrooms (master suite with king, one queen and a double bunk room). The front yard is on a gentle slope perfect for sledding with the kids in the winter and a flat yard in the back perfect for just running around in the summer. The house has a spacious hot tub on the back patio... great in the winter and summer. There is a gas firepit in the summer you can use perfect for roasting marshmallows or just enjoying the scenery.

In the winter, it's a quick drive to the slopes...15 minutes from Sugarbowl, 20 minutes from Northstar and Squaw. You will need a 4WD or chains in the winter to access the Tahoe Donner neighborhood and to explore the area. In the summer, relax on the sunny deck or peaceful backyard or drive down the hill to Donner Lake and enjoy guest access (for a daily fee) to the private marina where you can paddleboard, sail, kayak or just relax by the lake. The house also has guest access for a daily fee to the Tahoe Donner pools, private beach marina, fitness center, equestrian center, tennis, and golf. Head out for a nature walk from the front door to check out the beaver dams and flying squirrels, climb granite boulders, explore the creek or hike/bike the miles of trails around the house. There is a new bike path that goes right into town and access to the Donner Lake Rim Trail from our house. Lake Tahoe beaches are less than a half hour away. You can white water raft the Truckee river, test your fear of heights at Treetop adventures, mountain bike and hike the many trails nearby. There are so many ways for your family to enjoy the house in every season. Please review our pet friendly rules and other house rules.

Sorry we do not accept ski leases at this time. STR21-00029

Great communications and accurate listing
We had a great stay with extended family. Nice comfortable house and everything we needed to enjoy the snow. The owner/manager was extremely responsive to questions and provided us with extra information about the snowy weather and plowing status. Only minor complaint is that there were some dirty dishes and pots.

Wonderful stay
This was the perfect retreat for our family of two adults and two young kids. Cabin has everything you need, owner was incredibly responsive, and hot tub jets were nice and strong. You can tell it’s a place where many happy memories have been created, and it just created some for us. I’m sure it will for you too.

Outstanding place to enjoy family and fun
The home was wonderful. It was perfect for our group, the hot tub was an amazing feature too. We cooked in the nicely stocked kitchen, had the fireplace on for warmth and ambiance as the snow fell, and enjoyed the hot tub, which is very hot. There were 5 adults, two teens and two dogs and the home was spacious enough for us all.

Our stay at Cabin Z was perfect. Our host Karen was very responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. We appreciated the heads up to the big storm that was heading our way! The drive to downtown Truckee and the ski resorts is an easy drive from Cabin Z! I look forward to a future stay at Cabin Z!!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Chin Zaninovich

Host profile image
We have been heading to Tahoe for years skiing in the winters. When we had our kids, we began enjoying the summers too. Now we love Tahoe every part of the year. Every time we go, it is literally a breath of fresh air from San Francisco, and it's been so fun watching our kids connect, interact and enjoy the amazing nature around them. They can be kids and jump rocks, play in the woods, swim in the lake, float down the truckee river, kayak in Donner Lake, and of course, ski. After years of renting in every season and years of looking for a home to buy, we finally decided to take the leap and purchase a home in Tahoe Donner. We can't wait to make the family memories now in the same home year after year.

Why they chose this property

Tahoe Donner was our favorite place to rent because of the wonderful community and amenities. As a guest, you have access to their fitness center, pools, tennis, etc. If you want to ski, hike, bike, swim, golf, play bocce, swing on swings, shoot hoops, archery or ride a horse, you can do all of that within Tahoe Donner. Year after year, we come back and discover new activities that Tahoe Donner has to offer. They also have so many family events all year that bring families together and make it festive for everyone.

We fell in love with this house since the set up was perfect for our family of four and knew we could invite another family to join us. It was sunny and bright with plenty of sleeping room for everyone. Its open space was great for hanging out and we loved how close it was to everything. Being near the entrance of Tahoe Donner makes getting everywhere easier and super convenient. When our kids are older, they can bike to the pools and town. We also loved looking out to the trees and woods around our house. It felt very private.
