3 BR Family Friendly Updated Condo Near Ski Hill, Lake & Hiking.

You'll love this amazing family friendly location! X-country ski/snowshoe in the winter and mountain bike/hike in the spring and summer right off the back deck. Just minutes walk to Tahoe Donner Downhill and the new Adventure Center w/skiing, biking & equestrian facilities. This beautifully remodeled condo features hardwood floors, granite counters, alder trim & doors. All living space is on the first floor, with each bedroom having a queen size bed and it's own attached bath. There are ample baby and kid related items available (pack n play, rocker sleeper, high chair, booster chair, plus numerous kid friendly toys and books). The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you, with a dining area adjacent that can easily seat 6 in it's current configuration, with an option of extending the table to comfortably seat up to 8 adults when needed. The living room is well appointed with ample seating for friends and family, with an optional pullout queen size sofa bed. A corner gas burning stove is perfect for those chilly winter nights. An upstairs loft has a queen size American Leather Sleeper pullout sofa. Easy interior access from the ATTACHED garage, which has parking space for one vehicle, plus ample room to store all of your gear securely. A nice sunny deck off the living room is perfect for enjoying the Tahoe seasons, with a gas grill available. Immaculately maintained.

This is a non-smoking cabin. We love animals and pets, but unfortunately some family members have allergies, so pets are NOT allowed. You might be fortunate to watch deer walk through the back yard, see a bunny or two, Stellar Jays and other forest birds, chipmunks and squirrels, or witness beavers building their dam just down the nature trail in the meadow pond.

Tahoe Donner passes are available to our guests. Each pass allows four people access (with guest fees) to the Trout Creek Recreation Center pools, spa, gym, classes and playground; Northwoods Clubhouse pool and playground; Tahoe Donner's private beach at the east end of Donner Lake where kayaks, paddle boards, canoes can be rented or picnic area, sandy beach play and swimming area can be enjoyed.

Top activities include hiking, biking, swimming, golfing, kayaking, skiing, snowshoeing, stargazing, relaxing. Visit Tahoe Donner's website for upcoming seasonal events.

It is a High Sierra scenic 16 miles from Lake Tahoe via CA-89S and 36 miles from Reno on I-80.

Perfect!
What a comfortable and well located spot for our family of four. My kids loved the toys and there was plenty of space to spread out and relax. The slopes in the neighborhood were perfect for my kids to start learning to ski and being right next to Truckee was great. We will be back!

Great place!
Very cozy with everything you need! Our kids loved all the toys and games. Beautiful location with sledding right out back. After a heavy snow we found the parking area and streets plowed promptly- this is important when visiting Tahoe in the winter! We hope to return!

Great for families with young kids
Great stay over the holidays. Convenient location, nice set up. The best is how well stoked the home is, which is so nice to have when you have a young kid. Tons of dishes, pots, etc to eat many meals and throw it all into the dishwasher. Lots of games and toys for little ones to play. Takes a load off. Thanks James for adding the small but important touches.

Wonderful stay; spacious, clean, good layout
Stayed here twice--a couple years ago and recently (a couple weeks ago). Both times, was great. The two masters are great, and the kids enjoyed their own hideout--the loft area, which has twin bunk and a pull-out sofa, and TV. Very clean, and great communication with the owner from the instant I booked to the time I left. Feels more spacious than the photos, feels like a stand-alone home. A stone's throw from Tahoe Donner. Would definitely book here again!

Tidy condo close to skiing
Came with our family of 5 to find a cozy, well furnished condo with plenty of games, DVDs, loft lounge for the kids, and functional kitchen. Easily walked to the ski slopes (9 mins). Overall very happy with the condo. Only issue: Upstairs neighbor unfriendly and inconsiderate, hopefully you can avoid her!

Perfect Family Ski Getaway in Stunning Truckee Cabin
This beautiful, modern cabin in Truckee was the ideal getaway for our family ski trip. The kids were absolutely thrilled with the amazing amenities – they had so much fun they didn't want to leave! The cabin itself was impeccably clean and tastefully decorated, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. We loved that it was within walking distance of a smaller ski slope, perfect for our little ones to practice and build confidence. Overall, a fantastic experience and we would definitely recommend this cabin to any family looking for a memorable ski vacation!

Nice condo in Tahoe Donner
Great couple of days spent in Tahoe and this condo worked well for what we needed. Spacious (more spacious than the pictures represent) comfy and clean. Kids loved having half the garage as a playroom and we all enjoyed hiking to the cross country ski trails out back. We didn't spend much time inside and when we were inside, it's a little dark.

Great family vacation!
We are so grateful for Jame’s property! It was the perfect home away from home for our family’s first vacation since covid and our first time seeing snow. We are from Hawaii and spent many days in the backyard building snow people and sledding! James garage was well stocked with snow toys for the children. The playroom next to the kitchen was the kids’ favorite spot in the house! My apologies if my children were too loud for the neighbors. We got no complaints…but goodness, they were noisy and thoroughly enjoying themselves!! We also made great use of the gas fireplace, and the heated master bathroom. Sooo grateful as we were not used to the cold. Mahalo mahalo for the hospitality!!

We loved our stay at this condo, and it was perfect for our family (me, my husband, 3 and 1 year old kids). The kids loved the toys and the loft area was a great space for them to play. The rooms were nice, beds were comfortable and the property was very quiet. We also loved the gas fireplace! The house had most everything you would need, including soap but there was no shampoo. The kitchen was very well appointed and everything was very clean. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Tahoe!

Fantastic Place
We had a hard time leaving this property, we took our 8yr old daughter skiing at Tahoe Donner for the first time. We were literally 5 mins away from the resort which made getting there a breeze. The property is immaculate and is stocked with games and toys which our daughter loved, the owners really make sure that your stay here is perfect. I highly recommend this property for anyone who wants to experience Tahoe Donner.

Great Family Snow Weekend
The house was exactly as described and the check-in was super easy. The space was perfect for our family with two young kids with lots of toys and kids plates/silverware. It was clean and cozy. The walk to Tahoe Donner was easy and the slopes there were perfect for my 7 year old beginner skier. It was also nice to have some space right outside to play in the snow. There is a clearing behind the rental where kids had been building snow forts, snowmen and sled runs that my kids liked exploring. It was the perfect long weekend getaway, we’ll definitely consider coming back again.

About the host

Hosted by James E. Salter

Host profile image
We have traveled the world extensively, but one of our favorite places is Tahoe. Our active family of four has had many memorable seasons in Tahoe: skiing and sledding with our kids, reading stories on dark winter nights in front of the wood stove, biking and hiking lots of trails on the North Shore, watching Fourth of July fireworks at Lake Tahoe or Donner Lake, kayaking on Donner Lake, star gazing, outdoor concerts and theater productions, playing golf in the mountains where your ball travels farther, visiting nearby mining town Virginia City, or driving north to Graeagle on Highway 89. It's a sweet life. Mostly we have fun.

Why they chose this property

Living in the dense urban Bay Area, we longed to have a place where our children could play outdoors in all seasons, make forts and snow caves, watch wildlife, breathe pine-scented mountain air and observe the starry sky away from city glare. We hike, bike, ski, swim, kayak, read and play games with the family. This is a perfect get-away with easy access to many amenities within Tahoe Donner as well those within driving distance. For example: Lake Tahoe, Donner Lake, Squaw Valley, Northstar, Sugar Bowl, Emerald Bay, Shakespeare at Sand Harbor, historic Virginia City, Reno, Graeagle, Sierraville, rivers, lakes, mountains, forests, skiing, hiking, biking, wildlife and discovery!

What makes this property unique

Among many things, our lot is adjacent to a double green belt, which means there is a small pine forest next to our condo on one side and an additional stand of trees behind ending near a dry-creek bed. Trailheads are within walking distance. In winter, downhill and cross-country skiing is minutes away. In summer, we hike, swim and play golf. Tahoe Donner has an 18-hole, 7,002-yard par-72 championship golf course located on 200-acres of pristine Sierra landscape with towering pines featuring sustainable landscape practices and recognized as the “Best Greens in the Tahoe Region.” Excellent driving range, too.
