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.

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!

Sparkling!

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!

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.
