Pet-Friendly Retreat | A/C, King Suite | Walk to Clubhouse & Dining | Near Trail

  • 🌲 Tahoe Donner Forest Hideaway | 4 Bedrooms| 3 Bathrooms | Sleeps 9 | Pet-Friendly | Central AC | Walk to Tahoe Donner Recreation Center

    ✨ Welcome to Tahoe Donner Forest Hideaway, a family- and pet-friendly 4-bedroom, 3-bath mountain retreat tucked among the pines in the heart of Tahoe Donner. With central air conditioning, pet-friendly accommodations, and the Tahoe Donner Recreation Center just a short walk away, this spacious home is the perfect year-round base for families and friends.

    Spend your summer hiking scenic forest trails, mountain biking, golfing, kayaking on Donner Lake, or enjoying Lake Tahoe's beaches. In winter, hit the slopes at Tahoe Donner Ski Resort, explore cross-country trails, go snowshoeing, or simply relax beside the impressive stone fireplace after a day in the snow. Historic downtown Truckee, local dining, shopping, and year-round outdoor recreation are all just minutes away.

    🌿 At Tahoe Signature Properties, we care for Tahoe as much as we care for our guests. Every stay helps plant a tree, and we provide eco-friendly supplies to help preserve our beautiful mountain environment.

Easy location for great skiing and exploring downtown Truckee in a quiet neighborhood. Appreciated being able to park our cars in the garage and how responsive communication was.

Gorgeous house in the middle of everything

I stayed here with my husband, dog and three adult children for a week in the summer and found this house perfect for our needs. The house is spacious, very well appointed, and within minutes of everything we needed - a short walk to Trout Creek Adventure Center and a short drive to old town Truckee, Lake Donner, and more hiking/biking trails than we could possibly use. The management company was on top of all of our questions and needs and the check-in/check-out process was super easy. We hope to return next summer for longer!

Great time in Tahoe

We had a great time staying at this lovely Tahoe home. Everything about the reservation process, check in, and check out was super easy. The house itself was nice, with lots of space. Kitchenware could be a bit better with more measuring cups, Tupperware, and foil/wrap options. Also, it was obvious that this house allows pets as there was a lot of dog hair on the carpet. This was slightly problematic for our guest with pet allergies. Otherwise, a lovely house resulting in a great vacation.

Thank you

Hello! Thank you for renting this home to us! We had a good time. We all would only suggest the drawers and cabinets get vacuumed ur cleaned if mice droppings. It grossed us out and we washed everything we used first which doesn't seem fair for the cleaning fee that's charged. We do appreciate your letting us occupy an hour early and leave an hour later! Can you please tell me when thus home is available to again in the next month please? Again thank you for your help and customer service! Carolyn Vickers
