Stylish Truckee Retreat | Deck, Near Lake & Skiing | Moraine by AvantStay

Welcome to Moraine, a stylish Lake Tahoe hideaway designed with both comfort and convenience in mind. Tucked away in the coveted Donner Lake neighborhood of Truckee, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is the perfect year-round base for outdoor adventurers, family getaways, or friends looking to relax in the heart of the Sierra.

Inside, a spacious sectional anchors the open-concept living room, inviting your group to gather for game nights or movies after a day on the lake or slopes. The adjacent dining table seats everyone comfortably, while the fully equipped kitchen ensures that homemade meals are always on the menu. With thoughtful touches like in-home laundry and ample parking, longer stays are effortless.

The home’s layout includes a cozy bunk room ideal for kids or groups needing flexible sleeping arrangements, along with two serene bedrooms for restful nights. Step outside to the expansive deck, where loungers and an outdoor dining area create the perfect setting for al fresco breakfasts or sunset happy hours.

Located just minutes from the crystal-clear waters of Donner Lake, top-tier skiing at Sugar Bowl, and the historic charm of downtown Truckee, Moraine offers easy access to all the best of North Lake Tahoe. Whether you're paddleboarding in summer, skiing in winter, or simply soaking in the mountain air, Moraine is your gateway to it all.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

Situated in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake's cobalt blue water. Whether you're looking for a day in the mountains or a cruise on the lake, you can have it all in Tahoe.

This was a great place in a quiet neighborhood, except for the construction going on next door and the house in front. But that noise was mild. We even saw a BEAR run from the side of the house to the next door house! My kids LOVED that!!!!My only recommendation, add grab bars in the bathrooms and non-slip mats in the bottom of the showers.
