Hot tub, AC, beautiful Tahoe Donner 4/3 house

OlgaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Leighanna’s place. The home was stocked with everything we needed. I was impressed by how clean the home was. The highlight of our stay was enjoying dinners on the deck with the peaceful surroundings. Sadly we did not get to use the hot tub as Truckee had a small heatwave the weekend we were there. The AC was a nice treat. The home is located away from the main streets and shops so it is helpful to come prepared with all the items you will need to avoid having to go up and down the hill. I did locate a nice local market on my third day that was just a few minutes away at donner that came in handy for emergency items. I would definitely recommend Leighanna’s home and I look forward to booking it again.

Kid Paradise! Tahoe Home w. Arcade-Toys-Sleds+

AlexanderRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Jennifer’s place was perfect and beautiful. My friends and I stayed there for our ski trip and it was the perfect spot. About 20 minutes from Palisades, Safeway grocery was only 8 mins from the place. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood. The house was what we expected based on the pictures and descriptions. The host was good with communication as well. I’ll definitely be looking at booking here again for our future trips

Our family of 4 has a great peaceful stay at Suzanne's home. We like staying in Tahoe Donner when possible and Suzanne's home was the a great option. She was accomodating to our request before arrival and communicated quickly with questions during our stay. The kids loved discovering the kids rocking chair, sleds, baby books and DVDs! We wished we could have stayed longer. thank you for the hospitality

Spacious and Bright Updated Mountain Home

AshkanRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I stayed at this lovely home when I was in Truckee for a wedding and it was perfect for my stay. The home was clean and cozy with clear instructions for everything. It is well stocked with plenty of kitchenware, towels, extra blankets, and more. The layout and location were ideal and in a nice quiet neighborhood. There is a big driveway and a garage you can park in. Sean was easy to communicate with and responsive. I didn't need to reach out to him, but it was nice to know he would be available. I would easily stay here again the next time I am up in the Truckee area.

Boho Bosque: Private spa in Tahoe Donner awaits!

HaleyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our stay at Mark and Chelsea’s. The cabin exceeded all expectations. The home had everything we needed including very comfortable beds, outdoor games, well stocked kitchen and fire pit we used each night for smores. We didn’t use the jacuzzi but it was clean and serviced while we were there. Our 2 year old begged to not leave and we didn’t want to either. Thank you for hosting our very special family vacay.

Mountain Modern The Tahoe A-Frame w/ Private Pier!

JessieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We spent four nights here as part of our honeymoon and absolutely loved every moment. The home was beautifully decorated, cozy, and so welcoming—it truly felt like a peaceful retreat in the woods. Nestled near the lake and surrounded by stunning trees, the setting was nothing short of magical. Everything was exactly as pictured, and the attention to detail in the decor and comfort really made it feel special. The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. One especially thoughtful touch was the homemade cookie dough waiting for us when we arrived—such a sweet and delicious way to kick off our stay! We’re so grateful we found this place. It was the perfect combination of comfort, beauty, and warmth. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene and charming escape!

Cozy Kingvale Cabin - Ski lease available

DavidRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a great stay! The cabin was very clean and thoughtfully designed with lots of details that make it feel like a high-quality retreat, especially for families. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked—much better than most rentals—and made cooking easy and enjoyable. The cabin stayed warm overnight even without turning on the heat, and the WiFi was reliable enough for a work video call. Beds and mattresses were comfortable, and there were plenty of towels and blankets for everyone. One thing to note for families with young kids: I wouldn’t recommend it for toddlers, as the stairs are steep and the heater is floor-mounted. Fortunately, our child was old enough for it not to be an issue. A small tip: the melamine plates are very cute, but not microwave-safe—learned that the hard way! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Your guide to Truckee

Welcome to Truckee

Nestled in the Sierra Nevada against the majestic backdrop of the Tahoe National Forest, Truckee comes by its frontier vibe honestly. Fortune seekers of all types made their way to this mountain outpost, from Gold Rush hopefuls en route to nearby mines to men seeking work in the booming logging industry. In 1867 the first train rolled into town on the newly forged Central Pacific Railroad, and the passengers who spilled forth were greeted by a rough-and-tumble boomtown populated with saloons and gambling halls. Truckee’s well-preserved downtown, with its brick storefronts and wooden sidewalks, is now home to boutiques, candy stores, and art galleries. Not that Truckee has gotten too highfalutin’ for its own good: this is a place where hearty diner fare lives comfortably next to farm-to-table prix-fixe menus. More than just a picturesque mountain town, Truckee is an outdoor recreation mecca situated at the nexus of several top-notch ski resorts, numerous lakes, and pristine forests criss-crossed with scenic hiking trails.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Truckee

Thanks to Truckee’s advantageous location, there are activities to enjoy here every season. During the hot summer months the streets, vacation rentals, nearby lakes, and parks course with visitors. In fall, the temperatures dip along with the crowds and the surrounding forests turn brilliant shades of yellow and red. Winter means snow and a second high season, as people flock to the nearby slopes or to traverse the powdery landscape on cross-country skis and snowshoes. Spring can still look a lot like winter in Truckee, but as the snow starts to thaw, waterfalls spring to life.


Top things to do in Truckee

Donner Lake

Lake Tahoe is the celebrity body of water around here, but smaller Donner Lake has its own charm, such as a more secluded atmosphere. A clear freshwater gem ringed by conifers and a few impressive estates, this lake is ideal for lazy days of sunning and swimming. If you’re feeling more active, kayaks, canoes, and jet skis are available to rent shoreside. The West End Beach Park has BBQs, horseshoe pits, and volleyball, and a concession stand slinging burgers, ice cream, and other treats.

Donner Memorial State Park

The name Donner is unavoidable in this area, and is attached to part of the region's darkest chapters. In 1846 a wagon train called the Donner Party attempting a shortcut through the mountains near Truckee became stranded during an unforgiving winter. Only 45 of the 91 travelers survived. A visitor center and museum displays artifacts of the doomed pioneers. Outside, a memorial statue sits atop a 22-foot granite base — the same height as the snow drifts that fateful winter.

Old Jail Museum

This circa-1875 jail once housed the brawling baddies of historic Truckee. With 32-inch stone walls, steel ceilings, and doors weighing nearly 200 pounds, it is a veritable fortress. The jail was restored in the 1970s and is now operated as a museum displaying historic photographs and artifacts significant to the town’s history, including antique ski equipment. The museum is open seasonally, so check ahead before you go.
