About this property

STUNNING LOG HOUSE & A COOK'S PARADISE!

Nestled in the trees near the top of Skislope, a level driveway takes you to our stunning log home situated on two acres, giving it a parklike setting with privacy and elegance. Designed to evoke the feel of your own private lodge, exquisite attention was given to craftsmanship, finishes and décor. Each log was lovingly hand picked in Montana. A large bank of windows brings the outdoors in no matter the season. The spacious great room with its stone fireplace is the perfect spot to track winter snowdrifts and watch deer and birds.

Two professional bakers designed the kitchen. With prep and kitchen sinks and a large Wolf range with grill, it is easy to prepare an intimate dinner for two or a family Thanksgiving feast. The spacious open floor plan easily meets the needs of a busy family.

Designed for ease of living, there are three bedrooms: one bedroom (queen-size bed) and bathroom on the main floor for those who prefer not to use stairs. Upstairs are the en-suite master bedroom (queen-size bed), and the 3rd bedroom (full-size bed). The loft, with a couch and two twin-size daybeds, provides perfect away space for reading or watching movies. A mudroom minimizes after ski hassles, and forced air heating warms the house quickly. The wonderful wood burning fireplace further enhances the lodge-feeling.

In summer you'll find golf courses, tennis courts, an equestrian center, year-around heated swimming pools, archery, a recreation center with a fully equipped work-out facility, hot tub and sauna, recreation events, day camps, spectacular biking and hiking, and of course access to the Donner Lake Private Beach and Marina with all its water activities for endless terrific family fun, as well as great rock climbing and so much more.
Please check Tahoe Donner's website for more information at www.TahoeDonner.com.

Our property borders the Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort - you might be able to see skiers on the green "Mile Run" at the end of our property. The entrance to the Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort, the Cross Country Ski Area, and the downhill sledding and ice skating rink are mere minutes away. The upper part of our property is great for sledding!
And 20-30 minutes away are the world class ski resorts of Palisades Tahoe/Alpine Meadows, NorthStar, Boreal (Boreal also has Woodward, a fabulous action sports mountain playground), Sugar Bowl and Royal Gorge.
No shortage of things to do to be sure. Truckee has great restaurants and fun shops, Reno's airport is 30 minutes away (Truckee has a small airport), and you are close to the Nevada border for casinos, but if what you want to do is to do nothing at all, then we invite you to our home. Its tranquil beauty is guaranteed to hold you captive. In summer, stargazing while sitting around the gas fire table will make it difficult to ever think of leaving!

On a final note, this home was a labor of love. We trust that those who rent it will keep this in mind and will treat it well. It sleeps six to eight people comfortably. It is not a home for parties or groups. Kids/teenagers must be accompanied by adults.
Maximum length of stay is 14 days.

Excellent Home For Family
My family stayed at Woutje’s beautiful home for 4 nights. My husband and I were able to have our 5 adult kids + 1 girlfriend and we were in heaven. The kitchen is very well equipped. You don’t need anything. The beds were comfortable and the family room has a real fireplace so it was a perfect gathering space. We ran into a few issues, mainly ones that occur when the owner may not be in the home for a while. Woutje responded immediately and always did whatever she could to fix the problem. I believe that we were able to work together to always make things work. I definitely recommend this home. Its location is great, the host is wonderful and it’s a great place for family memories.

A dream weekend
My husband and I along with 2 other couples stayed here for a weekend in Tahoe. The house was gorgeous, so charming and had every comfort we needed. We each got our own room and full bathroom, and enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen. The location of the house is great, only 15 minutes from Truckee where we went out to dinner and got groceries. We also skied at Palisades, only 30 min away, and visited the lake! We brought our own snowshoes to the house and just a few minutes walk away is the entrance to a great hike that leads to a view of Donner Lake. Communication with Woutje was great and check-in was very easy following their detailed instructions. We would 100% stay here again!

highly recommend!!
We loved our stay at this cabin! It is a real log cabin that looks like it is out of a movie. Everything was clean, beautiful, well stocked, comfy and cozy. It had everything we needed and more, including amazing views from all the windows. The neighborhood is beautiful and close to stores, trails and outdoor spaces. And the yard and deck are amazing! We loved being able to play outside in the snow and then come back in to the fire. The host was communicative and available, and so kind. I truly recommend it, I wouldn't change a thing.

About the host

Hosted by Woutje Swets

Host profile image
This house was love at first sight for us. We love the starry nights, the snow topped trees, the huge logs that were used to build the house - it just fits like a glove any time of the year!

Why they chose this property

Summers are fabulous! There are endless things to do - water sports, a private beach and marina at Donner lake, biking and hiking, tennis, golf, horseback riding, archery - we love it all!
And we love the winter! We go skiing at Squaw, Northstar, Alpine, Boreal, Sugar Bowl, and Tahoe Donner's own Downhill Ski Resort. And then there is Royal Gorge and Tahoe Donner itself for great cross country skiing or snow shoeing. Plus ice skating in Truckee, Northstar and Squaw Valley, and we go snowshoeing right from our house!

What makes this property unique

Our house is very private. It sits on almost two acres and backs up to the Tahoe Donne Ski Resort so we can ski in and ski out. The Tahoe Donner recreation facilities are fabulous with swimming pools, a gym, restaurants, a private beach at Donner Lake, a wonderful golf course, horseback riding, nice restaurants in old town Truckee, or we drive over the border to Nevada to check out the Casinos. So much to do, but also so wonderful to stay home and cook up fabulous meals in the kitchen designed by two professional bakers!
