About this property

Glacier View Chalet Amongst the Trees

Let your imagination begin. Put your feet up and relax next to the fire. Or sit back on the large deck and take in the sounds of the Sierras. This cozy home invites your family and friends to enjoy the alpine air and experience some time nestled amongst the firs. The living room is spacious with vaulted cathedral ceilings. A massive wall of windows rises to the roof inviting tree-filtered natural light throughout the chalet.

The roomy kitchen includes an open view to the dining and living areas. Kids and friends can belly up to the breakfast bar on four old west style, leather-topped swivel stools. The large dining table offers the setting for memorable dinners over glasses of wine and laughter. Or on warm summer nights take advantage of the Weber BBQ and picnic on the deck. After dinner enjoy one of the board games on the soft carpet before the fire.

With nearly ½ acre, the gently sloping lot backs to a green belt for hiking, playing and exploring. The neighborhood offers even more:
• The Tahoe Donner golf course, equestrian center, hiking and biking trails, bocce ball and volleyball, and tennis courts.
• Year round heated pools, steam room, sauna, hot tubs / spas, and more at Trout Creek Recreation Center and Northwoods Clubhouse.
• A short drive to world-class all-season resorts like Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Northstar, Sugarbowl and Royal Gorge.
• The Lodge Restaurant & Pub – relaxed bistro atmosphere with fine pub cuisine
• Pizza on the Hill
• The Snowplay Area for tubing and sledding on groomed runs, snowshoeing and cocoa and snacks.
• Easy access to downtown Truckee for antiquing, shopping, groceries, restaurants, cafes, pubs and more.
• And when it’s time to go home, you will already be on the west side of Truckee, well ahead of those caught up behind you in the choked traffic on Hwy 89.

Bedrooms configuration:
1. Master Suite (entire 2nd floor) – Queen bed - handmade custom log bed. Many windows and views. Private bathroom. Loft area overlooking the living area and the tree canopy outside the picture windows.

Cozy, warm and perfect!

This cabin was lovely and the online description was accurate. We arrived very late and the heat was on and the place was cozy. Very comfortable for 4 of us. The sleds were super fun too! Would absolutely stay there again and highly recommend to others!

Just right

What a sweet, comfortable home away from home for our family. A clean home, with comfy and cozy beds, well-appointed kitchen, plenty of fun games, and all of that good fresh Tahoe air. The owner made it so easy for us at every step, and we were happy to find ourselves so close to the amenities of the Trout Creek center, as well as the network of trails for summer hiking, biking, and equestrian use. So nice!

Easiest Ever

Great location, with a floor plan that could not be better! We took our three college kids there for a home town 4th of July parade, fireworks, some hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing and boating. This place was close enough to everything! During our down time we cooked in the kitchen, bbq on the grill, caught up with wi-fi, and watched some cool new shows on Netflix and Prime. Andy even alerted us to a far away fire and gave us some tips. We were all very comfortable. I would suggest replacing the rocker with a recliner, but not a big deal. We had a very peaceful and relaxing week getting to know Truckee.

Fantastic!

Everything about this home was great! We were 4 adults and 3 young kids and it was the perfect size and layout for us. The 3 kids shared the room with the bunk beds, which they loved! We loved the real fireplace too and there was loads of pre-chopped wood available for us to get a good fire going each evening. Also behind the house is a slope just about steep enough for the kids to have some fun with the sleds in the snow. Great fun! Location is also really good. We did the TahoeDonner downhill ski and cross country ski which are both about a 5 minute drive away. Also drove over to Squaw for some tubing and more skiing and that was only about a 20 minute drive. We've been to this area before but this was definitely the best home we've stayed in and we will definitely be back again at some point!

!

We stayed in summer for one week - two adults and four kids (tweens & teens). The house is plenty big. The four kids shared the bunk bed room. The kitchen has lots of supplies that were very helpful, including a full selection of Ziploc bags (these definitely came in handy)! The kitchen cutting knives could use sharpening, but that's a minor complaint. One suggestion for the master bedroom: there are no nightstands. It's really handy to have a place next to the bed to put a water bottle, a clock or watch, a book, etc., besides on the floor. The space available on the sides of the bed is limited, but small end tables could fit there. Overall, this place is great. It's in a nice, quiet location close to lots of Tahoe Donner & Truckee amenities. The house is spacious and comfy, and the owner responded to all our requests promptly.

Perfect Ski Week Getaway!

We had a fabulous time at this beautiful A-frame home. It is in a great location - right in the middle of Tahoe Donner with easy access to Truckee, Sugar Bowl, Palisades Tahoe, and Alpine Meadows ski resorts. I loved the tall windows which allowed in a lot of natural sunlight and you could stare up into the beautiful trees surrounding the home. Communication with very seamless with Andy - he usually responded within a few minutes. Check in/check out was also really easy with a lockbox at the house. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and I would absolutely recommend this home for your next Tahoe getaway!

Spring Break fun for the whole family

We all enjoyed our time at Glacier View Chalet; the proximity to Donner & all that Truckee has to offer made it a perfect location for us. The kids had lots of fun both in the back yard & inside watching movies & playing hours of games. The kitchen was easy to use with all the amenities of home allowing us to have most of our meals in the comfortable dining area. Hope to visit this rental again!

Perfect Ski Weekend

Our family had the perfect weekend staying at Glacier View Chalet. I loved that our older kids could go skiing at Tahoe Donner, and our little one could go tubing - all within a 10-minute drive of the house. Being so close to both places made it easy to come back to the house for breaks/lunch. The house itself is cozy, super well-stocked, very clean and comfy. The kids were even able to sled and have snowball fights right behind the house, so there was plenty of easily accessible outdoor fun to be had. We are definitely bookmarking this home for future trips!

We have stayed in this area many times at different homes. We were very happy with this home and will stay here again. -The house heater worked very well (we have been in other homes that are freezing in certain areas of the house) -the mattresses were super comfy (not always the case at other homes) - The driveway was plowed daily (super important as we have been stuck in homes before) - The owners were very responsive Definitely recommend!!

Cozy and fun

We had a great time staying at this house over Super Bowl weekend. We love the Tahoe Donner neighborhood so this location was great. It had snowed several feet the week before so our kids had a great time sledding in the large yard. The house was cozy and warm and had everything we needed for a fun weekend away from home

Perfect cozy cabin

This cabin was so comfortable and cozy for our family of 6 for our annual ski trip. Just 25 minutes from Donner Ski Ranch, less than 10 to downtown Truckee for takeout, perfect side yard for a little sledding with the young kids - it was just what we needed. This cabin is priced right and would definitely recommend it.

Hidden Gem

We were first thinking this trip wouldn't happen due to COVID but it did and we have zero regrets! After experiencing cabin fever we just needed to get away. Andy's home was just what we needed. Not being able to get out and explore much was fine with us. There was plenty to keep us busy inside. Lots of games, the cozy fire, the large windows displaying the beautiful snowy winter scene... I could go on and on but you should experience it for yourself. The Truckee Donner community is definitely a hidden gem in the Sierras!

Comfortable getaway

Andy was very easy to communicate with and we had no trouble with the property. Home was clean and had the essentials we needed (a new sponge and additional dish towels/extra rolls of paper towels were the only pieces missing). WiFi worked well for up in the mountains. Comfortable stay for 4 adults for a long weekend. Would visit again!
