About this property
Luxury in Tahoe, Lake & Tree Views From Every Room. Beach & Dock.
Summer: Idealistic summer family vacation.
The complex is just across the street from the lake and the rental comes with access to our walking-distance private beach which has a dock and gazebo dock, a on-water gazebo, picnic tables and a BBQ. Stop by the little ice cream shop in the afternoon on your walk back. Donner Lake is a family and boat friendly lake in the Tahoe National Forest and Recreation area. It is part of the charming town of Truckee- which has become a center for outstanding restaurants, summer outdoor dining and good shopping. Boat, paddle board, wave runner and other water sport rentals a short walk down the street. Bike and other summer sport rentals nearby.
Wintertime: Donner Lake is centrally located between the Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows, Northstar and Sugar Bowl resorts. Ski, board, snowshoe and gear shops, snow mobile rentals, tubing, dog sled and sleigh rides are all nearby.

Bedroom Configuration:
Bedroom 1: California King bed, flat screen TV, blue ray speakers
Bedroom 2: Queen bed, flat screen TV
Kids Loft Room: 3-4 twin beds. Low ceiling. Great for kids, but not suitable for adults due to low ceiling. Games, Flat screen TV and DVD,/Blue-ray player.

-more space and privacy than a high-end, multi-room, resort suite at a significantly less expense
-a choice of all of the local outdoor activities and, in the winter, your choice of ski resorts, instead of being relegated to the one where your hotel is located.
-letting the kids eat dinner in- dressed in their PJs
-drinking your own wine and lounging around in comfortable clothes with family and friends
-You want to be lakeside during the summer months. No luxury hotels exist on Donner Lake.
-evening dinners lakeside while the kids continue to play or fish as the sun sets.
-to avoid the extra expenses such as the daily resort fees, tips, and countless meals, beverages and snacks out.

About the host
Hosted by Rhonda at Starting Gate
The owners love the Tahoe area and all of the fun, healthy family recreation it provides both in the summer and winter.
Why they chose this property
This property was purchased and renovated to be state-of-art in energy efficiency, electronics and appliances with dual purpose in mind. We wanted to be able to enjoy Tahoe in hassle-free, luxury like we were staying in a penthouse, timeshare or suite at one of the top local resorts. For years, we stayed at the top hotels in the area and found that staying at a resort limited our options for places to ski, restaurants and activities. In the summertime, we found ourselves wishing for lake views and better access to all of the summertime lake activities. We searched to find just the right house or condo on and near both Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe. A 45 minute shorter commute to the Bay Area, better access to our favorite ski resorts, warmer and more family-friendly waters made Donner Lake our first choice. After three plus years of searching, we found this property and this unit. We envisioned it being brought up to date while also highlighting its really great 1972 post-modern architectural structure. We believe we have done just that are are thrilled to share it with others.
