About this property
Overlook Lake View Lodge by Tahoe Getaways- Dog Friendly, HOA, Donner Lake Views + Hot Tub
Finding a perfect property for your family vacation is easier said than done, but this luxurious Tahoe Donner Vacation Rental might just be the one. This lodge inspired three-story home is doused with luxury from top to bottom. Warm mountain blends of alder, cherry, custom stonework, and fine furnishings provide plenty of mountain character.
Upon entering, you can't help but be impressed by the view that becomes the focal point of the room. You'll be drawn immediately to the back deck that overlooks Donner Lake and the surrounding mountains. Inside, the living room isn't a bad place to spend your time either and features a floor to ceiling custom granite and wood fireplace. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, and is equipped with stainless steel top-of-the line appliances including a Wolf 6 burner gas range.
The large primary suite completes the main floor and offers access to the back deck, a large flat-screen TV and ensuite bath with large glass shower. Above the great room, your guests will love the game room, offering comfy seating around the flatcreen TV, a dedicated game table, piano, and dedicated work space. A sofa sleeper is ideal for groups needing an extra sleeping space.
Downstairs hosts another spacious primary suite that ensures no one feels slighted. It also offers a king bed, direct access to the back deck (which houses the covered hot tub), as well as it's own flat screen TV, and ensuite bath with jetted bath tub and a private sauna. This floor also offers two additional guest bedrooms, and a fantastic TV room with yet another fireplace, sofa sleeper, and beverage cooler; the perfect spot for kids to snuggle up for a movie after a long day on the hill.

ABOUT THE AREA
Tahoe Donner warmly embraces all who venture within its bounds, proudly standing as one of America's largest homeowner's associations. Spanning nearly 6,500 properties and boasting 25,000 members, this breathtaking haven encompasses over 7,000 acres in the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountains. Immerse yourself in the splendor of Tahoe Donner, where pristine natural beauty reigns supreme, with its striking pine trees, glistening lakes, and majestic peaks, offering a year-round playground for outdoor enthusiasts.
In the winter, Tahoe Donner transforms into a magical wonderland, enchanting visitors with an onsite family-friendly ski resort, a developed cross-country skiing area, and a snow play area where young adventurers can happily slide down the hillside. In the summer, take advantage of the championship golf course and clubhouse, or bring the family to one of the private swimming pool complexes. Don't miss the chance to visit the private beach club nestled along the shores of Donner Lake, where you can escape the crowds and engage in paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply luxuriate on provided beach chaise lounges.
For delectable dining experiences, look no further than The Lodge Restaurant & Pub, a renowned neighborhood bistro that has garnered numerous accolades. Offering breathtaking views and an abundance of outdoor seating, this establishment is an ideal gathering spot for family and friends. For last-minute grocery essentials, Z Marketplace has a curated selection of wine and spirits, a delectable deli selection, and a daily BBQ. Additional dining options include: Pizza on the Hill, Alder Creek Cafe & Bar, Marco Polo Grill, and Ski Grill + Bar.
For regular visitors, aka weekend warriors, Tahoe Donner provides a distinct advantage over other North Shore Tahoe locations, significantly reducing the travel time from the Bay Area by approximately 45 minutes. While others find themselves in traffic, you can settle in and savor your first cocktail in the comfort of this idyllic retreat.
