Photos and Description of the Truckee vacation cabin rental
3 Bedrooms & 2 Baths, Sleeps 12 in beds & more on the floor & couches

Located in Tahoe Donner Resort, Truckee, in N. Shore Tahoe.

discount for last minute, 48 hrs prior ! !

Nicely decorated with a mountain theme and rustic at the best rates. I appreciate your business and I want your repeat business. Full description of the house, further down the page.

If you want a larger 4 or 6 bedroom house (9 bdrms if you rent both houses) then check out my other house in the same neighborhood, ID# 269735 (6 or 4 bdrm)

Emailing is best but if you're in a rush...call 9am- 7pm daily, PST.

925-297-7778

General info.: Please check calendar first before you contact me. I keep it 'up to date. It is current. It is by night NOT days.

We have 'Internet connection'.

Pets are allowed at the cabin but NOT ON THE FURNITURE, ie: beds, couches, etc. Floor only. If this is not acceptable to you then please find another house. There is 1 bed there for pets. Cleaning up pet hair from the couches etc, will significantly increase your cleaning charges.

Great gently sloped yard for sledding in the winter.

The House itself: The house is just beautiful with rustic antique wall décor like skis, snowshoes, fishing gear, and mountain art. It is light and bright and open, with lots of windows, and a sunny, private location without the traffic noise of busy streets like NORTHWOODS. Very quite a private yet only a couple miles to town.

The kitchen is knotty pine and looks rustic, made to look old and handmade. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, flatware, pots/ pans etc. and has all the modern equipment for all your cooking needs. Fridge,dishwasher,stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, blender, large Crock pot and a front load washer & dryer. For dining we have a huge, 3' thick log table, 10' long that can seat up to 12 adults. The great room has 3 couches in front of a beautiful rock hearth fireplace to enjoy.

TVs: (2) with DVD and Video, 1 in the great room and another in a bedroom (aka kids room). Also a CD/radio stereo in the greatroom. Out back is a large deck with furniture for sunning.

Tahoe Donner Resort has many amenities which, as our quests, you are entitled to use them. They charge $7/per adult/per day for the use of the recreation centers with 3 pools, hot tubs, steam rooms, exercise gym rooms and ping pong table. We also have a private beach and dock on Donner Lake where you can lay in the sun on the lounges or swim, play in the sand, rent a boat and visit the snackbar. We also have an excellent golf course, tennis courts, horseback riding , a campground and a small ski resort and sledding at the Lodge in the winter. (For Add. fees).

About Tor McLean

We've owned and rented to vacationers since Dec 2003. We live in the east bay, Walnut Creek and love vacationing in beautiful Tahoe.

Tor McLean purchased this cabin in 2002
Why Tor McLean chose Truckee

We chose Tahoe Donner due to it's beauty & easy access to everything ie, skiing, lake, fishing & golf. It's only 2 mi to Hwy 80 and Reno is very close. Located only a 2-3 hr drive from the SF bay area. We love it so much we now have another house in the neighborhood. 4-6 bdrm & 3-4 bath. vrbo # 273183 Sleeps too many! Ha

Car: recommended

World, USA, California, Lake Tahoe area, Truckee, North Tahoe area, Tahoe Donner.

Snow skiing, swimming, boating, hiking, camping,

Other Activities: Kayaking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, rock climbing, basketball, shopping, boating, snowboarding, wildlife viewing.

Golf: My home is within 5 minutes to three top rated golf courses in Truckee. Considered some of the best golf courses in Tahoe.

Ski: Snow skiing is just 5-20 minutes away. The 4 best in all Tahoe are Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Northstar and Sugarbowl. We have quick access to all 4. Or we have our own small private resort just up the street, two minutes aaway, perfect for beginners. Several children's snowparks around as well. Summer mountain biking at nearby ski resorts is awesome.

Great get away for the family and friends. Great location, close to town and minutes from Tahoe Donner. I like the fact that Tor is really thorough with the instructions and info on the house when you first enter. We had a great time in the snow. I would definetly recommend if your a golfer for the summer time with 2 golf coarses nearby.

A Great Value

My group of 3 stayed here over a long weekend. The listing photos are accurate -- we loved the openness of the common area. Although we were a small group, the cabin will easily sleep much larger parties. The cabin is very well located. Truckee has a nice state park on Donner Lake that includes an interesting museum. And it's an easy drive to Lake Tahoe. We took some wonderful hikes and enjoyed Chimney beach. The house owner was incredibly responsive to emails. I can easily recommend this cabin.

Another GREAT stay! We love this cabin, its so uncluttered and clean. Our 11 year old son plays soccer and there's a wonderfully groomed field - with nets!- right behind the utility company on Donner Pass Rd. He had a lot of fun practicing his foot skills. This was a very low key vacation because we'd just come back from camping for 3 days at the coast, this cabin is great for hanging out. We had one concern and I emailed the owner and the cabin phone rang within about 5 minutes of me sending the email - and it was resolved quickly. We look forward to MANY more visits, would love to come again during the winter and enjoy some snow activities.
