The Neighborhood:
Nestled in the quiet Donner Woods neighborhood near Donner Lake, this home offers an ideal base for winter sports enthusiasts. Skiers and snowboarders are less than 15 minutes from the slopes at Sugar Bowl Resort and Donner Ski Ranch, while Royal Gorge provides North America’s largest Nordic trail network for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. For family snowplay and sledding, nearby Donner Summit and Tahoe Donner offer dedicated snow parks.

Historic Downtown Truckee is just a short drive away, featuring charming snow-covered streets filled with boutique shopping, cozy cafes, craft breweries, and fine dining. After a day on the mountain, explore local après-ski spots or head into town for fireside dinners and mountain town culture.

Getting Around:
A car with four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) with snow chains is strongly recommended for navigating Truckee and mountain passes during winter conditions. The home provides parking for four vehicles, including one covered space in the garage and three in the driveway. Public transit options are accessible in downtown Truckee, though personal transportation is required to easily reach nearby ski resorts and lakeshore trails.

Other Things to Note:
Please keep in mind that if you plan to ski, you are responsible for verifying the ski resorts' opening and closing dates.

Please note grill and patio furniture is put away for the winter season.

Please note that like most homes in the area, this home does not have A/C.

4-wheel drive or 2-wheel drive tires with snow chains may be necessary for safe travel to this property, even if it hasn't snowed in a few days.

There are 5 exterior security cameras on the property: garage, front porch, front deck, back of the garage exterior, and back patio.

Interaction with Guests:
We are offsite but available when needed. Please message us through the app or booking platform for the quickest response.
