Fantastic Family Adventure Home

Beautiful vacation house in the middle of a beautiful forest. The deck puts you among the trees where you can hear the wind blow and watch the tree tops sway. The workmanship in the house is a thing of beauty. We WILL be back.

We had an incredible time here. The location is perfect, the house was clean and had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and we loved spending time on the deck in the mornings and evenings. The kids never wanted to leave the loft which made it feel like even more of a quiet vacation for the adults. We’ll definitely be back.

Fantastic Multigenerational Family Vacation House

Our 3-generation family (ages 2 to 78) enjoyed a six-night stay at Shady Pines in July and we had plenty of room for everybody! The huge deck and the upstairs playroom/loft, as well as the open-plan dining room and two-level living room, make it easy to spread out comfortably. After full days at the lake, pool, golf course, or trails, we enjoyed relaxed dinners on the deck, often followed by music in the living room or ping pong and legos in the loft. Everything about this mountain retreat is perfect. It's conveniently located making it easy to take advantage of the many TahoeDonner amenities as well as go into town. We also took side trips to Lake Tahoe and to the the water park near Reno. Both easy. The kitchen is clean, modern, large and well-equipped -- perfect for making meals at home and feeding hungry kids at all times of day. The beds are really comfortable and the closet space is ample. The ceiling fans are a bonus. Bathroom towels are plush, not something you typically get in a rental house. The washer and dryer are excellent. The furnishings and decor are upscale and inviting, creating a welcome vibe that reflects the artistic sensibility of the owners. Worth noting are the lovely photographs throughout the house. These images artfully capture the beauty of the Sierra in all seasons -- which only makes me want to come back and enjoy the amenities of this lovely home winter, spring, summer and fall!

Great House!

The worst part of our visit was that it was only 3 nights everything else was perfect. Shady Pines is a fantastic holiday home. It was clean and very ready for visitors. The kitchen is wonderful especially if you are planning to cook at home and relax around a big dining table. The perfect back deck is where we started and finished our mornings and evenings. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Rented this gem twice!

I am a Truckee resident and have booked this house twice, once for extended family attending my wedding and then again for a single family visiting me. Starting with location... Tahoe Donner, where this house is located is sweet, with great amenities. This house wins the Tahoe Donner location lottery because it can be reached by Northwoods Boulevard, the go-to, OR by Alder Creek Road, which is what the locals use. The Alder Creek road does not have traffic jams EVER and is a very scenic shortcut to 89 which takes you to Northstar Ski resort. Believe me when I say close proximity to Alder Creek Road saves you hours of drive time in the winter. I love the layout of this house. The kitchen is right off the dining room and a cozy sitting area, which is perfect for socializing while putting together meals, and the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the huge deck and beyond lets in a ton of sunlight. On the food note, Z Market is about a ten minute drive from the property and is known in Truckee-Tahoe as offering a wonderful wine selection. Good gourmet items as well. The separate "rumpus" room for ping pong, video games is sound proof and great for the kids, unlike those weird two living room set-ups where you can hear each others' tv's and dialogue. This house is large, but cozy -- not a McMansion that looks and feels out of place. It feels like it belongs in the mountains. Sauna was enjoyed after skiing. I'd book it a third time!

We were in Truckee visiting our grandchildren and this house was spectacular. Plenty of room for sleepovers, a huge games room, a spacious and well equipped kitchen and a gorgeous deck which backs onto the forest. If you are hesitating at all to book this house, we recommend it highly. A quiet neighborhood close to hiking and bike trails that lead to downtown Truckee, and within easy reach of all mountain resorts.

Kitchen is new, immaculate, well furnished and stocked with everything you need to cook a gourmet dinner. The entire experience was wonderful. I’ll be back soon!

Wonderful year-round mountain retreat

This cabin was the perfect setting for a fall get-together with friends. It has been recently updated, and we particularly appreciated the well-appointed, modern kitchen. We had a great time, enjoying the crisp fall weather and smaller shoulder-season crowds. This is definitely going to be our go-to Truckee rental for trips all times of year!

Great cabin at a convenient location and with plenty of space to enjoy with a group of family or friends. Particularly loved the ping pong table and big dining room table for group dinners!

A beautiful, spacious home! We have stayed here multiple times, in winter and summer, and it is perfect for families and groups of friends in all seasons. Extremely clean, absolutely spotless, and very safe neighborhood! Easy to access from 80 and room for parking multiple cars in a flat, wide driveway. Will absolutely be staying here again!

I've stayed at this house twice - once in winter and once in summer - and I absolutely loved it both times. Truckee is a wonderful place to be year-round, and this house is just perfect for a group of friends or a family. It is in a beautiful neighborhood, surrounded by trees; you definitely feel like you are up in the mountains; and yet downtown Truckee is just a very short drive away. The house has all the amenities you could ever need including a deck to enjoy the summer sun (or winter snow!). Bedrooms and bathrooms are super clean and modern. The fireplace is easy to use and feels super cozy. I can't wait to stay here again!

This place has the best feel of any mountain home I have stayed in. It is warm, well-furnished, spacious, bathed in light, conveniently located, and just darn peaceful. Everything in the home is designed for comfort and convenience, so you don't have to worry about the basics when you are on holiday. We have stayed at this home on several occasions and never want to leave. It is close to skiing in the Winter and the clubhouses, pools, golf courses, and shopping in the Summer. Finally, the rent has always been reasonable. I recommend as one of the best values in the Tahoe area.

We loved our stay at this cozy and beautiful cabin. We easily ventured out to ski and enjoy a neighborhood walk in the snow, cooked big meals for our 6 guests in the beautiful kitchen, and enjoyed the large family room for some ping pong and a movie night. Will be back! Thank you!

Perfect House for Family Vacation

House is perfect for groups or families. We stayed with our in-laws + kids. House has game room upstairs for romping little ones, plus, multiple separate spaces to relax, sit down, and catch up with those you love throughout the living / dining / flex room. The deck was enormous and was an added bonus for those summer time drinks, dinners, etc. House was recently updated, so quite comfortable for our stay. Highly recommend and will be back.

This was a spectacular house to spend a week long vacation. The common area is large and comfortable and a great space for family and friends to gather. The kitchen is big and has all the amenities you’ll need for cooking at home. The kitchen is connected to the common space that includes a dining area, which is equipped with a large dining table, a living room with a spacious L-shaped couch, and a TV area complete with another couch, a recliner, and a TV with Roku. There is a loft upstairs with a ping pong table and another TV. The house is stocked with board games for kids and adults. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable mattresses and bedding. All of the bathrooms look recently redone. The master bath even has a large sauna to relax in! Everything was sparkling clean and all the appliances are modern. The highlight of the house may be the enormous deck, which was a great spot to barbecue and enjoy a dinner outside. It looks out to the back yard, which is big enough to give you space from the neighbors, making it a a peaceful place to get away. There is a large driveway with enough space for at least 4 cars, and the garage can fit another two. The house is close to Donner Lake and downtown Truckee, so lots of fun stuff to do. I plan to return in the winter to make use of the houses’s proximity to Palisades. Overall, I couldn’t have been happier.

Magical Getaway Perfect for a Big Family or Group!

I've stayed here two times with family (once in the winter and once in the summer) and have enjoyed this house immensely both times! It's a beautiful place with high ceilings, woodsy furnishings, fantastic views, and all the comforts of home. You can tell that whoever owns it actually uses it and gave it some personal touches and upgrades that other rentals simply don't bother with. Wouldn't hesitate to go here on a group trip again! Here are some highlights:Cleanliness: The house was pristine. The bathrooms and kitchen were spotless (and I'm pretty picky on this point), the linens were fresh, and all other eating/sitting/living areas were tidy and well-cared for.Kitchen: This kitchen is fantastic, I wish mine were this nice! It's got new and top of the line appliances and it is big enough for multiple people to be cooking/prepping meals. It was stocked with a ton of utensils, dishes, glassware, serving ware, etc. as well as some necessary dry goods like salt, pepper, and olive oil. You have every tool you need to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner if you want to. Also the big fridge was nice to have for the full week!Bathrooms: These bathrooms are recently updated and very spa-like which was wonderful after a hard day on the slopes. When we had shared one of the bathrooms with another couple, there were plenty of places to tuck your stuff out of the way when someone else was using it. Very handy! Also loved that they provide quality towels, solid TP(you know, not the singly ply crap), and small toiletries in case you forget your shampoo or soap.Hangout Space: The upstairs living area is perfect for a big group to hang out in. There's a big back porch with a table and seating outside for the summer BBQs. Inside, the kitchen, dining room, sitting area, and tv area are all connected so you can see what's going on when everyone's up there but everyone can have their own space (e.g. kids watching tv in the open air den, teenagers lounging on the couches in the living room, parents in the kitchen). There's also a cool rumpus room that's separate from this main area with a ping pong table and other games if you need a separate place for kids (or adults!) to play in, as well as a closet filled with board games. Privacy/Noise: On big group trips when everyone has different schedules or bedtimes, it's especially important that you don't feel like you're tiptoeing around each other, which is why it's quite nice that all the bedrooms are carpeted (and it's nice PLUSH carpet, not a landlord special), I think it really helps insulate noise and feels so nice in the winter! Views/Vibes: I had to work remotely a few days while up there in the winter and the views from the dining table made it way more enjoyable than working on vacation usually is. 10/10 cozy cabin vibes.Parking/Location: The driveway is big and I think you can fit at least 2-3 cars, probably 4. It's only 5-10 min from grocery stores, shops, and restaurants, which is super nice when you've traveled all day to get there or are exhausted after skiing all day.

Great Location for Tahoe Mountain Biking, Skiing and Hiking

Such a fabulous location, property and home. We mountain biked the Tahoe Rim Trail and The Flume Trail from here and it could not have been easier. Thank you for the large, clean and empty garage. Plenty of room for out bikes and tuning station. Our three families can't wait to come back and enjoy our booking for skiing this winter. We look forward to being just down the street from the Tahoe Donner X-country Center and the easy drive to Palisades/Squaw/Alpine. Five highlights for our group: The modern, large, immaculate kitchen and group dining area, THE DECK!!! Wow! the large game room, the wood stove and double living room area, and plenty of rooms and beds for our families to spread out. Thanks for setting it up so nicely and being willing to rent it out.

We loved this home. It's not too far up the mountain, so access is easy including a flat driveway right up to the front door for the winter. Beautiful inside and out. Brand new modern and fully equipped kitchen. Lots of common space for adults and separate space for kids. Beautiful deck for summer BBQ and meals. Clean and fresh house. Highly recommend. We will be back.
