Great Tahoe Donner Spot
This Beautiful Home is Perfect Spot to Stay in Truckee
Contemporary Retreat at Tahoe Donner is wonderful home for visiting the Truckee - Tahoe area. It was the perfect size for our family of 5, with plenty of room to stretch out. The home was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The home is fairly new and the kitchen, bathrooms and all of the finishes felt new, clean and modern. We had no problem cooking meals and making coffee in the kitchen. The fireplace was easy to use and kept the downstairs VERY warm. There were amenities for our dog, including a dog bed and food and water bowls. It was an easy drive into Truckee proper for shopping and coffee. The neighborhood itself is beautiful and quiet, and we loved taking in the view of the snow and trees from the large living room windows. The absolute best thing about the house is that you can sled right outside the back sliding door with the sleds and saucers provided by the owners. Our kids had a wonderful white Christmas and spent a ton of time sledding and playing in the snow blanketing the whole neighborhood. We loved staying here and would absolutely recommend to friends.
We didn't want to leave!
The Contemporary Retreat in Tahoe Donner is a fantastic cabin. It looks great in the photos, but they don't do it justice. It's very well-appointed - everything you need is at your fingertips. We loved the open space out back and the hot tub. Great spot, thanks for the stay!
Great winter rental
This well equipped modern house was great for our new year ski trip. Nice & comfortable house for our group of 2 adults and 3 kids. Fireplace pumped out some good heat to warm the great room and the hot tub was perfect on the cold nights. We stayed during a big winter storm, and the snow plow came overnight and cleared the driveway to make sure we could get out in the morning. The property in the back was perfect for the kids to build a snow trail for sledding. I suggest bringing your own pillows, as theirs are like sand bags, but that's a minor complaint. Btw - being bear aware even during the winter is no joke, during our 1st night there, the neighbor forgot to close his garage door, and 3 bears were feasting on the garbage in the garage. We were able to get the resident's attention, and he was able to chase them off. It created some excitement. This house is close to to all the amenities central Truckee, Sugar Bowl, Northstar, and Squaw.
Much more than expected
Stayed here 4 nights with my daughters & granddaughters for our annual “girls only” get away. The house is beautiful & very accommodating for all of us. The young adults could watch tv until late and the noise wasn't heard in any bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked, the hot tub was amazing (a wonderful morning routine), the private beach provided us with a whole day of entertainment as well as the local bike and hiking trails. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the folks at Tahoe Getaways were great. We'll be back!
Another Wonderful Stay!
We absolutely love this home! Great layout, great access to the snow play areas near the hot tub on the deck on the back yard, clean unit and fabulous location. This is our second time back and we plan to return again! Great customer service as well, they are very prompt to any questions you may have. See you next year!
Perfect Place!
The house is ideally located, both spacious and cozy, clean and wonderfully renovated, nicely furnished and tastefully decorated. It provides both privacy -- with well-spaced bedrooms each with their own bath-- and a lovely, comfortable common space. Big picture windows look out onto trees, providing a secluded feeling. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus and clean as a whistle. I loved this house!
4 Star
Nice house with all the amenities and nice upgrades. Just a few things that caught our attention and suggestions: 1. The ability to get hot water is terrible, you have to run faucets for over 5 min. This is just not acceptable, especially in a serious drought year. We actually grabbed buckets at the store to collect water. In a newer house this shouldn’t be the case. 2. The circuit breaker on the microwave was tripped a handful of times. No excessive load in the house so couldn’t figure out why. 3. The sink plunger in the upstairs master bath does not work (right side) and the left side is just missing. This really should be fixed. My husband wears contacts and it’s nice to have this there. 4. The interconnection of the fireplace and the main house thermostat is not great, especially when it gets cold. We have a gas fireplace in our home and it’s on a separate thermostat. We also have one at our house in Deer Valley which is on a separate thermostat and it is so much better, especially when it gets really cold. 5. Lack of a closet in the master upstairs bedroom was odd. I’d install hooks on the wall behind the door. I would not want to put my ski clothes or other nice things in the bathroom which gets damp. 6. It would be nice to have a small gas firepit on the back deck. I’d also install some fun party lights off the back deck,it’s very dark at night out there, especially when hot tubbing.

4 Star
I loved staying at this house in Tahoe Donner. The house is so well done and comfortable. I really enjoyed my stay minus the power outage. Of course, I know this can't be helped but better preparing the house with flashlights and backup portable generators would have really helped. Also, sending out messages to your guests to let them know the estimated time for power restoration and asking if your guests are in need of anything, would have been really beneficial. I was packing up to go home because I couldn't stay without heat for the night, just as I had my last bag pack the power came back on. I called Tahoe Getaways several times to ask for help but received no callback. A protocol should be put in place for such events. Thanks very much for your consideration.

Two Small for Six People
The house is well located and well furnished but is just too small for 4 adults, 2 children and a dog. The house is a lot smaller than pictured on the website. The photos show a spacious dining area that is actually very cramped up against the sofa so the bench wasn't used at all. The kitchen is open and functional except there is no pantry or food storage so the counters are completely covered. The sink in the queen bath needs to be cleaned out and the garbage disposal sounds like it has a screw loose.

Best snow retreat ever!
It's not easy to find a comfortable vacation house for a family of five and the dog, but this retreat had every amenity one could ask for, including an amazing hot tub right outside the back door. There is a hill for sledding in the backyard and easily accessible trails everywhere. It was easy to cook at home and there were great eats in town as well. So spacious, with plenty of room to play games and snuggle up by the fire. With slopes just a few minutes away, we have never felt so spoiled. We would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for the ultimate snow retreat.
5 Star
Perfect mountain retreat with kids and dogs. Open space for snow play/off-leash dog play out the back door, close proximity to dog-friendly xc skiing at Royal Gorge and Tahoe Donner, and quick access to dog-friendly mellow ski touring in Sunrise Bowl. House is impeccably appointed yet dog proof. Wonderful family spot.
Spacious and Modern Tahoe Retreat
We absolutely loved staying here in early October! The home is located in a quiet neighborhood, but super close to all the shopping & dining in downtown Truckee. Great location! The home is very clean and well-appointed with everything you could need. We loved playing board games and watching movies in the open living room with the modern gas fireplace roaring (so convenient to flick a switch instead of building a fire)! Plenty of room to spread out too. I brought some work with me and enjoyed lounging on the comfy chaise in a cozy corner by the fire while I worked. Took numerous walks around the neighborhood and enjoyed the crisp air and beautiful trees. The home also felt very private. I would recommend staying here...we'll be back!
Already planning our next trip back!
Loved this home and Truckee! Everything was perfect from the contemporary accommodations throughout the home to the most beautiful backyard to be among the trees in. Clean and so cozy! Tahoe Getaways was so timely in their communications with us and everyone was so nice to work with! We will be back!
Fantastic property and stay!
Fantastic home in great neighborhood! Location perfect... just close enough to everything we wanted to do! Loved being able to return after busy day of outdoor activities to a place that felt entirely our own. Kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to plan and prepare your own meals, and all appliances are spotlessly clean, modern and function perfectly. Very comfortable beds, everything immaculately clean and easy to use. Excellent wifi, innumerable entertainment options when winding down at the end of the day. Modern, immaculately clean and well functioning hot tub. Hot tub on back porch overlooks very private feeling large lot, a great place to supervise younger children whilst unwinding at the end of the day in style. No complaints, will definitely be returning in the future!
Needs better cleaning
The water in the hot tub was yellow. The lid to open it was extremely heavy and that was after the bar was fixed. The lid fills with water plus it is the winter lid. The home needed a good vacuuming and wipe down when we arrived. Dust bunnies crumbs and hair on the kitchen floor and trash cans with no liners put in and trash on floor behind trash can in bathroom. Spent the first 2 hours cleaning. The sheets had dog hair all over them as did the sofa and it was clear the duvet cover had not been washed. This was my 3rd year in a row staying here and it needs better cleaning especially during Covid. I loved this property so much because I saw minimal bugs and webs but this time was different. Webs all around the house and we couldn’t even sit on chairs outside. We spent minimal time as possible in the cabin due to these reasons. I suggest stepping up the cleaning crew or have more than one person cleaning the cabin Becca corners are being cut.

Contemporary Donner
This is the second time we stayed here so obviously we enjoyed the location and the rental. Just wanted to say that the WiFi and television never really worked and we decided not to waste time trying to trouble shoot it. If changes are made it would be nice to connect to ones own Apple TV for instance. Thanks for a great retreat in Tahoe.

The Perfect Spot
When traveling with young kids and a dog it can be tough to find a place that lets you relax like home. This house was perfect! It was minimalist enough to keep curious hands and paws at bay. But also had all the essentials and a touch more (ie dog bed, dog toys, sleds, heaters, etc) We had plenty of snow when we were there! The property has a hill just behind the house that the kids could sled on and a walking trail as well for snowshoeing. Downtown is only 10 minutes away. The house was clean and did not smell. The bedrooms were quiet and the beds were very comfortable. We all slept well! We would love to stay here again!
beautiful home
This home was really wonderful on a very quiet flat street. It was clean and roomy. The only reason why I wouldn't give it a 5 star is that the amenities such as paper towels and foil wrap were not there. If I am on vacation for a weekend, I don't want to purchase those items when I have spent over $1,000 for two nights. Otherwise very nice home.

Great family retreat
The package we chose made for a wonderful vacation. The modern house offered everything we needed, from spacious bedrooms with dedicated bathroom, to cozy living room, from state-of-the-art kitchen and appliances to awesome forest view from the modern hot tub. Super quiet with no busy roads or intersections around. The 10 minutes-drive to businesses and stores was no problem and Donner Lake is amazing. To top it all, the entire vacation was a blast for our big puppy. Questions were answered before asking … or slightly afterwards. Already looking forward to our next vacation here!
Amazing!
Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 boys, ages 8 and 10), stayed in his house for a ski weekend, and we loved it! What a fantastic rental house in the mountains! This house is in a great location - close to downtown Truckee with all of the great shops and restaurants, and easy access to drive to the lake and ski resorts.The house is a beautiful blend of modern design and mountain cabin retreat. Everything feels clean, fresh, and comfortable. The layout is fantastic, with 2 bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms upstairs, and a bedroom and bathroom on the bottom level, so everyone can have their own private spaces. The large great room is airy and bright, with a convenient, well-stocked kitchen and a lovely dining and living area. The hot tub on the patio was also a big hit with our family - we all looked forward to a relaxing soak at the end of a day on the slopes!Also nice spacious 2 car garage. We had great communication with rental office - they called on the day of our arrival to confirm details and instructions.All in all, a wonderful stay!
Fabulous
Beautiful, spacious, and spotless home! Comfortable beds!
Great Tahoe-Donner house
Super clean, nicely appointed house. A definite do-over - with dog or without!
Gorgeous Cabin
What a beautiful little cabin! Love all the cozy touches and comfy furnishings. We had such a pleasant stay that we have marked this home as one of our favorites. We will be repeat customers! Thank you!
Amazing home with woodsy backyard
This was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. It offered peace and quiet with extremely comfortable beds and all the conveniences of home. Our favorite place to relax was the back porch that offered a tranquil spot for morning coffee while the sun pierced through the trees. The hot tub in the back was also a great place to relax after a day of hiking! The house is conveniently located near Truckee and less than half hour drive to Tahoe City. We explored all that the area had to offer! We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway with plenty of hiking and outdoor activities!
Relaxing Getaway
This is the perfect home to relax and soak in all the comforts of Tahoe! It is spacious and well suited for a small group or even a getaway for two. The woodsy backyard /deck offers privacy and a great place to have morning coffee. It’s very clean and conveniently located. Lots of amenities as well. Only a 5 min drive to Truckee and less than half hour to Tahoe City. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to all our friends!
contemporary retreat
Very enjoyable. Everything you could want.
Perfect Getaway
Awesome pet friendly home for the three kids and two small dogs. Clean and well stocked. Only complaint is inaccurate fee posting at booking regarding access to HOA pools and beach. Group of 5 pays $60 per day to access

Summer fun in Tahoe Donner
Thanks so much for a great stay in Tahoe Donner. The house was well designed and appointed. We found everything we needed from beach towels and chairs to a fully equipped kitchen and family games. The nicest touch were the dog toys, bowls and bed though! Thank you for welcoming our furry family member so warmly. We will be back again!
beautiful, immaculate gem in Tahoe Donner
Our family LOVED LOVED our stay here. Over the years, I've been to a number of cabins around Tahoe (airbnb, VRBO, etc) and this was by far and away the nicest. It's really rare to find such a clean, modern, and fully equipped place - and dogs are allowed too!<br/><br/>The property is incredible and right out the back it is open space and there is a trail to walk along. We saw deer almost every night. The hot tub on the back porch also is perfect for relaxing at the end of the day.<br/><br/>Inside, it's wonderfully styled with a mix of modern and rustic elements. The place is immaculate and the bedrooms are huge. We enjoyed cooking together and sharing meals around the big kitchen table.<br/><br/>Overall this is an incredible find and not to be missed if you're thinking about coming to the tahoe area. Very very happy we stayed here!
Perfect house
This house was awesome! Great location and amenities.
Clean new home in great location
Pleasantly surprised with the backyard view. It backs to a trail, has a picnic table and plenty of room to roam around. Perfect for dogs as well. The house is fully equipped with dog bed, food dishes, kennel and toys. We didn’t bring our pet but made me wish I did. Also had plenty of beach towels and we found beach chairs in the garage. Not all renters provide these. These items were not mentioned in the description so I was pleasantly surprised. The home still smells new and was very clean. Great location to HOA amenities and beach. The children’s bunk room was on the bottom level far from the master. Might not be ok for smaller kids but gives privacy as well. Everyone had their own private bathroom. Great for several families to share. Kitchen had every utensil needed. Only suggestion would be to have a few more games or movies or Tv’s in other bedrooms beside the master. All in all great place, nicely decorated and I would rent again.
Amazing
Me and my family we absolutely loved it we will definitely be back in September to the same property everything was spotless and beautiful inside the cabin as well as great neighbors it was an Amazing experience that my family will never forget. Thank you to all the employees at Tahoe Getaways they are Amazing very professional and helpful. Thank you!
Awesome
Our stay was amazing. What a great place! The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms were lovely! My sister in law just couldn't stop raving about the kitchen/living layout. It was so user friendly and great for families. The couch was so comfortable. I loved the hot tub- it was clean and well maintained along with the entire house. The house was practically new!! What a great treat. We loved all the details... the decor, the dinnerware and glassware, we couldn't have picked a better place for us.
Awesome property
Great place! Would definitely come back.
Wish we lived here!
Contemporary Retreat at Tahoe Donner, was the perfect winter getaway! Easy to get to, garage for the car, minutes to skiing and sledding, warm house, relaxing hot tub! Super clean, well appointed home! Roomier than it looks in pics! We didn't want to leave!
Beautifully Appointed Mountain Getaway
Our stay at the Contemporary Retreat was amazing. <br/><br/>The house is stunning with a view of the trees and snow out the back. The kitchen is better geared out then my home kitchen, ready for serious chef fun. The details in the house are lovely and comfortable. <br/><br/>We mostly stayed close to home; played with the dogs in the snow, went on hikes, played games, cooked lovely food, enjoying the hot tub and explored Truckee. Perfection. <br/><br/>Reality is you can choose to ski and other other outside adventures OR have an lovely relaxing stay at the house either way it truly is a retreat. <br/><br/>We will definitely be back!
Amazing place!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this peaceful, comfortable and gorgeous property. The house looks even better than it does in the pictures. The house is spotless. It is on a quiet street. The view from the back window is serene, and the main room is nice and sunny. Everything was perfect, from the the comfortable beds to the lovely furnishings. The interior is modern and stylish with high end finishes that you don't find often in Tahoe rentals. The kitchen is stocked with all the cookware you would want. The kids enjoyed the room with the bunk beds and the back yard with a place to sled just beyond. We wish we could have stayed longer and we will definitely be back!!!

Contemporary Retreat at Tahoe Donner was a perfect rental. The kitchen was well appointed. Everything worked as intended. The layout easily accommodated all of us. Super dog friendly as well. Would totally stay here again.
