Description

Amongst spires of pine, The Fernwood Folly settles into forested hills in Tahoe Donner. This luxurious vacation rental is quintessential “mountain modern”. It features environmentally friendly materials and technology such as corten, ledgstone, redwood and cement fiber panels. Modern sensibilities and the clean lines of a more contemporary design are often labeled as cold and impersonal, but the homeowner’s furnishings definitely round out the space in a warm and comfortable spirit.

With only bears as occasional gawkers, privacy is not so much of a concern. What is, are the views. Floor to ceiling windows bring the outdoors in, so you can enjoy the open space from the comfort of the gourmet kitchen, living room, or master bedroom suite.

But why stay inside, when there is plenty to welcome you out? A full outdoor living room and dining area is situated to take full advantage of the forested setting and on the second floor deck, a hot tub awaits to enjoy a cool evening soak.

ABOUT THE AREA

Tahoe Donner is one of America’s largest homeowner’s associations, with nearly 6,500 properties and 25,000 members enjoying over 7,000 acres in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

In the winter, enjoy on site access to cross country and downhill skiing, and a snow play area which is a favorite among our younger visitors. In the summer, take advantage of the championship golf course and clubhouse, or bring the family to one of the private swimming pool complexes. You’ll also have access to a private beach club at Donner Lake, where you can avoid the crowds and spend a day paddle boarding, kayaking, or sunbathing on provided chaise lounges.

Dining options within the community include The Lodge Restaurant and Pub, winner of the 2015 Open Table Diners’ Choice Award, and Pizza on the Hill, a casual spot perfect for the whole family.

Compared to other North Shore Tahoe locations, staying in Tahoe Donner cuts the drive from the bay area down by close to 45 minutes, so you’ll be enjoying the first cocktail of your vacation while others are still stuck in traffic. Tahoe Donner is minutes away from Historic Downtown Truckee, about 12 miles from Northstar California, and 16 miles from Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows.

Included with your rental are two guest cards providing access to the amenities available in Tahoe Donner. Each guest card allows access for up to four guests over the age of 7. Guest access fees are currently $12 per person per day. Children under 7 are free.

We rented this home for 2 nights, it was fantastic. The finishes are great, spacious layout, and very comfortable. There is a steep cleaning fee as noted in other reviews, leading to initially not wanting to book this home, however, it was well worth it. (My family is very tidy and clean so we ensured to leave the home spotless) When I booked the reservation, I spoke with Tatum, she was lovely to work with, giving me extra details and explained how the Tahoe Geyaways process works. I would rate this stay 5 Stars, the Home overall was perfect, and suited us well. We will rent this home again soon, assuming it’s availability is open. Cheers

Great Vacation House for Adults in Tahoe

Reviewed on2018-05-08 by Lukas

I was part of a group of eight adults that stayed at Fernwood Folly in early May, 2018. Things that we loved about the house: Huge kitchen and island, perfect for cooking and enjoying each other's company. The office allowed one of the guests to work in private. Nice grill and patio area. Hi-tech home features including lighting controls, house fans, automatic shades, etc...A few people enjoyed the hot tub, and the house is close to Truckee, but positioned nicely in a quiet part of Tahoe Donner. There are a few things that would have improved our stay - three of the five burners on the cooktop did not work, and there were not very many cleaning supplies. I was aware that the house instructions mentioned bringing additional toilet paper, towels, soap, etc...however the vacation would have been more seamless if sufficient quantities of these essentials were provided up front. Overall, we would stay here again.

This house was incredible, to say the least. Most of my Tahoe experiences have been in rustic cabins, so this super modern home was a really nice change. It was impeccably clean and provided all of the amenities needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay. The open kitchen and living area was perfect for our group to hang by the fire, while the some prepared meals in the kitchen. It was also a quick 10 minute drive into town where there were a ton of bars, restaurants and shops to pop in to, but in all honesty, why would you want to with a home like this? I would highly, highly recommend this property to anyone thinking about making a trip to Tahoe.

Beautiful home - for a winter (not summer) visit

This home is spectacular! It's well appointed and very comfortable. But if sleep is something you care about, don't stay here in the summer time (or else make sure everyone has an eye mask!). There are no shades on most of the windows, and where there are shades, the shades are basically translucent and so all the light comes in. This was especially tough for putting the kids to bed (so we bought some black tarp and covered as many windows in their room as we could). This is something it would have been nice to know in advance, as we booked the place for a month and this hugely impacted our ability to enjoy it fully. That and the fact that there was construction on the lot next door 7 days a week for the full month we were there. Lastly, the floors get very dirty and seem difficult to clean (we had cleaners come during our stay and still our feet were always dirty) so BRING SLIPPERS! We stayed here for a month and everything else about this home is PERFECTION. Literally, no complaints AT ALL. I think this home is PERFECT for a winter visit to Tahoe. The house is beautifully and thoughtfully designed. The furniture and beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen is PERFECT and the dishes and cookware were an upgrade from what we have at home. They seem to have thought of everything here (except window shades). The location could not have been any better!

Super comfortable modern cabin in Tahoe Donner!

Excellent. The beds were super comfortable. Climate control was excellent. Loved the steam room in the master bedroom and the hot tug on the deck!

Loved the house. Wished that there was one more bed available in the office to lower the general price for the place. The house was nice, but a little dated when it came to bedrooms.For the price I would expect a bit of attention paid to the ambiance of each room. Maybe modern bedspreads would spruce it up a bit. Also the lack of window shades was a bummer:( The house was not immaculate when we arrived either, not dirty but the cobwebs and dust bunnies were lingering. Just a few basic touches would make it a 5 star review. Thanks for the space, we enjoyed ourselves.

Beautiful home. Called property management company to let them know the cleaning crew is not thorough and many kitchen items were put away dirty and the grill and outdoor furniture was filthy. They were accommodating and offered to have a cleaning crew come right out to fix the situation. Backyard is private. Beds are very comfortable and the house worked perfectly for us. The location was a bit remote to the activities we like to do at Lake Tahoe, be we knew that when booking. I would stay again and thought customer service was excellent.
