About this house rental

Welcome to the Aloha Cabin!

Plus, of course, gain access to all of the year-round amenities that Tahoe Donner has to offer including swimming pools, golf, and tennis. Each floor has a bedroom and full bathroom, which is great for limiting noise and maximizing privacy. On the first floor, the bedroom houses two sets of bunkbeds (four twin beds), and the bathroom has a shower. There is also a bonus space with a comfortable couch, television and foosball table. This bedroom and bonus space make for a perfect kids’ hangout where they can be as loud as they want without disturbing those on the main floor. There are doors at the top and bottom of the stairway the keep any noise from traveling. At night you can put the kids to bed and then hang out in the living room on the main floor as late as you want without worrying about waking up the little ones. Nothing puts a damper on a vacation than being woken up too early by excited kids or having to be quiet and whisper your conversations at night after the kids go to bed. This won’t happen in this house! The kitchen and living room are on the second floor. The second floor bedroom offers a queen size bed and walk-in closet, and the bathroom has a bathtub with jet streams, perfect for relaxing after a long day in the outdoors or on the slopes. The cozy kitchen is newly remodeled, and you will find all of the necessities to make a gourmet meal. It is fully stocked with dishes and flatware, pots and pans, cooking utensils, cookie sheets, muffin pans, rice cooker, toaster oven, toaster, wine glasses, coffee maker, French press and more. The living room has a solid wood dining table that comfortably seats seven, and the kitchen bar seats an additional three. A top-grain leather sectional and seats round out the perfect conversation, TV watching, or relaxation spot. A flat screen TV offers dozens of cable channels and there is WIFI throughout the house. The third floor hosts a bedroom with queen bed, a bathroom with large shower and a loft with two twin beds and another comfy conversation nook. All of the furniture is in mint condition—no lumpy beds or old linens here. Outside, there are two large decks. The front deck has teak furniture with seating for 10 and a gas grill, and the back deck offers a relaxing, private atmosphere ideal for viewing the forest and stargazing. The yard offers plenty of at-home adventure opportunities year-round for the kids and an amazing sledding hill for hours of entertainment. (Sleds are in the garage.) The backyard connects to a large wooded greenbelt that is perfect for hiking and exploring. There is a one-car garage and a carport with parking for at least four or more vehicles. The driveway is completely flat, a major plus for the winter months. There are also a washer and dryer for longer stays. The home is very conveniently located in lower Tahoe Donner in Truckee, allowing you to get to all of your destinations quickly. You will have access to all of the Tahoe Donner amenities (with a small fee) including three swimming pools (one open year-round), fitness center, bocce ball, archery, and the members-only beach club and boat lunch on Donner Lake.

Northstar, Sugar Bowl, Alpine Meadows, Boreal, and Squaw Valley are all within a 30 minute drive as well as the Truckee River and Lake Tahoe. Throughout the home you will find little touches of Aloha, from the bright fish artwork to the starfish on the dining table. Whether you want all the activity that the water and slopes have to offer or you want a relaxing retreat in the woods, make the Aloha Cabin your home away from home, and be prepared to create memories that will last for years.

We wanted a snow weekend and that is what we got! My 3 grandsons ages 10-8 who live in different towns like to play and see each other and we all know how difficult that has been. The elevated backyard was perfect for sledding, discing, and we even now have a budding snowboarder! He practiced and practiced. So convenient to stop, run in for food and back at it. As adults, we liked the separate sleeping and bathrooms! So much fun! Hope to repeat next year.

The home was spotlessly clean. Very kid friendly with plenty of separate and shared space. Close to both Donner Lake and Truckee River which are both beautiful and accessible for both small children and seniors. We definitely hope to come again

I think it says a lot when guests return to the same property - this was out second visit to the Aloha Cabin. Aloha Cabin is awesome for families, there is room for everyone to hang out together, and still places for people to sit away from the group if they want. For us the big draw is the sledding and snow in the backyard - it allows us to play as long as we want, and then go in for a break when needed. Close to Old Town Truckee, a Safeway, and restaurants. This trip we went over to Squaw Valley (only 20 minutes away) and spent the evening seeing the fireworks over the snowy mountains and disco tubing! Thanks for having us! The Eck
