Looking for a luxurious place to stay in the Tahoe-Donner area? This amazing three bedroom vacation home is just the getaway you've been looking for! You'll enjoy an elegant interior, new furnishings, great outdoor amenities like swimming pools, golf, tennis, and the peace and quiet of the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains.

Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors, wood beamed ceilings, and gorgeous design accents. In the formal living room you can sit back on the comfortable sectional sofa, and watch a DVD or satellite on the TV.

In the chef-inspired kitchen, there's everything you could possibly want - a stainless steel refrigerator, gas range, oven, ample counter space, champagne and martini glasses, a rice cooker, lots of platters, roasting pans - even a waffle maker for lively weekend brunches. This bright space gets a lot of natural light from the windows by the sink.

In addition to the living room, right off the dining room, is a large family room with a foosball table, a TV, DVD player, and spots for everyone to sit back and relax. Let the kids watch a movie here while the adult have their own movie and martini night in the living room. Grab a book from the shelf and curl up on the window seat with a mug of tea for an afternoon of quiet reading. You'll also find board games, movie libraries, and video games here to provide even more entertainment options.

On sunny days, take to the outdoor deck and enjoy the pine tree-lined scenery! There's a gas grill for summer barbecues and patio furniture so that everyone has a spot. On chilly nights, turn on the heat lamp and do some star gazing, maybe with a champagne toast. It's also the ideal place for a morning cup of coffee while you enjoy the sun, cool mountain breeze, and morning birdsongs.

After a day of skiing, hiking, or biking, you'll have a good night's sleep in three luxurious upstairs bedrooms. The primary suite boasts cherry wood furniture, a TV and DVD player, and an en suite bathroom with a jetted tub, vanity with double sinks, and a walk-in shower. A second bedroom features a rustically elegant pine bed frame with a queen bed, and in the third bedroom, there are two sets of twin bunk beds - let the kids have a slumber party every night. A washer/dryer is available - so you're covered for longer stays as well.

And while this amazing Lake Tahoe vacation rental will definitely provide lots of great memories, you'll have so much to do here in the popular Lake Tahoe region! Nestled in the base village of Tahoe Donner Ski Areas, you're a 10-minute walk, or a two-minute drive to the ticket office and lift area, creating a hassle-free experience.

This mountain community is 30 minutes away from five more ski areas - Northstar, Sugar Bowl, Alpine Meadows, Boreal, and Squaw Valley, offering ample pickings for skiers/riders hungry for variety. Closer to home, Tahoe Donner amenities (with a discounted fee) include swimming pools, shared hot tubs, golf, tennis, bocci ball, a private beach at Donner Lake, and a ski area with tubing hill.

The Gathering Place was a perfect house for us all to stay while we participated in the Donner Lake swim. It was clean, organized, and had easy communication with the property manager.

We had a nice time at this house. It was great for the kiddos - fooseball, tons of puzzles, books, trains, and more. Definitely a highlight. Cons - the house is not well equipped. Powder shampoo and soap, not enough dishwasher pods, zero laundry detergent, no way to store the food we cooked, etc. Nice to haves, yes, but when they're not there, it's a real bummer. Otherwise, a very comfortable home.

My wife and I were very pleased with the cleanliness and how well stocked the house was. The home was very spacious and welcoming throughout. Beds were very comfortable and the neighborhood is quite. Great location to the town of Truckee, and not far from Lake Tahoe or Donner Lake. Highly recommend!

Had lots of fun. Nice cabin.
8.0 / 10.0
We had a lovely time at this house. It was spacious enough to allow people of different age ranges to spread out. Kitchen well stocked. Reallly close to the local ski resort. The fireplace is indeed loud but you just need to turn down the blower. Also the dishwasher didn’t work. But I’m assuming it broke during our visit and will be fixed. I would definitely come back to this house.
