About this house rental
Muhlebach Family Retreat is a luxurious and beautifully renovated family retreat; an amazing place to spend the summer with family and friends. The renovated 3800 sqft, 5 bedroom 5 bath, the perfect getaway for families and retreats. The gourmet kitchen and amazing great room can seat all of your guests. At the end of your day's adventure, you can soak in the hot tub among the stars or play pool with the crowd.
The main level is the great room offering striking features such as the 22 foot tall hand-picked river stone fireplace, and a 400 year old reclaimed redwood bar that seats 7. The kitchen offers a new beautiful Viking range top with a built-in griddle, and new Jenn-Air speed cook ovens. The cook's kitchen is fully stocked including dinnerware for 18. A quick stroll to the deck takes you to the 7 person hot tub for a relaxing night under the stars.
Walk down a flight of stairs and you have 4 spacious bedrooms with 500+ thread count Supima sheets. The master suite has a king bed, stone fireplace, a 2 person Jacuzzi tub and a deck heading out to the back. The guest suite is a perfect king room with slate and granite bathroom. The other 2 rooms share a bath with dual sinks. The one room has a queen bed and lounge chair. The 4th room has a queen bed and a twin over full bunk bed with a deck and backyard access.
Below the bedrooms, is 900 square feet of relaxation space and kids retreat. The family room has a pool table and 60' screen TV. The other room is a bunk room for 6 with an en-suite bath with dual sinks and tub over shower. Kids love their own cubbies in each bunk equipped with power and USB outlets. Walk out of the family room into the spacious wooded retreat where trees and green space abound.
The house has pretty great internet. There is a modern router with 400mbs internet connection. The WiFi coverage is good and we have modern streaming on all TV's.
During the summertime and holidays, we favor week long rentals that are Friday to Friday or Sunday to Sunday. Our policy is a maximum of 8 adults. Extra guests may be possible for an extra fee and contacting us first.
VRBO does not have options for complex booking rules. Here are our house booking rules. We do not allow Saturday check-in or check-out. Midweek bookings require a Friday and Saturday night stay except in the case of 4 days Monday - Thursday.
Winter Weather and Summer Smoke. Both of these things can happen in Tahoe. We are an owner renter here. If you are booking our property we expect you to stay there and not hound us for a refund because traveling became difficult. If you are worried about winter weather (It can easily snow 100" inches in a few days) or summer smoke issues buy travel insurance.
In 2025, Tahoe Donner has changed its Short Term Rental access to allow 6 people per house at a cost of $24 per person per day. Because of this and the size of our house...I am now not recommending this.

The house was very clean and confortable, especially when traveling with the multiple families with kids. The host was very attentive, we had a great time and would highly recommend this house.

We had a wonderful time at the house! Three families stayed, with great entertainment for the kids. Awesome hill for sledding. Matt the host was very responsive to communication. So close to Tahoe Donner which is a great place to ski. Would stay again!

We had an amazing time staying at Matt's cabin with our kids and family friends. The first thing you realize is that because of the elevation of this cabin it actually gets significantly more snow than the general forecast in Truckee which is fantastic. There's tons of open space around the cabin. We made an epic sled run, built some impressive snowmen, and rolled giant snowballs that my kids will never forget. The layout of the house is fantastic. The wide open kitchen, dining room, and living room made for some very memorable meals and hangouts not to mention the hot tub on the balcony with the view over the snow covered tree tops. The bedrooms are all on the second floor and are very spacious and comfortable with plenty of bathrooms. The additional six bunk beds downstairs was a big hit with the kids and it felt like they were doing a super fun sleepover. Plus the adjacent game room with pool table, arcade machines, board games, and big screen TV meant that the kids had a blast and the adults in our party upstairs barely noticed them. Matt was a great host-- super responsive and helpful. It's only been a week since we stayed here and my two boys have already asked several times when we are going back. We've booked a dozen different cabins in Tahoe city and Truckee over the years, and this is one of our favorites. We can't wait to book this place again next year.
