About this house rental
Ten Secluded Acres
Private | Unique | Upscale | Wild
The Truckee Chalet is the quintessential Sierra mountain home. If you are looking for privacy, tranquility, and a place to unwind, this is the property that you have been looking for.
PLEASE NOTE: All of the bathrooms in the home are completely renovated; the Matterport video walkthrough shows the old bathrooms-we've also made many upgrades to the home since that video was taken.
Rustic and absolutely one of a kind. You have never rented a property like this before.
Location:
The Truckee Chalet is just a few minutes from downtown Truckee where you can enjoy high-quality restaurants, galleries, and shops. The property is in the middle of the forest so plan on seeing a wide variety of wildlife: Bears | Bobcats | Deer | Coyotes | Raccoons | Small Creatures | Birds!
Activities:
Enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and mountain biking on the property!
The Chalet is a few miles from one of the Donner Party camps, lakes, and virtually any sort of outdoor activity that you can imagine.
Pets:
Bring your dogs; they will love running in the totally fenced-in corral. They will enjoy the comfy dog beds, blankets, and tasty treats. We even have crates available for you.
Pet Fee: $70 per dog, per stay.
We require dogs to be crated if you leave them alone when you are out.
Chefs:
Enjoy a well-equipped kitchen that is stocked with high-quality cookware, appliances, and tableware. You will find a fondue pot, Raclette machine, KitchenAid mixer, and much more. On the deck, there is a large, new propane grill. If you book at just the right time of year, you will find Morel mushrooms growing on the property!
Chalet:
Constructed with reclaimed railroad timbers, the residence is just over 3,000 sq. ft. and has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a large covered deck with stunning views of Mt. Rose. Children, and adults, will enjoy seeing the Pacific Railway boxcar that sits on the property. Bring your large RV; there is plenty of parking available, no hookups.
Build a fire in the massive granite fireplace; the ambiance of the Chalet in the evening, with a roaring fire going, can’t be described in words. Note that live fires are banned during the fire season.
*Romantic Getaway? Yes.
*Great place to get engaged? Yes.
*Fun property that all adults, kids, and dogs love? Yes.
*Smores? Yes.
Snow:
The road to the Chalet is 3/10 of a mile long and winds through the forest. If snow is in the forecast during your stay, you MUST have a 4WD & snow chains. We are NOT exaggerating; the road is steep, windy, and slippery when covered with snow. You will NOT make it up or down the road unless you have chains on. Please note that no refunds are provided if you do not follow this rule.
Plan on getting snowed in!
The snow plow company plows the road once per day when there are 4 or more inches of snow.
During the winter months, there is nothing better than watching the snow fall from the warmth and coziness of the Chalet. Getting snowed in is part of the fun.
NO SKI LEASES.
Note: Due to the secluded location of the house, the increased break-ins into rental properties, and for your safety, we have operating RING cameras on site. One overlooking the front of the driveway, one facing the back towards the train car, one facing into the forest towards Mount Rose, one facing into the forest/dog corral, and a smart doorbell at the front door.

Our second time staying and it was just as good as the first!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We had such a wonderful stay and can’t recommend this property enough. It was incredibly child-friendly, truly a dream for families. We barely had to pack anything because the home was so thoughtfully stocked with cribs, a bassinet, high chair, toys, and all the little details that make traveling with kids stress-free.The property itself is stunning and feels very private, which made it perfect for relaxing and unplugging. Our dogs loved it just as much as we did, and we spent our evenings making fires, unwinding, and enjoying quality family time together.This was our first time visiting Truckee, and staying here made the experience even more special. We would absolutely love to come back and hope to return again in the future.

This property is lovely. Perfectly stocked with essentials plus much more. Cozy, charming great room with unique lodge-like feel. Grounds and view (mountain range in the distance) are beautiful. Just minutes to downtown Truckee but feels very private and remote. Excellent hosts with great communication and instructions. Oh - and the house and grounds are super dog friendly.
