About this house rental

Welcome to Hale Mauka, our "home in the mountains". Our three bedroom, two bath house is truly our second home in Tahoe Donner. We are proud to be able to share it with you throughout the year.

Hale Mauka can comfortably sleep eight guests. A downstairs master suite with a 42in TV is down the hall from the full kitchen. Upstairs, the 'kid's room' contains two sets of bunk beds and a pair of fat boy bean bag stools for lounging. The other upstairs room has a 42in TV and queen bed. A full living room and dining room combine to give lots of room for families to stretch out and relax after a full day enjoying the Tahoe surroundings. There is a wood stove in the living room that can heat the entire home; baseboard heaters and humidifiers are also in each room to further control the temperature.

Don't want to totally unplug while you're away? No worries -- high speed internet is included along with free WiFi for guests. Three LCD Smart TVs (55in in the living room, 42in in two bedrooms) have built-in Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime connections so you can stream videos to your heart's content. The living room TV also includes an HD cable feed so you can watch the major sports games in real time. A Mac Mini is in the loft along with an Airprint-capable printer, so you can surf the web or even get some work done if needed.

Located on Alder Creek Road, it is one of the first thoroughfares in Tahoe Donner to get plowed, providing clear access to your snow sport destinations. The Tahoe Donner Downhill ski area is 5 minutes away, as is the Alder Creek Adventure (Cross Country/Equestrian) Center. An easy jaunt down 89 takes you to Northstar, Squaw and other Tahoe destinations.

Great views of Alder Creek can be seen from the front deck. The rear deck leads to a wonderful backyard play area where kids can go downhill with the provided sleds or just roll around in the snow. You can even play horseshoes in the horseshoe pitch in the front yard.

The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, utensils, and dinnerware. There is also a full size washer and dryer so you can pack lightly.

High thread-count sheets, down comforters and memory foam mattresses on all beds, along with soft towels ensure that you can relax in luxury after a full day of fun.

    Truckee is a great place to stay. Place was great w/ the bunk room and location to downtown and Donner Lake.

    We brought my sons family including their 10 YO and 19 Month Old children. Plenty of fun toys and games. We would have liked a little empty cupboard space in the kitchen and a few less stairs but we had a great time. We appreciated the access to tech and all the plush bedding.

    We had a great stay. Cabin is just the perfect size for our family. It has all the things we needed. Good communication with host. Bed is comfortable. Kids enjoyed sledding at the back. Highly recommended.

    My wife and 2 kids (3 and 2) had a great time at this location. Did a little sledding in the backyard, skiing at Donner ski hill (couple minute drive), sledding at the main sled hill on Northwoods and went to some good restaurants in the area. The location was perfect for our little getaway.
    10.0 / 10.0
    Cozy, clean, and comfortably well-stocked for a family, from the well-appointed kitchen to the board games and sleds. And responsive owner.

    This is our second year coming to Hale Mauka for a winter trip and both times have been wonderful! The cabin is cozy, the backyard is a sledder’s dream, and Ed and Bernadette are helpful and caring hosts. Five stars!!
    10.0 / 10.0
    This was the perfect place to stay with my young children and inlaws. The downstairs bed/bath gave the inlaws some space and privacy (and us some distance from snoring ;P) while the upstairs bunkroom and 2nd bedroom/bathroom was ideal for us and the kids. The common living/dining area was cozy and the backyard was great for sledding with little kids. Also the property is close to many ski options, and the property as a whole was very clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay again!
