About This Property

This is the kind of Tahoe cabin buyers spend years hoping to find. The kind that blends the timeless charm of a classic gambrel with the dramatic architecture and soaring spaces buyers love about an A-frame. Wrapped in rich wood paneling and dramatic vaulted ceilings, the home evokes a sense of authentic Tahoe charm that's becoming increasingly hard to find. Designed to bring the outdoors in, the dramatic two-story great room is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the home with natural light while showcasing peaceful forest views in every season. Thoughtfully refreshed with brand-new carpet throughout, new garage doors, and a new roof installed in 2026, the home is move-in ready while preserving the authentic mountain character and timeless charm that make it so special. Backing to tranquil open space, the expansive rear deck feels like a natural extension of the living room—perfect for morning coffee beneath the trees, summer dinners with family and friends, or cozy evenings listening to the sounds of the forest. Inside, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow effortlessly together, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that's equally suited for entertaining or simply unwinding after a day on the slopes, trails, or lake. A versatile loft overlooks the great room, creating the perfect space for guests, a home office, or a quiet reading retreat. Two comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide flexible accommodations, while the flat driveway and attached two-car garage make year-round mountain living effortless. Located in the heart of Tahoe Donner, owners enjoy access to one of Truckee's premier mountain communities, including championship golf, downhill and cross-country skiing, miles of hiking and biking trails, Trout Creek Recreation Center, pools, tennis and pickleball courts, restaurants, and private beach access at Donner Lake—all just minutes from historic downtown Truckee. Some homes photograph beautifully. This one is even better in person.
