Set among the towering pines of Tahoe Donner, Moosetrack is the kind of cabin that makes a Sierra getaway feel effortless. Large picture windows pull the forest right into the living room, sunlight spills across the open layout, and the whole home is built for the part of the trip that matters most --- everyone landing in the same place at the end of the day.
Three bedrooms sleep up to 8 guests. The two upstairs bedrooms each feature a queen bed, while the third bedroom offers a twin-over-full bunk plus an additional twin --- ideal for kids, ski buddies, or anyone calling the bottom bunk first. Two full bathrooms keep mornings moving when the slopes are calling. The spacious living room is anchored by an indoor fireplace, perfect for thawing out after a snow day, and the kitchen has the room and tools to handle everything from a quick breakfast before first chair to a full après-ski feast.
Outside, the private hot tub is the obvious headliner --- steam rising into the cold mountain air after a long day on the mountain. There's also a grill for summer cookouts and a basketball net for working off restless energy between adventures.
Location-wise, you're in one of Truckee's most beloved mountain communities. Downtown Truckee is roughly 10 minutes away, with its historic main street, breweries, bookstores, and restaurants ranging from cozy cafés to elevated alpine dining. Donner Lake is just down the hill for paddleboarding and beach days in summer, and you're within easy driving distance of Northstar California, Palisades Tahoe, Sugar Bowl, and, of course, Tahoe Donner's own downhill ski area. Lake Tahoe's north shore is about 25 minutes out when you're ready for a bigger day trip.
Each home is provided with Short Term Tenant cards that allow access to Tahoe Donner amenities. Guests have access to public amenities, including the Downhill Ski Resort, Cross Country Ski Center, Snowplay area, Golf Course, Bikeworks, Equestrian Center, and on-site restaurants. Access to private amenities such as the Beach Club Marina, Trout Creek Recreation Center, Northwoods Pool, and Tennis and Pickleball Center requires a valid Short Term Tenant Card and payment of daily access fees at the time of entry.
