Tucked into the pines of Tahoe Donner, Hansel Haus reimagines the classic A-frame for modern mountain living --- think soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams paired with walls of windows, glass railings, and a clean, elevated design language that runs through every level. The open-concept main floor is flooded with natural light, anchored by one of the home's two fireplaces and opening onto two decks for easy indoor-outdoor living across seasons. It's a cabin in silhouette only --- inside, a Thermador-equipped kitchen and Nespresso bar fuel slow mornings and serious cooking, the dining table seats eight in comfort, and the great room is built around long evenings spent together.
Four bedrooms sleep up to 10 adults plus kids, with three configured as primary suites --- a King, a California King, and a Queen, each with its own full bathroom. A fourth bedroom with a California King rounds out the sleeping quarters, served by a full bath right next door, and a half bath on the main level handles guest convenience. Down in the basement living area, two queen-size pull-out sofas extend the layout for larger crews, and a loft lounge offers a flexible bonus space --- claim it for a quiet morning coffee, an afternoon nap, or an extra hangout zone when the house is full. With three distinct living areas --- main, loft, and basement --- there's plenty of room to spread out or come together. No pets allowed.
Down in the game room, board games and an arcade setup keep snowy afternoons and post-dinner hours covered, with five TVs throughout the home and 440 Mbps WiFi keeping everyone connected. A propane BBQ on the deck rounds out the entertaining setup.
As guests of Tahoe Donner, you'll have access to one of the most amenity-rich HOA communities in the Sierra --- community pool and spa, private beach club and boat ramp, downhill and cross-country ski areas, golf, tennis, an equestrian center, and a fitness room are all part of the package.
Northstar California and Palisades Tahoe are a short drive for ski days, Donner Lake's beaches are minutes away for summer, and Historic Downtown Truckee's restaurants and breweries sit just down the hill.
