Dog Friendly | HOA Hot Tub, Beach & Gym Access| Sunny Deck| Close to Golf and Biking | Sleeps 10

Year round fun awaits at Bernese's Bungalow! This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home is located in the lower half of Tahoe Donner, only 10 minutes from downtown Truckee and Donner Lake, and 20 minutes to all major ski resorts and north Lake Tahoe.

Enter the home through the front door and mud room into the main living space. The great room area offers two sitting areas; one centered around the gas fireplace and another around the flat screen tv with a dvd player and streaming device. Other highlights include updated hardwood floors, a remodeled kitchen and dining for 6. A back door from the dining space leads to a large a sunny deck, equipped with a gas bbq and outdoor furniture (summer only for the deck). Down the hall on the main floor, a shared bath with bathtub/shower combo and a bedroom are offered. The bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed, desk and full size closet.

Upstairs you'll find the main bedroom floor and additional bathroom. One king and one queen bedroom both offer lots of windows and are on opposite ends of the floor. In the middle of the floor is the shared bath with bathtub/shower combo and double vanity sinks, and a spacious bunk room with two twin bunks and plenty of floor space for kids to hang out.
The garage fits one subaru or similar size vehicle, and you can access the home with the key pad for easy access during storms.

Great property

This house suited our needs perfectly. If I had one suggestion it would be that additional clothes hanging space be installed. One bedroom had no closet, another bedroom’s closet was locked shut, the 3rd bedroom’s closet rod/shelf was laying on the floor. We could have utilized the coat closet by the front door but it’s very inconvenient. We all had clothes to hang as we were in Truckee for a wedding. Other than that, the place was great.

Nice Place to Stay

This property is up to date and recently renovated. It has all the accommodations you could ask for to prepare your own meals, bedding, and towels. The only thing I wish it had was TVs in the bedrooms. But that aside it has a lot of board games to play instead. We will be coming back.

Terrific house, great experience

When we took our stuff to the upstairs we realized that there was a plumbing issue with the shower. We called the property manager and she was so responsive and quick to deal with the issue that we were very impressed. It turned out that this shower could not be used but that was no problem and the response made it all fine. Loved the house and will return for sure.
