    The Home:

    Enter the main level through the airlock front door into our inviting great room. The common area features new hardwood flooring, a leather sofa, 3 large leather chairs, a wood-burning stove with a river rock surround (wood provided), and a beamed, open ceiling. The kitchen has a tiled floor and is fully appointed with a microwave, ceramic glass cooktop, dishwasher, trash compactor, and all the cooking utensils and small appliances you could ever need. There is a breakfast bar seating for three and a large dining room table that can expand for seating of 12.

    The Master suite is also on the main level with plush carpet and a wonderful Eastern King with a down comforter. There is a private bath with dual sinks and a shower, a walk-in closet, and a large deck overlooking Prosser Mountain. The deck has a gas BBQ and 4 bar-style chairs to sit and have drinks while taking in the stunning view of Prosser Mountain!

    Also on the main level is a full bath complete with a tub/shower combination. Across from there is our spacious inside laundry room with a washer, a gas dryer, and extra linens.

    From the common area, stairs lead up to the oversized loft, featuring a massive leather sectional, a theater, and a gaming area. The theater area consists of a 64” Plasma big screen, a Roku, a Blu-ray player, and a 5.1 surround sound system. There is a game table for board games and a small library with books, games, and puzzles. The loft deck offers a supreme view of the adjacent Tahoe National Forest with Prosser Mountain in the distance.

    The stairs down from the common area lead to the lower bedrooms and the attached garage. The “Bear room” has a queen bed, a large closet, and access to the lower deck. The “Moose room” sleeps four, featuring a double bed, a twin bed, and a slide-out twin under the double bed. A full bath with a shower is adjacent to the lower bedrooms. The lower level can also be accessed through the garage.

    The home is equipped with an elevator that can be used for a small fee. This must be arranged in advance. Please contact us if needed.

    In addition to the multiple decks on the home, there is a stone patio in the back of the house that is great to sit out on in the summer. During the winter, the back of the house with its open forest terrain (NO homes out back) is wonderful for sledding! Our family has spent many hours out back sledding and playing in the snow.

    Tahoe Donner Private Amenities:

    Hansel Haven is located just ¼ mile from the Trout Creek Recreation Center, the Tahoe Donner small grocery store - Z Market Place, and the Tahoe Donner Golf Course (ranked #4 in California and #17 in the nation). If you enjoy walking, you are close enough to walk to the Trout Creek Recreation Center & Z Market Place!

    As our valued guest, you’ll have access to Tahoe Donner’s premier private amenities (for a small daily fee). These include the Beach Club Marina, Trout Creek Recreation Center (which includes a fabulous gym, pools (2), hot tubs (3), a dry sauna, a steam sauna, and lockers), Northwoods Pool, and the Tennis & Pickleball Center. Guests are granted access through Short-Term Tenant Cards, which allow entry to all private facilities with the payment of a daily access fee. Each card is valid for one individual per day to all private facilities (pay only once), is non-transferable, and must be presented with a valid photo ID at each location.

    See https://www.tahoedonner.com/amenity-access/short-term-tenants/str-visitor-information/ for rates and further information.

    Important Notes:
    Short-Term Tenant Cards are specific to the property and may only be used by registered guests. They must be returned at check-out, and if lost, a $100 per card replacement fee will be charged.

    Tahoe Donner Public Amenities

    Along with its private amenities, TD also has numerous public amenities. The Tahoe Donner Golf Course (ranked #4 in California and #17 in the nation) is ¼ mile away. There is a downhill ski area great for beginners and intermediates (with a brand new $32 million lodge due to open for the 2025 season!), a world-class cross-country center (#2 in North America per USA Today) that serves as a premier mountain bike area in the summer, an equestrian center, and more.

    Dining & Socializing at the Tahoe Donner Lodge

    Just minutes away, The Lodge Restaurant & Pub offers award-winning dining in a cozy alpine atmosphere. Enjoy handcrafted cocktails, a curated wine list, and locally sourced dishes—all with the option of outdoor seating, perfect for summer evenings or après-ski gatherings.

    Close to Historic Downtown Truckee and Donner Memorial State Park

    Just a short drive away, Downtown Truckee offers boutique shopping, local art galleries, and an eclectic mix of restaurants (many award-winning). Enjoy the charm of a historic mountain town paired with the conveniences of modern living. There is also a paved walking/biking trail from Tahoe Donner to Downtown that is fun to do. You can enjoy beautiful vistas from the trail & not have to find parking once in Downtown Truckee. Available at the top of the trail are e-bike rentals.

    Visit the museum at the Donner Memorial State Park that commemorates the ill-fated Donner Party, a group of pioneers who were stranded in the Sierra Nevada during the winter of 1846-1847.

    Access to World-Class Ski Resorts

    Centrally located, you're only 12 miles from Northstar California, 12 miles from Sugar Bowl, and 16 miles from Alpine and Palisades Tahoe, making it easy to enjoy some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the region.
