About this property

The Owl House | A Playful 70s Tahoe Donner Escape

  • The Owl House | 3BR/1.5BA Retro Cabin & Hot Tub | Tahoe Donner | Sleeps 7

    Welcome to The Owl House, a playful, vintage-inspired 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath cabin in Truckee's Tahoe Donner community. Think faux fur couches, lava lamps, a hand-painted Tiki Tom fireplace, and a hot tub under the stars — this retro-cool mountain retreat sleeps 7 and comes with more personality than polish.

    Prime location
    - Located in the Tahoe Donner community of Truckee, CA
    - Near Tahoe Donner's downhill ski resort, golf course, and trail network
    - Minutes to downtown Truckee and Donner Lake
    - Convenient to Northstar and Palisades Tahoe for additional skiing and riding
    - Surrounded by towering pines with multiple decks and outdoor seating areas

    Top amenities
    - 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms sleeping up to 7
    - Hot tub for stargazing under the Tahoe sky
    - Hand-painted "Tiki Tom" fireplace and retro 1970s-inspired décor
    - Fully equipped kitchen with KitchenAid mixer, blender, slow cooker, and milk frother
    - Streaming TV and classic board games for family game night
    - Multiple decks and outdoor seating areas

    The space
    Inspired by the fun side of the 1970s, The Owl House is filled with faux fur, lava lamps, and an owl or two keeping watch over the place — cozy, quirky, and full of character rather than cookie-cutter luxury. The kitchen runs on the smaller side but is stocked with the essentials and a few fun extras, ready for slope-side breakfasts or relaxed dinners after a day outdoors. In warmer months, spread out across the home's decks under the pines; in winter, curl up by Tiki Tom, soak in the hot tub, or gather for board games and movie nights.

    Good for
    - Families and friend groups who want character over cookie-cutter
    - Ski trips, with Tahoe Donner and nearby Northstar and Palisades Tahoe close by
    - Guests who appreciate whimsy, nostalgia, and a hot tub under the stars

    Good to know: the kitchen is on the smaller side — great for everyday cooking, not built for elaborate holiday feasts. Please know this is our home that we rent only when we are away - it is NOT a full time rental. Thus, we ask to please be considerate of our neighbors and keep noise down after 10pm. Also, we do not empty our pantries when we leave - you are welcome to use our spices, condiments etc but please just replace anything you use.

    Come for Tahoe. Stay for the vibes.

    This home has security cameras. Cameras on outside upper deck to cover back porch access and driveway entry
