About this house rental
RECENT UPDATE - April 2025! New 8-person hot tub on the back deck!
The Log House is a gorgeous privately owned 5,250 sq. ft. log home in Truckee, CA constructed in 2005. The house is located in the Tahoe Donner Association at one of the highest home sites available ... 7,250 ft. near the Glacier Point trail portal within walking distance from the Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Area. The house has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, plus a loft with a very comfortable hide-a-bed which can be easily used as a 5th bedroom. A multi-room sound system enables music to be streamed throughout the house and a new theater system with 85" Sony Smart TV will keep you entertained. A 3-car garage keeps your cars safe from our incredible winter snow storms!
The Log House itself is loaded with amenities and must be seen to be believed. The Great Room has 25 ft. floor-to-ceiling windows and gas fireplace to compliment the immaculate views. The kitchen is fully loaded with stainless steel appliances -- refrigerator, 48 inch range with 2 ovens, built-in microwave, dishwasher and coffee/cappuccino machine. The bar & rec room area has its own refrigerator and dishwasher, another massive fireplace, wine cellar, steam shower, and dry sauna in addition to a highly functional work out area with Olympic weights and a stair master. The top rear deck has beautiful stainless steel barbeque, fire pit, two propane heaters, ample seating and a specially designed area for the 10-person jacuzzi that is sitting over 30 ft. above the ground and perfect for enjoying the massive views or the night stars.
The sleeping arrangements are as follows:
* Master Bedroom (king)
* Guest Bedroom I (king)
* Guest Bedroom II (queen)
* Guest Bedroom III (king)
* Loft (couch / hide-a-bed - unusually comfortable)
The Master Bedroom has its own gas fireplace and opens up to the top deck only footsteps from the jacuzzi. Both guest bedrooms open up onto the lower deck area so that all guests enjoy the same massive views from the comfort of their sleeping quarters.
This home is not only defined by the massive 24 inch plus logs but the incredible 180 degree views of Mt. Rose, the Truckee Meadow, Northstar Ski resort, the Pacific Crest, and Donner Pass from its two rear deck areas.
Guests of The Log House enjoy all the member benefits of the Tahoe Donner Association, including the Downhill Ski Area, Cross Country Center, Equestrian Center, Campground, 18-hole Golf Course, Recreation Center, Clubhouse and Beach Club Marina via two Transferable Guest Cards (good for 8 people).
Lake Tahoe is only 20 miles away from the property and is internationally known for offering visitors a bonanza of recreation, restaurants, and attractions. With so much to do you may want to visit the Official Lake Tahoe Visitors Bureau websites for the information you need to plan your vacation to the Lake Tahoe / Truckee area. Between the property and Lake Tahoe you have multiple world-class ski resorts including Palisades, Alpine Meadows and Northstar. Locally, within 10 miles you have multiple smaller lakes accessible for boating, fishing, and water sports including Lake Donner, Boca Lake, and Stampede Lake. Outdoor recreation activities in this area are endless ... so come enjoy!
This is snow country so make sure you plan for you 4-wheel drive vehicle if coming up in the winter season. The severity of weather from the Town of Truckee up to the house can change radically in the winter ... so it is very important to be prepared!
This is no ordinary vacation rental ... the logs, the views, and the amenities of this area must be experienced in order to be fully appreciated. So come join us for a vacation in the mountains you'll never forget!!

We had a wonderful time with the family celebrating Thanksgiving in this spectacular cabin! Beautiful details and stunning views. Spa was very clean and spacious. Four bedrooms, not 5. ‘Fifth’ is a loft. So nice to have a second fridge downstairs. Lots of spices and basic pantry items. One of the closets near entryway is a small pantry with several items from hot cocoa to trash bags. Things to Note: Bring towels for the spa as there are none extra. No extra sheets or extra bath towels either or extra dish towels. Lots of stairs to get in though there are nice stair rails. Helpful to know for elderly. There was a high chair and a pack and play for littles. Overall, everything was terrific!

Absolutely Gorgeous Log Home – Even Better Than the Pictures!We stayed at this stunning log house and couldn't have been more impressed. The photos truly don’t do it justice—it’s even more beautiful in person. The home had all the amenities we needed, so much so that we didn’t feel the need to leave!The bedrooms were all incredibly spacious and comfortable, each with proper window coverings for privacy and rest. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered breathtaking views and filled the space with natural light. This place had everything we could’ve asked for—relaxing, luxurious, and perfectly equipped for a great stay. Highly recommend!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2025
The house is beautiful and comfortable with a genuinely incredible view. The steam shower and hot tub were excellent. There were a few things that were listed online that were unavailable. First, this house has 4 bedrooms, not 5 (as evidenced by the real estate listing for this house). Secondly, the laundry facilities are not available for guest use. Thirdly, the sauna was not functional. It is also worth noting that this house is very unfriendly for disabled folks, as two flights of stairs need to be climbed to reach the garage from the living area, with no other options for access.

We had a great time at the house. There were a couple of things that went wrong but were out of the homeowner’s control. The homeowner was very responsive and made sure we had a great visit. The views are AMAZING!!!
