Ski all day, then sink into a steaming saltwater hot tub and cedar sauna in the snow. Featured on the Emmy-winning series Staycation, The Glass House is a wellness retreat in Truckee, Lake Tahoe, 12 minutes from Northstar, 20 min Palisades Tahoe and 20 min Sugar Bowl. Sleeps 8 in four bedrooms (one a sunroom with a Murphy bed and desk) and 2.5 baths. Gas fireplace, floor-to-ceiling snowy-forest views, and a game room with pool, darts and arcade classics. 4-zone heat, fast Wi-Fi, two workstations. Dog-friendly (fee).
The space
Welcome to The Glass House, a boutique mountain wellness sanctuary offering a rare blend of luxury, tranquility, and thoughtful design. The home’s rustic-modern architecture shines with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame serene forest views. The spacious, light-filled living area features a cozy gas fireplace, a 65-inch smart TV, and a Sonos sound system. The fully equipped chef’s kitchen includes concrete countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous breakfast bar.
WINTER, ELEVATED
Winter is when The Glass House does its best work. Ski Northstar, Palisades Tahoe or Sugar Bowl by day, then come home to a steaming saltwater hot tub and a cedar barrel sauna on a snow-covered deck. Want a cold plunge between sauna rounds? In winter, the snow is right there. Inside, the gas fireplace is lit, the floor-to-ceiling windows are full of snowy pines, and the game room is ready with an 8-foot pool table, darts, Golden Tee, NBA Jam and Marvel Pinball.
New this winter: a boot and gear drying station and eight Gravity Grabber wall racks in the garage game room, so skis, boards, boots and gloves hang up right beside the pool table and the gym and are dry by morning. No wet gear piled in the entryway.
Out back, the fenced half-acre becomes your own winter playground: a natural sled hill with a couple of sleds at the house, and enough open yard for snowmen, snow forts and a proper snowball fight.
Storm days are the secret. When a big system is in the forecast, stock up on groceries on the way in (there’s plenty of fridge, freezer and pantry space), then let it snow. Powder laps in the morning if the roads allow, hot tub at dusk, pool table and fireplace at night. Lean into it and slow down. We build the winter wonderland; you get to live in it.
