Half a block from the lifts, with the resort in full view.16505 Ski Slope Way sits a short walk from the Tahoe Donner Downhill parking lot, where free seasonal shuttles run to the new lodge.

Dogs welcome.

The space

Welcome to 16505 Ski Slope Way – a luxury mountain retreat built for larger groups, with sweeping views of Tahoe Donner Downhill Resort and a location most Tahoe rentals cannot match.

HALF A BLOCK FROM THE LIFTS
Walk around the corner and you are at the entrance to the Tahoe Donner Downhill parking lot, where free seasonal shuttles run up to the new lodge. No fighting for parking, no long drive in a storm – the closest thing to slopeside without paying slopeside rates.

THE HOME
Soaring vaulted ceilings, warm natural wood, and a grand gas fireplace set the tone the moment you walk in. Brand-new kitchen Bosche & Kitchen Aid appliances make cooking for a group effortless, and a record player adds character you will not find in a typical rental.

SLEEPING
Four spacious bedrooms with three California King beds and one Queen, plus three full bathrooms. The upstairs primary suite is a private sanctuary with a Cal King and en-suite bath. Every bedroom is generously sized – ideal for families, multiple couples, or group getaways. Downstairs, a queen sleeper sofa in the game room brings the total to 10.

THE VIEWS
Multiple private decks look out over the resort, unobstructed. Below, a creek winds through the canyon, its mountain runoff a soothing soundtrack through warm summer evenings. Morning coffee as the sun lights up the slopes, or dinner on the natural gas BBQ with the resort as your backdrop.

YEAR-ROUND COMFORT
Central A/C – a genuine rarity in Tahoe – keeps summers cool, while the fireplace anchors the room after a day on the trails or slopes.

THE GAME ROOM
Downstairs, ping pong for friendly competition and an oversized theater TV for movie nights, plus a queen sleeper sofa for guests nine and ten. The layout lets a large group spread out without losing the sense of being together.

DOG FRIENDLY
Your four-legged family members are welcome here. Nobody gets left behind. Please make sure to add your pet to the reservation for accurate pet pricing for your stay.

Great work stay! Booked another week! Thank you!

Antonella D.

This Truckee Airbnb is a gem! The location was amazing- driving distance to stores, restaurants and activities and the house itself had very peaceful, private decks.
The house was large but still cozy and was stocked with everything you could possibly need- from the kitchen to the bedroom and bathrooms. This house is perfect for small and large groups and you’ll enjoy inside time just as much as outside time. The ping pong table was a much enjoyed bonus in the house. The host is very proactive and responsive. Really looking forward to booking here again!

Moorea C.

another great work week stay ! Thank you!

Antonella D.

Outstanding location, beautiful views from the deck. Home was beautiful, with plenty of room for our group of 10 and our dog. Beds were very comfortable and home was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The host was very responsive and friendly. We will definitely book this place again.

Tina L.

Lovely home in a beautiful location with easy access to all the fun Truckee has to offer.

Janice L.

The house fit our group comfortably. It actually looked smaller in the pictures so we were happy to see it was much more spacious in person. The kitchen was beautiful and definitely one of our favorite parts of the house.

Unfortunately, the hardwood floor was dirty. I’m not sure if the previous guests wore shoes in the house but our feet were turning black walking barefoot. It should have been cleaned prior to checking in. We also couldn’t adjust AC because the keypad was showing a blank screen and the house kept getting warm so we just opened the windows. Bedroom downstairs had an unpleasant pungent smell.

Other than those issues, we enjoyed our stay.

Tracey X.

We loved staying at this home. It was beautiful, very clean, very comfortable beds, and absolutely wonderful, clear and easy communication with hosts. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to stay in the Truckee area.

Shannon B.

Ken was very responsive and was able to accommodate our last minute request for an early check-in.

Sara L.

We had a wonderful stay here! The house was very spacious mountain getaway for our 2-family group. The management team was incredibly communicative and responsive. We appreciated and enjoyed all the extra touches – the record player, board games and ping pong in the game room, the sidewalk chalk for kids, the nice shampoos/soaps for guests, very comfortable sheets/bedding and equipped kitchen. We also loved grilling and relaxing on the deck. Please note that (as noted in the listing description), if you want to take advantage of the 6 access passes to the private beach/marina and recreation association, you must still pay a day fee per person. However, there is so much to do in the area that we found plenty of other ways to enjoy the lake and outdoors for our group of 9 people. It’s a great house!

Silvana R.

We absolutely loved staying here! Ken is very responsive and gave us all of the information that we needed well in advance of our stay. The surroundings are very peaceful and our family spent a good amount of time sitting on the deck or playing ping pong downstairs. The beds are extremely comfortable and the home was spotless. We hope to stay here again.

Things To know

Where you’ll be

Truckee, California, United States

Set in one of Tahoe Donner’s most coveted pockets, this home has direct sightlines to Tahoe Donner Downhill Resort and sits surrounded by towering Sierra pines – a quiet, tree-lined alpine setting a short walk from the mountain.

TAHOE DONNER DOWNHILL + NEW SKI LODGE – half a block to the parking lot
Free seasonal shuttles run from the lot to the new lodge. The friendliest mountain in Tahoe for families and first-timers.

ALDER CREEK ADVENTURE CENTER – 2.5 mi / 7 min
The Cross Country Ski Center here is among the largest Nordic operations in North America, with miles of groomed track through old-growth forest. The Equestrian Center shares the site – trail rides in summer, pony rides for kids.

TROUT CREEK REC CENTER – 2.5 mi / 7 min
Pools, fitness studios, hot tubs, sauna, steam room.

BEACH CLUB MARINA – 3 mi / 8 min
Private beach and marina on Donner Lake, with kayak and paddleboard rentals.

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN TRUCKEE – 5.5 mi / 12 min
Locally owned restaurants, boutiques, breweries, galleries, and the Amtrak depot along Commercial Row. Compact and walkable once you arrive.

Tahoe Donner is a private resort community spanning thousands of acres in the northern Sierra, and one of the largest and most amenity-rich homeowner associations in the country. Miles of hiking and mountain biking trails start within the community. Lake Tahoe is roughly 25 minutes south, with Kings Beach and Tahoe City the closest lakeside destinations.

Checking in and out

  • Check-in: 4:00 PM
  • Check-out: 10:00 AM

During your stay

  • 10 guests maximum

Access

Guests have full access to the entire home: all four bedrooms, three bathrooms, the fully equipped kitchen, living and dining areas, the downstairs game room, all private decks, the garage, and the driveway. Two locked owner’s closets are the only areas not accessible. Everything else is yours.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO HOT TUB AT THIS HOME. We mention this up front because many Tahoe rentals have one and we would rather you know before you book than be disappointed on arrival. Guests do have access to the hot tubs, sauna, and steam room at Trout Creek Recreation Center through the short-term tenant card program described below – a full spa facility a short drive away, included with your stay apart from the daily amenity fee.

TAHOE DONNER SHORT-TERM TENANT CARDS

This property participates in the Tahoe Donner Short-Term Tenant Card program, providing six transferable cards that unlock Tahoe Donner’s private amenities for the duration of your stay.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ IF YOUR GROUP IS LARGER THAN SIX. Tahoe Donner permits a maximum of six short-term tenant cards per property, regardless of how many guests the home sleeps. This home sleeps 10, which means up to six members of your group can access the private amenities on any given day. The cards are transferable, so your group can rotate them day to day – four people ski Monday while six use the pool, and you swap on Tuesday.

WHAT THE CARDS COVER: Trout Creek Recreation Center – pools, hot tubs, sauna, steam room, and fitness studios – plus the Golf Course, tennis and pickleball courts, the Beach Club Marina in summer, the Cross Country Ski and Snowshoe Center, and Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort in winter.

DAILY ACCESS FEES, paid directly at the amenity on arrival:
Ages 7 and older: $30 per day
Ages 3 to 6: $15 per day
Ages 0 to 2: Free

These fees are set by the Tahoe Donner Association and can change at any time without notice. Please confirm current pricing directly with Tahoe Donner before you rely on these figures.

BLACKOUT DATES – PRIVATE AMENITIES

Feb 14-16 (Presidents’ Day Weekend)
May 23-25 (Memorial Day Weekend)
Jul 1-5 (Independence Day)

Blackout dates are set by the association and may be adjusted. Please verify with Tahoe Donner if your stay falls near one of these windows.

PUBLIC AMENITIES have no blackout dates and remain open to short-term tenants year round. Short-term tenants do not receive member or personal-guest discount rates.

Transit

A PERSONAL VEHICLE IS REQUIRED – YEAR ROUND

16505 Ski Slope Way sits in a residential mountain community. There are no walkable restaurants or stores, and while Uber and Lyft do operate in Truckee, availability inside Tahoe Donner is unreliable and thins out after dark, during storms, and on peak holiday weekends. Do not plan a trip around rideshare.

Parking is plentiful – a private garage and driveway accommodate multiple vehicles comfortably.

OCTOBER 1 – MAY 31: 4WD OR AWD WITH SNOW TIRES REQUIRED

This is not a suggestion. Chains on a 2WD vehicle will not reliably get you up to this home during or after a storm. Under R2 chain control, the most common restriction level, all vehicles must chain up EXCEPT 4WD or AWD with snow tires on all four wheels.

RENTING A CAR? This is where guests get caught. An SUV is not automatically all-wheel drive, and almost no rental company fits true snow tires – all-season tires do not meet R2. Book AWD or 4WD specifically and confirm the tires when you pick up the car.

Roads here are plowed by Nevada County and can be slow to clear after a major storm. Never plan a tight departure window on a storm day best to book that extra night and make sure you’ve purchased travel insurance.

JUNE – SEPTEMBER: Roads are clear and any vehicle will do. You will still want your own car.

DRIVE TIMES
Downhill Resort parking lot: half a block on foot
Cross Country Ski Center: 2.5 mi / 7 min
Trout Creek Rec Center: 2.5 mi / 7 min
Downtown Truckee: 5.5 mi / 12 min
Sugar Bowl: 13 mi / 20 min
Northstar: 13 mi / 20 min
Kings Beach, Lake Tahoe: 17 mi / 25 min
Palisades Tahoe: 18 mi / 28 min
Reno-Tahoe Airport (RNO): 45 mi / 50 min

During peak ski season Tahoe Donner operates a shuttle between select community locations – a convenient way to reach the slopes without parking.

Interaction with guests

Your hosts at Yeti Cohosting are local to Truckee and bring a hands-on, hospitality-first approach to every stay – proactive communication paired with complete respect for your privacy.

YOUR PRIVACY IS THE DEFAULT. We do not drop by unannounced and we will not fill your inbox. We check in a few times during your stay to be sure everything is going well, and beyond that we follow your lead.

CONCIERGE HOURS: 5 AM – 9 PM. Non-urgent questions, recommendations, and requests get a fast, friendly reply during these hours. Messages sent after 9 PM are answered first thing the next morning.

URGENT ISSUES: 24/7, ALWAYS. A leak, no heat, a power outage, a lockout, a safety concern – call the emergency number in your welcome message and digital guide at any hour of the night. You will reach a real local person. There is no hour when this home is unreachable.

LATE ARRIVALS: If you expect to arrive after 9 PM, let us know in advance so we can make sure check-in is smooth and stress-free.

YOUR DIGITAL GUIDEBOOK arrives before you do and covers this house specifically: check-in instructions, how every system works, Tahoe Donner amenity details, local recommendations, troubleshooting, and checkout steps. It answers most questions before you have to ask.

A TIP OUR GUESTS LOVE: download the free version of ChatGPT or Claude to a few phones in your group. Snap a photo of anything you are unsure about – an appliance panel, a switch bank, gear in the garage – and it will usually walk you through it in seconds. For the gas fireplace or anything involving heat or safety, please use our guidebook or call us instead.

Notes

WINTER IN TAHOE DONNER – PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING

Truckee gets serious snow, and Tahoe Donner sits well above town. Storm cycles can drop several feet at a time.

REQUIRED OF EVERY WINTER GUEST:
1. A 4WD or AWD vehicle with true snow tires. See Getting Around for detail.
2. Willingness to shovel. Light snow removal during your stay is part of staying here.
3. Patience with the roads after a storm.

DRIVEWAY: Professionally plowed on a regular schedule during winter. Between visits, berms across the driveway apron and in front of the garage are the guest’s responsibility, as are the decks, walkways, and entry stairs. Shovels are provided should you want use during your stay.

The upside of this address: you are half a block from the Downhill parking lot, so a storm day means walking to the shuttle rather than driving anywhere at all.

SLEEPING FOR 10: Four bedrooms hold three California Kings and one Queen, sleeping eight. Guests nine and ten use the queen sleeper sofa in the downstairs game room – a comfortable, well-appointed space, but an open shared room rather than a private bedroom. Worth knowing if your group needs four fully separate sleeping areas.

AMENITY ACCESS FOR LARGER GROUPS: This home sleeps 10, but Tahoe Donner caps short-term tenant cards at six per property. Up to six of your group can use the private amenities on a given day. See Guest Access for full detail.

NO HOT TUB AT THIS HOME. Many Tahoe rentals have one, so we flag it clearly. Hot tubs, sauna, and steam room are available at Trout Creek Recreation Center with your short-term tenant cards.

PETS: Up to two pets welcome for a fee. Please add them to your reservation so the fee applies automatically.

SECURITY: An exterior Ring camera monitors the perimeter of the home. There are no cameras or recording devices anywhere inside.

BEAR COUNTRY: All food and trash stays indoors or in the provided bear locker. Never leave trash outside, even briefly. Bears in Tahoe Donner are active year round.
Maximum occupancy as listed on your reservation. No exceptions.

No parties, events, weddings, or commercial functions.

QUIET HOURS 10 PM – 7 AM, required by Town of Truckee ordinance. This is a residential street with full-time neighbors.

BEAR COUNTRY. All food and trash stays indoors or in the provided bear locker. Never leave trash outside, even briefly.

PARKING in the garage and driveway only. Vehicles left on the street obstruct plows and may be cited or towed.

NO SMOKING or vaping anywhere on the property, indoors or out. Wildfire risk here is severe.

PETS: up to two welcome with prior approval and fee, make sure to add them to your reservation. Please clean up after your dog on the property and on Tahoe Donner trails.

CHILDREN must be supervised on the decks and stairs at all times.

Guests are responsible for compliance with Town of Truckee short-term rental regulations. Violations can result in fines to this property.
