This is an absolutely amazing place to stay. Easily accessible by well-plowed roads, we were charmed by absolutely everything in this warm and welcoming home. The master suite features a luxurious jacuzzi tub and marble shower. (Just be aware that the room overlooks the great room. It does feature sliding barn doors to cover the balcony-like opening, but if you are the first to bed, or the last to awaken, you will hear noise from downstairs. For us, it was absolutely not a problem.) We were three couples, and everyone had plenty of personal space, loved their rooms and baths. The great room is outstanding, with huge ceilings to admire the snow outdoors, a cozy fireplace, plenty of room for dining, cooking, relaxing. We loved the outdoor gas fire table for evening gatherings (s'mores!), and the hot tub was excellent after a day of skiing. The Tahoe Donner x-country resort is nearby (actually walkable from the house) and the downhill resort is a short drive. The Lodge, also nearby, is a great place for dinner and/or drinks, and the town of Truckee offers lovely shops, food and drink options, and all the major chains for food, pharmacy, etc. we were there in winter but it looks like there are lots of nearby hiking trails, it would be lovely in summer as well. We fell in love with this home, wish we could live here forever!

As soon as you go in to this beautiful mountain lodge you experience the combination of great style, interesting architect, comfort ,cleanliness, and a home that is exquisitely decorated and everything there for your creature comforts. From the fluffy white plush towels, To the crisp cotton sheets, to a very well stocked kitchen, to a spa like a hot tub, to the exquisite hand woven rugs underfoot. You could even be tempted when you stay here to not even step outside because it's so lovely, but you notice that it is so well situated for great hikes nearby, as well as the convenience of the little town too. I thoroughly recommend staying here and give it five stars.

This is actually a 4 bedroom house, w/ the additional room on the first floor w/ a queen bed! Very clean and spacious, and good location for skiers! We had a very good time!

We took a family vacation for six days to the Norsehall house in Tahoe Donner in July. It was a wonderful getaway; peaceful quiet woods, lush greenery, ample space for the whole family and a hot tub to take a relaxing soak. The house is located up the Northwoods hill, so bike riding isn’t ideal for small children. We enjoyed easy access to the HOA pool for $17 per person, we made a stop at the nearby Z Market for a forgotten item, and we ventured out to Donner Lake, Truckee River, Martis Creek and downtown for some daily adventures. There were some pesky mosquitos outdoors, but we anticipated that and were prepared with some bug repellent for our legs and arms. It was hot the week we visited, the house does not have A/C, but the woods cool off enough at night if you open up the windows to let the air flow. The house supplies an abundance of ceiling, standing and window fans that work perfectly. There is a ping pong table in the garage that our kids very much enjoyed. Thanks for a great stay!

Great location near downtown Truckee and Donner Lake. The house has everything you need and the exposed beams are a nice architectural feature. We had excellent communication with the property manager which made for a easy trip.

Beautiful mountain lodge set in a peaceful star filled setting. Everything has been designed for comfort, elegance and no expense has been spared; Down to the plush towels the linens and the beautiful antique rugs. And extremely well equipped kitchen as well as a grill outside to make cooking fun, and a hot tub in the early morning or under the star canopy is a real treat. This is a four bedroom, three full bathrooms beautiful home. The great room has a fireplace to make it cosy. Everything about this space is luxurious!
