All the comforts of home await you in this true upscale mountain getaway nestled in the pines of Donner Summit. Gorgeously updated kitchen, hot tub, wood burning fireplace, and large deck +bbq in summer. Just steps from X country skiing, ice skating, sledding and close to 3 ski resorts (Sugar Bowl), this location cannot be beat for a short getaway or a place to remotely work. In summer, it's short stroll to the lake for a paddle and swim or explore the local trails, lakes, and rivers. The space With rustic charm but modern upscale amenities, this cabin is great for a true getaway. Enter the home through an enclosed slate mudroom and ascend stairs to a second floor hand scraped bamboo great room with windows on all sides. Enjoy open concept living in the updated kitchen with granite counter tops, pine cabinetry, and recently updated appliances. Head up to a third master bedroom with views out to the pines and its own en suite bathroom. Enjoy a built in office nook for any remote work/school needs. Please note this bedroom is a true loft which is open to the main living area. The large front deck is a perfect spot for watching little ones play in the snow, or in the summer bbq dinner and enjoy a glass of wine at sunset. At night soak in the hot tub under the stars off the back deck. The hot tub has capacity for up to four guests at a time. An additional playroom room with washer/dryer, beautiful Yamaha digital piano, and extra TV is located off the garage. This is also a great space for older kids to have their own separate entertainment area. Other property features: board games, smartTV, reasonable Wifi (ATT DSL), wood burning fireplace, bikes, beach chairs and winter sleds. One car attached garage parking and two additional spots off street (weather dependent). Forced air heating plus wood burning stove available. Guest access You will access the property via smart lock. I will provide the cabin's detailed information and access instructions prior to arrival via separate correspondence. What's mine is yours unless otherwise noted or put away. Please use what you need and leave what you don't. If you use all of something, please kindly replace it or let us know so that we can do so. Other things to note - Absolutely NO SMOKING is allowed in or around the home. We have small children, and the smoke can be harmful to their health. If evidence of smoking (including cigarette butts) has occurred in or around the property, a $500 fine will be levied. - Under NO circumstances do we allow animals in the cabin. Unfortunately my wife and daughter are severely allergic and this rule is for medical reasons. - Placer County Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a rental tax paid by the guest for short-term rentals up to 30 days. It is 10% of the accommodations plus cleaning fee. It is not a tax on the business operator. Property owners must collect the tax from the guest on behalf of the County per Revenue Taxation Code 7280 and Placer County Code, Article 4.16. TOT also applies to all rentals from all internet based rental services like Airbnb in the unincorporated areas of Placer County. -Our cleaning fee is slightly higher because of our strict adherence to maintaining a clean hot tub, which we cannot separate out in the fee structure. This requires a great deal of effort to ensure it is sanitized appropriately. -We include some cooking supplies for your use: coffee, tea, flour, sugar, oil and complete pancake mix for your breakfast + a dozen spices. -Mountain WiFi tends to be a little slower than what you may be used to. It does not have the capacity for everyone to stream at once. I can often zoom for work without any issue and my children can stream Netflix usually with no issue, but it is DSL nonetheless. -In winter when snow is accumulating, the driveway will be plowed at least one time a day (usually very early am) conditions permitting. If your car is in the driveway, it may not get plowed. Please move your car if you see the plow in the driveway so we can get the driveway smooth of no snow. This is very important when it is dumping snow. NO MORE THAN 3 CARS please (1 in garage, 2 in driveway). -Please note that in winter, snow accumulations are commonplace. Please review all I-80 CalTrans and CHP alerts for travel restrictions and carry chains at all times. If you aren't sure about whether you will need to put them on, contact us and we will help. Mountain weather can change quickly; be safe and prepared. -*This area can get up to 600+" of snow per year! Please plan your trip accordingly as we cannot be responsible for missed nights due to weather or travel delays. If you need to come up a day early or leave a day late to avoid significant snow, we are happy to offer additional nights at a discount. Visit "NOAA Weather" online and search conditions for zip code 95728. This is a great reliable source for weather conditions. -Smoke in the summer is unfortunately and increasing issue in the Sierra Nevadas do to wildfires. We have an air purifier which can be used in case of smokey conditions. Please note, we do not issue refunds for wildfire smoke conditions. -Power outages can happen during the winter. Especially on the top of the mountain! Although we do not have a generator, we have a wood burning fire place which can heat much of the cabin and LED lanterns + a kerosene lamp for ambience :) -Single person Kayak plus paddle is available for use. You will need to transport down to the lake. Damage to the kayak or loss of paddle will be assessed. Please DO NOT use the green canoe.
