Winter at Tahoe Donner: With an STR badge and a daily fee per person, Trout Creek Recreation Center's lap pool, hot tubs, sauna, steam room and gym are open in winter. Trout Creek's recreation and kiddie pools and the Northwoods Pool are seasonal amenities, open in summer only. Downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and Snowplay are open to the public and priced separately, with no STR badge required. STR badges don't work on blackout dates, and entry may be limited by capacity or operations. The Tahoe Donner HOA is completely responsible for these amenities and their hours. No refunds of any kind are given if HOA maintenance, repairs or other circumstances prevent their use.
GOOD TO KNOW: The driveway is professionally plowed, and our snow crew shovels the main paths and entry. Shovels and ice melt are on hand, and after a big storm you may need to dig your vehicle out. In heavy snow years, roof snow shedding can make part of the wrap-around deck unusable. Up to two pets welcome (add them to your reservation). Exterior cameras at the front door and driveway only; none inside.

The Neighborhood:
The setting is peaceful and forested, with well-spaced homes and a true mountain feel, yet you remain just minutes from Tahoe Donner’s core amenities and recreation areas.
Located on Lausanne Way in a quiet, lower-elevation section of Tahoe Donner, this neighborhood offers a peaceful forest setting with excellent year-round accessibility. The lower elevation makes winter arrivals easier than many higher Truckee neighborhoods, even during heavy snowfall.

You’re just minutes from Tahoe Donner’s ski hill, cross country center, golf course, trail network, and recreation center (guest fees apply). Donner Lake and historic Downtown Truckee are also a short drive away, providing easy access to beaches, dining, shopping, and local events.

It’s an ideal location for guests seeking a calm mountain environment with convenient access to recreation in every season.

Getting Around:
Getting around from 12437 Lausanne Way is simple, especially with the cabin’s lower-elevation location and easy year-round access.

By Car – The Most Reliable Option

A personal vehicle is the easiest way to explore Tahoe Donner and the greater Truckee area. The home offers driveway parking for multiple vehicles (garage use only if specified), and flat access makes winter arrivals more manageable than in higher-elevation neighborhoods. You’re just minutes from Tahoe Donner Downhill, the Cross Country Center, Donner Lake, and downtown Truckee.
WINTER DRIVING (OCT 1 - MAY 31): 4WD or AWD with snow tires is strongly recommended for this home, and carry chains. Chain controls on I-80 and Highways 89 and 267 are routine during storms. Under R2, the most common level, every vehicle must chain up except 4WD or AWD with snow tires on all four wheels. Renting a car? Book AWD or 4WD specifically and confirm the tires at pickup.

FREE RIDES AROUND TOWN
TART Connect is a free, on-demand shuttle that works like Uber. Request a ride in the TART Connect app for trips anywhere in Truckee and Tahoe Donner, including the ski areas, Trout Creek and downtown. Check the app for current hours. Free regional TART buses also run throughout Truckee and North Lake Tahoe from downtown Truckee - a great option for exploring the lakefront, avoiding resort parking, or reaching nearby towns.

Rideshare & Taxi Options

Uber, Lyft, and local taxi companies operate in the area, though availability may be limited during storms, holidays, or late evenings. Scheduling ahead is recommended.

Walking & Biking

Tahoe Donner’s extensive network of hiking and biking trails begins close to the cabin. Guests often enjoy exploring greenbelts, forest paths, and community amenities without needing to drive.

Traveling Beyond Truckee

The Truckee Amtrak station and Truckee Tahoe Airport are both nearby. Reno-Tahoe International Airport is roughly 45 minutes away via I-80.
