Description Timber and Sky: Truckee

Tucked beside the pines of Tahoe’s iconic wilderness, this quintessential mountain home is modern in all the ways you want, but classic enough to feel right at home. Despite the incredible nature surrounding you, it’ll be hard to tear yourself away, with an open-plan living space and fireplace ready for you to settle in, four comfortable bedrooms, and our favourite part — the hot tub with endless views across the trees. When you do head out, you’re just a five-minute drive from Lake Donner, with Lake Tahoe and cosy downtown Truckee also within easy reach. You’ll also have access to the neighbourhood amenities, from a gym and pools to the ski resort, golf course, and more.

Home truths:
*Your host provides a starter supply of toiletries and paper products, but you might want to bring your own to top this up. The nearest supermarket for stocking up is a ten-minute drive away.
*During the winter months, 4WD or AWD vehicles with snow tires or chains are required.
*There’s free parking for up to two cars on the driveway and two cars in the garage.
