Bernese's Bungalow | Pet Friendly Snowy Escape, Gas Fireplace & Bunk Room

Welcome to Bernese's Bungalow!

Winter fun awaits at Bernese's Bungalow! This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home sits in the lower half of Tahoe Donner, just 10 minutes from city centre Truckee and Donner Lake and 20 minutes from north Lake Tahoe. Come in through the mud room to the great room, with two sitting areas: one centred on the gas fireplace and another around the flat-screen TV with a DVD player and streaming device. Updated hardwood floors make it a cosy place to warm up after a day out in the snow.

The remodeled kitchen is ideal for hearty après-ski meals, with a dining table that seats 6 and a breakfast bar that seats 4. A queen bedroom with a desk and full-size closet and a shared bath are on the main floor. Upstairs, the king and queen bedrooms have vaulted ceilings and lots of windows for plenty of natural light. Designed with families and groups in mind, the upstairs also has a spacious bunk room with two twin bunks and plenty of space for kids to hang out, plus a shared bath with a double-sink vanity. The laundry room has a full-size washing machine and dryer.

Mountain living: Staying in a private mountain home means there are occasional circumstances beyond our control.
