Enter the main level through the airlock front door into our inviting great room.

The kitchen has a tiled floor and is fully appointed with a microwave, ceramic glass cooktop, dishwasher, trash compactor, and all the cooking utensils and small appliances you could ever need. There is a breakfast bar seating for three and a large dining room table that can expand for seating of 12.
The Master suite is also on the main level with plush carpet and a wonderful Eastern King with a down comforter. There is a private bath with dual sinks and a shower, a walk-in closet, and a large deck overlooking Prosser Mountain. The deck has a gas BBQ and 4 bar-style chairs to sit and have drinks while taking in the stunning view of Prosser Mountain!
Also on the main level is a full bath complete with a tub/shower combination. Across from there is our spacious inside laundry room with a washer, a gas dryer, and extra linens.
From the common area, stairs lead up to the oversized loft, featuring a massive leather sectional, a theater, and a gaming area. The theater area consists of a 64” Plasma big screen, a Roku, a Blu-ray player, and a 5.1 surround sound system. There is a game table for board games and a small library with books, games, and puzzles. The loft deck offers a supreme view of the adjacent Tahoe National Forest with Prosser Mountain in the distance.
The stairs down from the common area lead to the lower bedrooms and the attached garage. The “Bear room” has a queen bed, a large closet, and access to the lower deck. The “Moose room” sleeps four, featuring a double bed, a twin bed, and a slide-out twin under the double bed. A full bath with a shower is adjacent to the lower bedrooms. The lower level can also be accessed through the garage.
The home is equipped with an elevator that can be used for a small fee. This must be arranged in advance. Please contact us if needed.
In addition to the multiple decks on the home, there is a stone patio in the back of the house that is great to sit out on in the summer. During the winter, the back of the house with its open forest terrain (NO homes out back) is wonderful for sledding! Our family has spent many hours out back sledding and playing in the snow.
Tahoe Donner Private Amenities:
Hansel Haven is located just ¼ mile from the Trout Creek Recreation Center, the Tahoe Donner small grocery store - Z Market Place, and the Tahoe Donner Golf Course (ranked #4 in California and #17 in the nation).

Enjoy the charm of a historic mountain town paired with the conveniences of modern living. There is also a paved walking/biking trail from Tahoe Donner to Downtown that is fun to do. You can enjoy beautiful vistas from the trail & not have to find parking once in Downtown Truckee. Available at the top of the trail are e-bike rentals.
