King bed in the third floor ‘treehouse like’ master suite with pretty forest views.
Flowers in the secret garden (this of course varies by season)
Welcome to our secluded oasis on nearly half an acre in the forest. We are set back from the street, with a peaceful and undeveloped greenbelt behind the house. Climb the stairs to begin your "almost like a treehouse" stay with us.
Many guests consider (optional) Rainbow Hot Tub a highlight of their stay. Set it at 80 for a refreshing cool dip or soothe aching muscles at 104. Enjoy rainbow light therapy in the evening. In winter, it's often surrounded by a cathedral of snow.
You are renting the 3rd floor master BR of this beautiful chalet in the forest, plus 1 driveway parking spot near the front steps. The downstairs unit is separate with separate entrances and may be occupied by the owner or other guests.
Guest parking for 1 car on left side driveway. Please park as far left as possible (as you face the house). Leave right side clear for the owner/guests of the separate downstairs unit. Steps on the left bring you to your private entrance in back
This is the landing at the top of the stairs, leading to the back door. From here you can see the substantial undeveloped greenbelt behind the house. It's already beginning to feel like a treehouse!
Guests have access to the front deck to enjoy the outdoors
Bring your favorite wine and glasses to enjoy our bistro nook on the side deck.
Waking up to fresh snow and bluebird play days is the best feeling!

About this place

Eagle Nest Suite by Tahoe Truckee Vacation Rentals

Best kept secret in Truckee! Get away to this peaceful Eagle Nest master suite perched high in the trees in Tahoe Donner. Welcome to the Eagle Nest Suite — a peaceful, treetop master suite perched above the forest in Tahoe Donner. This serene, comfortable retreat offers a king bed, soaking tub/shower, window bench, large TV, coffee maker, mini-fridge, small microwave, and tranquil views into the pines. It’s an ideal space for guests respite, cleanliness, and easy access to Truckee’s best amenities.

Our quiet street provides rare tranquility while still being walking distance (0.75 mi) to Z Marketplace, The Lodge Restaurant & Bar, and the Rec Center. We’re 6 miles from historic Downtown Truckee and about 15 miles from Palisades Tahoe.

The suite is part of a larger home but fully locked off with its own private entrance and no shared indoor spaces. One parking space on the large, flat driveway is included.

🌲 Seasonal Atmosphere

In spring and summer, enjoy our “secret gardens,” a work in progress with thousands of planted bulbs offering daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, and seasonal color.
In winter, the gardens disappear under deep snow, transforming the view into a magical snowy forest.

❄️ Comfort & Climate Control

Most Truckee homes do not have A/C, but this suite does — a major comfort advantage in summer.
There is no in-room thermostat, so guests simply message the owner anytime to request temperature adjustments.
