Forest Views, Hot Tub & Tahoe Donner Access | Alpenglow Chalet by AvantStay

Welcome to Alpenglow Chalet by AvantStay! Nestled among the tall pines of Truckee, this inviting mountain retreat blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Here, you’re just minutes from the slopes of Northstar, trails that wind through the Sierra Nevadas, and the sparkling shores of Lake Tahoe—giving you adventure in every season.

Step inside and be greeted by soaring wood-beam ceilings, sunlight pouring through oversized windows, and a grand stone fireplace that anchors the open-concept living room. The warm wood finishes, plush furnishings, and large flat-screen TV make it the perfect spot to curl up after a day outdoors.

The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar with seating, opening seamlessly to a spacious dining area with views of the forest.

Each bedroom is designed with comfort in mind, offering a mix of queen, double, and oversized beds—each with its own ensuite bath. The loft-style bunk suite features four full-size beds, making it a great option for families and friends.

Outside, the large deck invites you to dine under the pines, soak in the hot tub beneath the stars, or gather around for morning coffee as the forest wakes up around you. With space for up to 10 guests, this home was made for connection, relaxation, and adventure in the Sierra Nevadas.
