Designed for those who crave crisp mountain air, peaceful mornings, and days filled with adventure, this three-bedroom retreat is the perfect basecamp for your Lake Tahoe escape. Classic Cabin Comfort From the moment you step inside, you're wrapped in the familiar embrace of a true mountain getaway. Wood-paneled interiors, soft lighting, and a charming stove fireplace invite you to slow down, sink in, and savor the simple joys of cabin life. Multiple living and sitting areas mean there's room for everyone—whether you're curled up with a book, sharing stories by the fire, or gathering around for a board game. Thoughtfully Designed for Rest & Relaxation The primary suite offers a peaceful escape with a king bed, ensuite bathroom, and a private balcony—the perfect spot for morning coffee with the scent of pine in the air. Two additional guest rooms provide welcoming accommodations, while a daybed in the lower lounge offers extra sleeping space. A second full bathroom and in-home washer and dryer ensure convenience for longer stays. Gather, Dine, & Savor the Moment The fully equipped kitchen is ready for everything from pancake breakfasts to après-ski dinners. Share meals in the inviting dining area, or step outside and let the fresh mountain air elevate every bite. For an effortless cup of morning coffee, enjoy a Keurig coffee maker. Adventure Awaits in Every Season Located in a prime Truckee setting, Bear Americana places you within easy reach of Tahoe Donner, Donner Lake, and the slopes of Palisades Tahoe. In summer, head to Donner Lake's West End Beach—a 10-minute drive away—for kayaking, paddleboarding, and sun-drenched afternoons by the water. Winter transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland, with top-tier skiing and cozy après-ski spots just a short drive away. With convenient parking and easy access to Truckee's charming downtown, this is where mountain memories are made. Welcome to Bear Americana, your home away from home in Lake Tahoe. AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we're at your service! Situated in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here, especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake's cobalt-blue water. Whether you're looking for a day in the mountains or a cruise on the lake, you can have it all in Tahoe.
