Enjoy a private hot tub, game room with pool table, and easy access to Donner Lake, Truckee, and top ski resorts. Perfect for families, friends, and year-round mountain getaways. Welcome to Baden’s Best, a cozy mountain getaway tucked among towering pines on a quiet street in Tahoe Donner. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the warmth and comfort that make this cabin so special. Start your vacation upstairs in the inviting living room, where vaulted knotty pine ceilings, a beautiful stone fireplace, and a comfy leather sofa create the perfect alpine retreat. After a day on the slopes or trails, relax by the fire or gather downstairs in the family room for a game of pool, a movie night on the big-screen TV, or a round of Xbox with family and friends. The fully equipped gourmet kitchen makes cooking a pleasure, with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and everything you need to prepare a delicious meal. Dine together around the spacious table or step out onto the deck for a BBQ surrounded by mountain air and tall pines. When it’s time to unwind, slip into the private hot tub on the back deck and watch the stars shimmer through the trees — it’s the perfect Tahoe ending to any day. A Home with Heart As a child, I spent winters skiing and sledding in these mountains, and I fell in love with the crisp air and peaceful pine forests. Years later, my wife and I discovered Tahoe Donner while driving home from Reno — and instantly knew this was where we wanted to build family memories. In 2004, we made that dream a reality and purchased this cabin we now call Baden’s Best. Over the years, we’ve poured our hearts into decorating and updating it to feel like home — adding the back deck and hot tub, upgrading furnishings, and creating a space where guests can relax, laugh, and make lasting memories. We’re proud to share our mountain home with you and hope you enjoy it as much as our family has for the past two decades. Designed for Comfort & Peace of Mind Baden’s Best was created to be both welcoming and secure. For your comfort and safety, the property includes discreet exterior security cameras located at the front entrance and driveway area.
