About this property

Fernwood Folly- Modern 4 BR w Hot Tub- Pet Friendly- Gym and Pool Access

Set in a quiet neighborhood in Tahoe Donner this home is quintessential “mountain modern." It features environmentally friendly materials and technology such as corten, ledge stone, redwood, and cement fiber panels. Modern sensibilities and the clean lines of a more contemporary design are often labeled as cold and impersonal, but the homeowner's furnishings definitely round out the space in a warm and comfortable spirit.

With only bears as occasional gawkers, privacy is not so much of a concern. What is, are the views. Floor to ceiling windows bring the outdoors in, so you can enjoy the open space from the comfort of the gourmet kitchen, living room, or Primary bedroom suite.

But why stay inside, when there is plenty to welcome you out? A full outdoor living room and dining area is situated to take full advantage of the forested setting and on the second floor deck, a hot tub awaits to enjoy a cool evening soak.

• Over 3100 Square Feet
• Private Hot Tub on Second Floor Deck
• Well-traveled Dogs Welcome (Fee applies)
• Mobility Friendly
• Wood Fireplace
​​​​​​​• Gas BBQ (seasonal)
• Access to Tahoe Donner amenities (See Details Below)
• Gourmet Kitchen
• Dedicated Office Space
• Publications: Tahoe Quarterly “2010 Mountain Home Design Award”, Mountain Living Magazine “Green up from the Ground”

GREAT SPRING BREAK SKI TRIP
Overall wonderful - love the heated floors, kitchen, clear story, steam shower. Flooring showing some age - wood starting to warp in the kitchen. Had a hard time with the coffee makers - parts not fitting correctly for ease of use - may consider bringing ours next time. Thanks very much

Lovely time in Tahoe with two families
We had a nice stay for a long weekend in Tahoe. We were two families, each with two younger kids. Lots of space to spread out, cook, relax. Hot tub was nice for after skiing. Very close (

Great Time at Fernwood Folly
Had a great time at Fernwood Folly -- plenty of space for everyone, enjoyed the modern amenities and aesthetic, kitchen was well equipped, radiant floor heating was so nice on the toes, and hot tub on the second floor balcony was great. Wished we could have stayed longer. Tahoe Getaways informed us that garage door was unfortunately not working, so it was a little more of a pain to have the car parked outside (needed to remove snow and heat up car) -- I assume they will have that fixed in the near future.

Beautiful house!
My group of friends stayed here for a ski weekend at Palisades. We absolutely loved the house and made great use of the kitchen and large dining room table. We also appreciated that it was dog friendly. Would stay again!
