The chill is in the air, the frost is on the window and the skis are in their racks. Sit around the fireplace, feel the warmth and take in the spectacular lake view of Donner Lake after your skiing in the fresh outdoors. Watch the snowflakes layering like blankets on the pine branches and glacial boulders surrounding the house.
The living room has a gas fireplace which is controlled by a wall switch and thermostat. The oak dining table with harp chairs seats six people. The furnishings are Early American in maple, oak & pine woods. There are many wall hangings that our family have personally made. The fossil stone hearth and wall was a joint family endeavor and we are proud of our handy work. There are two very old childrens sleds hanging on a wall, one was brought home, lashed to our skis, after a trip to Switzerland. The other sled came from, who would ever have thought, an antique shop in Beauford, South Carolina. One pair of old wooden snow skis and bamboo poles were picked up at a thrift shop, years ago, and the other pair from one of our guest who made the donation to the decore. The antique wooden ice skates, over the hutch, came from a flee market in Amsterdam. A cosy enviornment has been the goal of the decorating.
A Jeffry Pine tree grows through the deck providing. The bark of this pine has an almond aroma. Granite rocks face the front base of the house. There are huge granite boulders all around the grounds of the house. These boulders came from Donner Summit deposited here when the glaciers melted.
The chair lift nestled in the glacial boulders, at the side of the house, is from the old Squaw Valley "Emmigrant Lift".
ENJOY!!!
