About this rental

About This Rental

Lookout Retreat at Schaffers is a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath townhouse in Truckee’s Schaffer’s Mill community, offering 3,086 square feet across three floors and accommodations for up to 8 guests. The home is set in a mountain setting and is arranged to take advantage of golf course and mountain views, including views toward Northstar. It is exclusively yours during the stay, with no shared interior spaces.

The primary living space is on the second floor, where an open-concept layout combines the living room, dining area, and kitchen. This level includes a gas fireplace, Smart TV, and access to the deck. The deck is set up with a grill and outdoor dining seating (BBQ and patio furniture are available May through October, weather permitting). The kitchen includes a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, toaster, and spices, along with cookware and standard essentials.

Sleeping is distributed across three floors. The home’s listed bedding includes 2 king beds, 1 queen bed, and 3 twin beds, and the layout notes an upper-floor primary suite, a downstairs king bedroom with direct patio access, and a bunk room with its own bathroom. Bathrooms are stocked with towels/linens and a hair dryer.

A second living room on the first floor adds flexibility for groups, with a larger Smart TV and a wet bar area with a mini fridge, plus direct access to the lower patio and private hot tub. Parking is available for up to three vehicles (one in the garage and two in the driveway). Winter travel may require 4WD and chains during or after storms. House rules include quiet hours (9:00 PM–8:00 AM), no smoking, no open flames, and no parties or events.

🌲 Private Hot Tub on the patio
🌲 Two spacious living rooms with Smart TV's
🏔️ Stunning mountain and golf course views
🌲 Cozy Living room with gas fireplace and stunning views of Northstar
🌲 Centrally located for hiking, biking, skiing, shopping or exploring downtown Truckee

Imagine waking up in Truckee, coffee in hand, looking out over the 7th green as morning light spills across the mountains toward Northstar. Then imagine ending that same day sinking into a private hot tub on your lower patio, the forest quiet, the stars ridiculous. That is not a special occasion at Lookout Mountain Retreat. That is just a typical day.

Tucked inside the prestigious Schaffer's Mill community, this mountain modern three-story townhome is thoughtfully designed for families and groups who want the full Truckee experience without sacrificing a single comfort.

THE VIEW AND MAIN LIVING SPACE
The heart of this home lives on the second floor, where an open-concept living room opens up to sweeping views of Northstar Ski Resort and the golf course below. Large windows pull the mountains indoors, filling the space with natural light from morning through golden hour.

Pull up to the gas fireplace after a long day out, gather around the dining table for a family dinner with that view as your backdrop, or step straight out onto the deck to fire up the grill. Everything flows together the way a mountain home should.

✓ Gas fireplace
✓ 50" Smart TV with streaming services
✓ Comfortable sofa with pillows and blankets
✓ Direct access to the deck, patio table and BBQ
✓ Views of Northstar and the 7th green

PRIVATE HOT TUB AND OUTDOOR SPACES
Your private hot tub sits on the lower patio just off the first floor bedroom, with unobstructed views of Northstar and the golf course. After a long day of skiing, hiking, or doing nothing at all, this is exactly where you want to be.

The main deck upstairs is equally impressive, with seating for eight, a BBQ grill, and a front-row view of the 7th green and surrounding forest. Two levels of outdoor living means there is always the right spot for any mood.

Deck (Main Floor):
✓ BBQ grill
✓ Patio table with seating for 8 and umbrella
✓ Views of the 7th green, Northstar and the forest

Patio (Lower Level):
✓ Private hot tub with views of Northstar and the golf course

Note: BBQ and patio furniture available May through October, weather permitting.

BEDROOMS: THREE FLOORS, ZERO COMPROMISES
Three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with premium bedding and mountain-inspired décor, give every guest their own retreat to come home to.

Primary Suite (Upper Floor): King bed with en-suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub and walk-in shower
Downstairs Bedroom: King bed with a private door opening directly to the patio and hot tub
Bunk Room: Twin-over-Queen and Twin-over-Twin bunks with en-suite bathroom and walk-in shower

That downstairs bedroom with direct hot tub access is a guest favorite for a reason. Book it before someone else in your group does.

All beds feature premium pillows, linens and sheets.

The home offers three full bathrooms and one convenient half bath, each stocked with:

✓ Fresh towels
✓ Hair dryer
✓ Shampoo, conditioner and body wash
✓ Toilet paper

KITCHEN AND DINING
The fully equipped kitchen is stocked for everything from a quick breakfast before a day on the mountain to a proper dinner that nobody wants to leave. Two coffee options (drip and Nespresso) means everyone starts the morning right.

✓ Stove, oven and microwave
✓ Drip coffee maker and Nespresso machine
✓ Refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher
✓ Blender, toaster and hot water kettle
✓ Full cookware, glassware and silverware
✓ Dining table with seating for 6, plus 2 additional benches
✓ Kitchen island bar with seating for 4

LOWER LIVING ROOM AND WET BAR
The first-floor living area is a destination of its own. A 70" Smart TV, wet bar with mini fridge, and a sofa that converts to an additional bed make it the perfect spot for movie nights, game day, or simply getting out of the way of whoever is cooking upstairs. Step straight out from here to the hot tub and patio.

✓ 70" Smart TV with streaming services
✓ Wet bar with mini fridge
✓ Comfortable sofa with pullout bed
✓ Direct access to the hot tub and patio
