Family really enjoyed our stay here. Charming rustic mountain spot with great Lake Views. We made good use of wood burning stove for cozy nights in a blizzard. Comfy beds. Easy access. We’d stay there again.

Hard to imagine a better location from which to experience Donner Lake. Great accommodations, as described, with excellent communication.

We needed a place that was close to Truckee but comfortable when we were just hanging out and we found it! Kitchen is well stocked. Parking is easy, and Tor was always just a text or a phone call away if we needed him.

We all loved this condo. It was perfect for a getaway with my daughter in laws❤️. The lake view is amazing as is the mountains surrounding the lake. Great spot away from the town itself but close enough if you need to get supplies or a bite to eat.

Tor's condo was well-appointed and had everything we needed and more. The view was fantastic and the sandy beach was perfect and the boat slip was super convenient. Communication was top notch. Our only complaint was having to leave. We will be back!

We had a lovely stay here. Donner lake is an underrated gem of Tahoe. This property is very well located and multiple watersport rental’s literally next door. Clear instructions and the host of this property was great too. While rustic, the space is cozy and functional. Location can’t be beat with best ice cream in Tahoe across the street. Would recommend for sure.

Short trip to our favorite Cali lake. We enjoyed the view front the deck and my grandson esp. Loved the quick walk to the ice cream shop. The condo has a fully equipped kitchen as we enjoy cooking. Thanks Thor!!!!

We loved our stay. The place was perfect. Everything you could need on vacation. Clean, plenty of room and nice furniture. Great location, directly on the lake. Couldnt ask for better. Watersports available right there if needed. Very relaxed, quiet area. So picturesque. Wish we couldve stayed longer!

We Girl Friends from high school get together yearly in various locations. Always loved Truckee and found this place to work well for us. The view of this condo was awesome looking out on Donnor lake with snow still on mountains. The condo has a very rustic mountain feel which made it very cozy. Weather was ok and after a few thunderstorms we did get some sunshine. The park is close by to do some hikes. Small convenience store and ice cream store walking distance were nice. We were short on a few towels but message Tor to add for future guests. Over all a nice stay.

This is the perfect location and a delightful well-maintained property. The large living room windows view right out onto Donner Lake. The kitchen was well equipped. Tor, the property manager and likely the owner as well, was easy to communicate with. He gave us detailed directions on everything we might want to know. Also he has a great sense of humor. Several in our family group who stayed near by want to rent this place next time!

Love this place. Great spot for skiing at boreal and relaxing with home made cooking. Can just stare out the window all morning and afternoon, the view is spectacular. Great well stocked kitchen and dishwasher is a plus! Get wood for the fire place- toasty and wonderful ambiance. Rustic cabin great with in winter, hope to try out in summer!

Perfect place for a quick NYE ski get away. Tor was very easy to work with and was very helpful during the check in process. Definitely want to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake

Our family of 4 had a wonderful time at this condo over the winter break. The location is perfect, right on Donner Lake (an amazing view!), and is just a few minutes away from downtown Truckee. We thought the condo was clean and in very good condition, and once we got the wall heaters correctly set, very comfortable. Tor was clear and helpful with the check in process, and communication was fast. We hope to stay at Tor's condo again!

I rented this property for my mother and sister's family to stay on a larger group vacation. This review is from their experience:
Tor was attentive and easily reachable. The location was beautiful with a great view, sandy beach and plenty of space to congregate as a group outside. Tor was apologetic and understanding when contacted re: excess mess and broken items in the cabin (not detrimental to our stay, but felt important for the owner to be aware of). The cabin was rustic as per description and as per recommended in the rental documents, we were not "picky." It was a comfortable stay for 3 kids and 2 adults. Please note that as per the listing, cost of stay is based on amount of people (anything above 4) and not based on the 8 person occupancy. We failed to properly cite this and had to come up with a hefty difference in price a week prior to our stay. Overall, we had a great time and were comfortable at this location.

Fabulous views and a wonderful location make this condo a gem!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this great condo. Tor's description of the property as "rustic" set our expectations, but we actually didn't find it that rustic. The condo is spacious and airy. The lake right out the door adds to the peacefulness of the property. We'd definitely return!

Truckee Getaway
The place was super comfy and an excellent place for a family. Everything was stocked well for arrival.

Highly recommend for families!

Tahoe for New Years weekend
Tor was responsive and available for a phone conversation before our trip to advise on travel and hand off the door code. The check in and check out procedures were clearly printed at the cabin as were instructions on how to use the facilities in winter time.
