Nestled near the shores of Donner Lake, this charming home is the ultimate mountain retreat. Take in panoramic lake and mountain views from the expansive multi-level deck. To explore, visit the natural splendor of Lake Donner's West End Beach, boasting 10 acres of sandy shores, sports courts, and boat rentals. In winter months, plan a visit to Sugar Bowl Resort, offering 100 ski trails for all levels of expertise - less than five miles away.
With plenty of living space and comfortable furnishings, the amenities will make you feel right at home. Floor-to-ceiling windows, cathedral ceilings, and a southern exposure ensure abundant natural light throughout the open living space. Gather beside the wood-burning fireplace with hot cocoa and enjoy the warm ambiance. Entertain and whip up home-cooked meals in the modern kitchen, outfitted with stainless steel appliances. When it's time to eat, grab a seat at the breakfast bar, rustic dining table, or out on the deck, with an additional dining area and a gas grill for easy family cookouts.
Spend the evening soaking in your private hot tub or chatting beneath the stars around the firepit. Living rooms on each level of the home offer plenty of space to relax at the end of the day, with 70-inch TVs on both the middle and top level and a 55-inch TV and huge velvet sectional on the bottom floor. A pool table, wet bar, dart board, cocktail classic video game table with over 400 classic video games, free WiFi, board games, and 55-inch TVs in every bedroom round out your entertainment options. At the end of the night, retreat to one of the inviting bedrooms to recharge for the next day’s activities.

Beautiful home with a great view, not recommended for the elderly, the stairs are no joke. We ran into a couple house issues but hopefully they will be resolved with our feedback.

This house is absolutely amazing! Our family had a great time and everyone loved the fact that they each had their own bedroom AND bathroom. The views of the lake were spectacular!

Highly recommend this property! We had a family vacation and the property was just perfect for us. There’s plenty of space and everyone had their own room & bathroom. The lower level with the pool table & large couch was perfect for hanging out. The spa & fire pit were awesome with views of Donner Lake. We had all our dinners at the house & the kitchen was well equipped with the BBQ out on the upper deck. The views of the lake and mountains were really spectacular. Easy access just a short drive down the hill for water activities. Be sure to make a trip to the ice cream shop close by. Our property manager was very responsive and attentive. Really special vacation & we’d definitely stay again!

We love Donner lake and have been spending many vacations there since 1980. This vacation home was the best. We loved our stay there. From the hot tub to the fire pit.

This home is fantastic! Tons of space, great view, and the location makes it perfect from the Bay Area. It doesn’t get much better.

Great rooms with lots of space for your family/group with good layout.
During winter it can be hard to heat the top floor so bring firewood for the fireplace in the main living room and enjoy your stay.

Very good view of lake and mountain. Quiet neighborhood and close to a lot of things, Donner lake/Tahoe donner/Truckee downtown/Safeway. And my kids love the toys:) Last and the most important, the customer service is very very nice. They are very patient and always answer my questions quickly. The only thing I could complain is the mattress…..the mattresses is too soft for me, which is totally personal. I think I will consider renting this house again this summer.

Space was great. So many bathrooms! Well stocked kitchen, great location. Only downside was the carpet was incredibly dirty so we always had to have shoes on or the soles of our feet would be very dirty.

Our family had a wonderful time! Brought our boat, nice spacious driveway to park it in and a two minute drive to the launch! Very clean and nicely decorated! The only issue we had was our door code to get in did not work when we arrived. We had to drive to find coverage where we could call customer service. They did change it for us though; that was the only hiccup!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. It was very clean, had everything we needed and provided plenty of space for us. It’s actually a 3 bedroom, 4.5 bath home, which I don’t believe is in the listing. The views of the lake were lovely with an evening glass of wine. My husband did the Donner Lake Triathlon this weekend and it was just close enough to get there easily and just far enough to be quiet and secluded. I would love to stay here again for our next trip to Donner.

The house was lovely with a great view of the lake. It was well equipped and the furnishings were very comfortable. We had a couple of problems: 1 - The sheets on one of the beds had a large stain on it. It appeared that the sheet had been washed, but the stain was very visible. There were no extra sheets in the house and we had to contact Turnkey several times to get a clean set of sheets. 2 - the refrigerator was cool but not cold, again contacted TurnKey, someone was supposed to come and look at it, that did not happen. 3 - there quite a lot of rodent droppings on the deck, it would probably be a good idea to have housekeeping check the deck before they leave.

We highly recommend this property! The house has a great view of Donner Lake and big windows and decks to take advantage of it. We found the location right off 80 freeway to be super convenient. Also the home is well maintained, clean and appointed with everything you need. Very comfortable.

We had an amazing time at this cabin. The lake view is so peaceful from the deck and dining room. We made a fire in the wood stove a couple nights too which was so cozy. Amazing patio furniture. :) I'm a total foodie so I was happy to have such a full set up for cooking, serving and dining. They even have it stocked with tons of glassware including wine and champagne glasses. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well stocked with toiletries. The oven was needing to be fixed (broken screen) but the property management helped us out completely. They were very easy to reach. They were a little short on blankets so they stopped by with a giant handful of extra bedding. I would absolutely stay here again.
