The pace was clean , is fully equiped ,the bbq had propaneis within walking distance to the lake , and a shortbdrice to town, and Donner state park, a short drive to Lake Tahoe ,very cute house. The only thing is that for the summer the home does not have air-conditioning and if its hot out side it can get up to 80 or 79degrees inside the house they have fans and it helps to be able to sleep at night, but it gets hot. Otherwise the home is great and comfortable and quiet neighborhood. We would visit there again.it was great.

The house is clean and the perfect size for a family of four and a dog! It's also in a great location. The public docks can be accessed on foot in less than one minute, and downtown Truckee is only five minutes by car.

Everything was as expected- no air conditioning but screens on the windows and fans for each room made it comfortable. The location is great - right across the street from Donner Lake access on the public piers and just a short walk to the private beach and state park. The house was perfect for our family of 6 adults. It was great to have access to the Tahoe-Donner resort and beach facilities for $20 pp/ per day. We look forward to coming back.

This house was in an amazing location, perfect for boating with our own inflatable raft and kayak (which we could store in the garage). Two public piers and a small beach area are just 200 ft away. They were will stocked for beach and water fun, with beach chairs and sand toys and a small inflatable lounge chair for the kids. The kitchen had all the supplies needed. The house was clean and comfortable, and the local host was very helpful when we had questions. I would highly recommend.

As advertised. The best part about this property is the location. Close to everything but somehow out of the way. The rooms are all clean. The house is warm. Not the most luxurious. But the furnishings are comfortable clean and well maintained. All of the appliances and amenities work fine.

My family and I wanted to love this house, but there was a lot in the listing that wasn’t accurate. -Near the lake and ski areas: True -Total Privacy: False, it felt like all the other houses are right on top of you. -Outstanding Views: False. You can see the lake from the house, but the view is through houses, across a busy road, and you can only see a sliver of water. -With a vacant lot next door: False. I suspect there was a vacant lot at one time but it has been built on. The pictures of the outside with no house between you and the lake is out of date and my biggest letdown. -High speed internet: False. We connected to the WiFi easily but could barely get online. Several internet speed tests came back with 6-8 mps. -Quality amenities throughout: Mostly false. The flooring was very nice and the family room was comfortable, but the house has a lot of deferred maintenance. Paint peeling, rusted out vents, and rusted racks in the showers made the house feel run down. -Quality linens: False. Sheets were rough and the bedding felt like it was from the 80s. Be warned that the beds are very firm, I felt sore in spots when I woke up. -Access to Donner Rec Facilities: true but misleading. You do have passes but it will cost you $20/person to swim at the pool or $12/person to go to the beach. It is very close to the lake though and the host is a very nice person. But we felt pretty let down by the house itself; I wish I had known the above ahead of renting.

Nice little house by Donner Lake. Clean interior with plenty of bedrooms and sleeping areas. Fully stocked kitchen and laundry facilities and easy check in. The house is a 2 minute walk to a cluster of public piers on Donner Lake which we found to be very convenient during this year of high water and little "beach" areas. The one major drawback is that Donner Pass Rd. which runs around the Lake and is between you and the lake is busy with cars driving VERY fast. Can' just let the kids run down to the lake. But otherwise this house is in an ideal location to access Donner Lake, Truckee Downtown and pop over to Tahoe if you want. If you are looking for a huge house ON the lake with giant panoramic view windows, there are plenty of them available, but that's not what this is. Overall found it ideal for our family.
