This stunning and stylish lakefront two bedroom two story townhouse has been completely refinished and features a private beach and private boat dock on the desirable West End of Donner Lake. This is one of the only lakefront locations that offers a full unobstructed view of the entire length of Donner Lake! The townhouse was fully remodeled in 2015 with a brand new kitchen, top-of-the-line GE stainless appliances, all new furnishings, and a full size laundry room with side-by-side washer and dryer.
Enter the home by traveling up one flight of stairs to the front door. Starting at the entryway, every inch of space has been put to use. As you walk in, there's a stone floor, bench and coat rack. A half bathroom leads to a full laundry room with extra storage space. Your eyes will be drawn across the space to the double sliding glass windows that open directly to beautiful Donner Lake. Just past the mudroom space, you're in the beautifully updated kitchen. Top line appliances compliment the dark wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and modern, pendant lighting. An island gives the cook a little extra room, with space for family to sit and chat. Sharing the open space, the large dining room table has room for all, and a skylight adds natural lighting. The living area, open to both the kitchen and dining area, completes the floor. A flat screen TV/blue Ray DVD and a wood burning stove framed in river rock round out the great room space.
Off the living space a covered deck with adirondack chairs are waiting for you overlooking your private beach and the crystal clear water of Donner Lake. On the deck you have the entire length of the lake in view - simply breathtaking! The deck and private beach also offer an incredible front row seat to the Donner Lake 4th of July fireworks!
Upstairs, you'll see additional entertainment options; including a loft space with flat screen TV/DVD and an entire wall filled with books, DVDs, and games. A trundle bed converts to two twin beds for extra sleeping space. The first bedroom upstairs features a king bed and access to a balcony. The rustic wood furniture reminds you you're living the mountain life!
Sharing the upstairs balcony, the second bedroom offers a queen bed with one twin bunk bed for siblings or best buddies to share. The large upstairs bathroom features a shared vanity area with a full shower space and toilet that can close off for privacy. On the other side of the sink area, there's an oversized soaking tub surrounded by tile with room for toys or a book and a glass of wine; which can also be closed off.
The townhouse comes with a dedicated boat slip, lounge chairs, shared barbecues, picnic table areas and an on-site marina. The on-site marina offers a full selection of rentals from kayaks and paddle boards to jet-skis, ski boats and pontoon boats. Everything you need is right here!
Donner Lake is a year-round playground! Boating, skiing, and fishing are of course the top draws, but spring flower watching and fall hiking/biking are not to be missed. In the winter, enjoy easy freeway access and a few minute drive to Boreal and Sugar Bowl Ski Resorts. Northstar and Squaw Valley are easy 20 minute drives. All you need is steps away!
Enjoy the best Donner Lake has to offer at this beautifully appointed and updated vacation rental! We look forward to welcoming you to Donner Vista!

Nice place. A couple of issues:
1) needs deep cleaning- place was dusty and the baseboards were dirty
2) Every door knob and lock needed repair or replacement- we had trouble locking and unlocking doors

This is a phenomenal condo. It was a perfect layout for our family. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The location is wonderful. We walked to the boat/ paddle board rental company. Had a great day on the lake. Very relaxing vacation.

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. Everything was even better than described. The view from the balcony was awesome. It was the perfect place to explore the surrounding area and to get away from the crowds.

We have stayed at this property a few times and it never disappoints. The property is clean and well appointed with easy access to all the Truckee/Donner area has to offer. We mostly enjoy this property because we bring our ski boat and are able to dock and ski every day! The neighbors are also fun to get to know! Always a positive experience.

Beautiful lake view condo. We enjoyed our week very much, beautiful weather, loved waking up to the beautiful lake every morning, and every evening seeing the moon shimmer on the water was awesome , we even got to to see the meteor shower, it was awesome . The kitchen was very nicely equipped and easy to work in, the loft was a great place to read , it had a library of books and dvds for all ages. Even though there is no AC, it was comfortable with the sliding doors left open and fans. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck watching the boats and paddle boarders. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful condo
We had a wonderful weekend in this beautiful condo. The views are amazing and walking in makes you feel happy and relaxed. Great use of space- even though condo is compact- we never felt cramped- very comfortable with plenty of space for the six of us. Very clean, great furniture. Amazing to have easy lake access and our sons spent the weekend mountain biking.

Fabulous Place & Location!
We loved staying here and will book a reservation for next summer! The location on the water was superb with fantastic lake views and the dock right out front. The condo/townhouse was nicely decorated and we didn't need a thing. The neighbors were also very nice. We highly recommend this unit!

Nice condo right on the lake
We had a great time and really appreciated the location - it was very convenient to get to, easy parking and right on the lake. We appreciated having lots of books/DVDs and toys for the kids to enjoy. The kitchen was well stocked as well. We'd love to come back again!

The best waterfront vacation!
This property was perfect for 2 families. The view, boat slip, beach, grassy area, everything was perfect! The place isn’t huge but spacious and comfortable. We kayaked, paddle boarded, boated, walked to the Pub and ice cream. Never once needed to get in our car. We’ll definitely be back.

A memorable stay
This was a wonderful property right on Donner Lake. I'm not sure the pictures in the listing can even capture how beautiful the setting is - you just need to see it for yourself. Everything about our stay was flawless and the host, Holly, was excellent. This is truly a special place. Thanks for letting us spend a few days there. We'll be back soon!

Beautiful lakeside condo
It was a wonderful experience staying at Donner lake. The condo is right beside the lake and has plenty of sunshine. We definitely plan to go back again. The whole stay was a wonderful experience for the whole family!!

Exceptional condo location
We loved this location, better than expected. Family members that live in the area loved visiting us. Sandy area and sand toys for the kids, boat slip, swimming area were right out the door. Great grill and very clean picnic tables. Exceptional views. Condo met all our needs. Very comfortable sleeping areas and well stocked kitchen. Young adults went hiking several times. Other: Wish there were 2-3 fans for bedrooms;/ loft area. And parking lot was closed due to repaying the lot when we were leaving. Had to make many trips to the car in a parking lot a few minutes away. Regular coffeemaker not keurig for future guests.
Overall, this rental condo was exceptional due to the beautiful location./ view. The condo is only feet away from the lake. My party of 5 would definitely return to this condo. Appreciate the owners renting their condo out. Loved this place!!!

Anniversary getaway
Beautiful, well appointed, comfortable condominium. The view of the lake and mountains behind it was spectacular!
5.0
Perfect spot
The condo is very nice with lovely views over Donner Lake. Quiet and beautiful yet close to skiing, Truckee, etc. A great bonus to have a little cafe across the road. The kitchen was well stocked and the unit was clean and comfortable. My only nits are small ones -- that the bedside lamps need brighter bulbs for reading in bed and it would be nice to have wood in the house for at least one fire. There was lots of kindling/starters but only one log. Overall, though, it was a perfect spot for a spring break for my daughter and me. Thanks.

Beautiful view
The view is stunning and greets you as soon as you walk in the door. The condo is well stocked and has everything you need. Nice design and comfortable. It's positioned perfectly between Sugar Bowl and Truckee where we skied then went for dinner later. We had a very peaceful relaxing time and plan to return.

Beautiful Views!
The experience was great! The view of the lake was wonderful. The kitchen is well equipped. Everything was clean. The deep soaking tub was an extra plus! There were plenty of games and books for my kids. We would definitely visit again.

Great Escape!
We really needed to get away from it all and have some piece & quiet. This was the perfect place to build a fire, have a glass of wine & watch it snow (and the trains on the other side of the lake! ).

Lovely setting right on the lake! Relaxing, quiet, & a beautiful view. Beds were very comfortable. Agree w/ previous comments about coffee mugs with chips (a minor thing), and agree with comment the upstairs bathroom could use an update. The sink knobs were odd to turn the water off & should be replaced. Also could not get bathroom outlet to work so used downstairs bathroom for drying hair, etc. Not a huge deal. Overall, three adults really enjoyed our stay.
