Set right on the rippling, crystal clear waters of Donner Lake and boasting 180-degree panoramic views of the mountains to the south, this wonderful, two-story vacation rental offers an extremely comfortable and serene location for the perfect family vacation! Enjoy plentiful sunshine throughout the year both inside and out while you prepare your favorite recipes in the well-equipped, full kitchen with stainless steel appliances including a five-burner gas range. Dine together indoors at the breakfast bar, at the cozy kitchen table, or al fresco out on the deck complete with a gas grill for summertime cookouts. And in the evenings, settle into the inviting living area warmed by a wood-burning stove and stream your favorite shows and movies on the flatscreen TV. Back outside, discover 50-feet of easy access, a private waterfront as well as a dock and buoy for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and of course boating and trout fishing.

For your convenience, there is a market directly across the street for essentials as well as Donner Lake Kitchen, one of Truckee's most popular breakfast restaurants. Guests will also find community tennis and basketball courts at West End Beach, a 10-acre recreational park, just a little over two miles west.

Plenty of space for our adult children and their plus ones (total of 6) and a dog. Great views of the lake from most rooms of the house and deck. The lower landing has very comfortable seating and is the perfect place to hang out to take in the lake view. Having our own dock to come and go as we please on our kayaks and paddle boards was great. The kitchen had everything you could need and bathrooms were stocked with plenty of soaps/tp/shampoo and body wash. Very clean and comfortable! Love that it is across the street from Donner Lake Kitchen, the best breakfast spot! Cannot wait to return!

My son and I have so enjoyed our two stays at this lovely home right on Donner Lake. There are views from almost every room and window in the house. There is a big outdoor area including a beach which even in late spring was beautiful to enjoy rock collecting and fishing from the shore. It's just 8 minutes to downtown Truckee for restaurants and shops and the train station. 10 minutes to Sugar Bowl, 10 minutes to Tahoe Donner Downhill, 5 minutes to Safeway. I would have loved access to a vacuum while there and some snow play toys like a tube or sled but all in all this house is a gem.

My son and I had the most relaxing time at this home that is right on the lake. It was very cozy with the fireplace and big breakfast nook table/window seat/lovely kitchen/big outdoor space with lawn/beach sand area/terraced yard/and the comfy bedrooms upstairs. There was some hair here and there on some furniture and the floors, but I'm not sure if it was humans or dog. We did bring our own small dog on the vacation, thank you dog-friendly rental, but the hair was longer, so I'm guessing from a pup before us. But that aside, I've already re-booked this home for a future trip because we loved it so much. Also a big highlight to be directly across the street from the famous/delicious Donner Lake Kitchen and the little grocery/general goods store. Just 8 minutes to downtown Truckee, 5 minutes to Safeway for bigger grocery run (yes instacart worked there too!), 11 minutes to Sugar Bowl Sugar Rush Tubing, and 10 minutes to Tahoe Donner downhill. Great spot all in all!

We enjoyed our stay. There was a storm the last night and power was out but we used the fire place to keep warm. Beautiful views from the living room and bedrooms. We will definitely be coming back this summer to do some fishing.

It was fantastic location and view. The home is absolutely gorgeous and clean. The only thing I could complain about is …the beds were so uncomfortable, hard and small …for the price you’re paying I’d say it’s not too much to ask for a comfortable bed. It’s also hard to enjoy your day when you’re not sleeping well. Other than that it was great!

We have in the past stayed in the western portion of the lake and found that this stay provided more vistas without having to drive anywhere.

Beautiful location with a lovely setting on the lake with dock access. Sand area for children was a plus! Near a market across the trip was great. Master bed was too firm. Not enough towels for a group of 8. The towels were new, with tags still on them. Therefore lint was a problem until we washed them. Bathroom floors were not cleaned. It would have been nice to have umbrellas to protect from the sun on the deck and by the lake area. Also, perhaps a few beach and lake toys would be nice. But not necessary as we brought blowup paddle boards and a raft. Furniture on the lake was in great condition.
