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.

Great family destination right on the lake.
4.7
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.
4.7
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!
4.7
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.
4.7
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.

We will be back!

Everything was perfect and we can’t wait to stay here again. Oh and that view! We think it’s the best spot on the lake. We like that the decor isn’t too cabin cutesy bears/moose/fish. It was truly dog friendly so everyone had fun.
4.7
The location of the charming property is outstanding. Waking up in the morning and seeing that water ringed by mountains is the best thing ever. The house is well-equipped. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
4.7
Wow! Just wow! Amazing house, patio, deck. Beautiful perfection. Only thing that needs looking at is the stove, it didn’t get up to temp on the standard oven, but we just used the broiler instead.
4.7
What a fabulous property! It was amazing and the renovation looks great. Very comfortable and great for our group. My only concern was I didn’t know where the trash can was (outdoors - inside trash can was obvious) so I just left the bags of garbage in the garage. I felt bad leaving a mess but I tried! Haha I would recommend to anyone who wants to stay at a beautiful location.

Stunning views, set back from the road so it was very quiet and peaceful. Right on the water with the private dock, many outdoor options for coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. A small store across the street and a good restaurant if needed. No need to drive if you don't want to. Very good Bar-b-Q on the deck. Loved it, very relaxing.

For the amount we paid to stay there for 5 nights, I would expect the place to be clean. The odor when we first walked in the house was horrendous, like moth balls. Had to air out the house and the smell never totally went away. I had to vacuum because the door mats were covered in what seemed like pet hair. The vacuum did not work. The sheets in middle room did not seem clean. The dresser drawers needed cleaning too. The outdoor furniture was filthy. I spent one afternoon hosing it all down free of spider webs and dust. I am super bummed that I was charged so much money to stay here. Wanted to leave after first night but they never fully got back to me on a refund. Super disappointed.

We loved the location of this property. It was as advertised. A bit dated and worn but comfortable and clean, you cannot beat the view or the location. It was the perfect setup for our family. Great to have the little store and the restaurant across the street, we brought our kayaks and paddle boards and loved the easy access to get out on the water. We will be back!

The house is out of olive oil, salt & pepper in the shakers, only one and a half rolls of paper towels provided, quality of paper towels and toilet paper cheap one ply, no dishwasher detergent or cleaning supplies, dishwasher had horrible odor had to purchase dishwashing soap to run dishwasher twice, not enough garbage bags supplied, when we arrived a large sliding glass door was out in front of the property not very appealing, insufficient outdoor lighting, could certainly use more bath towels or state that personal towels are needed, bed pillow cases are horrible & scratchy, in master bedroom bottom of tv dresser broke upon arrival, walls behind bed frame marked up in master, scratches on every door in the house, weeds in the pavers by the lake, terrible ant issue on pavers, I'm disappointed that I spent $9,401.87 for a three night stay.

The home is in a beautiful location, literally a stone's throw from the southern shore of Donner Lake. The layout worked well for our family with three proper bedrooms, and it was nice the my husband and I had access to the private master bath while our teenage sons could share the other upstairs bathroom. The kitchen had all of the utensils and cooking supplies we needed. And it was great that we could bring the dog with us.

Spring break
The location and view were excellent. Good amount of space for the 4 of us. Having the dock was exactly what we wanted-just to be able to sit and relax. The only downside was the middle room‘s bedsheets weren’t clean. And my husband stepped on a piece of glass in the master bathroom from an unknown source.

Wonderful house and experience!
This house was lakefront to Donner Lake and was absolutely perfect for us. We were two families, with a total of nine people, and we fit perfectly in this house, which provided amazing views, all of the things we needed to stay more than comfortably and the opportunity for wonderful memories. They really did think of everything that we need, up to blankets, games, books and magazines, and all that we needed to make our meals. The store and small cafe across the street were clutch, and the dock was heavenly.

Donner Lake House
Nice house right on the lake with dock. Although it was a bit smokey due to the fires around Sacramento- we still had a great time. Would recommend to the owner to install ceiling fans in the bedrooms-it is fairly inexpensive, but great for summer and winter:)
