We are very happily to have found this gem! A beautiful view from the deck of Donner Lake and right across the street is a swimming spot, with many public piers a short walk away. The layout for the cabin is perfect for a crowd. The downstairs sleeping area is a little apartment separate from the main cabin for privacy and an upstairs provides the same, just as part of the main house. Communication with the owner was easy and friendly. The cabin is well equipped and very clean. Would love to stay again!

Our stay here was excellent. From Max calling after we booked to surprising us with a late checkout, everything in between was fantastic. The house is as advertised and plenty big enough to sleep the group of 7 that we had. The access to the lake is very convenient (though those stairs will get ya!). The big deck is perfect for spending the afternoon on. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

We were a party of 12, and the add said this is a 4 bedroom, 3 bath that would accommodate 4 cars. When we arrived, we could barely fit 3 cars. Three men had to dig out snow for two hours in order to fit our vehicles, and luckily we had brought our own snow shovels. There was a laminated "welcome" directive that apologized for the stove not working, but that there was a toaster oven!! Clearly the stove had been broken for a while and there was no possible way we could cook all our meals for four days in a tiny toaster! The directions also said "sorry, but you can't use one of the showers, because it leaks through the ceiling!" It was also clear from the look of the ceiling that it had been in bad shape for a long period of time and not taken care of. Had I been told either of these things, there is no way I would have rented this house. Also, please be aware that the room that looks like a basement, or bonus room, with a semi- kitchen, bedroom and bathroom is NOT part of the main house. You have to go out the back slider, outside, down two flights of stairs to access it. Might be okay in summer, but it was freezing, and the stairs was iced over. There was a small plug in heater for the entire space that did nothing. The couple who slept down there were freezing and extremely uncomfortable. We were very frustrated and disappointed to say the least. We spoke to owner and property manager and the owner gave us back less then 10% of what we paid! This is a premium property as far as what it costs to rent, but until those issues are fixed and the verbage is corrected on description of property, renter beware. It's a shame, because it could be a wonderful place to stay!!

We stayed at this house for Thanksgiving. The location is amazing. You have the view of the lake and the mountains. Perfect to gaze at while drinking your hot cup of coffee. We had a couple of incidence in the house, mainly because the house is a bit older, but it did not damper our holiday. The owner is really nice and you can easily communicate with him. I would stay here again.

Communication with the owner was fabulous! Easy to get ahold of and responded quickly to any questions that came up. The house is comfortable and was stocked well with any thing you may have needed. The views from either deck was amazing and loved the easy walk to the lake! Everyone had a great time!
