Lovely cozy peaceful spot on the lake
We keep returning to this home because it feels like a home away from home for us. It's across the street from the little market and Donner Lake Kitchen which is great for brekafast/lunches. The home is directly on the Lake with beach/sand areas and we enjoy rock hunting even in winter. The house has a nice wood burning fireplace but would appreciate if there was more wood/kindling pieces vs the broken wood slats. Also need paper or newspaper to help light since no kindling and could use long matches vs. lighters. There was some hair, human or dog not sure on the master bed sheets/pillows so a more thorough cleaning would be great but when we contacted management about it we got an instant response which was helpful.

Lakeside Treasure
Perfect lakeside property. Family of 5 fit perfectly with room to spare. Personal beach and pier for the kids and dogs to play. Would love to come back. Opted for the late checkout, but the front door code stopped working at the regular checkout time and we were locked out with our dogs still inside when we came back from lunch. Luckily we had accidentally left the back door unlocked so we were able to get back in.

Unforgettable house and vacation
We had an absolutely wonderful time at this beautiful property. The house is absolutely stunning with amazing views of the lake from nearly every room, and the house was stocked with all the essentials (including firewood for the fireplace!). It was magical to be able to jump off the dock into the crystal clear water of Donner Lake. The property is directly across from a mini market, should you forget any essentials. The next door neighbors were lovely as well! We will definitely be returning to this house to make more memories. Thank you so much!!

Great Lake Views and Perfect Family Vacation Home
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!

Return Stay - even better than the 1st
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.

Fantastic lakefront home
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!

Great Cabin
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.

Short stay at Donner Lake, east
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.

Donner Lake is Pristine
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.

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.

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!

Great experience!
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.

Great waterfront access
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!

Not worth the cost
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.

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.
