Donner Lake Cottage | Cozy Pet Friendly Cottage

Welcome to Donner Lake Cottage!

Quaint yet sophisticated, our cabin is located on the West shore of gorgeous Donner Lake. Our 3-bedroom + loft home features a bright, updated kitchen, a full bath, a private backyard, and is close to tons of fun outdoor activities. We love furry friends and welcome one dog during your stay.

Recently redecorated, our home boasts stylish interior furnishings, including a farmhouse-style dining table, comfortable living room couch and chairs, cozy beds and bedding, and new kitchen appliances.

Guests have access to:
- The backyard with a BBQ and fire pit
- The front yard with a cute picnic table and hammock
- The porch, perfect for relaxing underneath the pines

Home Highlights:
- Pet-friendly: bring your pup!
- Open concept living area with new furniture
- Three outdoor areas for complete outdoor living
- Minutes from the beach
- Heating and air-conditioning
- 48” TV in the living room
- Close to hiking, biking, skiing, and historic Donner Summit Bridge
- Fully equipped kitchen
- 3 comfortable bedrooms accommodating up to 7 guests

Walk into this charming cottage and find a bright, open living, dining, and kitchen area that leads straight out to the private backyard, where you'll find a BBQ for afternoon cookouts and a fire pit for summer nights. The first bedroom with a queen-sized bed, access to the backyard, Biddeford blankets, AC, and more is on this level, along with a full bathroom and laundry room.

Upstairs, you'll find the master bedroom with a comfortable king-sized bed, another bedroom with a twin and a full, and an open loft with two twin beds.

Downstairs, enjoy a cozy porch with two rocking chairs and a front yard with a picnic table for outdoor dining.

During your stay, you will have access to our washer/dryer, WiFi, and room for three parked cars.

One lesson we've learned about the great outdoors is the frequent requirement to wipe down the deck furniture. Despite our efforts to maintain the utmost cleanliness for your convenience, it seems that nature is working against us. You may need to wipe down the outdoor table, chairs, and any other outdoor seating. The dust and pollen accumulates within a matter of hours.

Come enjoy the best of mountain lake living at Donner Lake Cottage!
