Donner Lakefront Retreat

Permit #: 003242
Occupancy: 8

Enjoy majestic lakefront views of the sunrise, sunset, and surrounding Sierra Nevada at this Donner Lake retreat, a waterfront home with a buoy, two tree-lined decks, and nearby access to beaches, tennis, and world-class skiing. This three-level home sits directly on the southern shores of Donner Lake, only one mile from boat rentals, barbecue areas, and tennis and basketball courts at West End Beach. You'll be just a few steps from the water's edge, five miles east of Sugar Bowl Resort and seven miles east of Boreal Mountain Resort.

You'll immediately feel at home in the great room, a showcase of alpine character with lofty cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows that frame the forest and lake. Grab a few logs to build a fire in the stone hearth, curl up with a good book, or catch up with friends and family on one of the comfortable leather sofas. You'll have all the necessary appliances to whip up a homemade breakfast in the full kitchen, bar seating, an open dining space, and a dishwasher to handle the clean-up.

Spend your summer days swimming, water-skiing, or wakeboarding in the crystal clear waters of Donner Lake, fishing or dangling your feet from the pier, and gazing at the mirror-like reflection of the mountains at sunset. Pull up a beach chair to enjoy the view, light the gas grill for a barbecue dinner, and retreat to the two-level deck for an evening of cocktails and cards.

On snowy winter nights, you can make popcorn and hot chocolate as you use the WiFi to check the next morning's mountain conditions. You'll also have a large cable TV, DVD player, and VCR in the living room - the perfect cozy spot for family movie nights.

On the ground floor, you'll find a private laundry room. Climb the ladder from the great room to reach the large upstairs loft, where children and fun-loving friends will delight in the beds beneath the eaves.

The gorgeous scenery of the Sierras will be right outside your door - don't miss out on this beautiful Donner Lake home!

Winter Weekend
Overall this was a great house for a weekend trip to the snow. Plenty of space and beds, as well as amazing views. We were an easy drive to Tahoe Donner for skiing, as well as Truckee for restaurants, etc. My feedback would to bring anything you might need for cooking that isn't the appliance or cookware (including oils, condiments, coffee/tea, etc.). Also, do not park in the driveway during the winter. Luckily we didn't, because the plow never came and we would have been stuck.

Great location, property could use some basic stuff
Perfect location, rustic older house, enough sleeping quarters. Would be greatly enhanced w some easy and basic things for a rental, like salt! Some games would be great to have too: they have a chess table but no pieces. Just needs some attention and love to make this a great rental.

Beautiful location by the lake
The house met all our expectations for the stay. Lots of space for the kids to run around and play and their "privacy" on the loft. The driveway is steep and was plowed only once during our stay, so we opted to park up next to the road and had to carry everything back and forth through the driveway. Other than this small inconvenience during a very snowy period, it was great!

What a view
I chose the property for the view and deck on the lake. It did not disappoint. It’s definitely rustic, which we enjoyed.

Awesome Cabin!
We had a great stay at this cabin! The living area and set up was great for us. This is a very good cabin, clean, good kitchen, and some outdoor living space that is really fun. While we were there we enjoyed the deck and hanging out on the dock. Being on the lake is the best!

Beautiful view and dock, house questionable
The view and location and dock were amazing. The house is in desperate need of updating and remodeling. It was clean but several issues. The downstairs bathroom shower would not work correctly, the dishwasher was hit and miss, the small downstairs bed had rats or mice eating away at one corner! We didn't discover that until the bed was stripped down at the end of our stay. I desperately wanted to go to a garage sale to update some of the decor-it was bad. With a little bit of updating it would be so nice because the view and location is so nice. Somebody please give this place some love!!

Rustic serenity
This is a great rustic cabin right on the lake with a dock. The house is not about the luxury. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep. The master has a king bed and has an old school according folding divider wall that worked out good for the cousin and her family who has 2 younger children and the loft has 4 single beds. For our family it worked perfectly. Our family is all about outdoor activities. We brought two boats (sail and power) as well as kayas and paddleboards and the dock was perfect for what was needed. We enjoyed the rustic nature of the cabin and being able to wake up and grab some coffee and go sit out on the dock was fantastic. Great, affordable summer rental on the lake.
