Nestled near the shores of Donner Lake, this charming home is the ultimate mountain retreat. Take in panoramic lake and mountain views from the expansive multi-level deck. To explore, visit the natural splendor of Lake Donner's West End Beach, boasting 10 acres of sandy shores, sports courts, and boat rentals. In winter months, plan a visit to Sugar Bowl Resort, offering 100 ski trails for all levels of expertise - less than five miles away.

With plenty of living space and comfortable furnishings, the amenities will make you feel right at home. Floor-to-ceiling windows, cathedral ceilings, and a southern exposure ensure abundant natural light throughout the open living space. Gather beside the wood-burning fireplace with hot cocoa and enjoy the warm ambiance. Entertain and whip up home-cooked meals in the modern kitchen, outfitted with stainless steel appliances. When it's time to eat, grab a seat at the breakfast bar, rustic dining table, or out on the deck, with an additional dining area and a gas grill for easy family cookouts.

Spend the evening soaking in your private hot tub or chatting beneath the stars around the firepit. Living rooms on each level of the home offer plenty of space to relax at the end of the day, with 70-inch TVs on both the middle and top level and a 55-inch TV and huge velvet sectional on the bottom floor. A pool table, wet bar, dart board, cocktail classic video game table with over 400 classic video games, free WiFi, board games, and 55-inch TVs in every bedroom round out your entertainment options. At the end of the night, retreat to one of the inviting bedrooms to recharge for the next day’s activities.

Awesome family vacation!
Highly recommend this property! We had a family vacation and the property was just perfect for us. There’s plenty of space and everyone had their own room & bathroom. The lower level with the pool table & large couch was perfect for hanging out. The spa & fire pit were awesome with views of Donner Lake. We had all our dinners at the house & the kitchen was well equipped with the BBQ out on the upper deck. The views of the lake and mountains were really spectacular. Easy access just a short drive down the hill for water activities. Be sure to make a trip to the ice cream shop close by. Our property manager was very responsive and attentive. Really special vacation & we’d definitely stay again!

Very good experience
Very good view of lake and mountain. Quiet neighborhood and close to a lot of things, Donner lake/Tahoe donner/Truckee downtown/Safeway. And my kids love the toys:) Last and the most important, the customer service is very very nice. They are very patient and always answer my questions quickly. The only thing I could complain is the mattress…..the mattresses is too soft for me, which is totally personal. I think I will consider renting this house again this summer.

Beautiful house and location
Our family had a wonderful time! Brought our boat, nice spacious driveway to park it in and a two minute drive to the launch! Very clean and nicely decorated! The only issue we had was our door code to get in did not work when we arrived. We had to drive to find coverage where we could call customer service. They did change it for us though; that was the only hiccup!

Excellent home for a race weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. It was very clean, had everything we needed and provided plenty of space for us. It’s actually a 3 bedroom, 4.5 bath home, which I don’t believe is in the listing. The views of the lake were lovely with an evening glass of wine. My husband did the Donner Lake Triathlon this weekend and it was just close enough to get there easily and just far enough to be quiet and secluded. I would love to stay here again for our next trip to Donner.

Wonderful view and location
We highly recommend this property! The house has a great view of Donner Lake and big windows and decks to take advantage of it. We found the location right off 80 freeway to be super convenient. Also the home is well maintained, clean and appointed with everything you need. Very comfortable.

Loved this location!
We had an amazing time at this cabin. The lake view is so peaceful from the deck and dining room. We made a fire in the wood stove a couple nights too which was so cozy. Amazing patio furniture. :) I'm a total foodie so I was happy to have such a full set up for cooking, serving and dining. They even have it stocked with tons of glassware including wine and champagne glasses. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well stocked with toiletries. The oven was needing to be fixed (broken screen) but the property management helped us out completely. They were very easy to reach. They were a little short on blankets so they stopped by with a giant handful of extra bedding. I would absolutely stay here again.

Fantastic location - great for (2) families with children.
Really enjoyed the house.. A) Unbeatable location. quiet road, excellent access for lake activities as well as local mountain activities in surrounding truckee neighborhood. B) We really enjoy cooking on Tahoe retreats and found kitchen very well stocked with utensils and other kitchen tools. C) House was very clean and electronics all well labeled. The house however lost a star due to the thermal comfort system. Single zone without controls logic left the upstairs living very warm and master br roasting hot while the lower level bedrooms comfortable. My Garmin watch read 87 deg in the master at night and because the Ecobee stat was locked out, there was nothing we could do. We tried shutting the damper in the master but the velocity of the air resulted in loud whistle at the discharge Next day we notified Turnkey and they offered a standard generic response about the downstairs t-stat and upstairs thermistor using an averaging method. That didn't help fix the situation. We got their attention day 3 and they finally gave us owner's password after going back and forth for an entire morning for us to adjust the stat. We were able to set the stat at 66 deg and just use local electric spot heaters on low in the kids rooms at night and then the master was closer to comfotable mid 72d. Still had awful sleep the first two nights which is unreasonable when paying throttled holiday rates.

This property has a million dollar view of Donner Lake that’s just breathtaking! The house is in great condition and decorated so lovely! It’s great having two living spaces if you bring kids along! We were surprised by the Xbox for them to play on, as well as there being a pull out twin bed I. The bunk bed set. Also, they had an air mattress available. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are clean! The kitchen and dining area are beautiful and perfect for a big family gathering! We were close by to ski resorts and snow parks! Having the two car garage to park in was very helpful, as well as main level entry access, great for elderly people with bed and bath on main level. We will be back for future family trips!!!

White Christmas
Postcard view of the lake. Snow covered trees made for a heavenly experience. We used all the beds and all 10 of us were comfortable. Fantastic gathering place for our extended family. Great kitchen and dining table for our group. Had all the pots and pans we needed and plenty of utensils. Bring your own extra toilet paper and paper towels to avoid a trip to the store. The garbage cans were already full when we got here.

All about the view
We were 4 friends having a girlfriend getaway and were very happy with our stay. Spectacular views of the lake from living, dining and all bedrooms. All new furniture and furnishings (mostly IKEA) including charging lamps by the beds. All beds reported as comfortable including the bunks which were occupied by adults. Rooms are spacious. Night lights everywhere, big tvs in all rooms though we didn't turn any of them on; good linens. It would be nice to add blackout curtains in bedrooms, some body lotions and tissues as amenities. We couldn't open doors to deck when we first arrived but finally were able to loosen them. Called maintenance and they said they'd send someone after we left, which was ok since we were able to use them. Hope to come back to this house again.
