Nice house
The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Beautiful view. Only reason we gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because it stated it’s a 1 minute walk to the Lake which is false. We had to drive or walk about 10-15 minutes which is fine but we wanted to be walking distance because of the kids. Other than that a great place to stay.

Great House!
We had a nice time staying at the house. I grew up in Truckee but have never lived at Donner Lake. It was nice to bring my husband and kids here and enjoy being so close. The house was plenty big enough for us and our 8 and 10 year old. My family same to visit and all the cousins had fun with the game room downstairs. The house is kind of right in the middle of China Cove and West End Beach.
