Treat the whole family to an unforgettable vacation to the beauty of Donner Lake and indulge in a stay at this lakefront oasis. From the vaulted redwood ceilings and natural light to the spacious deck and private dock, this home boasts unbelievable spaces to relax both indoors and out. Relax and watch the calm waters of the lake from nearly every room in the home, especially from the living area where you can cozy up with a good book in front of the wood-burning brick fireplace (bring your own wood!). Come summer, everyone can congregate on the deck or out on the private dock and dip their toes in the water. Be sure to set aside some time each evening to soak in the private hot tub and watch the distant mountains turn purple as the sun goes down on the lake.

The Sierra Nevadas are a playground for all sorts of people. In the summer, the lake is filled with boats of all kinds and people wakeboarding, fishing, swimming, and just sitting in the sun. The mountains around the lake are great for hiking, mountain climbing, and biking. In the winter, those same mountains are filled with snow -- Sugarbowl, Donner Ski Ranch, Tahoe-Donner, and Boreal are all right there. In any season, Truckee is a great town to explore for shopping, dining, or catching a game at the Bar of America.

Great for multiple families
We had 3 families and each family had there own floor with 2 bedrooms and a bath. The main floor had one bedroom and a semiprivate bath. The grandparents took the main floor and our children and grandchildren had the other floors. Worked out great.

positive stay
House was great - location and views over the lake were as wonderful as promoted. We really liked the house and were comfortable and happy; only suggestions would be to ensure the heat is on when arriving (it was freezing in the house!), and the kitchen utensils and general supplies need upgrading.

Great Views
The location and views are the best part of this property. The dock and hot tub are why we booked and it did not disappoint. The house is big and has a great space for multiple people. Sadly there were some disappointments with the house. The cleaning was sub par. There were spider webs, dust and hair all over. The refrigerator, microwave and oven were dirty with food. I read a previous review about missing window blinds, which are still missing. The house was not properly stocked as the listing said. There were no dishwasher pods, garbage bags, etc. there was one hair dryer for the whole house and it didn’t work. The kitchen utensils / cookware were not enough for a large group in which the house advertises. The property itself is great. If the owners put a little love into the essentials, and the property management checked on the cleaning crew, this house could be perfect. There is also a large gap on the top deck which is dangerous if you have small children.

Family Fun
This property is prime location, the cabin is great and could sleep 10 people. The only problem we had was the week we were there the smoke from the fire was so bad we were limited to our time out doors. The other issue with this house was there were no large frying pans to cook breakfast. I feel if your able to house 10-13 people how can you cook for them with a tiny frying pan. Also there was no hair dryer. I called Vasca costumer service and asked for the two items and she texted me back that this house does not offer these two. I felt they are such simple things to fix.

Great adventure
Great house and property. Loved the place. The only suggestion is to get some pans appropriate for cooking for a group- only 2 very small pans and not enough forks. Otherwise, wonderful stay!

Loved our time on Donner Lake
House was as advertised., clean and great location. Very spacious for our group 8 adults. Private dock was great. House had all the basic cooking equipment - even had a waffle maker. Small issue with ellectrical on main floor- having living room and dining room lights on at same time kept tripping the breaker. Would definitely book this house again!

The house was very clean and had amazing views of the lake. We went in the winter season but want to go back in the summer to enjoy the lake.
