Located near Donner Summit, in a sleepy community called Kingvale, just five minutes from Soda Springs on Highway 80. This Non-Smoking cabin has 1800 square feet. It has knotty pine inside with log accents, a beautiful big stone fireplace, and separate dining area. No sheetrock. Modern heating. A large deck faces the river.
Kingvale is a forested community of charming 1930's and '40's cabins and unpaved roads - it's almost like going back in time. Enjoy a magical retreat where you can relax and play in the summer sun or the winter snow. There are only a couple of owners who rent their cabins in Kingvale. This is a unique opportunity to share in the magic of this cherished place.
Drive to the front door in spring/summer/fall. Walk from the parking lot in winter (about 2 blocks to the cabin). 2 cars maximum in winter.
