About this property

Donner Lake mountain-view delight - multi-level deck & private hot tub views

Summary:

Heaven by the Lake



The Space:

Permit #: 003482

Occupancy: 14



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.

Beautiful spacious house with great views. The hot tub and fire pit were an added bonus. Overall the house was clean with the exception of a badly stained bedspread and several dishes in the cupboards were dirty. The kitchen faucet needs repair as well as drywall in the stairwell and the bench by the dining room table. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again and have recommended this place to our friends.

Amazing Retreat

The wide open outdoor spaces with incredible views of Donner Lake and the Summit made for a relaxing place to spend time with friends and family. With plenty of amenities there isn't much else you could ask for on a mountain retreat. Quiet neighborhood, in a stunning place. Its a must stay if you're wondering where to be to entertain on your trip!

Spacious lake view home

Great rooms with lots of space for your family/group with good layout. During winter it can be hard to heat the top floor so bring firewood for the fireplace in the main living room and enjoy your stay.

Hi Marissa, Thank you for the compliments, and we love hearing how much you enjoyed your stay with us! In regards to the lack of salt, pepper, and spices TurnKey does not stock any food-related items in our homes in order to prevent guests from consuming anything that has either been contaminated or has spoiled. You were the perfect guests, and we appreciate you taking care of our place as if it were your own. Please come and stay again at any time! -The TurnKey VR Team

Hi Veronica, Thank you so much for your review, and we’re happy to hear that you had a great stay at our place! That being said, we’re so sorry to hear about the trash and recycling being left at the house during your stay with us. We wish we had known so that we could have helped out then -- our 24/7 guest hotline is always available if anything ever comes up while staying at one of our properties. We can’t wait to have you stay with us again!! -The TurnKey VR Team

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.

Beautiful home with a great view, not recommended for the elderly, the stairs are no joke. We ran into a couple house issues but hopefully they will be resolved with our feedback.
