About this property

A gorgeous lakefront property and marina on the sunny side of Donner

A gorgeous lake front property and marina on the sunny side of Donner Lake, this property is the picture of serenity. If soaking up the warm sun on one of the many decks and docks, or splashing in the brisk clear Donner water appeals to you, this is the place for your vacation. The outdoor decks are perfect for sun bathing, reading your favorite book or watching grandkids play in the protected lagoon. Included in the rental are three SUPs (standup paddle boards), three kayaks, one canoe, one peddle boat, and a Hobie Cat sailboat. The main deck holds a large hot tub to complete your family recreation and relaxation options.

The house is separated into three areas. A main area downstairs at lake level with 4 bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen, 1 full+ 1 single, 4 singles) and 3 bathrooms. There is a large, well-supplied kitchen, dining table for 10, and a BBQ and two picnic tables on the deck for outdoor dining. Upstairs, two one bedroom apartments provide comfortable sleeping for 7 and three additional bathrooms. All units are connected by interior doors that can be closed for privacy if desired. Both apartments have private decks overlooking the water, state park and mountains.

There is ample parking with space for up to 9 cars.

Peaceful serenity meets summer activities as water skiing, sailing, swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, biking and much more are right outside your door. Tennis and golf and the night life of Truckee are minutes away or make the 30 minute trip to Reno for shows and gambling. It is rare to find a location with such natural ambiance and so much to do so close by.

Additional features include: berthing room for a 26’ boat and mooring space for additional boats, large gas barbeque, wind blocked sun deck, laundry facilities, wet suit and towel hanging space, sandbox and toys and a small beach area. Walking distance to Donner State Park and campground and miles of trails, and a short drive to grocery stores, restaurants, and Old Town Truckee.

Make this summer vacation a memory you will cherish for a lifetime!
