Nice clean place, right on the lake. All amenities were stocked and met our needs. Host left helpful notes throughout the house which helped us resolve small problems by ourselves (microwave power went out once but there was a helpful note right next to the microwave to fix the problem).We had a great time!

Fantastic Property

Beautiful, relaxing, fully equipped house with spectacular views of Donner Lake. Walk across the street to sit on the docks for a very enjoyable day. Definitely will stay again and you will not be disappointed. Shirin (owner) great to deal with.

Donner Lake

We had the most wonderful, peaceful week in this beautiful spot. Our boys were close to their MTB camp, and the kitchen was fully stocked and made it easy to make dinners at night. The lake view made every morning just what you are looking for in a vacation home. Shirin was incredibly accommodating and the home itself is pristine.

BEAUTIFUL! View worth the extra money!

My friends and I stayed here for a 50th birthday, and the home and location provided everything we needed for an enjoyable time. The view just off the front deck was enough to keep us home for our meals. A variety of hikes are just a 5 min drive. Proximity to grocery stores, downtown Truckee and restaurants made planning day trips a breeze! The home is actually even better in person, than in the pictures!

Truly wonderful lake house!!

We have rented many vrbo places over the years and this lake house has been by far the nicest. In addition to the beautiful architecture, the large open floor plan was really perfect for our family which includes three kids in their twenties. Everything worked well and we were able to use one of the public docks for several hours each day, after people fishing vacated them, or families left in the late afternoon. We also really appreciated the two kayaks available for use!
