We had an amazing stay. The view was breathtaking and everyone had a great time. There was something for everyone from parents over children to our dog. We had some snow still, but this property must be a gem during the summer too. We are definitively considering to come back.

Thank you so much, we appreciate the kind review and would love to have you back!
Excellent stay! The house had everything we needed and was perfectly located. It was so beautiful and picturesque looking out from the living room to the lake. And we absolutely loved waking up every morning with that gorgeous view of the lake.
We loved our stay! We came with another family. Everyone loved being right on the water. The location was perfect! The house was lovely and plenty of room for all of us. Just a short drive into Truckee. The views were amazing. We enjoyed the cozy nights by the fire. Our group all said they would love to come back again!

Thank you for your feedback Robert! We really appreciate it and look forward to hosting you again in the future!
Beautiful views, spacious and nicely appointed interior. Only drawback is there are a lot of steep stairs getting to and from the house itself to the street or to the dock!
Our family had an excellent time staying at this beautiful property. The new pier was absolutely stunning and provided the perfect spot for sunbathing and evening sunsets. The views from the house were amazing from the two decks, and the location was perfect, close to donner memorial state park! Check-in and check-out was also very easy making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place and we are already looking forward to our next visit!
Perfect location, quiet and lovely. Sleeps up to 10 but we we just two couples. Would be perfect for a large family. Well appointed, clean and comfortable beds.
Loved being on the water - great house, well stocked - would come back again. Yes, lots of stairs - but that's pretty much to be expected on the Donner Lake homes
Fantastic property, well located and very convenient. Property was well-stocked, clean and all as advertised.
Indeed it has a lot of stairs, but it is well worth the climb (or descent).
The house was amazing and the perfect location on the lake. We enjoyed every day from morning to night. The house was fully equipped with kitchen items and bedrooms were comfortable. We will definitely be back.
The location and house were perfect. Walkable to marina and pub and also walkable to beach/picnic areas. The house sits above the lake - a beautiful view from the decks. We also enjoyed sitting out on the pier.
Glad there were beach towels to use.
We will be back.
