Great place. Nice dock and water access.We highly recommend parking your car in the garage. We parked in the driveway under the large pine trees, there were high winds which blew the young, dense, heavy pinne cones off the high branches, which caused significant damage to our car.

We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the dock and water access during your stay! It sounds like you made the most of the beautiful setting. We appreciate your recommendation about parking in the garage; those pine cones can definitely be a bit unpredictable, especially in windy conditions. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway by the lake soon!

As usual, this is our happy place in the mountains. We had a lovely time and its convenience to sugar bowl, 10 mins, and truckee main drag, 8 mins, but quiet peaceful location on the lake was ideal. We’d move in if we could :). My son, age 6, has the best time even in winter rock hunting on the beach and we both enjoyed bird watching right from the dining table in morning and afternoon!

Short stay at Donner Lake, east

We have in the past stayed in the western portion of the lake and found that this stay provided more vistas without having to drive anywhere.

Perfect lake house

This house was exactly what we were looking for when planning our summer vacation. Plenty of room for family activities, clean rooms, and lake front access. We had an amazing time on the dock and watching the sunset from the balcony or kitchen table. We will definitely be back.

Great Fishing off the Private Dock.

Beautiful home in a perfect location. Loved the view of Donner Lake, and really enjoyed the train traveling the mountains across the way. High-end outdoor furniture made it extra special. Our DOG rates it 5-stars, also!!
