About the host

Hosted by Alison Kobban

Host profile image
After several years of renting places for both skiing and summer fun, we decided to invest in a place to create our own memories. We were enchanted when we first walked into Norden Lodge. We invite you to stay in our house with its nearly 100 years of history on Donner Summit. Please, join us!

Why they chose this property

Walking into the Norden Lodge, there is an aura, a charm, a history which envelopes the visitor. After passing an extra large "mud room" - used for both winter and summer fun - you enter the Billiard Room which used to house the Norden General Store. This room, its two seating areas, pool tables and multiple musical instruments embody the history of the lodge. After looking at multiple houses, we knew THIS was the one; the one for our kids to enjoy - and hopefully for their kids as well. There are so many nooks and crannies - and SPACE. It is simply unique and amazing!

What makes this property unique

Run for years as a bed and breakfast, there are several bedrooms with full baths "en suite." Located on the property is an old cabin like building that housed some of the men that built the first railroad tracks over Donner Summit. There is history, character and charm from room to room. Given that winters on Donner Summit can sometimes be quite intense, we have a caretaker living in a separate apartment who can be available in case there are issues that arise.
