About this property

Donner Creekside Cabin

Located in the highly desirable west shore of Donner Lake this quaint cabin has all of the charm Tahoe has to offer. Skiing at local resorts, shopping and dining in historic downtown Truckee, or hiking and biking on world class trails are all out your back door. Cozy up next to the fireplace or relax in the hot tub after a long day of adventures. Or just enjoy and play in the snow outside your front door. This one of a kind property backs up to 6 acres of undeveloped land with Donner Creek running through it. The cabin allows plenty of privacy while still being conveniently located within walking distance to a neighborhood cafe. It is truly a special place!

This was our 3rd time staying here for a reason. Britta is a fantastic host with great communication. The property is perfect for my family of four. Our kids, 11 and 12, love going down to the creek and playing in the snow. The hot tub is always clean and hot...perfect after a day on the slopes. The property is well appointed and the location is superb. We will be back again for sure!

Great stay!

Perfect place for a quick weekend away with my daughters. The cabin is very sweet and cozy, plenty of games, puzzles, legos to keep the kids entertained on a snowy day. Fun backyard to play in the snow and super close to Donner ski ranch and Truckee. We will definitely be back for another stay. Maybe next time in the summer

Cozy Creekside Cabin

This was our 2nd time staying at this amazing property. Britta was a fantastic host once again with exceptional communication. The cabin had everything we needed and more. The location along Donner creek is peaceful and serene. Being able to sit in the hottub after a full day on the slopes is a real plus. We will stay here again for sure!

Cosy cabin in a great location

We really enjoyed our time in the cabin and we hope to come back for a longer stay later this year. The cabin was a perfect size for us and was filled with sunlight through all the windows. The location is fantastic in a quiet neighborhood and right next to a beautiful creek. It was very clean and had pretty much everything you would need to cook a meal.
