Nice house

The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Beautiful view. Only reason we gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because it stated it’s a 1 minute walk to the Lake which is false. We had to drive or walk about 10-15 minutes which is fine but we wanted to be walking distance because of the kids. Other than that a great place to stay.

Hi Sean, Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We genuinely appreciate your insights. We want to clarify that we don’t advertise the house as being a 1-minute walk to Donner Lake, and we’re sorry for any confusion caused by the VRBO listing. After looking into it, we discovered that VRBO mistakenly lists it as a 1-minute walk next to the map. We have already opened a ticket with them to rectify this issue, and we apologize for not addressing it sooner. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

Great House!

We had a nice time staying at the house. I grew up in Truckee but have never lived at Donner Lake. It was nice to bring my husband and kids here and enjoy being so close. The house was plenty big enough for us and our 8 and 10 year old. My family same to visit and all the cousins had fun with the game room downstairs. The house is kind of right in the middle of China Cove and West End Beach.

Donner Lake getaway

Great little property on Donner Lake, nice views with a balcony and hot tub. Overall great experience but a few smaller issues. First, steep driveway that was very icy with the weather and I definitely needed to shovel/scrape it even with a AWD SUV on all-weather tires. Second floor power was out, (not sure if this wasn't checked beforehand?) but management was helpful in helping me find the circuit breaker to reset things. Ice making wasn't working. Dishwasher a little finicky getting started. But no significant major issues and the kids liked it. Again, overall great homebase on Donner Lake, easy access to Sugar Bowl and local trails/snowshoeing.
