Our family has a long-standing tradition of spending a week every summer on the west end of Donner Lake, where multiple generations gather to make memories together. This cabin was absolutely perfect for our family and made this year’s trip even more special.The cabin is warm, inviting, and incredibly comfortable. The beds were some of the coziest we’ve slept in, making it easy to relax after long days at the lake. We also appreciated the updated amenities, which gave the cabin all the modern conveniences while still maintaining its charming mountain feel.Everything was clean, well cared for, and thoughtfully equipped. Whether we were enjoying a quiet morning with coffee or coming back after a full day of swimming, paddleboarding, and family time, it always felt like home.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would happily rent this cabin again. If you’re looking for a comfortable, well-appointed cabin near Donner Lake that feels both cozy and welcoming, this is it. Thank you for helping make another year of our family’s Donner Lake tradition so memorable!

The place had a beautiful backyard with the Horseshoes game and there were Tahoe Toffee candies on the kitchen counter for us.

Great cabin better than expected

The check-in was a breeze and they had heated steps to the door which was super awesome. The place was much more modern that the pics looked online and super clean. Kids went straight to backyard and started making snowmen.
