Please remember that living in the mountains and staying in a private home means that there are some things we cannot control. For example, weather and harsh conditions have knocked out Wifi and the power before. While these instances are rare, we please ask that you are patient as these are things that we unfortunately cannot control. While we will try to accommodate all requests, we handle refunds for situations like this (power outages, appliances breaking, etc.) on a case by case basis.

We had an amazing stay. The view was breathtaking and everyone had a great time. There was something for everyone from parents over children to our dog. We had some snow still, but this property must be a gem during the summer too. We are definitively considering to come back.

Excellent stay! The house had everything we needed and was perfectly located. It was so beautiful and picturesque looking out from the living room to the lake. And we absolutely loved waking up every morning with that gorgeous view of the lake.

We loved our stay! We came with another family. Everyone loved being right on the water. The location was perfect! The house was lovely and plenty of room for all of us. Just a short drive into Truckee. The views were amazing. We enjoyed the cozy nights by the fire. Our group all said they would love to come back again!

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family had an excellent time staying at this beautiful property. The new pier was absolutely stunning and provided the perfect spot for sunbathing and evening sunsets. The views from the house were amazing from the two decks, and the location was perfect, close to donner memorial state park! Check-in and check-out was also very easy making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

The location and house were perfect. Walkable to marina and pub and also walkable to beach/picnic areas. The house sits above the lake - a beautiful view from the decks. We also enjoyed sitting out on the pier. Glad there were beach towels to use. We will be back.
