It is part of the charming town of Truckee- which has become a center for outstanding restaurants, summer outdoor dining and good shopping. Boat, paddle board, wave runner and other water sport rentals a short walk down the street. Bike and other summer sport rentals nearby.

-a choice of all of the local outdoor activities and, in the winter, your choice of ski resorts, instead of being relegated to the one where your hotel is located.
-letting the kids eat dinner in- dressed in their PJs
-drinking your own wine and lounging around in comfortable clothes with family and friends
-You want to be lakeside during the summer months. No luxury hotels exist on Donner Lake.
-evening dinners lakeside while the kids continue to play or fish as the sun sets.
-to avoid the extra expenses such as the daily resort fees, tips, and countless meals, beverages and snacks out.

The owners love the Tahoe area and all of the fun, healthy family recreation it provides both in the summer and winter.

Why they chose this property

This property was purchased and renovated to be state-of-art in energy efficiency, electronics and appliances with dual purpose in mind. We wanted to be able to enjoy Tahoe in hassle-free, luxury like we were staying in a penthouse, timeshare or suite at one of the top local resorts. For years, we stayed at the top hotels in the area and found that staying at a resort limited our options for places to ski, restaurants and activities. In the summertime, we found ourselves wishing for lake views and better access to all of the summertime lake activities. We searched to find just the right house or condo on and near both Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe. A 45 minute shorter commute to the Bay Area, better access to our favorite ski resorts, warmer and more family-friendly waters made Donner Lake our first choice. After three plus years of searching, we found this property and this unit. We envisioned it being brought up to date while also highlighting its really great 1972 post-modern architectural structure. We believe we have done just that are are thrilled to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

-Everything is new, clean and top of the line.

-15-20 minutes to ski resorts. Sugarbowl, 9 miles, Squaw Valley 17 miles, Northstar 16 miles.
-Private Beach with chairs, toys, boat dock, gazebo and charcoal BBQ amenities.
