About this property

Donner Vista: Lakefront Condo with Boat Slip, Sandy Beach and Unbeatable Views

Welcome to Donner Vista!

This stunning and stylish lakefront two-bedroom townhouse has been completely remodeled and offers a private beach and private boat dock on the highly desirable West End of Donner Lake. One of the few lakefront properties with a full, unobstructed view spanning the entire length of Donner Lake, this home provides an incredible setting for a true lakeside getaway. Fully renovated in 2015, the townhouse features a brand-new kitchen with top-of-the-line GE stainless steel appliances, updated furnishings throughout, and a spacious laundry room with a full-size side-by-side washer and dryer. The ice maker and water dispenser does not work and isn' t fixable. There are ice trays available

Enter the home by traveling up one flight of stairs to the front door. Starting at the entryway, every inch of space has been put to use. As you walk in, there's a stone floor, bench and coat rack. A half bathroom leads to a full laundry room with extra storage space. Your eyes will be drawn across the space to the double sliding glass windows that open directly to beautiful Donner Lake. Just past the mudroom space, you're in the beautifully updated kitchen. Top line appliances compliment the dark wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and modern, pendant lighting. An island gives the cook a little extra room, with space for family to sit and chat. Sharing the open space, the large dining room table has room for all, and a skylight adds natural lighting. The living area, open to both the kitchen and dining area, completes the floor. A flat screen TV with Blu-Ray DVD player and a wood burning stove framed in river rock round out the great room space.

Off the living space a covered deck with Adirondack chairs are waiting for you overlooking your private beach and the crystal clear water of Donner Lake. On the deck you have the entire length of the lake in view - simply breathtaking! The deck and private beach also offer an incredible front row seat to the Donner Lake 4th of July fireworks!

Upstairs, you'll see additional entertainment options; including a loft space with flat screen TV and DVD player and an entire wall filled with books, DVDs, and games. A trundle bed converts to two twin beds for extra sleeping space. The first bedroom upstairs features a king bed and access to a balcony. The rustic wood furniture reminds you you're living the mountain life!

Sharing the upstairs balcony, the second bedroom offers a queen bed with one twin bunk bed for siblings or best buddies to share. The large upstairs bathroom features a shared vanity area with a full shower space and toilet that can close off for privacy. On the other side of the sink area, there's an oversized soaking tub surrounded by tile with room for toys or a book and a glass of wine; which can also be closed off.

The townhouse comes with a dedicated boat slip, lounge chairs, shared barbecues, picnic table areas and an on-site marina. The on-site marina offers a full selection of rentals from kayaks and paddle boards to jet-skis, ski boats and pontoon boats. Everything you need is right here!

Donner Lake is a year-round playground! Boating, skiing, and fishing are of course the top draws, but spring flower watching and fall hiking/biking are not to be missed. In the winter, enjoy easy freeway access and a few minute drive to Boreal and Sugar Bowl Ski Resorts. Northstar and Palisades Tahoe are easy 20 minute drives. All you need is steps away!

Enjoy the best Donner Lake has to offer at this beautifully appointed and updated vacation rental! We look forward to welcoming you to Donner Vista!

There is no AC at this home. To keep the property cool, open the windows and sliders at night to let cool air in, then close the windows, doors and blinds when you leave for the day.

Other things to note:
*The ice maker and water dispenser does not work and isn't fixable. There are ice trays available.
**If you are bringing a boat, you must check in at the on-site office between the hours of 9am-5pm daily to pick up your boat slip. You must bring a copy of your boat registration and insurance to use the boat slip. If you arrive after 5pm, park your boat and trailer in the "Richards Motel" parking lot across Donner Pass Rd. until the office opens the following morning.

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.
