5 Mi to Skiing! Family Getaway Near Donner Lake

Absolutely loved our winter stay here. Quiet, comfortable, and despite massive snow and a road closure, it was easy to navigate and enjoy skiing at Sugar Bowl resort. We can’t wait to return and might even try the summer season vibe here.

The house was in a perfect location. It was only a short walk to the lake, Truckee Pub, and the ice cream shop. The kitchen was well stocked for all cooking needs. Property management company is very easy to communicate with. Table/chairs in the back were very weathered, and scattered around the patio area. Lots of tall weeds so not usable. We enjoyed the deck and grill off the 2nd floor.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! The location was peaceful and beautiful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The cabin itself was a great size for our family and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was decently stocked with essentials, and we especially appreciated the cozy atmosphere. We also lucked out with fantastic weather during our visit, which made it even better. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back again!

Great location, close drive to many adventures.

The house was wonderful and could not have been more ideally located. Walking distance to Donner Lale Pub and the ice cream shop, five minutes to ski sugar bowl and ten minutes to Truckee!

The house was perfect for our family and friends. 3 teens. 4 adults. Close to skiing and snow shoeing. Kitchen was stocked with all the equipment we needed. Great table for puzzles and board games. Easy in and out.

What a great house! Well stocked with all the amenities. Plenty of space for our 2 families. Front deck was awesome. 2 min walk to jump in the lake. Perfect location. Will definitely book again next summer!

Clean and comfortable house with a great location. Easy communication from property manager.

Stayed here in March so we could snowboard at Sugar Bowl, which is just 10 minutes to the west. There were only four of us, but the place could easily fit a large family -- lots of places to sleep. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, and when we wanted to go out for a meal, Truckee was only 10 minutes to the east. The owner gave us her cell phone number upon arrival, and we ended up using it when we couldn't find the remote for the DVD player. (They have a solid collection of movies also.) Her husband called right back, and we sorted it out. Next time we come to Tahoe to play, this is the place we'll book if it's open.

We are return customers to this lovely, spacious home, where we gather grandparents, parents and grandkids, for a grand old time. Home is very comfortable and kid-friendly (they even supply a baby gate for the stairs, which came in handy for the one-year old).We enjoyed the comfortable living room area, large dining table, grill on the porch, spacious kitchen well stocked with cooking utensils, pots, etc., the nearby park at the lake with kid friendly jungle gyms and the nearby Donner Ski Ranch. Owner keeps the driveway well snowplowed too and the place was clean, the towels fluffy, everything was great.

This cabin is newly remodeled and really nice. Our children are just learning to ski this year so we have Boreal season passes. We stayed two nights and it was convenient to only be a ten minute drive away. We ate at The Pub at Donner Lake twice and the food was great. It snowed quite a bit on our last day but it wasn’t an issue since the roads and driveway were plowed. We had a wonderful stay and would use this cabin again! 5 Stars :)
