    As usual, this is our happy place in the mountains. We had a lovely time and its convenience to sugar bowl, 10 mins, and truckee main drag, 8 mins, but quiet peaceful location on the lake was ideal. We’d move in if we could :). My son, age 6, has the best time even in winter rock hunting on the beach and we both enjoyed bird watching right from the dining table in morning and afternoon!

    Our 3rd time renting this home for a week in the summer and it was amazing (as always). Views, private dock, great kitchen - thankful for another wonderful week of memories.

    This house was exactly what we were looking for when planning our summer vacation. Plenty of room for family activities, clean rooms, and lake front access. We had an amazing time on the dock and watching the sunset from the balcony or kitchen table. We will definitely be back.

    This house is definitely one we will come back to. We had such a great time paddle boarding, fishing, and swimming in the lake. It was a perfect escape from reality for a few days.

    We keep returning to this home because it feels like a home away from home for us. It's across the street from the little market and Donner Lake Kitchen which is great for brekafast/lunches. The home is directly on the Lake with beach/sand areas and we enjoy rock hunting even in winter. The house has a nice wood burning fireplace but would appreciate if there was more wood/kindling pieces vs the broken wood slats. Also need paper or newspaper to help light since no kindling and could use long matches vs. lighters. There was some hair, human or dog not sure on the master bed sheets/pillows so a more thorough cleaning would be great but when we contacted management about it we got an instant response which was helpful.

    Perfect lakeside property. Family of 5 fit perfectly with room to spare. Personal beach and pier for the kids and dogs to play. Would love to come back. Opted for the late checkout, but the front door code stopped working at the regular checkout time and we were locked out with our dogs still inside when we came back from lunch. Luckily we had accidentally left the back door unlocked so we were able to get back in.

    Beautiful home in a perfect location. Loved the view of Donner Lake, and really enjoyed the train traveling the mountains across the way. High-end outdoor furniture made it extra special. Our DOG rates it 5-stars, also!!

    This was by far my favorite vacation rental. The location was perfect, the house was beautiful and so comfortable; and the backyard dock and steps into the water were incredible. I brought my fishing boat which was held nicely by the provided buoy. Caught a bunch of tasty trout and salmon. My yellow lab loved swimming and going up the steps at the water's edge. This was a dream of a house. Would love to stay again!

    We had an absolutely wonderful time at this beautiful property. The house is absolutely stunning with amazing views of the lake from nearly every room, and the house was stocked with all the essentials (including firewood for the fireplace!). It was magical to be able to jump off the dock into the crystal clear water of Donner Lake. The property is directly across from a mini market, should you forget any essentials. The next door neighbors were lovely as well! We will definitely be returning to this house to make more memories. Thank you so much!!

    Plenty of space for our adult children and their plus ones (total of 6) and a dog. Great views of the lake from most rooms of the house and deck. The lower landing has very comfortable seating and is the perfect place to hang out to take in the lake view. Having our own dock to come and go as we please on our kayaks and paddle boards was great. The kitchen had everything you could need and bathrooms were stocked with plenty of soaps/tp/shampoo and body wash. Very clean and comfortable! Love that it is across the street from Donner Lake Kitchen, the best breakfast spot! Cannot wait to return!
