Perfect for a quick snow trip
The house had so much room for us. The beds were very comfy. The open living room and kitchen space is very stylish. Stunning lake view. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

Perfect HQ for all the ski resorts in the area
Amazing view. Wonderful property. Perfect distance to the ski resorts and downtown Donner. We didn’t realize that we had to pick up the keys at the office (it was in the contract but we missed it) but they were amazing at communication and everything got sorted out quickly. Place felt right. Thank you for hosting us. Hopefully we’ll get to stay again.

One of the best experiences
We loved the house, hands-down our best experience living in the mountains. Snow in the backyard, facing Donner lake, easy beach access 3 minute drive from our home, 15 minutes from Truckee with snow activities, what's not to like about it. Easily the best accessible spot to rent a home. We were blessed with great weather, and clear skies with stars and a beautiful moon to gaze at in the wee hours of the morning.The house is stocked with everything you might need, and we loved it was so cozy. We'll come back for sure.

Great Family getaway
My family stayed here for my oldest daughter's 30th birthday. We had 3 generations for the weekend and it was perfect. The location on the lake, right across from the dock, was PERFECT! Would absolutely book again.

Our second time visiting!
We absolutely loved staying at this property, for the second time. The backyard is fantastic for snow play, the view of the lake is gorgeous, and we loved walking along the shoreline, just across the street. The house is clean and had everything we needed! Thank you!

Amazing Views
Our stay was flawless. The house was clean, decorated well and very pleasant to relax in. The walk to the water is very close and I highly recommended going there in the dark, with a flashlight of course. The view of stars and the snow covered mountains at the end of the lake was breathtaking. I am looking forward to staying there again.

No TV or Wifi for the entire stay
Overall, the property location is excellent! It has a beautiful lake view. However, the property can use a bit more cleaning. We have found dirty socks in the sofa and next to washer. The worst was that internet and TV services were out during our 5 days stay. The owner and property management team tried 3 times and still were not able to fix the issue. We couldn't work and kids did not have much entertainment during the stay.
