Enjoy an old-school but new-tech cabin equipped for working remotely and entertainment with high-speed Starlink satellite internet, DirecTV, and numerous streaming services. Ideal for cross-country skiers, Royal Gorge trails are right across the street (92 groomed, tracked trails- over 140km). Downhill skiers can head to the Soda Springs Ski Resort (1.5 miles), or hit the slopes at Sugar Bowl or Boreal (5 miles). You'll love the mountain biking and hiking trails outside the front door in summer. Lake Serena and Lake Dulzura (the Serene Lakes) are a few blocks away for kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, or relaxing on the beach. For even more watersports and lake activities, you are under 10 miles from the shores of Donner Lake and 27 miles from Lake Tahoe. The town of Truckee is 15 miles away for dining and shopping. House Rules Guests must bring their own firewood. While chains are required for all vehicles in winter, an all-wheel drive vehicle is recommended. The Donner Summit area gets a lot of snow in most winters; big snow storms may affect utilities, and snow loads may prevent access to decks. Check-in time: 4:00 PM. Check-out time: 10:00 AM. All guests shall abide by Vacasa’s good neighbor policy and shall not engage in illegal activity. Quiet hours are from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. No smoking is permitted anywhere on the premises.
