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! ##### Eric H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise J.

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! ##### Denise J. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arturo G.

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.

Jan 25, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely cozy peaceful spot on the lake 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. ##### Pamela G.

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!! ##### Zoe S.

There are views from almost every room and window in the house. There is a big outdoor area including a beach which even in late spring was beautiful to enjoy rock collecting and fishing from the shore. It's just 8 minutes to downtown Truckee for restaurants and shops and the train station. 10 minutes to Sugar Bowl, 10 minutes to Tahoe Donner Downhill, 5 minutes to Safeway. I would have loved access to a vacuum while there and some snow play toys like a tube or sled but all in all this house is a gem. ##### Pamela G.

Mar 29, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic lakefront home My son and I had the most relaxing time at this home that is right on the lake. It was very cozy with the fireplace and big breakfast nook table/window seat/lovely kitchen/big outdoor space with lawn/beach sand area/terraced yard/and the comfy bedrooms upstairs. There was some hair here and there on some furniture and the floors, but I'm not sure if it was humans or dog. We did bring our own small dog on the vacation, thank you dog-friendly rental, but the hair was longer, so I'm guessing from a pup before us. But that aside, I've already re-booked this home for a future trip because we loved it so much. Also a big highlight to be directly across the street from the famous/delicious Donner Lake Kitchen and the little grocery/general goods store. Just 8 minutes to downtown Truckee, 5 minutes to Safeway for bigger grocery run (yes instacart worked there too!), 11 minutes to Sugar Bowl Sugar Rush Tubing, and 10 minutes to Tahoe Donner downhill. Great spot all in all! ##### Pamela G. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John E.

The home is absolutely gorgeous and clean. The only thing I could complain about is …the beds were so uncomfortable, hard and small …for the price you’re paying I’d say it’s not too much to ask for a comfortable bed. It’s also hard to enjoy your day when you’re not sleeping well. Other than that it was great! ##### Micah V. ### 8/10 Good #### Steve D.

Aug 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Donner Lake is Pristine Beautiful location with a lovely setting on the lake with dock access. Sand area for children was a plus! Near a market across the trip was great. Master bed was too firm. Not enough towels for a group of 8. The towels were new, with tags still on them. Therefore lint was a problem until we washed them. Bathroom floors were not cleaned. It would have been nice to have umbrellas to protect from the sun on the deck and by the lake area. Also, perhaps a few beach and lake toys would be nice. But not necessary as we brought blowup paddle boards and a raft. Furniture on the lake was in great condition. ##### Penny B.

Amazing house, patio, deck. Beautiful perfection. Only thing that needs looking at is the stove, it didn’t get up to temp on the standard oven, but we just used the broiler instead. ##### Karin W. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurel W. May 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great experience! What a fabulous property! It was amazing and the renovation looks great. Very comfortable and great for our group. My only concern was I didn’t know where the trash can was (outdoors - inside trash can was obvious) so I just left the bags of garbage in the garage. I felt bad leaving a mess but I tried! Haha I would recommend to anyone who wants to stay at a beautiful location. ##### Laurel W.
