Looking for a quiet, yet fun getaway? This is the place to be with tons of activities and possibilities. In the winter you can go to any of the nearby ski resorts such as: Sugar Bowl, Boreal, and Squaw Valley. Have kids? They can play in the snow on the large deck, or even create a sled hill on the side of the house. In the summer, you can bring your boat or jet skis and tie it up to the pier. Have more than one boat? Tie up the boat on our buoy located just out from the pier.
There are many trails nearby where you can take a hike, or even go for a horseback ride. Fishing is great on Donner, you can catch a couple off of the dock each day by just throwing out a line with a worm or some power bait, you can even use a lure from shore. For all who love to gamble, Reno is just a half hour away where there are many casinos. Many golf attractions are nearby as well. For those who are just looking for a quiet getaway, you can make a nice fire in one of the outside chimneys or in the expansive fire place inside. Don't forget about heating up the hot tub and sitting in the snow or in the sun.

The Owner purchased this house in 2005
We bought this wonderful property based upon it being on the lake and on the sunny side of Donner Lake. The sunny side of Donner Lake also provides easier access during the winter months.
Sitting out on large deck enjoying the scenery, wildlife, quiet times, boating and swimming in the clear clean lake. There is a professionally cleaned hot tub located in the same large deck that is situated to enjoy the lake while still maintaining privacy.
I love this cabin. My husband and I, along with family members had a great experience. The view was beautiful esp when sitting out in the balcony with the fire burning, and watching the night sky. We would definitely come back. Thank you for a wonderful weekend vacation.
Wonderful property. Reliable owner.
We had a combined family birthday party (3) for the long weekend. A beautiful lakeside home, everything was well laid out with all of the amenities that you could ask for. Thoroughly enjoyed by all. Despite lack of snow, plenty to do....... or not.
Breathtaking views to enjoy from a wonderful cabin. We were pleased the moment we walked in. Both the inside lay out and outdoor decking will accommodated 8-10 people easily. It made our special time - extra special!
This is a great place to stay right on the lake. We have a tradition of trying new places with our friends over Labor Day weekend and we all said that this place could definitely be a repeat trip! The only downside is it is right next door to a lodge and the people over there were not very friendly! But we didn't let that ruin our stay and this wonderful house. Thanks Dan!
This is the second time we have stayed here. The location is great and so is the set up of this house. The back yard is wonderful with multiple decks, hot tub, dock, BBQ, everything you would need short of a boat. The back yard is completely fenced in and is great for kids and pets. The water level was much higher than the last time we stayed here two years ago.
If I had to point out any negatives I would say that the deck is old and in need of some repair and the living room furniture is pretty dirty and beat up. Maybe time for an upgrade. But all said I would come back again.
