About this cabin rental

Situated in Donner Lake, this attractive cabin for R 7,347 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. TEMPORARY PRICE REDUCTION: We are offering a temporary price reduction of $100-$150/night until May 21 due to repair work being completed on the dock, which is away from the home and down by the lake.. there will be no impact at all on the home itself and minimal noise disruption. You will still have access to the lakefront area, just not the dock itself. Ready to get away from it all and truly unplug, winter, spring, summer or fall? Enjoy staggering views of Donner Lake and the granite of the High Sierra from all three levels of this 2100 sq. foot clean, well-appointed and comfortable family cabin during all seasons. Relax in warmth and comfort during winter months with stunning lakefront views, surrounded only by nature and the silent snowfall. Snow sensor keeps steps and pathways free of snow for easy access. Snowplow service provided for street-level driveway and garage. When the snow disappears, enjoy the private pier on the lake where you can relax and enjoy both sunrise and sunset views. The dock features comfy seating as well as easy swimming and boating access. Bring your tabletop propane BBQ for grilling on the lake. Bring your own boat/kayaks/paddle boards or rent for the day from one of the local outlets. Park the boat at your own private dock on the lake in front of the cabin. For a relaxing, low-key lakeside get-away with family and friends, this is the perfect property. The home features high quality beds and linens, with down comforters as well as pillow and mattress protectors on every bed for your safety and comfort. Additional upgrades include new furnishings throughout, an 82” TV to enjoy sports while playing a game of pool, forced air heating as well as two gas stoves to keep you warm. There is parking for 3 cars at street level, including a spacious 2-car garage. Upstairs, at the far back of the loft, you will find a king bed, twin/full bunk bed, a full bathroom and 55” Samsung TV. In the open area of the loft overlooking the main level and the lake, there’s a full size bed for heavy sleepers. The main floor features vaulted ceiling, a gas fireplace in the great room, fully equipped kitchen, 55’ Samsung TV, one full bathroom with tub, a bedroom with king bed and a small bedroom with queen bed. Downstairs you’ll find the pool table, 82” Samsung TV, second gas fireplace, wet bar, half bath, twin bunk bed, and sectional sofa with a pull-out bed (bring your own linens for pull out bed). This three-bedroom, 2.5 bath cabin will accommodate a total of 8 guests. Make sure everyone is comfortable with the open floor design before booking. Floor plan diagram for all three levels is located within the photos. The cabin has floor to ceiling views of the lake from all three levels. Enjoy relaxing and dining on either of two expansive decks, both overlooking the lake. Main level has a large propane BBQ for your use. Step out onto either deck to find stairs leading to a footpath down to the lake. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals. The refrigerator and freezer are located in the drawers, with plenty of additional space available in the full size refrigerator/freezer downstairs. The cooking range faces the living space and the lake, allowing for great flow between the kitchen, deck, the living room. Off the main floor there’s a large deck with comfy seating and a dining table to take in the fresh air, views, sunsets and stars at night. Located five minutes from West End Beach on South Shore Drive, this serene, private lakefront property is on the quiet, secluded side of the lake. Situated at mid-point on the lake between the West End Public Beach (1.6 miles) and Donner State Park (1.3 mile), there is no shortage of beaches or activities to enjoy. A light-weight fold-up wagon located in the garage is available for your use to tote beach gear and toddlers (.6 mile walk to China Beach). Available activities include fishing, swimming, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, hiking, biking, golfing or just lounging on your private dock. There’s a public boat ramp on Donner Lake, but please be advised of any boat inspection stations in the area. Search tahoeboatinspections for more information. Don’t wait to book as there aren’t many homes available of this quality and affordability with direct and private lake access. This home is a special place where you can get away from it all to relax, recharge and make great memories with your family and friends! * PLEASE NOTE: People with mobility issues are advised this home has many steps to and from the garage, the house and beach. The steps and entry path to the home are heated in the winter, so no shoveling required! THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT ALLOW PARTIES OR LOUD GATHERINGS. Several neighbors are permanent residents who would be adversely impacted by excess noise from this property.

Our family stayed at Karen’s cabin on Donner lake for a week this winter. We had a fabulous time. The location was ideal for multiple skiing, locations and close to Truckee. There are beautiful lake views on every floor. Karen has also thought of everything from kitchen utensils to games to luxurious linens and towels. It was super clean and incredibly comfortable. We all had a an amazing time and hope to experience Donner Lake at this house during the summer months. It’s paradise.

Perfect location for a family getaway. Amazing view with a private dock for fishing, swimming, or just relaxing. Owners were very helpful and easily reachable via phone or text. We hope to make this a yearly vacation. Thank you!

The weather wasn't ideal, but the house was cozy with plenty of games and puzzles and lots of room for the 3 small families to spread out. It was well stocked with kitchen utensils and all the things necessary for cooking and cleaning in a rental house. The kitchen is remodeled but it was a bit quirky to have a refrigerator and freezer drawer vs. a full unit (it's in the basement) but it worked out fine. LOTS of stairs to get down into the unit and to walk trash up top. They aren't lying when they say people with mobility issues should not rent the house. The views are STELLAR and we used the dock for our boat. Wish we could have spent more time outside but it was too chilly and wet. The owners were great to work with. We love Donner Lake -it's a magical place!

We had an amazing weekend at this home. The home was spacious, clean, and had all the amenities you would need. Mostly the view was to die for. We will definitely be booking again.

We like to say that there is nothing better to spend your money on than family time together. We had a memorable summer week with our adult sons and partners on Donner Lake. Spending time on the dock at this property was a highlight. Waking up to the beautiful view of the lake, swimming and sporting on the water all day, ending the day with a sunset from the dock - that's a vacation day. The cabin is a short walk from the state park for easy trail and beach access. The 6 of us love to cook and the kitchen is well stocked. The cabin is so organized that it is easy to find what you are looking for. Very welcoming decor, comfortable beds and furnishings. Not stripped down and sterile feeling like some other rentals. Fun pool table and games for all the family. The host is very responsive to questions and cheerful to communicate with. Thank you for sharing your Donner Lake house!!

We just arrived back home and are already looking forward to next time. Our family so enjoyed our stay this week that we have already booked this wonderful home for next summer! As everyone has already stated, absolutely every attention was paid to every detail. The cabin was spotless, everything was so well labeled, the beds were so comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and then there was the million dollar view! We all decided that we met our stair/steps requirements with a built in exercise program using the stairs to get to the street or down to the dock. Thank you to Karen, you were always available to meet all of our needs. sue and family

Our family enjoyed this quiet, lakefront location. It allowed various age groups to get in the water to swim, paddle board and kayak or stay up at the cabin reading and playing games. The property had all the amenities we needed for our our week vacation.
