Cabin was clean and very large; hosted our large family easily and comfortably. Very well stocked. Lots of water toys to enjoy the calmer end of the lake. Decks were sunny and spacious. The spa was a perfect treat after a day of playing on the water. We loved our stay and can’t wait to go back!

This is our second visit to the property so we were familiar with it. We had a great time, but we are not much of winter folks so next visit will be in the summer again. Owners are very good to work with.

Our family gathered from Virginia, Illinois and CA to share a fantastic week of fun, adventure and relaxation! All 14 of us found this location, the weather and various "toys" provided to bind our family ever closer! What a beautiful location!

We had a lovely long weekend at the lake house. There were plenty of beds for everyone -- and plenty of water sports to keep everyone entertained. I went in with medium expectations based on the pictures included on the listing but the pictures do not do the place justice. While it does have more of that cabin feel, it was spacious, clean, and much more updated than expected. We hope to return when the weather is a bit warmer!

Bryon and Jay were great hosts and the property is simply amazing. The house is large and spacious with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, multiple kitchens and lots of living space. But the greatest gem is the back yard sitting right on Donner Lake with private docks and included lake activities such as canoes, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, a peddle boat, sailboat and motor boat. We have an amazing time inside and out and cant wait to come back again.

We had a fantastic week at Donner Lake. This house is beyond perfect. Plenty of space for our entire group, well equipped kitchen, and laundry room, and comfortable sleeping for all. But, the real highlight is the dock. We spent most of the week on the dock and on the lake. We had a blast using the paddle boards, pedal boats, and the canoe! Swimming and jumping off the dock was another highlight! We ate outside every night taking in the beautiful lake view! We hope to visit again next summer!

This property could not be more perfect for hosting a large family reunion. The house itself is laid out fantastic to sleep lots of people. There are separate living areas to keep earlier morning kids entertained and quiet while not disturbing those sleeping downstairs. 3 full functioning kitchens let us cook amazing group meals. The back yard, lake and marina allowed for so many different activities to happen simultaneously that we never left the property for 3 days straight and did not get bored! Byron was fantastic and so communicative and the cleaners were super helpful on arrival. Thank you for an amazing stay can't wait to do it again next year!

Three generations of our family stayed here for a week. We all enjoyed it tremendously. The water toys entertained all of us. We loved the decks and being right on the water., and the night views from there were fabulous. The trains across the lake fascinated us. The upstairs apartments were very nice. The downstairs kitchen shows its age more but the master bedroom was perfect for the "old folks" who wanted to be on the ground floor; the other three downstairs bedroom were small and less desirable. The kitchens were well stocked, and there are lots of games, puzzles and movie-access. Truckee is only a few miles away and Reno less than an hour. Everything was very clean when we arrived and we were greeted by both an owner and the housekeeper, both of them very welcoming.

Best vacation rental EVER!

Best vacation rental EVER!

My eight adult children agreed this was the best vacation rental of all previous summers. The house/location exceeded expectations! The sail boat, motor boat, kayak, canoe etc. were all used daily. The owner greeted us and was very cooperative. The main kitchen was well stocked with a myriad of cooking utensils, pots, pans, condiments etc., and the couples quartered in the other apartments were also well satisfied. The beds were comfortable, and the great room was a welcoming gathering place for everyone. Everything needed was supplied in abundance, including games, movies, books etc. The location is central and nearby state park, golf, parasailing, charter fishing, shopping were all great. We hope to include some grandchildren and great grandchildren next year.
