If you want to catch the really big fish the best time is February through Early June. These dates also coincide with our lowest rates! FAQ...HOW DO I GET THAT LOWER POSTED NIGHTLY RATE??? Save $$$ by adding that extra day to your weekend stay! Previously we did not allow 2 night stays there was just too much prep labor for each guest changeover to break even. In order to accommodate short stays we now charge a per stay property fee and lowered our nightly rate. This allows short stays by spreading the minimum we need to charge across the nightly rate so longer stays have much lower nightly rate. Simply adding 1 night to a 2 night stay substantially lowers your nightly rate! Book that extra night and enjoy a more relaxing vacation. Even if you don't stay the extra night you will be able to enjoy an extra full day at the property and a leisurely check out after a 2 night stay. Book the low season or weekdays. Pre-summer and fall are amazing experiences (especially here at the lake) and cost less than half summer bookings. You get more days for less and get to enjoy the area without the crowds. Our home has 2 queen-sized beds and a sofa bed in the front room. We don’t want to rent to large groups. This is not a party cabin. It is perfect for a small family or a couple or two. No smoking or pets are allowed anywhere on property. Please e-mail or call if you have any questions. Thank you! Notes; GOVERNMENT CAN CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION OR LOCAL ACTIVITIES... WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS! Access sometimes requires chains even on 4 wheel drive vehicle . BEFORE INSTANT BOOKING.. ALL GUESTS MUST AGREE TO WINTER RULES BE PREPARED, WE DO NOT REFUND FOR ACCESS ISSUES. Thank you for your interest in our Donner Lake home.

Just as advertised - beautiful and rustic accommodations on the lake. Great fishing off the dock at the house. And close proximity to Truckee’s restaurants and convenience.

This was the perfect family vacation to the lake! We’re a family of 4 and stayed 5 nights here in June 2021. The house was very clean and Mark was so welcoming and helpful. The location was private and we had so much fun on the dock fishing and swimming. Also it’s only a beautiful 30 min drive to Tahoe for beaches, rafting, and zip lining in the trees! My family had a blast here and will definitively be back for some winter fun!
