6 / 10Average·Aug 2022
House was plenty spacious and had beautiful views of Lake Donner. For $600 per night, comfortability was a bit of an issue. The house lacked amenities. We had to go purchase TP (sandpaper) soap (size of a matchbook), shampoo (none), conditioner (none), paper towels, etc. Furniture and beds were uncomfortable and water pressure was low. It was also a warm week so we kept windows open at night and closed them around 10am and it was uncomfortably hot in the house by 2pm. For $300-$350 per night this is a great place to stay. Side note: nothing is really open in the Donner Lake area Mon-Thurs.
