We were so excited to book this beautiful home for my birthday weekend and it did not disappoint. The moment we walked through the doors the views of Donner lake were breathtaking, the house was so inviting, warm and comfortable. The house was clean and beautifully equipped with everything we needed to make our stay perfect. Shirin was so helpful and easy to communicate with throughout the entire experience. We hope to get lucky enough to find a vacant week in the warmer months to come again for a longer stay next time.

We have rented many vrbo places over the years and this lake house has been by far the nicest. In addition to the beautiful architecture, the large open floor plan was really perfect for our family which includes three kids in their twenties. Everything worked well and we were able to use one of the public docks for several hours each day, after people fishing vacated them, or families left in the late afternoon. We also really appreciated the two kayaks available for use!
