About this house rental
This is a beautiful mountain home in the High Sierras, nestled at approximately six-thousand feet. Our home is located within the Tahoe Donner Association. We offer unparalleled guest amenities year round. When looking for a vacation home, we knew this was the one from the moment we stepped inside the front door!
We have a comfortable, fully-equipped kitchen that is perfect for entertaining. The living room and dining area have twenty foot high vaulted ceilings, with views looking out upon stately pines. The living room is complemented by a wood burning stove (wood provided) and a large hearth, with a back drop of river rock climbing the wall. The living room is equipped with flat screen TV, wifi, a VCR, and a stereo with a cassette and CD player. New carpeting, new living room furniture and newly remodeled bathrooms.
Our home has three bedrooms; a master bedroom on the first floor, with a flat screen TV, wifi, opens onto the back deck and woods beyond with a queen-size bed. A second bedroom upstairs is light and airy, with a queen-size bed, cathedral ceiling and view of the pines, bluejays and squirrels.
Our third bedroom is great for extra guests or kids. It is furnished with two sets of bunk-beds (sleeps four), with a flat screen TV, wifi, and has cathedral ceilings. All rooms have generous closet space. In addition, there is a large "cubby hole" on your way to the second floor where kids love to play. There are full bathrooms on the first and second floors. In addition, the living room has a queen-size hide-a-bed that sleeps two.
The generous back deck includes a picnic table, and a gas grill during the summer and fall, and looks out onto a serene forest. The front deck circles the house, and is just made for basking in the sun, or sharing a bottle of wine and good conversation, while watching the sun go down. Also included with your guest amenity pass, is access to our private beach club and marina on beautiful Donner Lake. You will not be disappointed in this mountain vacation home!

Nice, but kitchen is dated. Bathrooms are new remodel. Back deck is a nice place to hang out.

Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe are so close and the Donner amenities (particularly the pools) are fabulous! The great room of the house with its volume and bright light is fabulous! Love the wood burning stove!

We visited for 3 days in the shoulder season between Ski season and Lake Tahoe water sports. Nice quaint town with gorgeous Mountain View’s.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
We did not think this house lived up to its ratings. The house itself is worn and tired looking, it looks like nothing has been updated since the 80’s. The stove/range is ancient. The furniture is very dated. We did not feel that the kitchen was clean enough to cook in. Old tile countertops with dark grout. The cupboard doors and drawers were just gross. Years of grime. The bath off the hallway looks like it was recently updated and was nice. The steps leading from the garage to the laundry room were filthy. The back deck needs a good hosing down and sweeping. The sliding door in the dining room doesn’t open. None of the windows in the living room open and there are no screen doors on the front door or kitchen door so you can’t get a breeze. There is an opening on the second floor about 3 feet by 3 feet that looks down into the living room. We felt that was very dangerous for young children. Nothing to prevent a small child from falling through onto the stone fireplace below. When I stripped the bed there was old dried blood on the pillows and mattress pad. Plus the fitted sheet had a big rip in it. We never felt like the house was clean. The neighborhood is nice but we won’t be staying here again.
