About this house rental

A gorgeous lake front property and marina on the sunny side of Donner Lake, this property is the picture of serenity. The outdoor decks are perfect for sun bathing, reading your favorite book and watching grandkids play on the paddle boat or kayak or SUP. Included in the rental; two SUPs (standup paddle boards), three Kayaks, canoe, and paddle boat. Further, there is a Hot Spring Spa to complete your family recreation and relaxation options.

The house is separated into three areas. A main area downstairs at lake level with 4 bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen, 1 full+ 1 single, 4 singles) and 3 bathrooms. In addition, there is a large kitchen to accommodate all your entertaining needs, as well as large BBQ on the deck for outdoor dining. Two upstairs one bedroom apartments provide comfortable sleeping for 7 and three additional bathrooms. All units are connected by interior doors that can be closed for privacy if desired. Both apartments have private decks overlooking the water, state park and mountains.

There is ample parking, with space for up to 9 cars.

If soaking up the warm sun on one of the many decks and docks, or splashing in the brisk clear Donner water is your interest, this is the place for your vacation.

Peaceful serenity meets summer activities as water skiing, sailing, swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, biking and much more are right outside your door. Tennis and golf and the night life of Truckee are minutes away or make the 30 minute trip to Reno for shows and gambling. It is rare to find a location with such natural ambiance and so much to do so close by.

Take advantage of one of the few weeks left in Summer and make this summer vacation a memory you will cherish for a lifetime.

Additional features include; reserved parking for seven to ten vehicles, berthing room for a 26’ boat and mooring space for additional boats, large gas barbeque, wind blocked sun deck, laundry facilities, wet suit and towel hanging space and a small beach area.

    We came from all over the USA, Mexico and Australia for a family reunion and celebration of my daughter’s engagement. We had 3 generations that had spent summers on Donner lake and we had a wonderful time. The dock, kitchen, watercraft, laundry room and outdoor gathering spaces were excellent!!!

    This fulfilled my dream and plan to celebrate my 75th birthday at Donner with my whole immediate family (14)!The house/cabin is interesting-a converted older motel! The lakeside location is the reason we chose this property- it’s perfect. Lots of water toys are offered, including a tutorial on the Hobie Cat ( which we did not need, but did use!) Spa looks new and was greatly appreciated by our tribe. Three owners were readily available, stopping by upon checkin, check out, and in between. The outboard was not working ( slight disappointment). There are a couple of flights of stairs to get to main kitchen and dining area, the upstairs bunk room, and over to the two living areas at street level. Access to pier and lake is fairly accessible with just slight steps down to lower patio. The kitchen is very well stocked with all kinds of appliances and there are two sets each of washers and dryers. I actually hate to recommend it too highly since that reduces my chances of it being available in the future for my family! But we created great memories once again and Donner will always have a very special place in our hearts! Thank you Hanns!

    Stay was wonderful just as our previous stays. Unfortunately, the paddle boat was not operable and in our previous stays that was fun for the wife and kids.

    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.

    The house was perfectly sized for a group of us from work to spend a weekend in and enjoy the water.

    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!
