About this cabin rental
The cabin sits where Lakeview Creek enters Donner Lake. Listen to the babbling creek and unwind on our deck as you look out over the lake. Take a walk, or bike ride on our cruiser bikes, to the beach. The deck area is the prime entertainment spot. It's a sunny little spot. Perfect for afternoon BBQ's and entertaining. Inside the pine log walls take you back in time, but there are modern finishes. The kitchen has all new stainless appliances. The living room has a 'smart' TV with internet capability. In fact, the entire cabin has wifi, and two of the three bedrooms have TV's as well. For longer stays you will appreciate the laundry room. And there is plenty of parking 'off street'. It's a level driveway that is plowed all winter, and there's a covered walkway, so no snow shoveling to access the cabin! Soooo close to Sugar Bowl :)

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We had a great stay. Our host-Jim-was extremely responsive. This smaller cabin is very quaint and located in a great location. It’s very easy to get into Truckee for grocery shopping, Sugarbowl is super close and it was very easy to get around. There aren’t really any hiking trails you can walk to, but there are quite a few in short driving distance. The cabin was very clean and the pellet stove plus central heat kept it nice and warm. Plenty of lots to cook with, although if you need to measure liquids you’ll need to bring or buy your own liquid measuring cup (we just used dry measures) and if you want to microwave on a plate or in a bowl, bring your own microwaveable dinnerware. This was a non-issue for us, but just felt I should mention it. The beds were SO comfy and cozy! Two bedrooms downstairs and master upstairs. Hang out upstairs for the comfy cabin feel. Provided towels were great and there was basic body wash and shampoo. To summarize, this was a great sta and we definitely recommend for families.

Very clean, small cabin. Nice host.We opted to bring our own towels to avoid the stress of washing sheets and towels before leaving. (And avoid the 70 charge if we didn't).Roku TV had a hard time working in the living room but host was very responsive and helpful. Although we got it working the first night, we had to repeat the restart process a couple of times on different days. It did not do streaming, but a downstairs TV would.Wish there were some nightlights, especially for the downstairs bathroom which is down a hall from the bedrooms.

6 / 10Average·Oct 2023
Disappointed overall. The 4.9 average rating is hard for me to understand. Recommend anyone interested review the 2-3 ratings because they are more accurate. Items to consider: 1. There is minimal view of the lake from the cabin (pics are deceiving) plus closet access is 1/2 mile away… not a short walk. 2. The expectation that guests wash and dry linens and towels is a real pain point. 3. Furnishings and blankets are old and worn …also not convinced they were cleaned recently. 4. No dishwasher and guests are expected to clean and put everything away. 5. Lots of clutter in cabinets, ie. ancient spices, 7 frying pans (most better suited for recycling bin), etc
