About this apartment rental

This beautiful condo is located on the beautiful south-facing (sunny) side of historic Donner Lake. The condo is designed to take full advantage of the tremendous views. It looks directly across the lake at the open space of Donner State Park, and up the lake at the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountains, where the Pacific Crest Trail runs through five miles away.

There are eight alpine ski areas and three touring ski areas within 20 minutes of the condo, catering to the ability levels of all skiers. All kinds of water sports are available in the summer. Swimming is right outside the doors.

There is one space in the main parking area on the north side of the building for the tenant. A second Guest parking spot is on the east side of the building, as available. There is a garage, but we generally keep it full of water toys for our guests' use. Additional parking is available on Donner Pass Road.

Beautiful view of lake, mountains and Donner State Park. Hosts live nearby, and were friendly and helpful. Private pier and beach, which we didn't use due to early season snow. Comfortable ground level bedrooms; luggage can come in that way instead of carrying down spiral stairway. Short drive to shopping and town of Truckee. Very quiet in off season.

This property is in a wonderful location on Donner Lake. Very peaceful, very beautiful. I was a little weary of the spiral staircase because my beloved has poor depth perception, however, it turned out to be perfectly fine. He took his time and managed fine - we all did. This home is very comfortable, clean, cozy, beautiful outdoor spaces. We used the grill for perfect tritip, made a birthday cake in the oven, made French toast, eggs, toast - all appliances work perfectly. This home feels like being in heaven.

The view from the balcony is gorgeous and you are just steps from the lake. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well appointed. Even though it rained, we had a great time: comfortable, cozy and right there to watch the lake in all weather.

We had a fantastic time at Donner Lake. It was great to get the family together and make the teens get off their phones. We rode bikes went hiking played board games and spent lots of time in the water. It was the perfect family trip.

All That and More

All That and More

My wife and I have been using VRBO for years and this is by far the most well equipped unit we have ever stayed in. The condo has a great location, with great views and all kinds of water toys from noodles to a canoe. David and Sonya are great, friendly, responsive and they take pride in their unit. The view of Donner Lake is amazing; The area is private with a little beach which was great for our grandkids. I could go on but you get the idea. This is the ideal rental. It is a 5 squared.

Great place with AMAZING views!

We loved our stay at this condo. The owners, Dave and Sonya, were great hosts. Friendly and accommodating. The space was perfect for my husband and I along with our two teenage boys. Great amenities, awesome views, perfect location being right on the lake - secluded yet less than 10 minutes to town with major grocery stores and shops. I cannot say enough good things about our trip here. It was better than we could have hoped for. We will definitely be back!

This condo is very welcoming, clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked. Owners are very nice and quick to respond to questions you might have. The views off the dining room deck and downstairs bedroom patios are awesome, especially when morning mist is floating on the water and through the trees across the lake. Very much looking forward to my next visit.

This is one of the most comfortable and well equipped rentals we’ve been in. The location on Donner Lake is steps away from the state park for walking and close to many biking areas. Shopping and dining are just a few minutes away as well. Love this rental and will be back again.

Donner Lake Beauty

Donner Lake Beauty

We had beautiful Spring days at this property! Gorgeous views and the owners were great! I'm not sure if it was for covid reasons that we ended up making our own beds ; but am assuming so and that was fine. I would most definitely update the electronic features such as the TV providing Chromecast or something similar for people with their own subscriptions to be able to access them and maybe have an accessible iHome for music. Very nice to have spices available so not to have to run out and buy everything. Thank you for a nice time at Donner Lake.

What a place!

What a place!

A lovely place right on a fantastic lake. Loads of room and very peaceful even on Labor Day weekend. The condo has clearly been looked after and has lovely, quality furnishings and decor. The owners were quick to respond to queries and kindly let us use their kayak, canoe and paddle board. One of the many highlights of the stay were sitting on either deck soaking up the sensational view of Donner Lake and the surrounding mountains. When you venture out on the water you realise how amazingly quiet the condo is, as only when across the lake can you hear any noise from the interstate that runs nearby. Truckee is close and has a great old-west feel. Tahoe is a short drive and the ski resorts are even closer. Condos right on the lake are clearly very rare at Donner Lake and this is a great place to spend quality time. Our 8 day trip was amazing and we'd love to come back one day.

Great location right on Donner Lake with a dock, beach, chairs, etc. Beautiful view from the unit. We appreciated being able to borrow the standup paddleboard, canoe, kayak, and life vests. It was wonderful to be able to go out the back door to the lake at any time.

You will not be disappointed. This Donner Lake condo is located steps away from the lake. It is equipped with all the conveniences of home. The minute you walk in, you will notice the pride of ownership. The condo was very clean and nicely decorated. It is conveniently located near Truckee. We looked forward to returning to the condo after a long day out. It was a pleasure to communicate directly with the owners. David and Sonya were very responsive. My only regret is not being able to stay longer.

Perfect location, great water access, views and beach, and nice interior layout

We had a great time during August 2018, 4 adults a child and a baby. The rooms are great for this setup, with one room having bunks and a queen bed for a family. The views are incredible, the beach and dock right out the door are very nice, and the whole facility is in great shape. The availability of a canoe and SUP makes it particularly nice. The interior is in excellent condition, and the kitchen has everything you could want. Hope to return.

This is the perfect spot for a quiet get away. This was our second visit and it was amazing. You can't beat the proximity to the lake, the private beach and the amenities provided. People in the condo community are polite, respectful and quiet. The condo itself is nicely stocked and the hosts are wonderful. We were there for a week with our adult daughters. Very relaxing and a great time to reconnect. Can't wait to go again!

This Is It!

This Is It!

My husband and I used to live in Lake Tahoe and still frequent the area often. We have booked numerous properties via VRBO but this is our absolute favorite! The view from the deck is incredible, there are not any neighbors to the left and to the right we didn't hear a peep. The community is extremely friendly and multiple owners offered us to use their beach toys. The owners of this rental have extra blankets, pillows, cleaning supplies, cooking supplies...anything you can think of! On top of that, they have a canoe, kayak, and a paddle board for use at the beach. There is also a folding table which we used to bring dinner down to the beach one evening. Both bedrooms are downstairs and each room has it's own door to access the small but private beach. They also both have a view of the water! Thank you so much for accommodating our family and sharing such a wonderful treasure!

Beautiful and relaxing

We have stayed here for a few years now and really love the condo and location. Literally lake front! The condo is always very clean. Not many renters in the complex so tends to be quiet. Beautiful beach and pier. Watch the trains go by across the lake! Owners Dave and Sonya extremely nice and accommodating. Even left a SUP and canoe in the garage for us to use - very nice touch. Can't wait until next year when we will be back.
