When the snow disappears, enjoy the private pier on the lake where you can relax and enjoy both sunrise and sunset views. The dock features comfy seating as well as easy swimming and boating access. Bring your tabletop propane BBQ for grilling on the lake.
Bring your own boat/kayaks/paddle boards or rent for the day from one of the local outlets. Park the boat at your own private dock on the lake in front of the cabin.
For a relaxing, low-key lakeside get-away with family and friends, this is the perfect property.

A light-weight fold-up wagon located in the garage is available for your use to tote beach gear and toddlers (.6 mile walk to China Beach).

Really lovely place for a group with an exceptional dock for easy access to the lake. Kitchen has all amenities that you would need to make every meal at home. Great communication with the hosts. I would rate the cleanliness as good instead of excellent; quite a few large spiderwebs, carpets with some staining, bath rugs well worn and bathtub that could a little TLC. However, with any vacation rental, I imagine it is hard to keep everything top-notch! Also bummed out that we couldn’t use the propane fireplace on the deck, that would have been good information to share in the listing. We had a lovely retreat at this lake house and would absolutely stay here again.

Everything was just right. Kayakers, paddle boarders and wind surfers put on a good show on this part of the lake.The upper level of the dock has the best view on the shoreline and is a great place to enjoy a beverage and a book with fine company.

Family stayed at this house over the weekend and we all had a blast! The views are incredible and the house is amazing! I give this rental a 10/10!From the fishing, jet skiing and family time. House provided board games in the pool table room. Plenty of space to sleep. Sheets and the entire house was very clean. Beds and showers and bathrooms were all very clean. Felt like we stayed at a 5-Star Casino. The Lake Dock was one of the best features and is top notch compared to other homes at Donner Lake. I recommend this place to any family and you wont regret the experience! Thank you Karen for the Hospitality and my family will definitely book another trip here.

A classic Tahoe house on Donner. Kitchen was modern and useable. The highlight is the lake and location. Karen was great and easy to deal with.
