    Property is just as described and truly can’t beat the location.

    The house is super retro cute and a great location, near the Pub, beach, and ice cream. The only downside is that I'm a sensitive sleeper and got woken up a few times in the night by loud trucks or motorcycles coming down from the Pass, but it was minimal (and just me affected!). Highly recommend this place for a group of 4.

    Great cozy cabin at the West end of Donner. We had a blast. Didn’t want to leave!

    This is such a beautiful cabin. 5 adults and 1 kiddo were in our group and we had plenty of space, never feeling overcrowded. Location is perfect, right off of 80 and a 3 minute walk right to the entrance of West End Beach. Can't wait to go back this summer.

    Perfect little cabin for a family and great location close to the beach.
