Lovely rustic cabin with beautiful views of Donner lake

Very relaxing stay at this tranquil cabin. Loved chilling out in the family room after a long day on the slopes. Beds are comfortable, and lots of pots and pans for cooking breakfast and dinner before and after a day of skiing!

Older but lovely home!

The property is lovely, a quick walk to Donner Lake. The house is an older Ski/Lake Home with authentically old furniture... wonderful details with a mostly wood interior and really pretty stained glass pieces. It has beautiful natural lighting. Slightly dated interior, but quite lovely. We stayed here as a multigenerational family. My parents, husband and 3 kids all felt really comfortable and happy here.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy

No Privacy

The pictures are very deceiving. The house needs major updates. It was dirty and there were cobwebs and spiders. No sheets and no curtains in the bathrooms for privacy at all. We could not shower because of the lack of privacy, and we decided to leave a night early because we were so uncomfortable in the house.

Great location and views of the lake

Loved the location and space. The deck was really nice with quality outdoor furniture. The walk down the stairs to the lake was short and nice. I liked the multi level house design, but would caution someone than can’t do many stairs.

What's the deal? Why won't they replace the oven???

The oven has been broken for months according to the reviews. A staple of a large family cabin, this spoiled our cooking plans. Many of the outlets in the bathrooms are touchy or don't work at all. The entryway was dark, creepy and junky with a panel leading to the crawlspace open and who knows what under there. If you are coming, locate the address on a map then find the back of the house where the garage is and identify the roads that get you there, because you CANNOT park and unload from the main road--the stairs are broken and the terrain up to the house is a steep hill. They do NOT warn you about that. Many windows do not have screens so you can't open them--too many bugs. As many people have mentioned, this is a neat house with a nice view and a lot of potential, but they don't seem interested in doing any upgrades, so if you like staying in a kinda clean but shabby house from 1979 this is the place for you.
