Wonderful place right on the lake. Steep spiral staircase to downstairs which is a little tricky to navigate. All the play stuff was wonderful to have along with the safety gear of water vests. Enjoyed our stay! Will hopefully come back soon!

beautiful location, spacious home and perfect for traveling with our kids. They loved all the games and the view of the train traveling in the mountains across the lake! We loved the views and the proximity to restaurants/services. Hosts were great communicators. We'll be back!

Lakefront

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.

Cozy lakefront condo on Donner Lake

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.

Breathtaking!

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.

Family trip

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.

Great little condo right on the lake.

We had a brief stay on Donner Lake at this property and really enjoyed ourselves. The lake in the morning is crystal clear and peaceful, perfect for a paddle.

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!

Welcoming

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.

Has It All

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

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.
