Overview

Permit #: 003242 Occupancy: 8 Enjoy majestic lakefront views of the sunrise, sunset, and surrounding Sierra Nevada at this Donner Lake retreat, a waterfront home with a buoy, two tree-lined decks, and nearby access to beaches, tennis, and world-class skiing. This three-level home sits directly on the southern shores of Donner Lake, only one mile from boat rentals, barbecue areas, and tennis and basketball courts at West End Beach. You'll be just a few steps from the water's edge, five miles east of Sugar Bowl Resort and seven miles east of Boreal Mountain Resort. You'll immediately feel at home in the great room, a showcase of alpine character with lofty cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows that frame the forest and lake. Grab a few logs to build a fire in the stone hearth, curl up with a good book, or catch up with friends and family on one of the comfortable leather sofas. You'll have all the necessary appliances to whip up a homemade breakfast in the full kitchen, bar seating, an open dining space, and a dishwasher to handle the clean-up. Spend your summer days swimming, water-skiing, or wakeboarding in the crystal clear waters of Donner Lake, fishing or dangling your feet from the pier, and gazing at the mirror-like reflection of the mountains at sunset. Pull up a beach chair to enjoy the view, light the gas grill for a barbecue dinner, and retreat to the two-level deck for an evening of cocktails and cards. On snowy winter nights, you can make popcorn and hot chocolate as you use the WiFi to check the next morning's mountain conditions. You'll also have a large cable TV, DVD player, and VCR in the living room - the perfect cozy spot for family movie nights. On the ground floor, you'll find a private laundry room. Climb the ladder from the great room to reach the large upstairs loft, where children and fun-loving friends will delight in the beds beneath the eaves. The gorgeous scenery of the Sierras will be right outside your door - don't miss out on this beautiful Donner Lake home! Things to Know RCN # 469

Great location with lots of space. The house is great for kids with the big loft space upstairs and 3 private bedrooms (1 on the main floor) and 2 downstairs. The set up is very convenient for multiple families sharing space.

We loved our stay, we have rented twice. Mostly well maintained, could use some minor TLC. Good for families with older kids. Cant beat Donner Lake for beautiful and this cabin has an incredible view.
