Overview

Permit #: 001634
Occupancy: 6

Come to Truckee and stay in this cozy cabin-style home on the lake and revel in easy access to year-round outdoor activities. Even the family dog is welcome to come along and enjoy the fun.

Your ideal location right on the shores of beautiful Donner Lake means you can step outside whenever you like and partake in activities like fishing, swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. Or just lounge on a public dock and soak up the warm sunshine. Hike the surrounding trails, then make the five-mile trek to town to browse shops or grab a bite to eat. In the winter, head to Sugar Bowl, just five miles away, for powdery fun on the slopes. Or head to Northstar, Squaw Valley, and Alpine Meadows, all within 14 miles.

During winter months, the stairs from parking to walkway can be slippery and covered in snow. There is an incline from the parking area to the cabin, so please use caution.

This home's interior is warm and inviting with wood plank walls and ceilings that rise to a loft, giving the open concept living area a spacious feel. Plentiful windows brighten up the space, and the deck just off the living room provides the ideal spot for relaxing and taking in gorgeous views of the lake and mountains in the distance. You'll have free WiFi to stay in touch with friends and family, and the well-equipped kitchen offers lots of counter space so the cooks in your group can spread out and create tasty snacks and meals.

Make this comfortable, Old Tahoe cabin your home base and set yourself up for a peaceful, stress-free Truckee vacation. Reserve it today!

Adorable cabin with incredible views and a stone’s throw to Donner Lake. Lots of public docks to choose from and close to the Donner County Park museum and trails.

Very cute cabin and was nicely furnished with wonderful views of Donner Lake. We really enjoyed the wood decor and vaulted wood ceilings. The bedrooms were cozy and the loft was very comfortable. The outside deck made for comfortable mornings sipping coffee and evenings having dinner viewing Donner Lake. The cabin has pretty everything a family would need to feel at home. My only suggestion would be to update the sheets to cotton and some of the pots/pans are a bit tired. Overall, a very nice place and would definitely come back.

Avari response:

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at our cozy cabin, Joe! The views of Donner Lake really do make for a perfect backdrop, especially while sipping coffee on the deck or enjoying dinner in the evenings. It’s wonderful to hear that you appreciated the wood decor and the comfort of the loft and bedrooms.

Thank you for your suggestions regarding the sheets and cookware; we always value feedback that helps us enhance our guests' experience. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay, perhaps to enjoy more mornings on the deck or explore the area further.

A truly enjoyable setting. The facility was clean and well appointed with plentiful kitchenware, dishes, towels and linens. Cold natured may want to bring extra blankets.Fireplace worked ceiling fan could not figure out. TV and Cable one day the next day was not functioning. Could not get DVD to work. Suggestion: Tag remotes with an ID that indicates what it controls or is associated with and instructions on how to use.Already planning a return trip.
