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!

It was very easy to find. The parking a bit tricky but the hosts were very responsive. We had a nice time. Thank you.

Very friendly and helpful customer service. Our truck broke down in front of the home and staff was helpful and very understanding as we navigated getting a tow in a snow storm. Would stay again.

The cabin is located right across the street from the lake which was fantastic. A short walk got us right on a public dock or shoreline. The view from the deck was great. We like the location because it is not busy or crowded. The cabin was clean and served us well. Two things that we noticed, the shower was tiny. I am 6 ft and my wife is 5 ft 2 inches and we both found it small. A shower wand would help a lot. Also there was no hot water at the kitchen sink. Not a major problem .

Best location for the price. The amenities inside the house are bare minimum with the small TV and lack on shower space but, just take a look out on the patio and it makes you forget about the lack of the inside.

Not for people with walking disabilities. However, once getting up on the property with help from family and friends and settling in, the view of the lake is beautiful. I enjoyed having coffee out on the deck and dinner. The docks on the lake are across the road and easy access for our teenagers.
