Overview

Lakefront Retreat on Donner Lake

Bring the whole family to experience the beauty of Donner Lake at this stunning lakefront retreat. From vaulted redwood ceilings and walls of natural light to a spacious deck and private dock, this home is designed for relaxation inside and out. Nearly every room offers breathtaking views of the lake. Cozy evenings can be spent in the living area with a good book and a fire in the wood-burning brick fireplace (firewood not provided).

In summer, gather on the deck or enjoy the private dock for swimming, fishing, boating, or simply dipping your toes in the water. After a day of adventure, unwind in the hot tub as the sun sets and the Sierra peaks fade to purple.

In winter, the surrounding mountains transform into a snowy playground with world-class resorts nearby, including Sugar Bowl, Donner Ski Ranch, Tahoe-Donner, and Boreal. Year-round, Truckee’s charming downtown offers shopping, dining, and local nightlife just minutes away.

Anonymous Review from Airbnb

August 2026

This is such a great place. We stayed at the house the entire time because it was so much fun having the private dock. I highly recommend this one!

We’ve been coming to Donner for 35 years every summer and this was by far our favorite spot. Truly magical.

Dan G

Best view and dock on the lake.

ART C

June 2025

We liked the 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on 3 floors which allowed each family to have their own space and bathroom.

Gayle N

June 2025

This house had enough room for 3 generations of family. The dock is huge and accommodated all of our lake sport toys. The lake water was cold but the hot tub fixed that problem. The views out the window were amazing and it’s close enough to the beach to kayak or paddle board to.
