Amazing Retreat

The wide open outdoor spaces with incredible views of Donner Lake and the Summit made for a relaxing place to spend time with friends and family. With plenty of amenities there isn't much else you could ask for on a mountain retreat. Quiet neighborhood, in a stunning place. Its a must stay if you're wondering where to be to entertain on your trip!

Beautiful spacious house with great views. The hot tub and fire pit were an added bonus. Overall the house was clean with the exception of a badly stained bedspread and several dishes in the cupboards were dirty. The kitchen faucet needs repair as well as drywall in the stairwell and the bench by the dining room table. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again and have recommended this place to our friends.

Spacious lake view home

Great rooms with lots of space for your family/group with good layout. During winter it can be hard to heat the top floor so bring firewood for the fireplace in the main living room and enjoy your stay.

Excellent home for a race weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. It was very clean, had everything we needed and provided plenty of space for us. It’s actually a 3 bedroom, 4.5 bath home, which I don’t believe is in the listing. The views of the lake were lovely with an evening glass of wine. My husband did the Donner Lake Triathlon this weekend and it was just close enough to get there easily and just far enough to be quiet and secluded. I would love to stay here again for our next trip to Donner.

Lots of stairs

Beautiful home with a great view, not recommended for the elderly, the stairs are no joke. We ran into a couple house issues but hopefully they will be resolved with our feedback.
