Great place, great view

We really enjoyed our stay, it’s very close to town and overlooks Donner. My only negative is the e pillows on the bed are not very comfortable, so bring your own if you can.

Marvelous Home, Amazing Views and Relaxing Stay

This is our second stay at this gorgeous home overlooking Donner Lake. The home is situated minutes from Truckee where there are wonderful restaurants, groceries stores and fun shopping. The 'Great Room' is huge with panoramic views of Donner Lake and the mountains. The Primary Suite is also huge with the same views. LOVE the kitchen - the kitchen of my dreams with granite countertops, a big center island, every type of appliance you could wish for, lots of pots, pans, dishware, etc. Eat in or take out and enjoy the view. There are two gas burning fireplaces (upstairs and downstairs) that warm up the home incredibly well. It was in the 20's our whole stay. We were toasty warm. Need one of these! Nice to have a bathroom on the main floor that can be used by the second bedroom. The third bedroom is downstairs next to the Primary Suite. The home comes with a washer and dryer. Paul is a fantastic host! He is responsive, friendly and welcoming. We'll be back next winter!

Great veiw rental

The veiw of Lake Donner and the surrounding mountains is wonderful. You can see the train across the lake. Comfortable house with a nice open combined kitchen and living room area. You can see and hear I80 in the front of the house.

Don’t plan on getting sleep

The house was nice enough, clean and nice view of Donner Lake. However, the noise from the freeway was extremely loud and prevented sleep. During the day it wasn’t so noticeable given ambient noise from tv etc but once retiring for the evening, it was almost impossible to get to sleep.

Amazing Views, Great Layout

We enjoyed our stay at this Truckee home near Donner Lake. Views are incredible. Great open floor plan made relaxing, playing card games, and cooking with the family easy. We would definitely come again. But do bring slippers! the tile floors are cold. (Heated floors only in the bathrooms)

Truckee

The house was nice inside. Kitchen and bathrooms are newly updated. The view is amazing! The traffic noise was horrible. You could not open the windows because it was so loud. The blinds in the bedroom upstairs are broken. It felt a little uncomfortable in the bathroom downstairs because there was a window with no blinds.

Nice view but too hot to enjoy

We chose this property because of the gorgeous view of Donner Lake. Unfortunately, it was too hot to keep the shades open for most of our stay so we really couldn't enjoy it. The indoor temperature reached 88 degrees one day and was pretty unbearably hot. The owner suggested keeping screens open at night but we didn't feel particularly safe to do that. Fortunately, we found some fans we could use but it was brutally hot and there is no outdoor space to use in the height of day. I would not recommend bringing anyone sensitive to heat to this house. Also, we experienced a power outage for a few hours and therefore couldn't use fans. The kitchen was quite nice, though the floors could've used a cleaning. There were also no clean sponges available.

Great Truckee Property

My family and I greatly enjoyed staying at this property. Although you can hear the sounds of the freeway, it didn’t bother us at all. We were warned that the picture windows would get the afternoon sun would warm up the place, so we made sure all the heaters were off before we left the house. The view of the lake was spectacular. The newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms were awesome! I was so excited to have heated floors. They accept dogs, but there is a slight fee. One of the bedrooms bed (queen) was extremely squeaky and kept my son up all night. My primary bed was awesome. The only complaint/concern was the cleanliness of the place. The refrigerator was dirty. The countertop was sticky, there were bugs on the window sills, the only carpet in the stairs needs to be replaced. I wanted to clean things up and ran out of the only paper towel roll that was available. Other than that, it was a fabulous stay! Close to town, grocery shopping, playing in the snow, great coffee at Wild Cherries!

Beautiful view.. But that's it.

First up I have to say the owner Paul was nice and accommodating, but the house had nothing else going on for it other than the view which is great! The cabin itself is pretty old & tired. We came to a cold cold house and it has some different sort of radiant heating from the ceiling which took forever to heat up the place. Paul suggested we start up the fireplace and that helped heat the main living area but the downstairs was very unpredictable temperature wise. We would wake up to a cold room in the middle of the night.. And the temp just wouldn't adjust fast enough. Additionally when we got to the house, we opened the dishwasher to find dishes that were covered in fungus/mold that was likely weeks old. That was disgusting and a health hazard for sure. The utensils at the cabin are OLD.. I did read that in other reviews but figured it couldn't be that bad. They're really pretty bad! Paul was very helpful, but I will not be renting this cabin again. I did not think it was worth what we paid for the quality of cabin. While we enjoyed the view at the cabin, that's about it. So be forewarned if you rent!

Road noise

While the property is roomy with a fantastic view of Donner lake , its proximity to the highway makes it extremely noisy at all times . Not the cleanest either.Very strange there aren’t any outdoor decks. As we were there in winter this was ok but I would never rent in summer without outdoor space to enjoy . Also , The person in the downstairs 2nd bedroom has to run up and down steep stairs to bathroom or walk through the master to access . Very inconvenient .

Epic views

This property has a lovely large entertaining space for a family to gather and enjoy views of Donner lake and the surrounding mountains. The kitchen was well equipped with pots for cooking. The property worked well for our dog who is a member of the family, and enjoyed laying in front of the wood stove. The host was very responsive. Thank you for hosting us!

This cabin was great! Clean and well stocked. My kids loved playing in the snow outside while I relaxed while taking in the incredible view. I was concerned about the proximity to the freeway but with the way the cabin is situated you barely notice it. We plan to return.

It's all about that view...

Very nice property. A few issues.. we were told no washer and dryer, but the house does have a washer and dryer. The fire alarm goes off, when you take a shower downstairs and the door is not cracked open and the fan is on. This alarm went on for several minuets. Very load and annoying. Maybe move the alarm?
