About this property

The cabin sits where Lakeview Creek enters Donner Lake. Listen to the babbling creek and unwind on our deck as you look out over the lake. Take a walk, or bike ride on our cruiser bikes, to the beach. The deck area is the prime entertainment spot. It's a sunny little spot. Perfect for afternoon BBQ's and entertaining. Inside the pine log walls take you back in time, but there are modern finishes. The kitchen has all new stainless appliances. The living room has a 'smart' TV with internet capability. In fact, the entire cabin has wifi, and two of the three bedrooms have TV's as well. For longer stays you will appreciate the laundry room. And there is plenty of parking 'off street'. It's a level driveway that is plowed all winter, and there's a covered walkway, so no snow shoveling to access the cabin! Soooo close to Sugar Bowl :)

PLEASE NOTE: We manage requests, so weeklong reservations take precedent over short stay requests from June 7th to Sept 15th, and from December 20th-January 3rd. Three-day reservations take precedent on holiday weekends. To keep cleaning fees reasonable, we ask guests to launder towels and linens used during their stay, and if there is a concern, they bring their own towels to lessen departure procedures. Beds DO NOT need to be made. Please inquire before your stay, and we can have the cleaner do the forementioned cleaning for an additional $70.

Great spot

Really enjoyed our time at the cabin! Good WiFi available and great communication with owner. Beautiful views (you can see the lake through the trees) and easy access to the Pub and grill. Quick 10 minute drive to Sugarbowl!

Nice but. . .

The house is a very cute little cabin. Very cozy. We loved being close to Donner Lake. Yes, there were views of the lake, but they were definitely obscured. The wifi and TV/cable/streaming apps didn't work. Jim tried to reset them remotely, but we still didn't have any access. We enjoyed the house but we wouldn't have rented it if we would have known there was no wifi or TV/streaming.

Great location near Donner Lake and West End Beach

We had a great time staying at this cabin with our kids. It's a great location, right by the lake but on a quiet street. It's really close to West End Beach and a short drive to Truckee. The cabin itself was clean and well appointed, and provided everything we needed. We had a great time taking our kids to go play in the snow.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Roberts

This is our "cabin", and it's perfect for families and small groups of friends. We ski at Sugar Bowl, and boat and paddle board on the lake in the summer. We road and mtn bike as well. There are terrific mtn bike trails right down the street. And the hiking in the area is truly amazing.

Why they chose this property

The fact that the bike riding is so superb right from the property was a huge surprise. And Donner Lake is just our style of relaxation. We like Tahoe, but Donner has a mellower vibe, less hectic, and more alpine. We enjoy hosting BBQs on our deck and listening to the creek and looking out at the lake.

What makes this property unique

This is a cabin. Its fully renovated with modern conveniences, but the pine logs make it feel rustic and alpine. This is a great family spot. You can park the car and never use it again once you arrive. Everything is close by. If you brought your boat hit the lake. Morning pulls are the best, but evenings are awesome with the sun setting over Donner Peak. And the fishing around Lakeview Creek is the best on Donner Lake. Just don't tell anyone.
