LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION on DONNER LAKE, TRUCKEE: enjoy it's pristine beauty all year round! Donner Lake is called the "Jewel of Tahoe" because it’s so clean and unspoiled. There's nothing but a little sand (or snow) between you and a beautiful lake. A serene setting with panoramic views. Enjoy your stay at our cozy, somewhat rustic and comfortable condo on the lake. * COVID: Housekeeping is following the cleaning guidelines set by the state and county health dept’s. * Returning Guest?

SUMMER: has lots of lake activities and we also have a seasonal dock (Memorial Day - Labor Day) and a slip for your boat or you can rent a watercraft at the marina right on the compound. They rent everything from jet skies to paddle boats to ski boats and party boats. More info on request. * Occasionally a train goes by across the lake on the mountainside and it's great to see and hear as it charges along. WINTER: we have four major ski resorts nearby, some smaller ones and some cross country locations too. Sugar Bowl is the closest major resort and it was the first in CA in 1937, a 10 minute drive. Squaw Valley, North Star and Alpine Meadows, 15 - 20 minute drives. There's a smaller, easier, less expensive one close by across from Sugar Bowl called Donner Ski Ranch and the rustic/casual restaurant there also, open almost year round. Lots of sledding all around the area. More info upon request. Lakeside Pub, just two blocks west of us is a great place to get a bite to eat year round and there's a seasonal, cute little ice cream and tacos parlor across the street from us and a small convenience store too. NEARBY ACTIVITIES: Besides the lake, Casino's, 30 minute drive, Donner Memorial State Park and museum, 5 minutes, Reno Nevada, 40 minutes and Lake Tahoe, 30 minutes.

Baths have a total of 3 sinks, 3 toilets, 1 double wide shower and 1 shower/tub combo.

TO DO: HISTORIC OLD TOWN TRUCKEE: is a 10 minute drive along the lake where you'll find quaint little shops to browse through with wooden boardwalks and restaurants of the old west from "a time gone by". People love visiting this part of town. Check out the great visitor center too at the train station with plenty of brochures and info on things to see and do in the entire North Shore Tahoe region from Train rides to whitewater rafting, to skydiving and much much more. The passenger train passes through daily for travelers getting on and off in Truckee then it continues on to Reno Nevada. One of our favorite large restaurants is "Bar of America" for food, drinks and live music on weekends. It's quite a happening place! There's also a wine bar across the street and many, many other places to dine. MODERN TRUCKEE as we call it, is a 6 minute scenic drive along the lake. There you'll find large chain stores for grocery, pharmacy, hardware, firewood, gas stations, restaurants, coffee shops, fast food places and more. One of our favorite restaurants there is Taco Jalisco's for excellent, casual, authentic, fresh MEX. (located next to the 7-11 store) During difficult times things can change rapidly. If you think you may have to cancel your trip due to covid or otherwise, we suggest you purchase “travelers insurance” so you are covered. Referral insurance co. upon request. WORK from our place via our strong WIFI with Zoom and with conferencing capability. FALL and SPRING is when it quiets down on the lake. You'll have it pretty much to yourself. It’s a wonderful time to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of serenity on the lake. There's really no way to describe it, you just have to experience it for yourselves. It truly is a beautiful spot. HOLIDAYS: 3 night minimum on Labor Day, Thanks Giving, Presidents Day, MLK, Memorial Day and 4th of July requires a 4 night minimum.

Early arrival and late departures may be available for an additional 50/hour fee if housekeeping can arrange their schedule to accommodate you. Plz make those requests early for your best chance of success. HANDICAPPED: Unfortunately, our condo is probably not accessible to lower extremity handicapped people because our entrance is up a flight of stairs to the second floor and no elevator and once inside, the bedrooms are up another staircase. Our condo is somewhat "rustic" and we like it b/c it's different than our house in suburbia. We truly hope you will enjoy yourselves by making yourself at home in our cozy, comfortable and somewhat rustic condo.

The location can't be beat! Steps from the water with unobstructed beach front views of the lake, and close proximity to all Truckee has to offer. The condo was comfortable and cozy, and Tor's prompt and easy communication made for a very enjoyable trip. Bring your boat, paddleboards, kayaks, and a good book- this is the perfect spot for kicking back and relaxing!

Excellent property with a front row view of the lake and the Donner Triathlon this past weekend which was super fun. Very convenient to the marina as well, jus steps away so renting paddleboards and a boat for wake surfing was easy. Highly recommend !

A gem Donner is perhaps a somewhat overlooked gem in the Sierras lingering in the shadow of its big brother, Lake Tahoe. It's great and this place is perfectly situated. We loved our stay.

A nice place with a stunning view! We stayed 2 nights in late June. The property was as advertised; no issues. Great views of Donner Lake, but the water is still frigid in late June, so we only dipped our toes in. It is a short drive to the restaurants and shopping in Truckee. Not very far to the north shore of Lake Tahoe either. Overall, we had a good stay.
