The location and house were perfect. Walkable to marina and pub and also walkable to beach/picnic areas. The house sits above the lake - a beautiful view from the decks. We also enjoyed sitting out on the pier. Glad there were beach towels to use. We will be back.

Perfect Family Getaway
Our family had an excellent time staying at this beautiful property. The new pier was absolutely stunning and provided the perfect spot for sunbathing and evening sunsets. The views from the house were amazing from the two decks, and the location was perfect, close to donner memorial state park! Check-in and check-out was also very easy making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

Nice view, but do not bring young kids or infants
The house was very impressive when we first showed up and the view is very nice, however there is a long walk from the garage to the house, about 100' and it drops about 30' in elevation, so going in and out of the house was a lot of work and I almost passed out after loading the cars up to leave (to be fair, the elevation added to the difficulty of the long walk). The house is in a nice area and is pleasant to hang out in, but 2 out of 3 bedrooms are on the bottom floor and you can hear everything through the floor. I've never experienced anything like that, but when we put down my nephew for a nap in the room below, we had to walk on our tip toes and whisper on the top floor and we couldn't tip toe over the room where the baby slept because even the creaking from the tip toes would wake him right up. Each morning the entire house wakes up at the same time because there's no way to make coffee without creaking over the two bedrooms below. I woke up one morning and thought someone was moving a chair back and forth upstairs, only to find out that my daughter was coloring and the coloring book was sliding back and forth on the ground as she colored. Although it was nice being able to commmunicate with people on the upper floor without having to leave my bedroom. Some additional advice- the shower curtain on the bottom floor hallway has lots of mildew, so we recommend taking showers in the bathroom off the kitchen. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but not without it's challenges.

Disappointed
The view is wonderful and so is the water. I knew there were stairs but not that many. The wi-fi was spotty. I rent quite a few homes across the country and I’ve never had beds with miss matched and OLD sheets. I have never had a kitchen without storage bags or silver foil. This was a college hang out.

Great house. Great location. Never stayed at Donner lake before but loved the slower pace and beautiful views. House was great. The stairs are an issue for anyone who is elderly or knee issues but we knew that so not an issue for us. The downstairs bedrooms did not have curtains on the sliding doors and the sun in the morning was a bit much. That’s really our only complaint. The beds we’re comfortable and the house well stocked. Take any aluminum wrap or storage containers you might need. We’ll definitely rent this house again. It was clean and comfy.

This home was perfect for our family of 8. We celebrated my dads 85th birthday. The views were fantastic and it was great to have our own dock where we could go out and use our paddle boards whenever we wanted without having to drive somewhere. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The couch was large enough for all of us to sit and watch a movie. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Great House on the Lake
Beautiful property our whole family enjoyed….but there are LOTS of steps - from the garage down to the house, inside the house (3 levels) and then down to the dock. Unloading & loading back up were tiring!! Sadly, smoke from nearby fire limited some of our outdoor time/activities, but still enjoyed our time in this beautiful spot.

Beautiful view of the lake!
We stayed in this Vrbo to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday. The location is beautiful with perfect views of the lake from both decks. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need and there is plenty of seating. As of the date of our stay (9/8/22), the oven door was broken, which we weren’t made aware of, so the oven was on and the door nearly fell off. I’ll be letting the property management know so hopefully that will be fixed. We had 7 adults, and while the listing description is technically accurate, the beds in the loft aren’t really designed for adults so just take that into account when you are planning for sleeping arrangements. Also, again, while the listing mentions the stairs, there are ~30 stairs from where you park down to the driveway, ~ 20 stairs from the driveway down to the front door and ~50 stairs from the door down to the water (plus the stairs in the house down to the bottom floor and then up to the loft). The pictures show stairs, but this house would be really challenging for anyone with mobility issues. Overall, it is a beautiful home, all beds aside from the loft were very comfortable and you can’t beat the view!

We stayed with another family & there was plenty of room for everyone. Upstairs area was perfect for the kids, while the master bedroom was on the lower floor & very private. Parking was easy & we were able to store the boat trailer in the garage for the weekend (although it was a snug fit). We reached out to the property manager a few times by email & got a response within minutes each time.
