This stunning and stylish lakefront two bedroom two story townhouse has been completely refinished and features a private beach and private boat dock on the desirable West End of Donner Lake. This is one of the only lakefront locations that offers a full unobstructed view of the entire length of Donner Lake! The townhouse was fully remodeled in 2015 with a brand new kitchen, top-of-the-line GE stainless appliances, all new furnishings, and a full size laundry room with side-by-side washer and dryer.

Enter the home by traveling up one flight of stairs to the front door. Starting at the entryway, every inch of space has been put to use. As you walk in, there's a stone floor, bench and coat rack. A half bathroom leads to a full laundry room with extra storage space. Your eyes will be drawn across the space to the double sliding glass windows that open directly to beautiful Donner Lake. Just past the mudroom space, you're in the beautifully updated kitchen. Top line appliances compliment the dark wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and modern, pendant lighting. An island gives the cook a little extra room, with space for family to sit and chat. Sharing the open space, the large dining room table has room for all, and a skylight adds natural lighting. The living area, open to both the kitchen and dining area, completes the floor. A flat screen TV/blue Ray DVD and a wood burning stove framed in river rock round out the great room space.

Off the living space a covered deck with adirondack chairs are waiting for you overlooking your private beach and the crystal clear water of Donner Lake. On the deck you have the entire length of the lake in view - simply breathtaking! The deck and private beach also offer an incredible front row seat to the Donner Lake 4th of July fireworks!

Upstairs, you'll see additional entertainment options; including a loft space with flat screen TV/DVD and an entire wall filled with books, DVDs, and games. A trundle bed converts to two twin beds for extra sleeping space. The first bedroom upstairs features a king bed and access to a balcony. The rustic wood furniture reminds you you're living the mountain life!

Sharing the upstairs balcony, the second bedroom offers a queen bed with one twin bunk bed for siblings or best buddies to share. The large upstairs bathroom features a shared vanity area with a full shower space and toilet that can close off for privacy. On the other side of the sink area, there's an oversized soaking tub surrounded by tile with room for toys or a book and a glass of wine; which can also be closed off.

The townhouse comes with a dedicated boat slip, lounge chairs, shared barbecues, picnic table areas and an on-site marina. The on-site marina offers a full selection of rentals from kayaks and paddle boards to jet-skis, ski boats and pontoon boats. Everything you need is right here!

Donner Lake is a year-round playground! Boating, skiing, and fishing are of course the top draws, but spring flower watching and fall hiking/biking are not to be missed. In the winter, enjoy easy freeway access and a few minute drive to Boreal and Sugar Bowl Ski Resorts. Northstar and Squaw Valley are easy 20 minute drives. All you need is steps away!

Enjoy the best Donner Lake has to offer at this beautifully appointed and updated vacation rental! We look forward to welcoming you to Donner Vista!

Wonderful!

This is the 2nd time we stayed at this property. The thing that brought us back is the view from the deck of the lake. It is so beautiful in the morning and evening. During the day it is fun to watch the water skiers, kayakers, fishermen, etc. It's a great place to stay that is close to everything. There is a great beach within walking distance also. The condo has everything you need to have a wonderful stay.

Donner Lake Gem

We have stayed at this property a few times and it never disappoints. The property is clean and well appointed with easy access to all the Truckee/Donner area has to offer. We mostly enjoy this property because we bring our ski boat and are able to dock and ski every day! The neighbors are also fun to get to know! Always a positive experience.

Cozy Place to stay with Family

Nice Condo with a spectacular view of Donner Lake. The living area is very nice, Kitchen clean and well equipped. The 2 bedrooms upstairs were pretty big. Our kids enjoyed the bunk beds. Bathrooms were clean. Owner provided space heaters, there was no central heating control that we could see. Tons of books, games and movies for the entire family. Overall, a great stay.

Perfect spot

The condo is very nice with lovely views over Donner Lake. Quiet and beautiful yet close to skiing, Truckee, etc. A great bonus to have a little cafe across the road. The kitchen was well stocked and the unit was clean and comfortable. My only nits are small ones -- that the bedside lamps need brighter bulbs for reading in bed and it would be nice to have wood in the house for at least one fire. There was lots of kindling/starters but only one log. Overall, though, it was a perfect spot for a spring break for my daughter and me. Thanks.

Donner Lake Getaway

Beautiful lake view condo. We enjoyed our week very much, beautiful weather, loved waking up to the beautiful lake every morning, and every evening seeing the moon shimmer on the water was awesome , we even got to to see the meteor shower, it was awesome . The kitchen was very nicely equipped and easy to work in, the loft was a great place to read , it had a library of books and dvds for all ages. Even though there is no AC, it was comfortable with the sliding doors left open and fans. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck watching the boats and paddle boarders. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful condo

We had a wonderful weekend in this beautiful condo. The views are amazing and walking in makes you feel happy and relaxed. Great use of space- even though condo is compact- we never felt cramped- very comfortable with plenty of space for the six of us. Very clean, great furniture. Amazing to have easy lake access and our sons spent the weekend mountain biking.
