Donner Lake and Historic Downtown Truckee are about 10 minutes away offering outstanding restaurants and delightful shopping. The Tahoe Donner Ski Resort is just two miles from the house.

In addition, there’s a large flat screen cable TV with TiVo DVR, Blu-ray player, complimentary high-speed WiFi, two leather sofas with cushy pillows and a game table for puzzles, card playing, etc. There is an additional cable equipped TV in the largest downstairs bedroom.

The rear deck off the dining room and kitchen, which faces the Carson Range, offers an outdoor sofa, table and chairs, and a Weber BBQ. The large front deck off the living room has a large outdoor table, umbrella, and seating for 8.

Lovely cabin

This was our second stay at this property and it was just as great as the first. Beautiful view, wonderful layout, comfortable beds, fantastic kitchen. We got unlucky with the weather so the skiing was not all we hoped it would be. The house was though!

Great stay

We had a great time, the house was clean and well stocked. Plenty of seating in the family room and at the dinning table. The king bedroom downstairs had a twin sleeper couch that was great for their 6 year old. We were able to create a sled path for the little ones, which is always plus. Communication was easy and Lynn responded right away. Perfect for multi generational family vacation.

Perfect in every way

Best rental I’ve ever stayed in. The cabin was spotlessly clean, well appointed and well stocked, comfortable beds, excellent location and the owners were so accommodating in every way. My kids commented repeatedly how nice the cabin was and they’ve stayed in some nice places. The view off the deck is beautiful and the sunrises were phenomenal. The cabin has great hills aside and behind it. My kids made a sled and ski/snowboard ramp that we were able to launch some fun jumps. I can’t wait to return next year and for longer!

Beautiful Truckee Getaway!

We had an outstanding experience staying at this beautiful Tahoe Donner property for the second year in a row. The home is exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. It was fully stocked with all the kitchen supplies we needed, making meal preparation a breeze, and there were plenty of linens to accommodate our large group comfortably.The bedrooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and the beds were very comfortable. The living area was perfect for relaxing, with cozy sofas, a fireplace, and entertainment options. We especially loved the outdoor spaces – the decks provided stunning views of the mountains and were ideal for enjoying morning coffee or evening BBQs.The location was perfect allowing ample area for the kids to sled in the backyard as well as, offering easy access to hiking trails, Donner Lake, and nearby ski resorts. The Tahoe Donner amenities, including pools, tennis courts, and a private beach, added extra value and variety to our stay.Kevin and Lynn were wonderful hosts—friendly, professional, and incredibly responsive. Their attention to detail and hospitality made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed.We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This home exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Kevin and Lynn, for an unforgettable stay!

Great family property

Our week long stay with 3 generations of our family was great. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We are a family that likes to cook and the kitchen was well equipped with all the necessities and beyond. Large bedrooms with comfortable beds, a stocked laundry room, with plenty of bath towels, a spacious living room with large tv. There was just enough snow on the ground for the kids to use the sleds provided by the property owners to have a great time on the sloped backyard. Property owners are very personable and checked in with us shortly after our arrival to see if we needed anything. Location makes for an easy drive to all of the area amenities. We will definitely stay here again for our annual winter vacation.

Beautiful view and nice house

This house is beautiful and has an amazing view! The kitchen and house are well-stocked and easily accommodated our party of 8 people (5 adults, 3 kids). The owners were especially nice about letting us arrive and leave whenever since they didn’t have renters at this time. The only thing I would want other renters to be aware of is renting in July as there wasn’t AC and we were there during a heat dome. They have an attic fan system that you can run at night since they still drop to the 50s but the house still warms to the 80s during the afternoon and doesn’t drop until around 8pm. They had portable fans in each room and very detailed instructions on how to keep it manageable which we did but we thought others would want to know. I’m not sure if Lake Tahoe gets yearly heat waves in July. I do think this house would be awesome to stay in during cooler time periods- they are especially stocked for snow with sleds and other fun things for winter! They also had beach towels for using at Lake Tahoe and porches that face east and west which were pleasant to sit on! We saw deer and coyotes from the house :)

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Fischer

Host profile image
Our family loves the mountains! Swimming in Donner lake, skiing in the Tahoe area, golfing, hiking, relaxing by our fireplace or just enjoying the view - you name it and we love doing it! We've lived all lived and grown up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and, after renting season after season, we decided to buy! Our home is beautifully decorated, comfortable and well appointed for a group of 8 people.

Why they chose this property

We chose this home because of its spectacular views of the Carson Range and its layout....a lovely, spacious open concept kitchen, dining and living area with plenty of seating, leather sofas and a game table! We can hike the Tahoe National Forest by walking about 500 feet from our front door. World class skiing is a sort drive depending on where you want to ski!
