Magical riverfront Swiss-inspired Chalet with hot tub

Swiss Chalet on the Yuba River | Historic Donner Summit Retreat

Escape to the Sierra and experience the charm of a classic Swiss-inspired chalet perched along the beautiful Yuba River on historic Donner Summit. Set on a rare riverfront property with hundreds of feet of Yuba River frontage, this mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of alpine character, outdoor adventure, and peaceful relaxation.  

Wake to the sound of flowing water, enjoy coffee overlooking the river, and spend your days exploring some of Northern California’s most spectacular mountain terrain. World-class skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and snowshoeing are all just minutes away, making this the perfect basecamp for every season.  

Inside, you’ll find the warmth and character of a true mountain chalet—cozy gathering spaces, a fireplace for snowy evenings, and comfortable accommodations designed for families and friends. After a day on the slopes or trails, unwind by the fire, soak in the mountain atmosphere, or simply listen to the river from the deck beneath the stars.

Located on historic Donner Summit, you’ll enjoy easy access to the region’s rich history, breathtaking Sierra scenery, and year-round recreation while still feeling tucked away in your own private mountain sanctuary. Whether you’re chasing powder, exploring alpine trails, or seeking a quiet weekend by the river, this chalet offers an authentic Donner Summit experience.
