Frosty Pines Cabin: Cozy 2 Bedroom Family Retreat

Welcome to Frosty Pines, a freshly renovated 2 bedroom cozy cabin nestled right off Donner Pass; an ideal family retreat and perfect home base for your outdoor adventures.

In the summer, dip your toes in the river at the end of the dirt road like it’s 1959; grill on the deck until the stars come out. In the winter, come experience one of the snowiest places in the US: Donner Pass. Curl up by the fire with some hot chocolate after a big ski day and make memories with the whole family.

This little family cabin is right off of I-80, 10 minutes before the top of Donner Summit in small community called Kingvale. Whether you're hitting the slopes at Sugar Bowl in the winter or exploring scenic hiking trails, this cabin is the ideal base for outdoor adventures.

The Cabin:
- One bedroom (Queen) + Loft (2x Full)
- One bathroom
- Cozy wood fireplace for chilly evenings + wood
- Heated floors
- Fully-equipped kitchen
- Air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort
- Outdoor propane grill and chairs
- Family-friendly atmosphere
- Complimentary snow shoes and hiking poles
- Ski / Snowboard holders

Location:
- Under 10 minutes to Sugar Bowl, Boreal, and Soda Springs ski resorts.
- 8 minutes to Royal Gorge, largest x-country ski resort in North America.
- 8 minutes to the Pacific Crest Trail and various hiking trail heads
- South Yuba River only steps away at the end of the driveway
- 13 minutes to Donner Lake
- 15 minutes to Truckee
- 30 minutes to King’s Beach @ Lake Tahoe

WINTER ACCESS: DONNER PASS IS NOT A JOKE.

1. The driveway is NOT PLOWED
There is a short 200ft walk to the cabin, typically in packed down snow. This is not a plowed road to a large condominium, this is a 1930s cabin in the depths of Donner Pass. Despite this, expect to see lots of families at the other cabins nearby :).

2. The booking has flexible refunds up to 24 hours in advance for a reason!
While the cabin has electricity and running water and great access to I-80, it is imperative that you check the weather forecast and plan accordingly. Please try to use proper judgement.

3. When it snows, expect I-80 to SHUTDOWN
We are located close to the top of the pass; you will be able to get out (most likely), but they will close traffic coming to the cabin if the roads are dangerous.

More detailed information is available upon booking regarding parking and additional instructions. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions. The cabin is a wonderful family spot and winters are a blast. We want to make sure our guests have the right expectations.

The cutest cabin

I highly recommend this beautiful cabin! We had a blast playing in the snow, driving into Truckee, and enjoying cozy evenings by the fire. The cabin was very clean and has everything and is fully equipped. The host was easy to get ahold of and a great communicator! We had the best time!
