Hosting East coast relatives
The house was a perfect way to show East coast relatives California. The space easily accommodated 7 adults (3 couples 1 and a 1-year old. The kitchen was spectacular - made it easy to prepare meals. Hosts graciously allowed us to use paddle boards and kayaks. We had a terrific time.

Great house in the lake!
We loved staying at the renovated Donner Lake house! The house easily fit our 3 families with lots of room to hang out. The kids enjoyed the game room downstairs and going on the lake. They especially liked the canoes and paddle boards. We would definitely stay here again!

Spectacular Lake Front Cabin
My family and I rent different lake front cabins on Donner Lake every year. We could not have been more pleased with this waterfront location, the ease of communication with the owners, and how well stocked the cabin and boat house were with anything we could've needed. The owners were quick and responsive to all communication and very friendly and personable. The house was stocked with basic necessities, kitchen items, games, and plenty of linens. The boat house had extra boards and chairs- really anything you didn't even know you needed.
We would absolutely rent this property again.

Thank You
We unfortunately didn’t get to stay at this beautiful property that we booked 6 months ago. Two days
before our trip I had a major medical emergency. A friend contacted Jennifer (owner) immediately and without hesitation she issued a full refund! She could
of kept the money but she didn’t. There are still good people in this world that will do the right thing even though the don’t have to. I was expecting to have to pay the deposit or just lose the entire amount. Nope Jennifer refunded the entire amount. How incredible is that?
We will definitely rent her beautiful home sometime in the future.

Sadly would not recommend
Unfortunately when we arrived the fridge had a substantial amount of spoiled food and there was a lot of garbage in the home that had never been taken out. Some of the ‘sleeping arrangements’ ended up just being twin mattresses on the floor - which was not our understanding from the posting. When we arrived we also learned from the neighbors that we could not park near the home because they would be roofing their house all weekend and needed the space. While we were able to initially get a hold of the owners, we were not pleased with their lack of interest in addressing the cleanliness issue and in terms of parking, sent us to another hill to park. This particular rental also had a substantial amount of personal items that appeared to belong to the owners - it’s certainly not a home designed for regular renters. Despite the lovely location, the stay was certainly not worth the high price and we struggled to find other options last minute.

Wonderful Trip
We took a mini vacation with family after Labor Day and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home feels cozy like a cabin, but is actually big enough to fit several people. The home has 3 levels, and plenty of amenities to keep everyone in your group happy. Whether you want relaxation time, lake time, TV/movie time, indoor/outdoor games, lots of outside adventures, Chef’s kitchen with lots of cooking options, & so much more, then you found your home away from home. Thank you to the owners, Jen & Ryan, for making our stay seamless & enjoyable 😊

The Best Donner Lake has to offer
This house is spectacular with the most amazing views and lake access. Our family has spent a week at Donner Lake every summer for the past 25 years and this house is by far one of the best available to rent.

Beautiful home
This home was the perfect fit for our summer family vacation! Roomy, clean, fully stocked, owner was very responsive, and BEAUTIFUL views of the lake! We brought our own kayaks but the home was fully stocked with kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets, and chairs for use. We loved the bar and the game room as well. The kitchen was spacious for our big family meals and had everything we needed. The balconies were the perfect place to hangout drinking our morning coffee or sipping a cocktail in the evening overlooking the peaceful lake.
We’re already looking forward to staying here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
