Architectural Beauty with Lake View

Unique among the homes on Donner Lake, you will experience luxury, refinement and beauty. Our custom built home with unobstructed Donner Lake views offers tranquility and spaciousness by architectural design. You will have easy access to the lake being directly across the street from public piers. Enjoy the 25' high ceilings; two-story, stone fireplace; floor to ceiling windows, abundant light, radiant heat and soothing sounds of the creek. Spaces for quiet reading or gathering for conversation The space On Fourth of July watch the fireworks over Donner Lake from the front deck or take an easy walk to West End Beach or the boat launch for viewing without the hassle of parking a car. Our Lake House is ideal year round for a peaceful retreat or special time with family and friends after a day of outdoor fun. Our guests include honeymooners as well as runners, bikers and swimmers who come to train in the altitude or participate in the many competitive events nearby. We have many repeat guests who come annually. The ceilings are 25' high, soaring with light from every window. Skylights on the second floor flood the bedrooms and loft with natural light, creating an architectural design feature called 'borrowed light.' Three private bedrooms accommodate six: Primary = King, Creekside = Queen, Lakeside = Queen. Additionally, the open loft has two twin futons that serve as comfortable beds for two more (for a total of 8 in the house). Good for children or youth. The beautiful, reclaimed hardwood flooring and slate flooring are heated by a system of copper piping, beneath the floors, that offers comfort and cleanliness, no drying forced air heat. The floor to ceiling stone fireplace makes for cozy evenings in the Great Room. From early morning watch Donner Lake change throughout the day while relaxing and lingering on the porch in comfortable deck chairs. Take in sunset and the night sky from the pier just steps away, across Donner Pass Road. The practical kitchen is well equipped and offers GE Monogram stainless steel appliances, Wolf five burner cooktop, granite countertops, microwave, toaster and coffee make. There is an outdoor BBQ grill also. NOTE: This listing's nightly price includes the mandated Truckee tax. Be leery of listings that showcase only the nightly rental price and add an additional charge later for the tax not included in the "check availability" pricing.

For the holiday season a reservation must include Christmas Day + weekend or New Years + weekend. Here are reviews from our other listing site: I Could Watch that Lake View Forever Submitted: Aug 16, 2017 5 out of 5 Stars What a stunning lake home. Starts with the views - it always felt like the lake was just nearby, we haven't been in a home with more attention paid to the sight lines and window placement & construction. We spent mornings & evenings on the wraparound porch with views of both ends of the lake that would be hard to beat. Very spacious kitchen / living area, our family always had plenty of room to spread out. Location provides super-easy access to public piers in front, boat rentals a ten minute walk away, ice cream, plus the west end beach. Home is super-clean and feels new. Strongly recommend this home and we are certainly considering to return. Gorgeous lake house Submitted: Feb 20, 2016 Wonderful property across the street from the lake. Amazing views of snow-capped peaks reflecting in the water. Everything is supplied and this was perfect for our small family for a long weekend. Loved the heated floors and the deep whirlpool tub. Proximity to Sugarbowl makes the skiing super easy. Would rent again anytime! A Definite Repeat Retreat! Date of Stay: June 12, 2015 This vacation home is bright, clean, and almost as breathtaking inside as the lake is outside. Uniquely positioned on a hillside with a creek bubbling nearby, my family would have been happy relaxing and playing games in the house all weekend. But, Donner Lake beckons from daybreak through the picturesque front windows. Several steps out the front door and you are at the waters edge. We kayaked, canoed, paddle boarded and enjoyed our time on the piers. The owner is all about customer satisfaction: timely response, personable, attention to detail, and good follow through. Overall, a pleasure to work with. Next time we'll plan for at least a week! Gorgeous and serene donner lake home Date of Stay: February 14, 2015 We have stayed in many (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) properties and this was by far the best! The modern timber frame architecture of the home allows beautiful light by day and breathtaking views of the stars by night. Watching the pines appear and disappear like ghosts through the morning mist on the lake was spectacular. The interior finishes are lovely, the layout thoughtful and everything is clean and tidy. Our deposit check was returned in record speed. We were home for just two days when the kids began to ask when we would go back to "our Tahoe house." This is a great location for skiing with three top resorts within 10- 20 minutes of the property. We hope to return in summer to take in the lake and hiking. An amazing Experience! Date of Stay:December Such a beautifully stunning home. We didn't want to leave. The home is perfectly placed by the lake and close to everything. The interior is beautifully designed and very comforting and inviting. The kitchen is fully stocked with every utensil, pot, pan, you could ever need and it was all high quality. Being a first time home renter I am now spoiled. Every detail was easily laid out. The owner is very gracious and made us feel at home. We will definitely return.
