Family really enjoyed our stay here. Charming rustic mountain spot with great Lake Views. We made good use of wood burning stove for cozy nights in a blizzard. Comfy beds. Easy access. We’d stay there again.

We had an amazing time at the property. We brought up our boat, were able to keep it at the slip provided and they even had private parking to store our boat trailer for the duration of the stay. Beautiful views from the back deck, toys and childrens books for our little one. Couldn't have asked for anything more, can't wait to return. And communication with Holly was a breeze.

We needed a place that was close to Truckee but comfortable when we were just hanging out and we found it! Kitchen is well stocked. Parking is easy, and Tor was always just a text or a phone call away if we needed him.

We loved our stay. The place was perfect. Everything you could need on vacation. Clean, plenty of room and nice furniture. Great location, directly on the lake. Couldnt ask for better. Watersports available right there if needed. Very relaxed, quiet area. So picturesque. Wish we couldve stayed longer!

Tor's condo was well-appointed and had everything we needed and more. The view was fantastic and the sandy beach was perfect and the boat slip was super convenient. Communication was top notch. Our only complaint was having to leave. We will be back!

We have stayed at this property a few times and it never disappoints. The property is clean and well appointed with easy access to all the Truckee/Donner area has to offer. We mostly enjoy this property because we bring our ski boat and are able to dock and ski every day! The neighbors are also fun to get to know! Always a positive experience.

Love this place. Great spot for skiing at boreal and relaxing with home made cooking. Can just stare out the window all morning and afternoon, the view is spectacular. Great well stocked kitchen and dishwasher is a plus! Get wood for the fire place- toasty and wonderful ambiance. Rustic cabin great with in winter, hope to try out in summer!

This is the perfect location and a delightful well-maintained property. The large living room windows view right out onto Donner Lake. The kitchen was well equipped. Tor, the property manager and likely the owner as well, was easy to communicate with. He gave us detailed directions on everything we might want to know. Also he has a great sense of humor. Several in our family group who stayed near by want to rent this place next time!

Nice place. A couple of issues: 1) needs deep cleaning- place was dusty and the baseboards were dirty 2) Every door knob and lock needed repair or replacement- we had trouble locking and unlocking doors 3

Our family of 4 had a wonderful time at this condo over the winter break. The location is perfect, right on Donner Lake (an amazing view!), and is just a few minutes away from downtown Truckee. We thought the condo was clean and in very good condition, and once we got the wall heaters correctly set, very comfortable. Tor was clear and helpful with the check in process, and communication was fast. We hope to stay at Tor's condo again!

This is the 2nd time we stayed at this property. The thing that brought us back is the view from the deck of the lake. It is so beautiful in the morning and evening. During the day it is fun to watch the water skiers, kayakers, fishermen, etc. It's a great place to stay that is close to everything. There is a great beach within walking distance also. The condo has everything you need to have a wonderful stay.

We had a lovely stay here. Donner lake is an underrated gem of Tahoe. This property is very well located and multiple watersport rental’s literally next door. Clear instructions and the host of this property was great too. While rustic, the space is cozy and functional. Location can’t be beat with best ice cream in Tahoe across the street. Would recommend for sure.
