Located in the highly desirable west shore of Donner Lake this quaint cabin has all of the charm Tahoe has to offer. Skiing at local resorts, shopping and dining in historic downtown Truckee, or hiking and biking on world class trails are all out your back door. Cozy up next to the fireplace or relax in the hot tub after a long day of adventures. Or just enjoy and play in the snow outside your front door. This one of a kind property backs up to 6 acres of undeveloped land with Donner Creek running through it. The cabin allows plenty of privacy while still being conveniently located within walking distance to a neighborhood cafe. It is truly a special place!

Perfect place for a quick weekend away with my daughters. The cabin is very sweet and cozy, plenty of games, puzzles, legos to keep the kids entertained on a snowy day. Fun backyard to play in the snow and super close to Donner ski ranch and Truckee. We will definitely be back for another stay. Maybe next time in the summer
This was our 2nd time staying at this amazing property. Britta was a fantastic host once again with exceptional communication. The cabin had everything we needed and more. The location along Donner creek is peaceful and serene. Being able to sit in the hottub after a full day on the slopes is a real plus. We will stay here again for sure!

Great accommodations! Cozy and Clean! Communication with host was great!
Lovely neighborhood and cabin thoughtfully stocked and decorated. It was fantastic to use the hot tub under the stars and surrounded by snow. Great location close to skiing, the lake, and Truckee.
Loved the cabin, sweetly decorated, all that you’d need and PERFECT location to lake and ski. Responsive host, can’t wait to go back! (Perfect for a small family, kids loved the easy access to sledding in the back yard)
What a special property on the creek. We will be back again for sure. The location is great, the cabin is well-appointed and clean. We had an absolutely perfect stay and Britta was fantastic.
We really enjoyed our time in the cabin and we hope to come back for a longer stay later this year. The cabin was a perfect size for us and was filled with sunlight through all the windows. The location is fantastic in a quiet neighborhood and right next to a beautiful creek. It was very clean and had pretty much everything you would need to cook a meal.
We enjoyed our stay at this house. It is right next to a creek. We liked spending time in the. hot tub and spending time on the deck. We would love to come back.
Wonderful place for a week of combined work and play. The house had everything we needed. Loved the forest views, hot tub, and wood fire. And many nice, personal touches including comfy beds. We can't wait to return.
The Cabin was everything VRBO had listed, and the owners were always available for any questions we had. A super quiet neighborhood less than a half mile from Donner Lake with hiking trails all around. Couldn’t have enjoyed a better weekend anywhere else. Can’t wait to come back!
This cabin by the lake was perfection. Great location, cozy atmosphere and beautiful views from the deck. The hall closet had a variety of toys/games that came in handy. Britta was very friendly and easy to get in touch with when we had questions. I hope to come back and visit.
