A-Frame Retreat near Donner Lake
Brigadoon Cabin is a charming getaway just a short walk from West End Beach at Donner Lake. Surrounded by skiing, hiking, and other activities, it offers year-round adventure and relaxation along with shopping and dining in nearby downtown Truckee. Designed with upscale finishes while retaining its unique character, Brigadoon Cabin is dog-friendly and includes a private one-bedroom apartment, a spacious den ideal for movie and game nights, and a backyard that opens to Donner Memorial State Park.

- Full kitchen
- Sitting area with a queen-size sleeper sofa, TV, desk, and chair
- Bedroom with a queen-size bed

The third level is a den with comfy seating, a TV, and a game table. Also on this level:

Some things to note:
There are five different levels throughout the cabin and the first living space is up a full flight of stairs. Due to the number of stairs, this cabin is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or very young children unless closely supervised.
The property includes one parking space in the garage and two spaces in the driveway. Street parking is not allowed year-round for rentals in this area and may result in towing and/or fines.
Severe weather is a possibility in the winter. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect against unexpected events. Chains or 4WD/AWD vehicles with snow tires may also be required during winter months.
Up to two dogs are welcome with a $100 pet fee per stay.
