About this cabin rental

Welcome to Donner Delight!

Please note: The driveway is an uphill slope, and a 4WD vehicle with snow tires is required for access during storms. The ground-floor bedroom does not have a direct central air-heating vent, so a space heater is provided.

Make this retro ski home on Donner Lake your winter base. Enter through the ground-floor man door into the oversized garage, which is not for vehicle use but is perfect for storing your ski gear, with a full-size washer and dryer. Just inside, the ground floor primary suite has queen-size comforts, Donner Lake views, retro ski decor, an en suite bath with a stand-up shower, and folded and hanging storage for clothing.

Upstairs, the great room has gorgeous Donner Lake views throughout. Warm up by the wood stove with its rock hearth, stream a movie on the flat-screen TV or play a Blu-ray, or settle in with the games and books. The dining table seats 8, with a breakfast bar for 2 more, and the sliding glass door opens to a balcony with a view. The galley kitchen is compact and efficient, with a gas range, Corian countertops, and everything you need to make a hearty après-ski family meal.

This floor also has two more bedrooms: one with king-size comforts, Donner Lake views, and a flat-screen TV with streaming, and a third with two sets of twin bunks, perfect for kids or teens. They share a full bathroom with a single-sink vanity and a stand-up shower.

Heat: The ground floor bedroom does not have a direct central air heat vent. A space heater is provided.
Parking: 3 vehicles maximum. The garage is not for vehicle use.

Mountain living: Living in the mountains and staying in a private home means there are some things we cannot control. For example, weather and harsh conditions have knocked out Wi-Fi and the power before. While these instances are rare, we ask for your patience. We will try to accommodate all requests and handle situations like this (power outages, appliances breaking, etc.) on a case-by-case basis.
