OPEN HOUSE: Saturday August 22nd, 12-2pm. Tucked among the pines just a block from Donner Lake, this charming remodeled cabin is the mountain getaway you've been waiting for. The bright, welcoming interior features a cozy living room, a light-filled kitchen, and a loft-style bedroom that makes the most of every square foot—with filtered lake views from both the bedroom and kitchen. Unwind after a day on the slopes in your own private traditional Harvia KIP wifi-controlled sauna. The property offers two versatile sheds: a finished "shedroom" complete with a comfortable bed for overflow guests, plus a separate toys-and-tools shed for storing skis, bikes, kayaks, and all your mountain gear. Step outside to a true four-season playground—hiking, biking, kayaking, and climbing in the warmer months, world-class skiing at nearby resorts all winter, and lazy afternoons on Donner Lake's public docks year-round. Centrally located with easy access to historic Downtown Truckee, dining, and I-80, this is a rare opportunity to own a slice of Tahoe-Donner recreation paradise. Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat, a full-time basecamp, or an investment getaway, this little gem delivers.

Donner Lake, located between Donner Pass Road and Interstate 80, is a lakeside and mountain Truckee neighborhood with a public beach and a pine-lined shoreline. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Donner Memorial State Park and the adjacent lakeside pullouts, where picnic tables, trailheads, and boat traffic set the tempo. Cabin-style homes and low-slung lake houses mix with newer builds, many oriented toward water views and winter snowpack. West End Beach anchors warm-weather lake days, while the Donner Lake Rim Trail frames the edge with steady climbs and forest shade. Donner Memorial State Park adds museum-grade local history alongside campgrounds and shoreline paths. Donner Ski Ranch and Tahoe Donner Cross Country bring a winter rhythm close to the lake.
