We stayed here while i was working in the area for a week. It was across the street from Donner lake and had several beach options within a few minutes drive from us. The backyard was a beautiful forest witht rails that our dog loved! We definitely will come back.

Perfect mountain get-away
Beautiful, spotless, great location (right by Donner Lake and a 10-12 minute drive to Sugar Bowl), well-stocked (they thought of pretty much everything), helpful welcome/guide binder and labelling so everything is easy to find and use, exceedingly attentive, warm, and accommodating host, great place to bring a pet. No complaints. My mom, our dog, and I had a wonderful weekend.

Great location, beautiful home!
This was our first time staying in Truckee/Donner Lake area and we will definitely be back. The studio was clean, well-equipped, and just big enough for the 4 of us. We loved the view and easy access to the trail. The host, Hazel was wonderful and made us feel right at home.
