Our family had an excellent time staying at this beautiful property. The new pier was absolutely stunning and provided the perfect spot for sunbathing and evening sunsets. The views from the house were amazing from the two decks, and the location was perfect, close to donner memorial state park! Check-in and check-out was also very easy making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

This home was perfect for our family of 8. We celebrated my dads 85th birthday. The views were fantastic and it was great to have our own dock where we could go out and use our paddle boards whenever we wanted without having to drive somewhere.

Graduation Cabin

The cabin was beautiful. Everything worked great. We stayed here for my son's graduation at UNR and we traveled back and forth between Reno and the cabin easily (45 minutes). Somewhat surprised at the buckets of snow that fell as I thought I would be sitting down at the lake having a beer in the sun🌞. Still sooo pretty. Went on a nice hike to the Donner visitors center! Hope to come back some day and enjoy snow or sun👍
