Permit #: 001634
Occupancy: 6

Come to Truckee and stay in this cozy cabin-style home on the lake and revel in easy access to year-round outdoor activities. Even the family dog is welcome to come along and enjoy the fun.

Your ideal location right on the shores of beautiful Donner Lake means you can step outside whenever you like and partake in activities like fishing, swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. Or just lounge on a public dock and soak up the warm sunshine. Hike the surrounding trails, then make the five-mile trek to town to browse shops or grab a bite to eat. In the winter, head to Sugar Bowl, just five miles away, for powdery fun on the slopes. Or head to Northstar, Squaw Valley, and Alpine Meadows, all within 14 miles.

During winter months, the stairs from parking to walkway can be slippery and covered in snow. There is an incline from the parking area to the cabin, so please use caution.

This home's interior is warm and inviting with wood plank walls and ceilings that rise to a loft, giving the open concept living area a spacious feel. Plentiful windows brighten up the space, and the deck just off the living room provides the ideal spot for relaxing and taking in gorgeous views of the lake and mountains in the distance. You'll have free WiFi to stay in touch with friends and family, and the well-equipped kitchen offers lots of counter space so the cooks in your group can spread out and create tasty snacks and meals.

Make this comfortable, Old Tahoe cabin your home base and set yourself up for a peaceful, stress-free Truckee vacation. Reserve it today!

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.

This place is all about location location location. If you’re looking for a nice cabin getaway on the lake, look elsewhere. The back porch is the best part of this house. The view is amazing. There is a public dock right across the street too. The lighting in the house needs a little work as the only lights in the bedrooms are above the headboard. There is a shortage of outlets as well. And the beds are not comfortable. The house has one tiny shower. And a tiny living room TV. The kitchen is nice with everything you need and a beautiful view of the lake. The parking instructions are not good. The parking is on the street BEHIND the house. Not the street near the lake. We discovered that at 11:30 pm while reading instructions next to the door. The property management is very responsive and seemed to be 12/7?We did not use the loft area upstairs but, the bed and lighting up there looked to be the best bedroom. The second bathroom is up there. Our fur pup is 15 and couldn’t make it up the stairs or we would have tried it as our bedroom to stay in. Make sure to try “drink coffee and do stuff” while you are there. They have the BEST bagels in town! For coffee visit “wild cherries coffee”
