About this property

Donner Creekside Cabin

Located in the highly desirable west shore of Donner Lake this quaint cabin has all of the charm Tahoe has to offer. Skiing at local resorts, shopping and dining in historic downtown Truckee, or hiking and biking on world class trails are all out your back door. Cozy up next to the fireplace or relax in the hot tub after a long day of adventures. Or just enjoy and play in the snow outside your front door. This one of a kind property backs up to 6 acres of undeveloped land with Donner Creek running through it. The cabin allows plenty of privacy while still being conveniently located within walking distance to a neighborhood cafe. It is truly a special place!

Cosy cabin in a great location
We really enjoyed our time in the cabin and we hope to come back for a longer stay later this year. The cabin was a perfect size for us and was filled with sunlight through all the windows. The location is fantastic in a quiet neighborhood and right next to a beautiful creek. It was very clean and had pretty much everything you would need to cook a meal.

Wonderful family cabin
This was a perfect winter cabin for our family of four. There is a bathroom and shower on both levels, washer and dryer, and enough pots and pans to prepare simple meals. Plenty of towels, kitchen and bath tissues. Large outdoor deck and nice views from every window. Wifi is fine for work and streaming. Host is very responsive over text. Neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. DSR and Sugar Bowl are less than 15 minutes away. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to visiting again.

Charming Cabin in a Great Location
This is such a sweet and comfortable cabin. We loved how it was nestled in the trees and you could hear the creek rushing by. It's an easy walk to Donner Lake and 15 minute drive to Sugar Bowl. Worked perfectly for our family of 4. Britta was very kind and communicative.

This cabin by the lake was perfection. Great location, cozy atmosphere and beautiful views from the deck. The hall closet had a variety of toys/games that came in handy. Britta was very friendly and easy to get in touch with when we had questions. I hope to come back and visit.

The Cabin was everything VRBO had listed, and the owners were always available for any questions we had. A super quiet neighborhood less than a half mile from Donner Lake with hiking trails all around. Couldn’t have enjoyed a better weekend anywhere else. Can’t wait to come back!

This was a great cabin retreat in Donner. We enjoyed all the amenities and location - morning hikes and exploring, meals at many of the great restaurants nearby, hot tub soaks, card and board games, movies on Netflix. We got married on Donner Lake and this was the perfect cabin for us!

A+ for family getaway
Wonderful place for a family with young kids. By the boulders and the creekside, probably the best lot in a lovely, easily accessible little neighborhood. Clean, well-stocked home, with a blazing wood stove! And the hot tub! Not fancy or fussy, but if that's not a requirement, just perfect. We wished we stayed longer.

Excellent Winter Family Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin. It is located on a nice piece of property that borders a small creek, with plenty of places to explore, and nice sledding runs (sleds included). Hot tub was a hit, and was a great way to unwind after a full day of playing in the snow. Indoors there was plenty of fun to be had, the owners have a nice selection of board games, an acoustic guitar, and even a visitor journal where you can describe your stay, and read about other visitor's experiences. The owners were very responsive and gave plenty of information about various features of the cabin. This cabin is great in the winter, but I think it would be just as fun in the summer. We will definitely be back!
