About this property

Donner Lake Delight – Truckee Retreat

  • Summary:

    Nestled in the heart of the Sierra Nevada, Donner Lake Delight places you just moments from the sparkling shoreline of Donner Lake and the charm of downtown Truckee. Spend your days kayaking, paddleboarding, or unwinding by the water, then head into town to explore local shops, breweries, and inviting mountain dining. In winter, world-class skiing awaits at nearby resorts like Northstar California Resort, making this the ideal four-season escape for outdoor enthusiasts and cozy weekend getaways alike.



    The Space:

    Step inside to a warm, inviting interior designed for comfort and connection. The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances and everything you need to feel at home, perfect for preparing a hearty breakfast before a day on the slopes or a relaxed dinner after time by the lake. Start your mornings with coffee from the Ninja or Keurig as natural light fills the space.



    The dining table for six serves as a central gathering place for meals, board games, or mapping out the day’s adventures. Just beyond, the living room welcomes you with a spacious sectional sofa, a cozy fireplace, and a smart TV for relaxing evenings in. A lift-top coffee table adds versatility, easily transforming into a dining surface or workspace ideal for remote work with a mountain backdrop. Sliding glass doors open to the balcony, blending indoor comfort with fresh alpine air and peaceful surroundings.



    At Donner Lake Delight, every detail is thoughtfully designed to make you feel at home while keeping you close to lake days, ski runs, and the natural beauty of Truckee.
