    Beaver Cove Lodge



    The Space:

    Lakefront Retreat on Donner Lake



    Bring the whole family to experience the beauty of Donner Lake at this stunning lakefront retreat. From vaulted redwood ceilings and walls of natural light to a spacious deck and private dock, this home is designed for relaxation inside and out. Nearly every room offers breathtaking views of the lake. Cozy evenings can be spent in the living area with a good book and a fire in the wood-burning brick fireplace (firewood not provided).



    In summer, gather on the deck or enjoy the private dock for swimming, fishing, boating, or simply dipping your toes in the water. After a day of adventure, unwind in the hot tub as the sun sets and the Sierra peaks fade to purple.



    In winter, the surrounding mountains transform into a snowy playground with world-class resorts nearby, including Sugar Bowl, Donner Ski Ranch, Tahoe-Donner, and Boreal. Year-round, Truckee’s charming downtown offers shopping, dining, and local nightlife just minutes away.

Crazy beautiful lake views

If you have a large group, you will not be disappointed with this property. Plenty of private, comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, plus a well stocked, roomy, fully functional kitchen. The dining area, decks, and dock overlook the lake; the views are breathtaking. It would be difficult to capture the expansive beauty in a photo. Lots of hiking trails, an ice cream shop, and a convenience store within easy driving distance. We (ten people) had a fabulous vacation.

Great view, rustic house.

We stayed here with three families. It was the perfect size for our reunion and the view was truly beautiful. The house itself needs some updating, some things are falling apart, and the furniture looks grimy and the appliances are old. That said, they have upgraded the pots and pans so there were plenty of them for our cooking needs. There was plenty of nice dinnerware and silverware for all of us to use. We didn't have any issues with the heating, the instructions from Vacasa were perfect. They still have not added window coverings to the downstairs twin bed bedroom or the third-floor top window so the light comes in early if you plan to sleep in! As in other reviews, the housecleaning wasn't great. It seemed rushed and definitely wasn't a deep clean. It was a holiday week so we just accepted it and cleaned ourselves a bit to ensure it was thorough. We found all of the towels in the washer and dryer and none in the bathrooms or kitchen. There were no bath mats in any of the bathrooms and no dish towels. There also wasn't any dishwasher detergent, backup paper towels, extra trash bags, or any good sponges for cleaning. We had to buy all of that ourselves. Overall, the good: the location was truly magical, the house was large, and had plenty of space for larger groups. The not-so-good: the cleaning and cleaning supplies were subpar and the house needs some serious updating for the price they charge compared to other cabins in the area.

Superb experience all around

Everything was immaculate - kitchen, bathrooms, carpets, furniture. It was so relaxing to be surrounded by a well kept home. The furniture in the photos is not the furniture in the living/dining room. They did a massive upgrade and the place looks really elegant, and inviting. The colors are neutral and the beauty of the table and benches is really high. The home looks better than the photos, which is rare, and it also is well built home. The outside does not do justice to the inside, which is strange. We were thrilled. seven of us stayed and had a tremendous time. Very spacious, and all as it should be. The one thing that was tricky is the hot tub cover seems to be broken. There is a metal arm on two sides to make it easier to take it off and put it back on. one side is no longer connected so it is a brute force effort. Maybe that can be fixed? Extremely fast wifi. in fact it worked better than streaming on the TV so we hooked up our laptop to watch netflix because it seemed to be buffering too much on the TV. Here is 10 stars for Vacasa. Easter Sunday I had to get into the bear box and I could not figure out how. There is a key, and you need to apply pressure on both doors to move the key and the latch. I called Vacasa and they sent a wonderful person, Tyler, to come over and help-- in 15 minutes on Easter Sunday! wow! It far exceeded expectations in terms of service from a management company. I want to buy this house. I guess it is not for sale, sadly. We are winter Tahoe folks, but the summer must be lovely in this home.

Still great for large family

We liked the 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on 3 floors which allowed each family to have their own space and bathroom.

Incredible Views

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 generation family week at the Beaver Cove Lodge property. The views and the dock are exceptional. The hot tub and kayaks added to the fun vibe. We are rebooking for a return visit.

Amazing house on the lake!

This house had enough room for 3 generations of family. The dock is huge and accommodated all of our lake sport toys. The lake water was cold but the hot tub fixed that problem. The views out the window were amazing and it’s close enough to the beach to kayak or paddle board to.

A great week

As much as we loved the house, it was the people we spent the week with that made our trip. 72 years in a row my dad spent a week on Donner Lake during the summer. We’ve already reserved our stay for next summer.

Spectacular lake house

The house is so spacious and welcoming and the views of the lake are unparalleled. The deck off the living room is beautiful and the deck down at the water is a fabulous bonus. We’ve already booked a return visit.

Great Place - beautiful location. Roads are icy so make sure you have 4x4 in winter! Staff was helpful and got the hot tub running right away. Home has lots of thermostats so have fun figuring out which one is which ;)

Great adventure

Great house and property. Loved the place. The only suggestion is to get some pans appropriate for cooking for a group- only 2 very small pans and not enough forks. Otherwise, wonderful stay!

great location and view!

This home is the best location. Easy access and great views of Donner Lake. The room layout is perfect for a group of friends. The fireplace is awesome and easy to start. It's got a big table with great lighting for jigsaw puzzles or cards. The kitchen is fairly well stocked. Nice to have 3 full baths as well. Almost every room has a lake view.
