About This Property

Set beneath the Donner Lake pines, this charming cabin feels as though it has stepped straight from the pages of a storybook. A short stroll away from the West End & DLPOA Beach, filled with character and thoughtfully updated, it is one of those rare homes you fall in love with instantly. Every detail has been considered with care in this open-concept, 3-Bedrooms, 2-Bathroom cabin. Brick and stone accents lend an old-Tahoe warmth, while the interiors feel spacious, bright and beautifully well-appointed. The upgrades include built-in shelves, a remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances and LVP floors throughout. There is room for everyone, with ample parking and spaces suited for outdoor entertaining, slow mornings, and long conversations after a day at the lake. This is a proper mountain retreat in every sense of the word! Whether serving as a cherished family escape or a profitable lakeside investment with outstanding rental history, this Donner Lake cabin offers a rare opportunity to own something truly special. Heritage homes like this don't come to the market often.
