About This Property

Welcome to 15876 Cottonwood, a charming three bedroom, one bathroom cabin nestled on the peaceful back streets of Donner Lake. This cozy and fully original retreat captures the true character and soul of classic Donner Lake cabin living, untouched and full of authenticity. A freestanding gas fireplace anchors the living space, making it easy to take the chill off after a day on the slopes or the lake. The main floor offers a comfortable layout with the living room, one bedroom, and full bathroom all on one level, and two additional bedrooms tucked upstairs. Out back, a lovely deck surrounded by mature trees provides a serene and private outdoor escape, and two storage sheds give you plenty of room for all your mountain gear. The lot also offers wonderful potential for expansion, giving a future owner the opportunity to grow into the property over time. A small private driveway, calm surroundings, and an unbeatable location on the quiet back streets of Donner Lake make this an ideal getaway or starter cabin at the lake. The private homeowners beach as well as the public beach are both nearby, putting the best of Donner Lake right at your doorstep. Opportunities like this one do not come along often.
