About This Property

Welcome to this storybook cabin just minutes from Donner Lake! Just as cute as can be inside. Featuring warm wood flooring, woodstove, and pine accents throughout for a true rustic cabin feel, and delightfully decorated like something out of your best summer memories. One bedroom and one bath on main floor, with sleeping loft above that can hold many. Lovingly maintained by its longtime owners, it is ready for new owners to enjoy summers at the lake and winters watching the snow fall. An expansive back deck is perfect for relaxing or entertaining with views of Schallenberger Ridge, and it makes for true indoor/outdoor living. A convenient nearly level driveway makes year-round access a breeze. Easy walking distance to the lake and the July 4th fireworks, or paddleboarding and kayaking. Three sheds on the property - one to the west side of the home, one on the deck, and a large one in the backyard.
