About This Property

Tucked among tall pines at the west end of Donner Lake, this classic mountain cabin offers 2,188 square feet including 3 bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a coveted one car garage on a level driveway. A wood stove anchors the main living area, and multiple living and sitting spaces give everyone room to spread out. The primary suite features an ensuite bath and a private balcony for morning coffee in the trees, while two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a lower-level lounge add flexible space for visiting friends and family. The kitchen flows to an inviting dining area that opens onto a back deck, ideal for summer barbecues and evenings outdoors. In-home laundry, a garage, and ample level driveway parking add everyday convenience. Owners have the option to join the Donner Lake Properties Owners Beach for access to its desirable private beach area, perfect for paddling and long summer afternoons on the water. Sugar Bowl, Palisades Tahoe, and historic downtown Truckee are all close at hand. Offered mostly furnished, this is an easy move-in for a full-time residence or mountain getaway.

MLS closed sales, with duplicate ingestions collapsed and lease records excluded, so each row is a distinct transaction. Rows marked county record come from the assessor's deed data, which reaches back further than the MLS feed; rows marked via a listing site fill the years the feed misses using that site's public sale record.
