Donner Lake Vacations
Donner Lake Village is a year-round resort retreat with lakefront studios and one-bedroom and two-bedroom units on the desirable West End of Donner Lake. These units feature a private beach, boat docks, and a few private boat slips. This is one of the only lakefront locations that offers a complete, unobstructed view of the entire length of Donner Lake! Each room is individually owned and decorated and has an iron and ironing board, hair dryer, coffee maker, room fan, and a flat-screened TV with Direct TV access. Most units have a kitchen or kitchenette, and units without a kitchenette will have a microwave and mini fridge. Most units have a Queen-sized bed, and some units have a King-sized bed. Please read the description for each unit when making your selection. Not all units are lakefront, but there is plenty of private beachfront access with chairs and lounge chairs. The private beach also offers an incredible front-row seat to the Donner Lake 4th of July fireworks! DLV has a shared barbecue and picnic table area and an on-site marina in the summer that offers a full selection of rentals, from kayaks and paddle boards to jet skis, ski boats, and pontoon boats. Donner Lake is a year-round playground! Boating, skiing, and fishing are the top draws, but spring flower watching and fall hiking/biking are not to be missed. Enjoy easy freeway access and a few-minute drive to Boreal and Sugar Bowl Ski Resorts in the winter. NorthStar and Squaw Valley are an easy 20-minute drive away. All you need from snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, snowmobiling, etc., are steps away. While historic downtown Truckee is a 12-minute drive from DLV, Lake Tahoe is only 19 miles away. Enjoy the best Donner Lake offers at this beautifully appointed and updated vacation rental! We look forward to welcoming you to Donner Lake Village!

We have stayed at this resort many times and absolutely love it! I made a reservation for the latter part of August and wanted to add a few nights. Unfortunately the unit I rented was not available for the additional nights so I called and Karen, the nicest woman over the phone, did everything she could to get me into a different and lakeview studio for the entire trip. She truly went above and beyond to ensure I got the room I wanted and didn't have to change rooms in the .issue of our stay. Thank you so much ,Karen!
Written by my 8-year old son: The dog picture in our room was funny and cute and the view was great and the beds are soft and comfortable. I think the snow was softer than other places.so I give the hotel 5 stars!
Tried booking on VRBO due to an unusually good deal (great cost). Called VRBO to make sure it was valid and not a scam. VRBO told me to contact the host. I called this host at least 5x before getting anyone, only to be told that the price was incorrect so I should cancel and rebook. When I asked to speak to the manager to try to resolve the issue, he denied responsibility and directed me back to VRBO. Further, he accused me of trying to take advantage of the wrong price. Accusing the customer is never a great idea, especially when she is doing due diligence on a reservation. I responded that I wasn’t asking for the listed price but what he could do to help me. Still, he refused to apologize or suggest a solution other than talk to VRBO. Fernando was very rude, and unhelpful. Now I’m waiting to see if he cancels my reservation. Don’t go here unless you want to support a business who really doesn’t care about your satisfaction as the paying customer.
We stayed in a super cool studio condo *134 bldg C* at Donner Lake Village and had a great experience. The location was perfect—right next to the parking lot and just steps from the beach. The condo had updated amenities, a very comfortable bed, and a nice TV with lots of channels. Everything was convenient and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this specific room and the whole experience at Donner Lake Village overall.
What a magnificent location for peace and relaxation. I have been there many different times during the year and cherish them all. In the summer there is the lake and in the winter the lovely snow. The staff is friendly and the manager Fernando really cares about the people staying there. Shirley was as pleasant as an anyone can be and high five to Karen in the front desk who helped me find restaurant and gave me other local tips.There is also saunas that I use often and the various common living rooms where you can be by the fire and watch the ducks on the lake. Highly recommend !
