Ski-in/Ski-out vacation rentals in Donner Lake

The location was very convenient for a ski weekend. Tahoe Dave's is almost walkable for ski rentals; Diamond peak is 15min away and multiple other places within 30 minutes. There conveniently were some open spaces/lots right by the house that we used for a bit of sledding. It was walking distance to the lake (under half a mile). The place itself was clean, nice towels and bedding, well stocked and the washer & dryer was very convenient. The fireplace and space heater kept things comfortable. Make sure to flip the space heater to non timer mode, and don't set the heat super high or it will get quite warm in there. The sleeping setup worked fine for us (pair of adults and 2 kids). The pull out bed couch / mattress being less agreeable than the bed, but no real complaints from the kids. Was also animal friendly but no animal dirt. We brought our poodle, but I'm allergic to dogs generally. I had no allergies nor saw any dog hair at all. We'd be happy to stay there again!

Jill was a very accommodating host! Would definitely stay again! Definitely be careful for the driveway in the winter as it can be quite icey.

Wonderful stay. Everything was comfortable and clean.

Great location in Carnelian Bay overlooking the lake. Nice house with well stocked kitchen and amenities. Close to many Lake Tahoe destinations and host was very proactive in communication. Would recommend staying here and had a great time! Look forward to future trips.

Perfect location right across from the ski lift. Matched the description and pictures. Ally was responsive to any questions we had. Hot tub was perfect after skiing!

My family had so much fun visiting Ellen’s cabin - the house was great! Location was perfect, and the house had everything we needed. Ellen was super communicative and helpful throughout our stay. Would absolutely stay here again!

Not enough superlatives to describe this luxurious mountain retreat. Very well appointed. Amazing location. Great amenities. We are a family of 6 who had the best summer vacation here. Wish we had stayed 2 weeks. Can’t wait to come back for winter. I almost regret sharing this review because I want to keep this place to myself!

Very nice place in Olympic Valley. Amazing house with lots of space and bedrooms. Very close to the mountain with quick and efficient mountaineer shuttle to get to the mountain base and back each day.

This is our favorite place to stay in the wintertime at Tahoe Donner! It is walking distance to the downhill ski area which is a perfect place for kids learning to ski. The condo is comfortable, well-appointed and clean.

My family felt very comfortable in Suzanne's condo. There was plenty of room and the amenities were great. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could need. The beds were very comfortable. The best part of the stay was having Suzanne as a host. She was very quick to respond to our questions and gave exact directions to find the condo.

Comfortable place steps away from the stagecoach lift. Hosts responsive and helpful. Would recommend!

Our four-night stay at Laurie’s place at the Marriott Grand Residence Club was perfect for our family. The two-bedroom residence was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with a full kitchen, spacious living area, and comfortable beds—ideal for a relaxing getaway. The location is unbeatable, just steps from the Heavenly Gondola, restaurants, and shops, making everything easily accessible without needing a car. The heated pool, hot tubs, and common laundry added extra convenience, and the friendly staff ensured a seamless stay. For families seeking comfort, space, and top-notch convenience, this is an excellent choice. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful visit. The hotel, area and option to partake in many activities in Tahoe do not fail. Thank you for the wonderful visit!

Lori’s place is amazing and just like the photos. I would definitely stay again when visiting South Lake Tahoe.

It is truly a beautiful place . Made it a magical Xmas for us. Perfect setting and the home is gorgeous. It’s right next to the gondola and connected to the ritz . Easy access for everything :) Kate is awesome to work with :)

Host was very responsive and clear about instructions which helps because Palisades can be a bit chaotic. Location was excellent. Perfect for walking to lifts and rental services. Bathrooms were clean and stocked with enough towels for our stay. The only less than desirable thing was that the two queen bunks had a thin mattress that was a bit too firm and had a bit of an indent in the middle.

The condo and accommodations are lovely and cozy and had everything we needed. The view was spectacular!! The fireplace was cozy, the showers were great and the beds were very comfortable. We loved the ski out to Boulder Lift. And the bus service into/out of town was great.

Nice home - clean, and peaceful. Great shuttle service. Easy to get to and from the mountain with doorside pick up!

Scott’s place was super cozy and spacious to stay in. It’s great for a party of 6-8 guests wanting to enjoy NorthStar resort and the slopes. There’s an on-demand shuttle that picks you right in front of the cabin and will drop you to the Visitor Transit center where the lift access is- this was really convenient. The cabin has all the things you would need for making breakfast/dinner and have a comfy weekend stay. One of my friends decided to just stay in and read during the day- the views from glass windows are the best. The guest pass will let you access hot tub/gym/sauna in the rec-center. Scott was highly responsive and super accommodating upon requests for an early check-in and letting us park our cars on the premises for a few hours after check-out. Scott will make sure that you have checked-in smoothly and answer everything super-quick if you need anything in the house. Highly recommend the cabin if you want a Tahoe getaway and want to stay in the resort to be by the slopes.

This place is awesome! It is everything it was listed to be and more. It was clean, warm and well stocked. The kitchen is set up perfectly for cooking a nice meal on a snowy evening. The views are spectacular and the space is very comfortable. The hosts are fantastic and really strive to make the experience a good one. I hope to stay here again soon!

Shannon's space was a cozy stay for 5 adults and 3 kiddos. We came in during a heavy snow storm so I was worried that we would have trouble finding the cabin, but Shannon's instructions were clear so we had no problem. We unfortunately experienced a power outage on our first night, but Shannon was quick to respond and kept us constantly updated. She was an amazing communicator overall and any issues we had were quickly resolved. Highly recommend!

We had a great mom’s and kids ski weekend here. Proximity to Tahoe Donner Skiing was excellent. Comfy house, thoughtful details, well-stocked kitchen. And so many board games and toys for kids. Also, really great sledding right in the yard. We would definitely stay again!

The cabin was clean cozy and comfortable for our family of six. A beautiful location with a great view of the lake!

Our stay was absolutely perfect!! The cabin was spotless, beautifully decorated, and fully stocked with essentials. Our host was fantastic—responsive and helpful! If you’re looking for a lovely mountain retreat, this is the place! 10/10 recommend :)
