Donner Lake Realty, Inc.
Summer & Winter Rental Information

------ Donner Lake Realty
was established at this location in 1973, by Carson
White. This building had been a
"Model Home" for the Pan-A-Bode Log Home company, of Oregon. The
Owner of that franchise had developed a small subdivision (Summit Creek
Meadows), here at the West End of Donner Lake. These log home kits
were very popular in those days and you will recognize many of these homes
in the Truckee-Donner Lake area. This building, at the corner of
South Shore Drive and Old Highway Drive, "houses" the RENTAL Office and
Corporate Headquarters of Donner Lake Realty, Inc.
Donner Lake Realty
is the oldest, full-time, full service real estate
company at Donner Lake and most of Truckee. We handle over 100 "Vacation
Rentals" throughout the year, 50 "Ski Leases" and approximately 20 "full-time"
leases from time-to-time.
We are now accepting "Tentative Reservations"* for the Summers of 2008 through 2010
Donner Lake is a wonderful recreation area with an unlimited supply of summer fun. Fishing, water skiing, swimming and sun bathing are just some of the things to do at Donner Lake. The Public West End Beach (TRPD) offers tennis, basketball, volleyball, horseshoe pits, a children's playground, full time lifeguards, and a snack bar, as well as BBQs, grass areas and paddle boat rentals. All this for just $3.00 per day per adult and $2.00 (2008 prices) per child under 12. Some rental units also allow entrance to the Homeowners Private Beach, which offers many of the same amenities; those fees are $5.00/day/adult, $3.00 per day, per child 12 years and under -- other Restrictions: Renters must remove boat trailers after launch and NO RENTERS will be allowed at their beach June 28-July 6, nor August 30 - September 7, 2008. Most Golf Courses are public (except Lahanton and Gray's Crossing); their green fees may be obtained by calling them directly -- a list is in each Unit's "Welcome Binder". Also within the Truckee area you'll be able to enjoy dining, hiking, horseback riding, rock climbing, bicycle riding and shopping.
Our unit Check-in/Check-out days are Fridays (FR), Saturdays (SA), Sundays (SU), Mondays (MO) and Floating (FL) as noted on each unit's listing. These days are indicated on the Rental Summary List. Those units with a Floating (FL) check-in/out day are available for less than a week, offering a discount for full week stays. Check-IN time for ALL units is between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM, and check-OUT time is by 10:00 AM. Because almost all units have back-to-back Reservations, we must insist that you follow these check-in/check-out times (winter and "off-season" times can be adjusted with our Staff). Click here for Trip Insurance information.
Most units are fully equipped; however, they DO NOT come with sheets, towels, pillow cases, nor dish towels. Also, please note that NO PETS ARE ALLOWED at the rental units, unless otherwise indicated and CONFIRMED when making your Reservation. Maximum occupancy may include sofa beds not in bedrooms and visitors are limited to the maximum occupancy listed. Parking is also limited to the number of vehicles indicated (normal-sized; "vehicles" also INCLUDES boat trailers, which are usually LARGER than most vehicles and can NOT BE PARKED on streets) and may be less than indicated during Winter months. Rent, Tax and Cleaning Fees are due five (5) weeks before check-in; eight (8) weeks for lake FRONT units. NOTE: when looking at the number of Baths a unit has, you may see ".75" or "3/4"; this is to let you know that there is a sink, toilet and EITHER a bathtub OR shower -- not both.
Some of the activities planned around the lake each summer include the 4th of July Parade and F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S, Triathlon, Donner Lake Swim (AUGUST ?, 2008), Truckee Rodeo, and the Cannibal Cruise. We look forward to helping you with your needs. Donner Lake Realty is open seven days a week to serve you (major holidays excepted).

Local telephone calls are Free; long distance calls may be restricted - - NO collect calls. Bringing your computer?

The Truckee-Donner Recreation and Parks District (TRPD) operates the public boat ramp at the north-west end of the lake, on Donner Pass Road. Fees are charged for its use and for parking in their lot. Also, to make use of the boat ramps, current boat registration must be presented. For approximately 1.5 miles to the east of the boat ramp, and another short section at the east end of the lake, TRPD maintains boat docks which are open and free to the public on a first-come, first-served basis; piers are for day-use-only; over-night moring is discouraged -- NOTE: tying up to a pier does NOT reserve the boat dock for your sole use -- it is still a public pier. No overnight vehicle parking is allowed in these areas without a special permit - - call the Town of Truckee: (530) 582-7720 for more information. Downtown Truckee now has Pay Parking (10 a.m. - 6 p.m.).
The Donner Memorial State Park, at the east end of Donner Lake, has a museum, beach and camping facilities, for a fee.
The Town of Truckee has passed Ordinances which regulate the use of power boats, personal watercraft and offshore swimming on Donner Lake. We urge you to familiarize yourself with the boating regulations (a copy is included in each unit's "Information Binder"), if you plan to bring a jet ski or power boat. Be aware, use the Lake with care. {Note: "jet skis" and 2-cycle engines are still allowed but could be banned on Donner Lake; contact the Town of Truckee for the latest information: phone: (530) 582-7700}.

Check the current issue of the free North Tahoe Truckee this Week magazine (which we provide you at Check-In) for dining suggestions, prevailing operating times and fees of facilities available to the public within our area.
The Truckee Shuttle adds convenience to travel within the Truckee area. It runs from downtown's Commercial Row to Donner Lake's West End Beach. You can also connect with the Tahoe Area Regional Transit (TART), which travels between Truckee and Tahoe City, and Northstar-At-Tahoe Shuttle, which also stops at the Truckee-Tahoe Airport. Schedules available upon check-in; a current schedule is also included in your unit's binder. The North Lake Tahoe EXPRESS runs to/from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. During winter, a shuttle is also available to Sugar Bowl & Donner Ski Ranch (when the old Donner Pass Road is OPEN).

*"Tentative
Reservations" (TR) are those Reservations
made by Guests to give the Owners an indication of the demand for
their unit; a TR can ONLY be "bumped" by the Owner of the unit. A
$100 Deposit is required to secure a TR and is refundable once we are able
to confirm those dates and have informed you what the rental charges will
be during those dates. Click here
for a list of Units which rent for less than a week during summer.
You must be at least 25 years old to rent
any
of our units.
CANCELLATION POLICY: There
is a $25 Service Charge for any cancellation
made after your Deposit has been received by us. Cancellations
made after the "Full Payment Due Date" may result in forfeiture
of all RENT and TAX moneys, unless we are
able to re-rent your Unit during the same time period (shorter lengths
of stay will be pro-rated); however, you will still be charged the
$25
Service Charge.
NOTICE TO ALL Winter Guests: Neither Donner Lake Realty, nor the Owner of the unit you rent, can guarantee snow removal. Caltrans, County, Town and private snow removal contractors may not be able to keep all roads nor parking areas plowed at all times during significant snowfalls. Equipment breakdowns and shifting priorities may delay snow removal for extended periods of time. We, at Donner Lake Realty will make every effort to accommodate your needs; however, we can NOT work miracles and do NOT have an "inside track" of snow removal progress. Click HERE for "Winter Tips" from the Town of Truckee. ALWAYS carry chains AND a shovel -- even during Summer. Winter Driving TIPS
We look forward to your arrival. Please call if you have additional
questions.
