    OWN THE ADVENTURE | A FOUR-SEASON RETREAT ON DONNER SUMMIT A compelling new price makes this an exceptional opportunity to own the Donner Summit lifestyle. Set right on historic Donner Summit, this inviting mountain cabin offers the perfect combination of comfortable living, private outdoor space and access to an extraordinary year-round playground. Designed for easy mountain living, the cabin features a comfortable, functional layout with a light-filled great room, vaulted ceilings, large windows and a wood-burning stove that brings warmth and ambiance after a day in the mountains. Three bedrooms are located downstairs, including a private guest suite with its own bathroom and direct access to the back deck and expansive wooded backyard. Upstairs, a generous loft with a fireplace offers flexible space for gathering, relaxing or additional sleeping, while the primary suite features a private bathroom and balcony overlooking the backyard. Step outside and discover one of the property's standout features: a large, private backyard with direct access to neighborhood trails, plus a sunny front deck where mornings begin with coffee and evenings end beneath the alpine glow. A matching storage shed provides additional room for bikes, skis and mountain gear. The location is hard to beat. You're minutes from Sugar Bowl, Donner Lake and Van Norden Meadow, with the Pacific Crest Trail and miles of hiking, mountain biking and xc-ski trails nearby. Spend winter days skiing and snowboarding, summer afternoons at the lake, fall exploring the trails and spring discovering the Sierra as it awakens. Add rock climbing, fishing, kayaking and endless backcountry adventures, and it's easy to see why Donner Summit is a destination in its own right. Rich in history and surrounded by some of the Sierra Nevada's most spectacular landscapes, Donner Summit offers the rare combination of a true mountain community and year-round recreation—all within an easy drive of Truckee and the greater Tahoe region. Level parking pad, convenient year-round access, no HOA, and short-term rentals allowed. On almost 0.5 acres there is ample space to add a garage and ADU above. Whether you're looking for a personal mountain escape, a basecamp for four-season adventure, or a property with rental flexibility, this is your opportunity to own a piece of Donner Summit—where history, nature and adventure meet. A reduced price makes this mountain lifestyle an opportunity worth discovering.
