This place is great for you if you want:
-a luxury hotel-like atmosphere
-more space and privacy than a high-end, multi-room, resort suite at a significantly less expense
-a choice of all of the local outdoor activities and, in the winter, your choice of ski resorts, instead of being relegated to the one where your hotel is located.
-letting the kids eat dinner in- dressed in their PJs
-drinking your own wine and lounging around in comfortable clothes with family and friends
-You want to be lakeside during the summer months. No luxury hotels exist on Donner Lake.
-evening dinners lakeside while the kids continue to play or fish as the sun sets.
-to avoid the extra expenses such as the daily resort fees, tips, and countless meals, beverages and snacks out.
