Clare, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our stay was short but we enjoyed it very much. Extremely prime location especially for young families, clean, tidy and useful amenities. Tesla charging station is a plus. We would stay there again.
Jad, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The area was quiet and calm, the room was small but not a surprise we saw the pictures. It’s very much like a mini cabin and we enjoyed the jacuzzi. The beds were very comfortable and clean.

Donner Lake Inn in April

The Donner Lake Inn is a quiet inn that is geared for eco-friendliness. The room was clean and the inn is located close to Truckee and parks.

Peaceful, great service and excellent breakfast

Excellent stay at Donner Lake Inn. Peaceful and beautiful location next to the river, responsive service and an excellent breakfast. Definitely will be back!

Great breakfast including delicious breakfast burrito. Quiet room and convenient for families.
Slavomir, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very small but cozy room. The carpet could have been cleaner. When I came for breakfast, there were only two dry pastries with cheese and ham — I’m not sure where the “great breakfast” that others mentioned was. After we checked out, I asked the owner if we had left anything behind in the room, but she never responded. Of course, she’s not obligated to reply, but a simple “nothing was found” would have been appreciated — just to leave with peace of mind. On the bright side, they kindly allowed us to check in earlier — big thank you for that! Also, the location is very convenient

10/10 Excellent

Text message check in was the easiest thing in the world, just pulled up and lodge door was 5 feet from the car. Clean and warm inside, couldn't ask for more for a quick night stay.
Adam, 1-night trip

The Inn is great, the hosts are warm and friendly and the breakfast is delicious. Totally recommended.
Silvana, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was perfect for our family for two nights. Everything we expected was in place, our hosts were responsive when we reached out. Short walk to the lake, short drive to the ski slopes and tubing hills. Exactly what we needed.

Very Convenient if you're Skiing on Donnor Summit

This is a beautiful little place. We stayed in a room with one queen bed and a bunk bed with three beds. Had two boys with us for a snowboard event at Boreal, which is a seven-minute drive, allowing us to drive them to the event at 8 am, come back to the hotel, shower, eat their nice breakfast, and head back up at checkout at 10 am.
Joseph, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our hosts Nina & Jim were warm and welcoming. The Inn is a picture perfect mountain retreat. Our room was wonderfully appointed, a great Franklin stove, super comfortable bed, very cozy. The breakfast was healthy- the overnight oats - Yummy, homemade banana bread - outstanding, high tech coffee machine to more than satisfy the coffee aficionado and the hot chocolate - Lucious. If you’re going to Donner Lake, your first choice should be the Donner Lake Inn…!!

10/10 Excellent

The shower head is tall so that difficult for short kids, it would be great to change to one with handheld.
Tianhan, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Pro: Studio room w Bunk bed works great for a family with 1-2 kids Good driving distance to ski resorts in North Lake Tahoe; Across the street from Donner lake so should be good for summer time too. Grab-to-go breakfast is with fresh pastries and hot egg burritos 48-hr cancellation term works great for families with smaller children (think about a time when kids get sick and you have to cancel the trip) Cons Super tiny shower space. Seriously the smallest I had ever used. The shower head position doesn’t work well for small kids. They would be forced to have a shampoo every day hahah. Better to have a removable shower head. Good that the toilet and sink are separated though. Not enough dining options within 5mins driving Wish list: To include milk in breakfast options. There’s good variety of coffee but having milk would be good for kids Open up the breakfast place during the day (or evening) for access to hot water.
