My husband and I stayed one night passing through Truckee to get to the Bay Area. The room was cozy and very comfortable. The property is walking distance to the Pub at Donner Lake, and right across from the Little Truckee Ice Creamery (incredible ice cream). It was a great place to get a few hours rest.

The towels were musty smelling and I needed a shower when I got home! The room was much smaller than it appeared in the photos. The hosts were nice and responded to our needs in a timely manner.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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…!!
