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.

The location was excellent, right next to Donner Lake and ice cream shop; easy access to everything else. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but the shower needs upgrading as water is slow to heat up, and the wifi extremely slow - even for just browsing websites.

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.

Thank you

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

A+

This is a great location with very friendly staff!

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.

What a great place to stay! If you like a clean, neat, quiet place to stay with a creek running outside your window, this is the place to stay!

Great breakfast

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.

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.

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.

Was very pleased with this cute little inn! Definitely will stay again

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.

Nice place to stay
