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!
Mat, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The cozy room, the awesome location, the generous and delicious breakfast selection were all fantastic! We loved our one night stay and honestly felt like we got the most of it especially with its extremely close (1 minute) proximity to the lake/the beach area to relax and enjoy the gorgeous scenery that Truckee has to offer! The hosts were super kind, very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions we had too, which is very much appreciated! Great customer service! We will definitely be back again for sure!
Bridgette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

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

8/10 Very good

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.
Karen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good With Caveats

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.
