We could only stay for one night. Paul and Mindy made us very welcome and helped us plan our visit to Tahoe the next day. The breakfast was delicious -- and specially made gluten free for us. Donner Lake Inn is a great location and would be our first choice for our next visit.

We are pleased to have been able to share our hospitality with you even for a brief stay, and that we were able to provide a hearty breakfast and a scenic route for you to follow upon departing. One of our greatest rewards is knowing that guests want to return and in fact over a quarter of our stays are return guests.

We were looking for an affordable place to stay near enough to Lake Tahoe so that we could take a day trip there to drive around the lake. This property met those criteria. Paul and Mindy were very hospitable. They served wine or another beverage in the late afternoon with a snack and stayed to converse with us. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Mindy talked of how she accommodated her quests with special dietary needs and shared a gluten free bread recipe with us. The Inn is right across the road from a shop which makes great home-made ice cream. The rooms are clean, comfy and provide all the basic amenities. We did make the drive around Lake Tahoe but were very glad to get back to the quiet peacefulness of Truckee.

Thank you for your review. We are always happy when we have guests who appreciate the beauty and peace of Truckee, yet the close proximity to Lake Tahoe and other more active areas. We are glad you enjoyed the recipe. Please check our newsletters, as we often include our recipes.

I grew up in the Donner Lake area and wanted to stay as close the West End for the 4th of July fireworks when we took our family vacation this summer. The Donner Lake Inn turned out to be the perfect place! We were walking distance to the docks, the beach...and the new ice cream place across the way! We loved our own private entrance, everything was clean and updated- and of course the WIFI was appreciated! Paul and Mindy were warm and friendly, very accommodating and made fantastic breakfasts for us each morning. They even took the time to wrap and send me some fresh poppy seed bread they had made on the 4th of July, when I had headed out early to snag a dock! So thoughtful- they really were great, like staying with friends, and we plan to return to see them again soon!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciate that you were able to share memories from your youth with your family. We really enjoyed the time talking and visiting with all of you. We are glad we were able to meet and exceed your expectations, and that you were able to get a dock to spend the day on the lake before the annual fireworks display. Our goal is for folks to come as guests and leave as family!!!
Thank you again for the great review & recommendation.
Until next time,
Best wishes and safe travels,
Paul & Mindy

Stayed at Donner Lake Inn due to some work in our cabin down the way and the owners are delightful as is the whole experience at their BnB. Paul and Mindy have done a beautiful job making this place their own with their own personality. They are just lovely gracious hosts and the place is quaint, quiet, comfy, and just perfect for staying at the lake if one needs accommodations. The wine and yummy evening snack was so nice as I chatted with other guests. This then continued in the morning as I sat for their homemade delicious breakfast and chatted with other overnight guests. I was sorry to leave but had to get to my cabin for the workers. This is definitely a place to add to your BnB stay list, a must stay. Paul and Mindy are just ever so welcoming. All in all, A+ for a wonderful experience!

Room tip: I stayed in the Bear's Lair and it was perfect with the faint stream sounds outside my window for a lovely night's sleep.

Thank you for your TripAdvisor Review. This was special to us as you are a "Local". These serve as a guide for us. We are happy that you enjoyed your experience with us and at the BnB. As we tell most guests, one of the most enjoying things for us is meeting people and watching their interactions with the other guests that they meet, a true part of the BnB experience. As hosts, we try to assure every guest has a great stay & we were glad to be here for you while the work was being done on your cabin. Thanks again for the great review.
