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!

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.

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.

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

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.
