From the moment we arrived at the Donner Lake Inn, we felt comfortable. We chose the Bembridge Room because, as promised we could hear the gurgling brook outside and the sun came softly through the window in the morning. The plush terrycloth robes to put on after a swim in the lake were a nice touch too. Mary and Tino... more

I stayed here recently on one of the worst snowy weekends in Tahoe! We struggled to find them at first due to our Sat Nav leading us the wrong way but Mary was very helpful and we soon found our way despite the awful conditions. We skied at Sugar Bowl and Northstar which were both easy to reach, and we... more

This was our 2nd stay at Donner Lake Inn. When I emailed Mary to make this reservation, she remember us and that was such a nice feeling. We have a 6 year son who remembered the fun games and how nice Mary was. I remember the pancakes from scratch and the comfortable and clean room. This is the perfect place... more

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Donner Lake Inn. We wanted to get away from the Bay Area for some snow fun and celebrate my birthday. Our room was very comfortable and our host's were very helpful. The bathroom had plenty of really hot water but only a shower, no tub, this was the only down side to... more

Charming, insightful and kind are these great B&B hosts. I love this place! My family of 4 has stayed here during the winter for the last 3 years. The breakfasts are fabulous with more than you can eat of homemade pancakes and frittata, fresh fruits, juice, and coffee is awaiting, there is always something special to start the day. Later... more

I stayed at the Donner Lake Inn for a mid-week ski get away and skied at Sugar Bowl which is 3.5 miles away, and I could have skied at any of the North Shore ski areas which are nearby. The Inn is perfect in every way from the supremely comfortable rooms with gas fireplace heaters to the great room on... more

Staying with Mary and Tino made our family ski trip a breeze! They serve a wonderful breakfast with everything fresh and made from scratch ( I could barely drag my husband away to go ski). They are so patient with my kids, and make sure they always have everything they need. Mary even reserved a little sippy cup she had... more

The Donner Lake Inn is a great place to stay at the holidays. We came that long way from Germany to stay five days at the Donner Lake Inn. We had the best american breakfast and enjoyed meeting Mary, Tino and their friends. The rooms are very nice and clean, especially the fireplace you can sit in front of, after... more

A terrific value and lovely inn. Mary and Tino are very nice people, able to put a room full of strangers at ease around the breakfast table. Mary is a divine cook, and the wooded setting of the property is very pretty. The very strong points: a. They let us pay via PayPal, very convenient! b. Half the cost of... more
