The Inn at Truckee

8/10 Good

"In a quiet area. Clean, and small and cozy. Room did have a mild odor from either the wall ac/heater or maybe pets. Close for Uber."

Tahoe Ski Lodge WiFi, hot-tub sleeps 12

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful family gathering of three generations at this home. The open layout, comfy living space, and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our needs. The location near Truckee and Donner Lake were exactly what we were hoping for and the access to the local recreation clubs were a huge contribution to our enjoyment (my 7 year old granddaughter was in water every day and loved each option!).We had a couple needs while there and the management handled them well and quickly. Using the home was easy and everything was explained well. It was clean and well-maintained, even the grill was in great shape.We had a few notes on specifics - there’s no air conditioning, which made the upper floor bedrooms really warm in the heat wave we happened to visit during. The kids’ room needed clothing storage of some kind and we got some splinters from the deck. And the deck was the only way to enjoy the property from outside, especially for little kids.Overall, we’re very happy we visited!"

Lakefront Cabin with private pier on Donner Lake

10/10 Excellent

"A warm home with an incredible view. We felt like we were at summer camp and were sad to have our stay end. Beds are super comfortable, kitchen well appointed, and the dock and decks are perfect for relaxing. Would definitely stay again. One caveat, stairs down to the house are a workout, pack accordingly. Thank you, this place was just what we needed."

Coyote Moon by AvantStay | Cabin W/Sauna | Mins from DT Truckee & NorthStar

8/10 Good

"My family enjoyed our summer stay at this property. The kitchen is really well appointed for someone who likes to cook, the movie room was a huge hit with the kiddo, and everything was comfortable. Wifi is spotty, but we learned it is like that across Tahoe Donner. Not listed is the fact that they do have a lot of tower fans which came in handy when it was warm out. Location is great too -- close to Tahoe Donner community, quick access to downtown Truckee and Donner Lake."
