Very Convenient if you're Skiing on Donnor Summit
This is a beautiful little place. We stayed in a room with one queen bed and a bunk bed with three beds. Had two boys with us for a snowboard event at Boreal, which is a seven-minute drive, allowing us to drive them to the event at 8 am, come back to the hotel, shower, eat their nice breakfast, and head back up at checkout at 10 am.

Our hosts Nina & Jim were warm and welcoming. The Inn is a picture perfect mountain retreat. Our room was wonderfully appointed, a great Franklin stove, super comfortable bed, very cozy. The breakfast was healthy- the overnight oats - Yummy, homemade banana bread - outstanding, high tech coffee machine to more than satisfy the coffee aficionado and the hot chocolate - Lucious. If you’re going to Donner Lake, your first choice should be the Donner Lake Inn…!!
