We recently had a West coast family reunion at Donner Lake Resort... this is our third time at the resort. We keep coming back because of the great location and welcoming feel we receive each time. We especially enjoy using the townhouses on the lake. Lots of room with full kitchen and 2 bathrooms. I want to personally thank Michelene... more

Supported by a friendly staff, close proximity to Sugarbowl, excellent location by Donner Lake and a clean 1 bedroom unit, one would think that the Donner Lake Village Resort would be the ultimate place to stay. It is. Until your neighbors arrive. Night 1: To call the walls paper thin would be an insult to paper. Our neighbors next door... more

We were skiing in Tahoe for few days and chose Donner Lake and I'm really glad we did. The location is fabulous. I personally find smaller lakes more charming and cozy. We had a 1 bedroom suite at the end of the building next to the lake so we faced the lake on both sides of the living room. The... more

I just spent two nights at DLVR and am amazed at what a great place it is for the price — or even for a higher price! In the "shopping-around" phase, I was impressed at the price for my single-occupancy stay, but thought I'd compare with area motels. They all offered less for around the same price, or a higher... more

I've been going to Donner Lake Village for many years with my family. Firstly, it has one of the best location in the North Shore. It's just a few miles to Sugar Bowl, or Boreal and about 10-15 minutes to Squaw. The property sits on a beautiful, pristine lake. Literally. It also has boat docks for water sports in the... more

My wife and I spent two nights in Room 203 at the Donner Lake Village Resort last month. First of all, I really loved the location on Donner Lake. It was rather isolated (a plus) but we were just a few miles from Truckee and a little more to Lake Tahoe. While our room had a view of the parking... more

This resort is has an amazing lakefront location at the west end of the lake. A big plus is that there is a Marina next door that rents kayaks, speed boats, jetskis, etc. The units are very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The resort area next to tthe lake has picnic tables, barbecues, and chairs. It is a great setup... more

We didn't know what we were in for, but what a pleasant surprise The staff was very personable and accomadating. The rooms are all different (we looked at a few.) We stayed in a Lakeside Studio, the kitchen was equipped well, the bed was very comfortable. In fact the entire room was very comfortable. What a view of Donner Lake,... more

We stayed at Donner Lake Village for two sunny winter days. I thought that the lake was going to be nice, but it far exceeded our expectations.....like a beautiful picture postcard. We chose a one bedroom condo. It was exceptionally clean with outstanding views of the lake. Highlights of our trip included a walk in the snow on the nature... more
