What Our Guests Are Saying
Heidi Somhegyi
Donner Lake Village Resort was a great place for our family vacation and we will be back. The rental office staff was helpful and friendly!
Daniel Zook
This place is an unbelievable hidden gem. We have passed by Donner Lake for over 20 years and didn’t realize that Donner Lake Village was there. Seems like the majority of rooms I have seen have been recently remodeled and well cared for and many have a lake or partial lake views. We especially like the easy access to many ski resorts and very close to downtown Truckee. Make sure to check out the fireplace room overlooking the lake.The staff here is friendly, professional and very accommodating. This will definitely be our go to place and being a lake front property we plane to return this summer.
Joana Soto
We just went hiking on the Donner tunnels. The view is amazingly breathtaking. My family and friends enjoyed.
