    It was awesome breakfast experience with the hosts. We had a great chat. They even gave my daughter utensils with my daughter's favorite color.

    Homely place with friendly and very helpful hosts. It’s a long way from home for us but if we come back to this area then we would definitely stay here again. First class.

Paul
We are located across the street from Donner Lake just 2 miles of Interstate 80, nestled in the forest alongside Gregory Creek. Year-round activities are just a few miles away. Our breakfasts have become known as "Worth Waking Up For". A must see!!!
Paul & Mindy spent a lot of time in their youth in the Tahoe/Truckee/Donner area. After retiring as educators, & traveling extensively, with a passion for B & B s, running a year-round B & B was a natural step. Their attention to detail is obvious.
We are a family owned business, located in the forest, just a 5 minute walk to the West End Beach of Donner Lake in summer or a few miles from a number of ski resorts in winter. Very bike friendly area. An easy drive to all the restaurants in Truckee and a great drive to Lake Tahoe.
