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.
