Top Crystal Lake Hotel Reviews

Truckee Donner Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the location was very convenient. My favorite feature was the coffee machine in the lobby, which offered hot drinks 24 hours a day. It was such a thoughtful touch to be able to enjoy a cup of coffee or another hot beverage anytime, day or night. Overall, a great hotel with excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely consider staying here again!"

⭐️Luxury newly built with Sauna, Steam and Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"The property was a great location and it was perfect for hosting ten people comfortably. Would stay again. "

Lakefront Cabin with private pier on Donner Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Everything as advertised! Karen was a great host and very available for questions. Make sure you time your day to watch the sunset on the dock- it’s magical. Will be back!!!"

Yuba River Inn

8/10 Good

"There is no communication from the host in a town that has no Wi-Fi. No one was home to answer the door or greet us when we got there. So he stood there a little confused, not knowing what to do until we eventually saw a piece of paper around the corner that said the keys were in the door. Once we got in and put our stuff down, we were quite comfortable. I actually enjoyed that there was no Wi-Fi or TV or even an electric clock. It’s exactly what my body needed. To sit down with a glass of wine and my mother to reconnect and have some quality one-on-one time. I think I would have appreciated a little information as to what restaurants were in this tiny town since I had never been here before. It wasn’t hard to find, and we had an amazing meal down the road. I would definitely come back."

Donner Lake Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast good was good. The view was nice and it was very quiet. The location was very good."

Dog-friendly waterfront cabin with lake views & access - close to slopes

10/10 Excellent

"Working with the host was great. They were very accommodating in switching the reservation over to my wife's contact information. VRBO won't make any changes once reservation established. The residence was nice and quaint. Loved the view of Donner Lake from the deck and pier access across the street. Definitely recommend bringing your own pillows. Shower is very small. Very relaxing."

8 Bedrooms, Sleeps 18, 12 bath, Movie theater, Spa, Hot tub, ELEVATOR

10/10 Excellent

"We LOVED this place - it was the perfect home base for our golf trip to Tahoe. Plenty of room, location was great, tons of amenities. Such a cool and unique home - plenty of individual space to get away from the big group, but some really amazing common areas to all gather and get together. Would absolutely stay again if we were back in the area!"

"Loved it! Host was great, my family and I go on annual cabin trips and everyone agreed this one the best one yet, we will be back! 1000/10"
