Wonderful Lodge for both Summer and Winter
By ,
Absolutely wonderful place. We have visited Loch Leven Lodge numerous times over the past 15 years, in both summer and winter seasons. We are from the east coast and wouldn't choose any other place in the Tahoe/Truckee region - we come back every year. We have stayed at the lodge may times with the owner's present and they have been fabulous, mindful of their guests pleasure and try to go the extra mile to make everyone's stay a special visit. The lodge is a beautiful place in both summer and winter. During the winter it is very close to all the major ski resorts and boasts roomy accommodations in a cozy setting with a large deck and hot tub. During the summer, the enormous water frontage makes it feel that you have your own large deck on picturesque and quiet Donner Lake. It's a pleasure to recommend this hidden gem

Manager Rude and Drunk
By ,
We stopped by after reading about the lochleveon lodge to check on rooms, Had to ring the bell several times, then the girl came to help and was rude and drunk, could not answer any of our questions, Would never stay there after that. Even thinking about writing the owners. July 2010

Not happy with service!!
By ,
We have been guests at Loch Leven for years. We have not enjoyed our last three stays. Two managers ago were our favorites. They always asked how we were doing, and if we needed anything. On our most recent trip the manager was rude and not friendly. We will not return.

Great view on the lake!
By ,
We LOVED the view and general location. However, found the current managers to be unfriendly and unaccommodating. The location is unbelievable for the price. Great for swimming and hanging out in the summer. You can walk right out of your room and fish on the deck. Great trout!

spectacular view from your room! Right on the lake. Quick access to ski resorts, esp. after a snow storm. Rooms with warmth, full kitchen for meals. Loved it.
By ,
Good value , clean, and great breakfast & lunch across the street down one block. The kids liked the Donner Museum about the Donner Party. Great deck, made snowman, but probably great more for summer swimming. Loved Truckee. We like small places with character. Those who like large hotels with many restaurants and amenities within would probably not enjoy this small resort.

Always enjoyed...
By ,
We just saw this location where we could post our experience. We have been visiting Loch Leven for almost 10 years. Of all the managers, we liked Randy & Becky the best. Other have been good, but we liked the friendly, huggy, and not-so-huggy feeling we got when they were there. They would pre-heat the room on a cold snowy Friday night. Bring them back...please. Everyone should stay once...you will love it

Do not go it the owners are there
By ,
We have been going to Loch Leven for about five years. We had our most enjoyable visits when Becky and her husband managed the lodge. Since there departure we have not felt the warm friendly feeling. DO NOT visit when the owners or there sons & wives are visiting. They take over the deck, especially the BBQ area. They have a boat that sounds like a farm tractor, and they enjoy firing it up very early in the morning. Ask if they will be there before you make your reservation.

Great Weekend
By ,
I've stayed here multiple times and have never had a problem. A great weekend trip. Fished right off the deck and was able to catch a far amount of trout for dinner. No complaints.

Checked out early
By ,
The new managers were not able to respond in a professional manner to issues that arose during our stay that we decided to check out early and would not stay there again. Lake Donner is a beautiful location with many accomodation options. I would not recommend this resort.

Favorite Donner Getaway!
By ,
Donner Lake is one of the most beautiful places on earth and if you want to experience it up close & personal, Loch Leven Lodge is the place to do it. Scenery, Scenery, Scenery! Right from your very own balcony the lake & surrounding mountains are larger than life!! You can watch lake goers boat, fish, & swim in the summer months and during the winter a frozen Donner supports ice skaters, ice hockey players, and people & pets just curious of how it feels to stand on a frozen lake. No matter what time of year, don't miss Donner's amazing sunsets, right from your own room! Staff members have always made our stay comfortable & worry free. During our last stay, the owners Steve & Ede were so welcoming & informative. They happily told us they were personally on site & available, if needed, 24 hours a day. The rooms are cozy, clean, and well equipped including a small kitchenette and dining area for those romantic evenings in or, for avoiding the higher cost of dining out. The addition of the newer fireplaces adds to the Loch Leven's rustic comforts. Outside your room, there are plenty of activities Donner Lake & Truckee have to offer but, if you don't feel like venturing out too far, try the Loch Leven hot tub. The temperature is always perfect & we usually end up meeting a friendly face or two.
