Top Calpine Hotel Reviews

The Inn at Nakoma

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great all inclusive resort in a special, quaint place in Northern California Sierra Nevada. Front Desk Staff is attentive and congenial."

The Mondrian Hole in One - An MCM Townhome in a Quiet Golf Course Community

10/10 Excellent

"Great hosting"

Tahoe Ski Lodge WiFi, hot-tub sleeps 12

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful family gathering of three generations at this home. The open layout, comfy living space, and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our needs. The location near Truckee and Donner Lake were exactly what we were hoping for and the access to the local recreation clubs were a huge contribution to our enjoyment (my 7 year old granddaughter was in water every day and loved each option!).We had a couple needs while there and the management handled them well and quickly. Using the home was easy and everything was explained well. It was clean and well-maintained, even the grill was in great shape.We had a few notes on specifics - there’s no air conditioning, which made the upper floor bedrooms really warm in the heat wave we happened to visit during. The kids’ room needed clothing storage of some kind and we got some splinters from the deck. And the deck was the only way to enjoy the property from outside, especially for little kids.Overall, we’re very happy we visited!"

Donner Lake Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful area nice cozy’s, , close to Donner Lake and not too far from Lake Tahoe. We had a wonderful time there"

Sierra City Loves Falls Cabin - Walking Distance to Waterfall & PCT

8/10 Good

"The cabin was great. No issues at check in or during our stay. Only things noticed were lots of dog hair on the rug in the living room, the back double doors wouldn't lock, the door upstairs leading to the balcony and down to the driveway wouldn't lock, and the windows occasionally came off their closing-mechanism so you had to close them by hand. Otherwise, it was a nice cabin for the price. Would definitely stay here again."

3 Br, 2 Bath +Loft, Dogs OK! - Ask about mid-week specials

8/10 Good

"The host was very timely in her responses when we had a few questions and she was quick to address our concerns. It is a small cabin/house that sits in a perfect location. The cabin/house was cozy. We would definitely stay there again."

Clair Tappaan Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"True Gem in the Tahoe forest. Can hike to ski lft behind the lodge and ride back to your room."

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

8/10 Good

"Very cute cabin and was nicely furnished with wonderful views of Donner Lake. We really enjoyed the wood decor and vaulted wood ceilings. The bedrooms were cozy and the loft was very comfortable. The outside deck made for comfortable mornings sipping coffee and evenings having dinner viewing Donner Lake. The cabin has pretty everything a family would need to feel at home. My only suggestion would be to update the sheets to cotton and some of the pots/pans are a bit tired. Overall, a very nice place and would definitely come back."
