Truckee Cozy Cabin
We had a great stay in Truckee. We would definitely come back. Thanks, Jon!

Falcon Crest in Tahoe Donner
Beautiful cabin in the woods with comfortable beds and relaxing hot tub. Hot tub was already warm when we arrived and no extra charge to use the hot tub. Wonderful kitchen where we made breakfast and we went out to dinner at local restaurants. About 10 mins away from Boreal and Donner Ski Ranch and close to several other Tahoe Ski resorts. We woke up to several cute chipmunks running in the snow right outside the sliding door. Would go back.

Backyard Golf, 9 Beds, Game Loft, Peaceful
Great location, very friendly host and great communication.

Truckee Valley Cabin Retreat
We had a wonderful time in Melissa's cabin! This area was very secluded and it was exactly what we were hoping for a weekend getaway. Our dog loved the area and the snow! Although it wasn't our intention to intrude on Melissa's day, our dogs went out to find each other and they got along great! It was a wonderful experience and we would love to come back again sometime.

Fun 3 BR Cabin with Hot Tub near Lake and Skiing
The place was really great. It had everything including the utensils, towels, barbecue, and many more.

Beautiful, Modern Truckee Home
We have stayed in Tahoe Donner many times over the years but this was the first time at this house. The experience was great from start to finish. Hamish and Kim were super clear about what to expect, the house was so clean, perfectly furnished for relaxing and sleeping and it had everything needed for a couple of nice meals in. We needed to connect with Hamish and Kim a few times and they were always SUPER responsive and helpful - which is always so nice on weekends like this. We will for sure look to stay here again.

Come Stay and Play in Historic Downtown Truckee!
This is a truly remarkable property. An historic house in downtown Truckee with a remarkable renovation. The house is pristine and well stocked, everything is comfortable and yet the spirit of the structure from 1865 is well preserved. Brian and Megan are consummate hosts. We were in town this time for a USA climbing youth competition for our daughter (and a little skiing). Brian is an avid climber himself and really made a personal connection with us. We love downtown Truckee, being a block or two from our favorite spots is amazing. This house and it's hosts go far beyond an otherwise lovely town.

Luxurious 1 bedroom retreat in Northstar Village!
The place was as described and looked like the pictures. Erica was very responsive to questions we had. The unit also had some extra bathroom amenities like eye makeup remover and Q-tips besides your usual shampoo/conditioner and body wash. They also gave a small s’more’s package. The kitchen had standard supplies but had some plastic dining ware that we were able to use for the kids. They also had a toy and book basket with games that my kids loved. Very family friendly. The location is a little farther from the ski lifts but completely walkable and in the village. We would definitely stay here again!

Chairlift Lodge-Soda Springs-Pet Friendly
A fantastic mountain retreat! Cozy home with stunning nature views, perfect for a getaway. Conveniently close to Truckee for shopping and dining. Highly recommend!

Multi-Family Retreat 10min to Lake w/ Hot Tub+Pool
Really enjoyed our group stay. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond. The property had everything needed for a trip. 5/5 star rating, would book again.

Soda Springs Retreat
Place looks as pictured and is a great value. Amazing location. We enjoyed our time here and the host was very responsive.

Blue Mountain Haus
Blue Mountain Haus offers the perfect balance of comfort and convenience. With parking right in front of the unit and a shuttle to the village just two doors down. This beautifully remodeled unit in NorthStar at Tahoe feels like home. Thoughtfully decorated, it offers a warm, inviting atmosphere. The well-appointed kitchen has everything needed for the family chef, seamlessly connecting to the dining and family rooms for quality time together. The cozy living room features ample seating, a gas fireplace, and stunning snow-capped hillside views. A quaint balcony with a bistro table is perfect for coffee, wine, or simply enjoying the scenery. Bedrooms are tastefully decorated with plush mattresses, soft linens, and fresh pillows. A stocked laundry area with new machines keeps up with outdoor adventures. Thoughtful details and communicative hosts made this our most memorable vacation rental. We can’t wait to return for another season of relaxation and adventure! Thank you, Chad!

Your guide to Truckee
Welcome to Truckee
Nestled in the Sierra Nevada against the majestic backdrop of the Tahoe National Forest, Truckee comes by its frontier vibe honestly. Fortune seekers of all types made their way to this mountain outpost, from Gold Rush hopefuls en route to nearby mines to men seeking work in the booming logging industry. In 1867 the first train rolled into town on the newly forged Central Pacific Railroad, and the passengers who spilled forth were greeted by a rough-and-tumble boomtown populated with saloons and gambling halls. Truckee’s well-preserved downtown, with its brick storefronts and wooden sidewalks, is now home to boutiques, candy stores, and art galleries. Not that Truckee has gotten too highfalutin’ for its own good: this is a place where hearty diner fare lives comfortably next to farm-to-table prix-fixe menus. More than just a picturesque mountain town, Truckee is an outdoor recreation mecca situated at the nexus of several top-notch ski resorts, numerous lakes, and pristine forests criss-crossed with scenic hiking trails.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Truckee
Thanks to Truckee’s advantageous location, there are activities to enjoy here every season. During the hot summer months the streets, vacation rentals, nearby lakes, and parks course with visitors. In fall, the temperatures dip along with the crowds and the surrounding forests turn brilliant shades of yellow and red. Winter means snow and a second high season, as people flock to the nearby slopes or to traverse the powdery landscape on cross-country skis and snowshoes. Spring can still look a lot like winter in Truckee, but as the snow starts to thaw, waterfalls spring to life.
Top things to do in Truckee
Donner Lake
Lake Tahoe is the celebrity body of water around here, but smaller Donner Lake has its own charm, such as a more secluded atmosphere. A clear freshwater gem ringed by conifers and a few impressive estates, this lake is ideal for lazy days of sunning and swimming. If you’re feeling more active, kayaks, canoes, and jet skis are available to rent shoreside. The West End Beach Park has BBQs, horseshoe pits, and volleyball, and a concession stand slinging burgers, ice cream, and other treats.
Donner Memorial State Park
The name Donner is unavoidable in this area, and is attached to part of the region's darkest chapters. In 1846 a wagon train called the Donner Party attempting a shortcut through the mountains near Truckee became stranded during an unforgiving winter. Only 45 of the 91 travelers survived. A visitor center and museum displays artifacts of the doomed pioneers. Outside, a memorial statue sits atop a 22-foot granite base — the same height as the snow drifts that fateful winter.
Old Jail Museum
This circa-1875 jail once housed the brawling baddies of historic Truckee. With 32-inch stone walls, steel ceilings, and doors weighing nearly 200 pounds, it is a veritable fortress. The jail was restored in the 1970s and is now operated as a museum displaying historic photographs and artifacts significant to the town’s history, including antique ski equipment. The museum is open seasonally, so check ahead before you go.
