Cottage vacation rentals in Truckee

Our best winter (Christmas trip) yet! My family & I have been spending Christmas week in Tahoe for years and this home is the first property that we want to come back to again! It is a mixture of the listing is a home and has all the comforts of an actual home. The location is amazing for skiing, dinning, shopping and still being walkable to "backcountry" trails. Lel is an amazing host and her heart to serve is what makes staying there that much better. She really took care of us for some of our winter adventures! As an Airbnb host myself, Lel's place (including her as a host) is the full package!

Great location walking distance from the slopes?

Loved our stay there! Not very many places allowed us to have all of our pups with us so we're very grateful that they were welcoming and accommodating. Their home was very clean and also included beds for the pups. Loved that there was a spacious yard for our pups to roam around in for potty breaks. Tom was very responsive and it was very easy to communicate with him. Would definitely love to come back one day for another pup trip

We had a wonderful stay at Luisa’s beautiful cottage! The space truly feels like a little slice of paradise—peaceful, bright, and thoughtfully designed. Luisa was incredibly friendly and responsive throughout our visit, which made everything easy and welcoming. It was so nice to lay out by the pool and enjoy the sunshine, surrounded by beautiful flowers and lush foliage. The natural light pouring into the cottage during the day is lovely, though it can make for an early wake-up if you’re sensitive to brightness. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect place for a ski week! Sarah was very responsive and attentive, and the cabin was private and well-maintained. Could not have asked for a better location.

A nice little cabin! We really enjoyed our stay here. We really liked that there was a brewery across the street, we could hear the live music while sitting outside and that was nice. Comfortable beds, nice hot shower. Very responsive and friendly host!

This place was much bigger than we needed but it allowed pets and that was our main criteria so we could have a long weekend as a family. That said, the place was amazing!! Exactly as pictured and no surprises. Everything was clean but more importantly, everything was comfortable....the upstairs bed had me asleep in minutes. With so many places to sleep, we talked about inviting extended family back some time to skiing at Palisades and staying here... it would be PERFECT! Neighbors are also so very friendly and awesome. Caterina was checking in to make sure we were okay and very responsive to me. Money well spent for a much needed get away to the mountains!

Lemon Canyon Ranch is everything the reviews say and more. Nestled in the woods, this private and cozy cabin offers stunning views of the Sierra Valley. The surrounding space is perfect for dogs, with hiking trails just steps from the doorstep. While the road in can be snowy or muddy at times, it only adds to the property's charm. The ranch itself is expansive, and Eveline warmly welcomed us to explore the grounds and historic barns. She was incredibly responsive and helpful with suggestions throughout our stay. This is exactly what Airbnb is all about—welcoming, personal, unique, and an unforgettable experience.

Great stay, will be back!!

Amazing last minute rental near Homewood. Definitely would book again.

Clean, and cozy in a compact footprint. Great location…close to bike path and walk across the street to the lake. Perfect for us with a couple exceptions…no A/C, which was advertised in the description, however the cabin faced the sun during the day and acted like a greenhouse during the day, some of the pillows were stinky, counter space in kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom were very limited. Great for our family of 4, would likely stay here again.

I loved staying here! Very walkable to lots of spots in Midtown. Will certainly be staying again. Gorgeous spot.

Spacious and very well appointed. Rustic Tahoe charm. We had a great time.

Great place to stay with young kids. Easy walk to the gondola in ski gear during naps and short walk to the beach with a playground. Ideally located. Comfortable beds and clean all around. Great layout for the 4 of us. Would stay here again!

We had a great experience all the way around. The location is great. Right on the bike trail and super close to the lake. Can ride bikes on the trail all the way to Meeks Bay if you want or into Tahoe city. The housekeeping team did a great job getting the unit ready for us. We had a couple of questions during our stay and Emily was available to help via phone late on a Friday afternoon and on a Saturday AM. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful unit. Updated nicely and in a great location. Great and super responsive staff. Just a heads up that there is no blender which was not an issue for us but those who might want blended cocktails in the summer while enjoying the lake view bring your own if you can.

Hans was a lovely host! Location could not have been better for skiing and was great for a weekend! Was great with directions and communication, definitely recommend!
