Lighthus: A Contemporary Tahoe Retreat
You read ‘this is the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in’ a lot on this app for a bunch of OK/decent places but truly this is the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. More akin to a living architecture property, we felt very lucky to be able to stay in such a wonderfully curated and thoughtfully designed space. Every detail thought of. Really walkable to good coffee (three pines) and the lake, and v close to a bunch of running and cycling trails.

Truckee Cozy Cabin
Great place and host!

Quiet Mountain cabin, Donner Lake.
We loved staying at Mike's cabin. It was a perfect relaxing getaway for us and our dogs on a very quiet street with nearby trails. We enjoyed the cozy feeling of the cabin and were glad to have a well stocked kitchen for cooking and plenty of firewood for unwinding at night. Mike was very friendly and communicative, and was able to offer some local suggestions when asked. Just a heads up - if you don't have 4 wheel drive, you may want to use chains to get up the last couple hilly streets to the cabin in case of icy or snowy conditions. Once we arrived, though, the stairs to the cabin were completely free of ice and snow. Thank you, Mike!

Cabin de Siewers
Kristine's cabin was perfect for what we needed. Very quiet and great location to get around Tahoe.

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.

Donner Lake Birdhouse *EV charger
Really beautiful view! Cute area with restaurants within a 10 min driving distance. A lot of cleaning instructions - washing dishes, taking out trash, washing linens and one of the beds had no pillow cases. Other than that, I would stay again

Boho Bosque: Private spa in Tahoe Donner awaits!
We had the most amazing stay at this Donner Lake/Truckee gem! The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip—plenty of towels, a well-stocked kitchen, and even ping pong and a hot tub. for the. The location is perfect—quiet and peaceful, but still close to downtown Truckee and all the outdoor adventures. We went hiking, shopping, and spent the day at West End Beach which is a 10 min drive . The hosts were super kind, and made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth stay. Highly recommend for families, people with pets (we brought our dog), or anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the Sierra Nevadas. We can’t wait to come back!

[Skislope Cabin] Hot Tub - Dog Friendly
My family and I spent a wonderful weekend at this cabin. Cabin was well set up, beds comfortable, many games/ equipment available for use. The hot tub and views from the deck were amazing. Highly recommend!

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.

Luxury Family Mtn Getaway HotTub+2 Master Bdrms
Scott was a terrific host! We truly enjoyed his cabin, as it was a perfect fit for our family gathering with our kids who came in a from Las Vegas to meet us, coming in from Arizona. The cabin is truly amazing and we felt right at home. Scott was very friendly and always helpful and thoughtful! I highly recommend a Scott’s place, the house is perfect and Scott is a wonderful host! We built some amazing memories with our family and can’t wait to go back!

Tahoe Treehouse | Hot Tub, Private Pier, Dome Loft
We had an amazing Father’s Day Weekend at the tree house. It was secluded and private. Peaceful even with our 5 year old. Our favorite was the open roof bed upstairs, the hot tub, and the old school Nintendo switch. It was close to some beautiful hiking spots, and the pier around sunset was really nice. Would definitely recommend.

Tinopai Tahoe Donner Condominium
The place was beautiful and peaceful a great place to go relax , it felt cozy like home .

Base Camp for Your Next Tahoe Adventure
Nice, cozy space that had everything we needed. We were there off-season and so it felt a bit isolated as we seemed to be the only people in the building. Also, the snow pack was so high there was almost no light coming through the window, though that couldn't be helped!

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.
