Truckee Cabins

Truckee is the mountain town above the lake: a historic downtown on the Truckee River, an active train town since the 1860s, and the closest town to Palisades Tahoe and Northstar. Cabins here lean pine-paneled and woodsy, often with ski gear rooms.

Common questions

How far is Truckee from the lake?

Truckee sits about 15 minutes from the lake's north shore. It's a common base for skiers because Palisades Tahoe and Northstar are close by.

Is Truckee better in winter or summer?

Both. Winter brings skiing at the nearby resorts; summer brings mountain biking, river floats, and a cooler evening climate than the lakeshore.
