Set between historic Downtown Truckee and the shores of Lake Tahoe, this mountain retreat makes it easy to slip into holiday mode. Summer days are made for hiking in Martis Valley, cycling along the Truckee River, and beach-hopping around Lake Tahoe – just ten miles away. Come winter, Northstar’s slopes are five miles down the road, with Palisades Tahoe within easy reach for bigger mountain days. In between, Downtown Truckee delivers buzzy restaurants, live music, boutiques and local history. Back at home, light-filled, open-plan living spaces and supremely comfortable bedrooms create a relaxed base for big groups to truly switch off, with evenings best spent stargazing from the hot tub, savouring sunset on the balcony and sipping wine on the patio.

Local guide
About Truckee
On the border of California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is one of the largest bodies of water in the US. As you'd expect, it's an area of astounding beauty, but the lake has also made a name for itself as a centre for both winter sports and water sports, as well as hiking and cycling. The north shore is a bit quieter and more relaxed than the south. While there's still plenty to do (including the annual food and wine festival), you're unlikely to see crowds like you do in other parts of the region.
