A historic mountain town at the gateway to Tahoe
Truckee grew up around the transcontinental railroad in the 1860s, and its historic downtown, with the trains still rolling through, has a frontier charm that sets it apart from the resorts around it. It sits just north of Lake Tahoe, beside Donner Lake, with Northstar, Palisades Tahoe and Sugar Bowl all a short drive away.
Our Truckee collection includes 21 homes, many in Northstar and the forested neighbourhoods around town, with hot tubs, fireplaces and space for families.
Here is a guide to Truckee.
