Bullshead By Tahoe Getaways - Pet-Friendly 4700SQ FT Luxury Riverfront Estate w Hot Tub
Experience the best of North Lake Tahoe from Bullshead Lodge, a spectacular luxury Truckee vacation rental ideally located just three miles from Palisades Tahoe and only minutes from the beaches, dining, and recreation of Lake Tahoe. Set along nearly one-third of a mile of private Truckee River frontage, this remarkable 4,500-square-foot mountain retreat offers the perfect combination of privacy, natural beauty, and year-round adventure for families and groups.
Surrounded by towering pines, beautifully landscaped grounds, and peaceful forest views, Bullshead Lodge is designed for unforgettable gatherings. The spacious home comfortably accommodates up to ten guests with five beautifully appointed bedrooms, expansive living spaces, and multiple areas to relax after a day of skiing, hiking, mountain biking, or exploring the many attractions of Truckee and North Lake Tahoe.
The heart of the home is an impressive great room where soaring ceilings, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, and a striking wood-burning fireplace create a warm and inviting mountain atmosphere. An expansive chef's kitchen with premium appliances, generous counter space, and bar seating flows seamlessly into the dining area, making it easy to prepare meals, entertain, and spend quality time together.
Thoughtfully designed throughout, the home blends timeless mountain craftsmanship with modern comfort. Handcrafted log furnishings, warm wood finishes, and multiple gathering spaces provide room for everyone to unwind. Enjoy movie nights in the upstairs loft, challenge friends to a game of foosball in the lower-level family room, or simply relax by the fire after an unforgettable day on the slopes.
Step outside and experience one of the property's most extraordinary features—its private Truckee River setting. Spend your mornings listening to the flowing river with a cup of coffee, enjoy afternoons lounging on the expansive deck, soak beneath the stars in the private hot tub, or gather around the outdoor seating areas surrounded by towering pines. Whether you're planning a winter ski vacation at Palisades Tahoe, a summer escape filled with hiking, rafting, paddleboarding, and golf, or simply seeking a peaceful Lake Tahoe vacation rental, Bullshead Lodge offers an exceptional mountain experience in one of the most desirable locations in Truckee.

ABOUT THE AREA Olympic Valley is home to Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw/Alpine), one of the largest ski areas in North Lake Tahoe and the host of the 1960 Winter Olympics. With 6,000 skiable acres, 43 chairlifts, and the only funitel in the U.S., Palisades Tahoe is a dream destination for skiers and snowboarders alike. Perfectly located between Truckee and North Lake Tahoe, you're just minutes away from everything the region has to offer.
The Village at Palisades Tahoe provides an array of dining, après options, retail shops, and even a yoga studio for some post-ski relaxation. Enjoy a seamless connection to Alpine Meadows via the 16-minute gondola ride, which links 6,000 acres of world-class terrain, connecting The Village, Alpine Lodge, and the iconic KT-22.
Olympic Valley is just as spectacular in summer. Located at the base of Palisades Tahoe, you can play a round at the Links Golf Course or bike along the scenic Truckee River Trail. The Village offers guided hikes and the chance to conquer the Tahoe Via Ferrata. Take the Tram to High Camp for roller skating, disc golf, or geocaching, and stop by Granite Bistro for lunch and stunning Sierra Mountain views at 8,400 feet.
For hiking enthusiasts, the Shirley Canyon Trail is a must-do, with waterfalls, granite boulders, wildflowers, and the picturesque Shirley Lake. After a 2,000-foot elevation gain, a complimentary Tram ride brings you back to the Village. And when you're ready for a day at the lake, sandy beaches are just 15 minutes from your door, offering the perfect summer retreat.
