About this property

Bullshead Lodge- Luxury Estate, 4 Acres on River, Hot Tub, Minutes to Lake Tahoe!

Located just three miles from the village and slopes of Palisades Tahoe and a short drive from the shores of Lake Tahoe, this is the ideal rental for families and groups of friends looking to take advantage of some of the finest sporting, dining, and natural splendor the Tahoe area has to offer.

Surround yourself with style and discover the picture-perfect getaway in this deluxe 4500 sq ft North Shore Vacation Rental Property. Situated along the banks of the Truckee River, guests are sure to enjoy the natural beauty outdoors in a true park-like setting. With nearly 1/3 of a mile of river frontage, backing to the forest and newly landscaped grounds, this luxury Tahoe estate offers the peaceful oasis you and your guests seek from a quintessential mountain vacation.

Spacious and luminous lodge interiors, five cozy bedrooms accommodating ten, and excellent outdoor amenities including a private hot tub and new outdoor furniture create an ideal vacation. Every detail, from the hand-crafted log frame beds to the miner's style accents, has been conceived with comfort and rustic elegance. On cooler nights, cook hearty meals in the chef-grade kitchen, serving cocktails and appetizers at the bar and gathering around the dining table for a quiet dinner. After dinner, guests can gather in the spacious great room around the wood fireplace or find multiple living spaces to spread out. The upstairs loft provides a comfy area for movie-watching before bed. The younger crowd may prefer the lower level where a casual family room provides yet another television area and a foosball table for evening entertainment.

Whether inside or out, you will enjoy the tranquility as well as the thoughtful quality of this beautiful custom-built vacation home. As you gaze out the vast floor-to-ceiling great room windows at the mountain ranges, you can't help but feel away from it all.

ABOUT THE AREA

Olympic Valley is home to Palisades Tahoe (formally known as Squaw/Alpine) which is one of the largest ski areas in North Lake Tahoe and was the host site of the 1960 Winter Olympics.

Great Place and location
We very much enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect! We loved the river, lawn area this the excellent part of the place! Overall the place is was very good. The issues where it was not that clean. Our guests found stuff that had not been cleaned, and we paid extra for early stay ($75). The oven was very difficult and it was mentioned in the views as an issue, but this made it much harder. The tv was another issue. The sound was not hooked up so it was more difficult to hear with the windows opened in the evening. For the price these things need to be fixed and upgraded. Still loved the place, but we own properties and we just believe it should be top notch when high priced.

Nice house, but street noise
The house was nice and the check in and check out process easy. I would not rent it again because of the street noise heard through open windows and on the deck. It really detracted from the serenity. I would not have booked this house if I knew it was right on the highway.

Beautiful Home… But…
The home setting is absolutely stunning. Living room views of rock face mountains, trees and the Truckee river. Truckee river access is less than a couple hundred feet from house. Large lawn area for kids to play on. Great privacy! The home layout is also great. Tahoe Getaways also did a great job with communication and home details. Here comes the But… The bed and pillows are horrible unless you like hard hard spring beds and flat pillows. . The oven also didn't work. The home needs a couple days of minor repair items as well. The pros out weigh the cons so I would stay again.

Beautiful Family Spot
Comfortable home in spectacular setting. Easy layout for families, with everything you need in the kitchen. We have visited Bullshead many times and will be back. We noticed the Internet service is much improved compared to our last visit at the end of 2019 -- Zoom work calls were no problem.
