Bullshead By Tahoe Getaways - Luxury Estate on 4 Acres, Private Hot Tub, Minutes to Palisades

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 (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 benefits of staying in Olympic Valley are unbeatable. Skip the traffic and parking headaches by taking advantage of the Mountaineer Door-to-Door Ski Shuttle, which brings you right to the slopes. Beyond skiing, the area offers a variety of winter activities, including ice skating, snow tubing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. 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.

This winter, take full advantage of your Palisades getaway with our exclusive offer! Book with us and enjoy discounted lift tickets, lessons, and more, courtesy of our partnership with Palisades Tahoe. Tickets are available for midweek, weekend, and holiday visits based on your travel dates.

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.

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.

Incredible Property
This house exceeded all expectations. It was even better than the listing. Our group had an amazing time and would absolutely stay here again. The only difficulty we had was with the oven and even after a technician came out, it never ended up working. Other than that, the place was amazing and I still would recommend to anybody.

The Perfect Family Getaway
Upon arrival we immediately went straight through the back doors to the deck and were awestruck by nature. We thoroughly enjoyed coffee on the deck in the mornings followed by a dip in the Truckee River daily. The chipmunks, hummingbirds, squirrels, snakes, eagles, ducks, and bats kept us entertained. The property was close enough to many hikes and activities but far enough away from the major townships. The property manager was very helpful when we ran into a little setback with the hot tub and grill. We were sad to leave and would highly recommend this property to others!

Outstanding Vacation
Bullshead Lodge is beautifully located, exceptionally spacious and comfortable. The views are awesome, we enjoyed morning coffee on the deck daily. The lawn area is perfect for games and relaxing and the Truckee River is close for fishing or simply enjoying the view. The property management is attentive and helpful and we definitely look forward to returning.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bullshead Lodge.
The house and it’s surroundings fully met our expectations based on the description and pictures we’d seen. We stayed over Christmas & New Years with our family. Sledding at Pole Creek trailhead was an unexpected bonus, in addition to skiing at Squaw, building snowmen by the Truckee River in the backyard, etc. The home’s furnishings and layout were just right, and we especially enjoyed sitting by the fire in the den. The rental agent was very responsive to all our needs. Our only suggestion would be to improve the oven, which was a little bit problematic, though we were able to make it work okay with some effort. Thanks for a great vacation!!
