Sometimes you just need to splurge and live in the lap of luxury even if it’s for a brief escape. The definition of luxury is having a unique experience that exceeds your expectations. Picture a large suite with plenty of privacy, tailor-made tours, and unexpected amenities. Add to that the charm of historic towns, stunning mountain vistas, and sparkling alpine lakes, and you got yourself the pinnacle of a mountain getaway. Here’s how to indulge yourself when exploring Nevada County.
Truckee

Kick off your High Sierra luxury getaway by reserving an Idlewild room at the stylish Gravity Haus Hotel. Nestled amidst towering pines, this lodging gem is an ideal adventure basecamp to access the slopes of Palisades Tahoe, explore Truckee’s trails or even visit the shores of Donner Lake. Rent a bike from the hotel to effortlessly cruise down to the charming historic downtown area. Here you can leisurely explore the array of unique boutiques and treat yourself to a glass of wine or a delightful lunch at one of the many restaurants showcasing Truckee’s “mountain cuisine.”
Exclusive Outdoor Adventures

For the adventurous souls, conquer your fear of heights or simply test your limits by booking a private tour at the Tahoe Via Ferrata. Alternatively, opt for a more serene experience by hiring Trout Creek Outfitters to lead you to prime fishing spots as you wade along the Truckee River. And to elevate your relaxation to new heights, indulge in a rejuvenating deep tissue massage.
Nevada City

Ever wondered what it was like to live luxuriously over a century ago? Then book the King Suite at the National Exchange Hotel. The room is adorned with elegant fixtures such as soft Persian rugs that would impress Mark Twain. Lofty ceilings and large windows offer unique views, overlooking the historic Nevada City downtown area. Take a leisurely stroll through the town center, exploring its charming bookstores, boutiques, and artisanal chocolate delights that would excite even a French king.
