Truckee Donner Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and quiet."

Franciscan Lakeside Lodge

2/10 Terrible

"Lovely location with beachfront access. Each room is different. Ours was well appointed throughout, with pleasant mountain themed furnishings. Office closed quite early and opened late ,apparently due to " off season ". Didn't receive that information, so check in was somewhat confusing ."

Gravity Haus Truckee-Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"The property itself is gorgeous but the real bonus is the amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable mattress, quiet in the evening, Dry Sauna very enjoyable, on-site restaurant a bit pricy but delicious food and great wine list. Easy access to historic downtown Truckee and on the route for TART (free transportation for the North Lake Tahoe-Truckee area) Only "downside" was that the WiFi in the room was slow, so using streaming services on the TV was difficult. But that actually helped us disconnect from devices and really relax, so in many ways it was actually a plus! Will definitely stay here again."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Southside Highlands?

The best time to visit Southside Highlands is during the late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) months, when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.

Late spring offers comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the scenic trails of the Highlands. The wildflowers are usually in full bloom, adding to the natural beauty. You'll find fewer visitors compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience at popular attractions like the Highland Falls viewpoint.

Early autumn also provides excellent weather, with temperatures similar to late spring, usually between 12°C and 22°C. The foliage begins to change, offering stunning landscapes of reds and golds, particularly along the routes leading to the Highland Summit.
