Spoil Your Pup in Truckee-Tahoe this Summer

Here’s where to stay, play, eat and more in dog-friendly Truckee-tahoe.

Traveling and exploring with our furry friends is a big part of summer vacation. The Gravity Haus family — including our newest location in Truckee, California — welcomes dogs with open arms.

We’ve dug up the best pet-friendly activities and restaurants in Truckee and Tahoe for you and your doggo to get excited about. 

Dog-Friendly Lodging at Gravity Haus Truckee-Tahoe

Our newest location transforms the award-winning Cedar House Sport Hotel into a fourth Gravity Haus outpost. Beautifully positioned in northern California between Palisades, Northstar and Lake Tahoe, dog-friendly summer adventures beckon in every direction from this elevated lodge. Dog-friendly hotel rooms are available and must be booked in advance. Upon arrival, dogs are set up with their own in-room doggie bed, bowl and treats, so you can explore and then refuel and reset in comfort with your best friend. Our pet fee is $50/night per dog for non-members and $25/night for Gravity Haus members!

Donner Memorial State Park

Open sunrise to sunset, this pet-friendly state park is prime for picnicking, boating, fishing and hiking (check signage; pets aren’t allowed on all of the trails).

Northstar Resort

Enjoy free dog-friendly gondola rides all summer at Northstar and take in the views of Lake Tahoe and beyond. Hike among the red fir and white pine and then stroll around the pet-friendly village. 

Truckee River Regional Park

Frolic across 62 acres of dog-friendly nature trails at this popular park just a half mile south of downtown Truckee. 

Tahoe City Kayak

Get out on the water for a row with Fido. This pet-friendly outfitter welcomes dogs in its tandem kayaks.

Kings Beach State Recreation Area 

Share a picnic with your pooch under the pine trees and then cruise around paved paths before hitting the Raccoon Street Dog Area where pets can explore the path along the beach.

Palisades Tahoe Aerial Tram 

Head to Olympic Valley for a dog-friendly scenic tram ride. Or hike up and tram down, following the Shirley Lake Trail and taking a pit stop to play fetch and let your pup swim in the lake.

Tahoe City Dog Park

Small dogs love this petite off-leash park behind Rosie’s Café. Burn off some zoomie energy and then grab a breakfast sandwich and a coffee at the restaurant.

Mellow Fellow

Sip a post-hike craft brew at this Truckee restaurant and bar where well-behaved dogs are allowed in the taproom.

Dog and beer lovers: This is your spot. Visit two locations — the Tahoe City pub and the Truckee taproom — for a dog-friendly outdoor patio and lively indoor scene.

Moe’s Original Bar B Que

Nosh Alabama-style barbecue and grab a beer with your dog while taking in picturesque lake views from the patio at Moe’s.

Wild Cherries Coffee House

Savor European-style pastries, quiches and pies from the pet-friendly Truckee patio where mornings are spent lingering over the paper and coffee while your pooch naps in the sun.

Stella

Our in-haus restaurant, Stella Truckee loves to have dogs on the patio! Breakfast, happy hour or dinner – four-legged fido is welcome to cozy up on the patio while the humans dig into farm fresh eats at Stella.
