I had stayed at the Bullshead several times in the past, and when learning that my family from Norway was coming to visit me in California I could not think of any better place to take them than a summer week in Tahoe at the Bullshead lodge. The lodge boasts large windows making it the perfect summer cabin offering lots of sun and light whether you rest inside or spend the lazy summer days at the large deck in the back of the lodge. Truckee River is flowing by just some few feet away from the large sun deck patio, and the entire family went for walks along the river and even taking a swim in the slow running cool waters. We had another family visiting us for a few nights that had an infant, and the layout of the lodge makes it easy to get privacy and quietness in the top floor level of the lodge even when there are lots of energetic kids running around on the main floor. The location of the house makes it easy to get over to Squaw valley and the beaches of Lake Tahoe; we had a day at Squaw High Camp in the swimming pool and a beach day at Lake Tahoe, in addition to the must-do Truckee River rafting, which ended just a few miles away from the sun deck at the Bullshead Lodge. I and my Norwegian family had a week of a lifetime at Bullshead Lodge.
