Guests at Gravity Haus Truckee-Tahoe will be able to enjoy activities in and around Truckee, like skiing and cycling. Room, services and location everything was perfect. We stayed for two nights in Truckee to discover the area around Lake Tahoe. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We used also in the morning the “Dryland (sport area)” to do some exercises and in the evening after hiking also the sauna and hot tub. The best thing was the good air, as Gravity Haus Truckee is located in nature. We can definitely recommend this place.
