This Nevada city is close to everything from Lake Tahoe and other alpine lakes to the Sierra foothills of California, all areas where cabin rentals are popular. Head just outside of town to find a vacation rental on the popular Truckee River, which even flows right through Reno. Winter chalets and cozy log cabins can be found near the local ski resort of Mt. Rose, which gets feet of snow in winter, and in the town of Truckee, California, which looks like a little European town in the Alps and offers mountain views. Even still, some of the best Reno cabins and vacation rentals are found closer to Lake Tahoe. Check out Tahoe City and Carnelian Bay or the further California towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley in the Sierra Nevada foothills for riverside cabins, often with a full kitchen, a wood stove, cozy bedding, and a fire pit.
