Welcome to Alpenglow Chalet by AvantStay! Nestled among the tall pines of Truckee, this inviting mountain retreat blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Here, you’re just minutes from the slopes of Northstar, trails that wind through the Sierra Nevadas, and the sparkling shores of Lake Tahoe—giving you adventure in every season.
Step inside and be greeted by soaring wood-beam ceilings, sunlight pouring through oversized windows, and a grand stone fireplace that anchors the open-concept living room. The warm wood finishes, plush furnishings, and large flat-screen TV make it the perfect spot to curl up after a day outdoors.
