Mountain Lotus Retreat - Summer Getaway at Historic Downtown Truckee Home, Walk to Shops and Dining

Welcome to our charming historic retreat, originally built in the 1940s as a rectory, and now a serene escape located in the heart of downtown Truckee, right next to the Mountain Lotus Center and Yoga Studio.

Enjoy the convenience of walking to nearby restaurants and shops in historic downtown, all while taking in breathtaking views of Mt. Rose from the front and the tranquil Trout Creek from the back. This scenic Sierra destination is surrounded by hiking and biking trails, wildflower-filled meadows, golf, live music, and easy access to beautiful Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe. With accommodations for up to 12 guests across 10 beds, and ample parking spaces. This home is perfect for retreats, groups, and families. As part of your stay, you'll receive two complimentary guest passes per day to our world-class yoga studio. The Mountain Lotus Yoga Retreat House spans three levels, with the top two floors available for short-term retreat rentals.

On the second floor, you'll enter through a hallway that opens onto a spacious living room, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen, with a laundry room conveniently located at the end. To the left, you'll find a cozy study with a sofa bed, and a bedroom with trundle bunk beds — both connected by a full bathroom.

Further down the hall, another bedroom awaits with an en suite full bathroom. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite features a king-size bed; the room next to it has two twin beds. Then across is a smaller adjoining bedroom with bunk beds. The upstairs features a full bathroom with a shower and ample closet space, making it a comfortable and private retreat.

Please be aware that there is a downstairs, full-time below the home. Please be mindful.

There is no AC. To keep the property cool, open the windows and sliders at night to let cool air in, then close the windows, doors, and blinds when you leave for the day.

Great location! Well stocked. The included yoga classes were a great benefit even if we didn’t end up taking advantage. The next door event space had big events all weekend but the house was surprisingly quiet and serene, we didn’t notice any sound from the events. Would definitely stay there again!
