The Larkspur Hotel is not only wonderful for a romantic Tahoe getaway, but it's perfect for those kinds of couples who are also in love with the outdoors. Located in the small, historical town of Truckee, the elegant, but still rustic Larkspur is close to boutique shopping, dining and several ski resorts including Northstar-at-Tahoe.

For a romantic getway, the Larkspur offers guestrooms that include feather comforters and pillows, natural woods and rustic, beautiful furniture, free WiFi, a DVD player and a coffee maker. The Larkspur welcomes you each morning with a complimentary hot buffet breakfast that includes eggs, delectable pastries, a variety of cereals, fluffy muffins and more.

During your stay, you can participate in any of the area's outdoor sports including skiing, boarding, hiking, golf, white-water rafting or just strolling around Donner Lake or Lake Tahoe. When you return to the hotel, ease into their whirlpool spa or the swimming pool which is open in the summer.

For couples who can't leave their four-legged children behind, the Larkspur is proud to be a pet-friendly hotel as well. The Larkspur offers special treatment for their canine visitors including a stainless steel food and water dish, a map of pet-friendly areas in Truckee and freshly baked doggy treats from a local dog bakery.
