Private car services, rideshares, and rental cars are also options. If you prefer a booked transfer, ask the hotel concierge or BookResorts agents (+1 (888) 605-1350) to arrange logistics in advance.

Local public transport and getting around without a car

Tahoe Truckee Area Regional Transit (TART) operates local bus routes connecting Northstar, Truckee, Tahoe City, and other nearby points; routes and schedules are managed by TART and can be useful for local travel without driving.

Amtrak and regional bus services also serve the Reno area; the Reno Amtrak station is roughly 39–40 miles from the resort. For many day trips (Kings Beach, Tahoe City, Truckee), a combination of hotel shuttle, TART buses, and arranged transfers will cover most needs.

  • TART buses: local routes linking Truckee, Northstar and Lake Tahoe communities.
  • Reno Amtrak station: an option for rail travelers (station ~39–40 miles away).
  • For short local trips or errands, confirm TART routes/schedules ahead—service frequency varies by season.

Prices are shown in the currency indicated and include applicable taxes and fees unless stated otherwise; the total is displayed before you confirm.

Each rate carries its own cancellation policy, shown before you book (for example, non-refundable, or refundable up to a stated deadline). Refund eligibility and timing follow the policy attached to the rate you select. Service fees may be non-refundable.
