Reno-Tahoe International Airport
Reno is the closest airport to Lake Tahoe. It’s about an hour drive from Palisades via Uber/Lyft, rental car, or booked shuttle. Tahoe is a car-friendly area and there is plenty of parking.
San Francisco International Airport
San Francisco is approximately a 3 1/2 hour drive from Palisades without traffic. It does often have a larger selection of non-stop flights available.
Sacramento International Airport
Sacramento is approximately a 2 hour drive from Palisades without traffic.
WHERE TO STAY
The Village at Palisades Tahoe
We recommend staying right at the venue, at The Village at Palisades Tahoe! You’ll be able to take provided transportation to the welcome event, walk (and tram) to the ceremony/reception, and walk back to your room at the end of the night.
Rather than a room block, Palisades offers all guests a 20-25% discount off their room rates. Please use the website link here to book your room at the discounted rate. You may also call the phone number provided and ask to book with the Ebert & O’Brien wedding. Please be sure to book your room by May 4th to receive the discounted rate. Rooms booked after this date may no longer be eligible for the discount.
PlumpJack Inn
This is another hotel option right in Olympic Valley within walking distance of The Village.
Everline Resort & Spa Lake Tahoe - Destination by Hyatt
For those looking for a more traditional hotel experience, Everline is located about 2.5 miles from the base of the venue (approximately a 6min drive; 1hr walk). They do offer a shuttle service to and from the Village at Palisades, but please note that it runs starting at 9am with the last pickup from the Village at Palisades at 10:45pm. Our wedding reception will end at 10pm but if you plan on joining us for the after party at the Rocker from 10pm to midnight, please note that the hotel shuttle will no longer be running after the party ends. Guests will need to arrange their own transportation back to the hotel if staying out past the shuttle's final pickup.
Vacation Rentals
There are plenty of house and condo rentals within Olympic Valley & the broader North Lake Tahoe area available via AirBnB or VRBO. Some areas outside of Olympic Valley that I would suggest looking into:
- Kings Beach
- Tahoe City
- Truckee
We highly recommend renting a car if you are not staying at The Village.
TRANSPORTATION
North Lake Tahoe Express - Airport Shuttle
North Lake Tahoe Express is a shuttle service between the Reno-Tahoe International Airport and North Lake Tahoe. Palisades Tahoe is a shuttle pick-up & drop-off location. If you choose not to stay at Palisades, still take a look if interested in a shuttle as they offer a wide range of locations within the North Lake Tahoe area!
Rental Car
There are car rental agencies within both airport options listed. We recommend renting a car if you are interested in exploring the Lake Tahoe area!
Uber/Lyft
If traveling by Uber/Lyft, we recommend scheduling your Uber/Lyft back to the airport as the wait time can be long.
You should have no issue getting an Uber/Lyft from the Reno-Tahoe airport to Palisades/the North Lake Tahoe area!
We do not recommend relying solely on Uber/Lyft to get around North Lake Tahoe. Uber/Lyft is available in the area but expect to pay high rates and experience potentially long wait times.
‘TART’ - Tahoe Truckee Transit
Tart offers both a bus & ride share transportation option.
Bus Transportation Details:
Tart offers free bus transportation within the area. If you choose to stay at The Village at Palisades Tahoe, there is a Tart bus stop.
Tart Ride Share Service Details:
Tart also offers a free ride share service within the Truckee, Incline Village, and Tahoe City/Kings Beach areas. Highly recommend this, we use it all the time and it’s basically free Uber! Just want to caveat that as it’s a ride share you may have to make a stop before reaching your destination & each town is it’s own zone service area so you cannot take one Tart to travel between towns. As Palisades Tahoe is a bus stop, it is not an option for the ride share service but if you find yourself traveling within one of the available towns this is a great option!
If interested, we recommend checking out their website and downloading the app for more information! The app is the best way to book a ride share and/or check the bus schedule. ‘TART Connect’ in the App Store. If using, just be mindful of their ‘service hours’ as buses and ride shares do not run all hours of the night.
