If you’re in Truckee and want a cozy spot for dinner with really good views, check out Cottonwood Restaurant. It sits up on a hill, and the patio looks right over downtown Truckee and the mountains. It’s easily one of the best views in town.

Inside it has that dark, cabin-style ski lodge vibe, super warm and cozy. They also do live music pretty often, which makes it a fun place to hang out in the evenings.

The food is tasty, the drinks are great, and the atmosphere is relaxed. If you want a spot where you can unwind, enjoy good food, and take in the views, Cottonwood is a great choice.
