As soon as you arrive at this beautiful Truckee home, the serene sounds of the rushing river and stream will envelope you. During the winter, snow blankets the ground, creating a true winter wonderland, while the summer invites blooming wild flowers and lush pine and aspen trees.

If you’re not quite ready to step inside, just walk along to the newly renovated, nearly 700-square-foot deck, where you’ll be greeted to remarkable views of the river and forest. Even when hunger strikes you won’t be forced to retreat inside, as you’ll find a gas grill on the deck and a picnic area down on the grounds.

Inside, this home offers a well-equipped kitchen, living room, dining area, 2 bedrooms, brand new windows, and a loft amidst its 1,100 square feet of well-appointed living space. On the colder days, throw some wood on the fire in the living room to keep everyone nice and toasty.

The group’s chef will find all of the basics needed in the kitchen to treat everyone to a fabulous home cooked meal. Pull up to the breakfast bar for a quick bite, or enjoy quality time together around the dining table while enjoying your meal.

Come nighttime, this home offers 2 cozy bedrooms, plus a loft with its own private half-bathroom. Start your day by brewing a fresh pot of coffee and a stroll along the river on an easement where a railroad connecting Truckee to Tahoe City used to run.

-- THE LOCATION --

Although you’ll never want to stop enjoying the scenery at the cabin, you can find so much to do in Truckee or Lake Tahoe. Whether you want to shop, golf, ski, hike or enjoy water sports, you will be within minutes of any activity.

Cast a line during your visit as you fish in the Truckee River at any time of day!

Close to Palisades!
My daughters, 11 & 14, and I enjoyed watching the river rush by from the kitchen and sitting area in the quaint cabin. Plenty of light, a cozy loft, and a kitchen with amenities made it a perfect base camp for our spring ski trip.

Nice place
Beautiful view. Quick drive to Truckee. Perfect for a small family. Driveway is a little confusing to find if coming from the north. Look at maps before arriving.

Cute place on the truckee river
Really sweet little place on the truckee river that suited my needs, snowboarding at Northstar. Google maps kept wanting to send me all the way down to Alpine Meadows if I navigated there with that app; so heads up on that. The house could benefit from better water flow in the kitchen sink, or a dishwasher.

Post new years ski trip
My family and I really enjoyed our three nights here for a short ski trip at Palisades/ Alpine Meadows. Great location being about midway between truckee and Olympic valley right off hwy 89. The deck off the back of the house is awesome and borders right up against the truckee river. The house is 1 of 3 properties on a small driveway pull off on 89, and can sneak up quickly, so be careful with traffic. Also, exiting the driveway is a bit of of incline, so care is need there as well when merging onto 89.

Absolutely wonderful!
If you are looking for a quiet get away on the river, this is for you! This rustic cabin is so lovely and surrounded by beautiful lush greenery - Quaking aspens, Pines, and tons of other plants including some lupines. There is a beautiful running creek to the left of the property that feeds into the running river down below which is all easily accessible. There are chairs down by it to hang out on. As far as swimmable, it is not really so easy at the cabin but there are plenty of spots nearby. It is rocky and you will need your river sandals to walk around. There is a walkable trail to the left that goes through the woods along the river. The cabin is cozy and has everything you need. Very dog friendly, there are supplies for you in the mudroom. The deck is new and huge and safe for dogs since it has gates and it looks out onto the river. The only tricky part of this cabin is it easy to miss. Google maps sent us 5 miles past to make a u-turn. There's a highway sign for the landfill that is at the entrance. Don't worry, there is no landfill nearby! The cabin is close to town to get to Safeway, etc and close to the River Run and Tahoe City. What is so great is there is not much light at night and you can see tons of stars at night. We would stay there again for sure! Jackie is a great host and very communicative! Thank you again, Jackie!

Family Ski Trip
This property is perfect if you are looking to ski Palisades, Alpine or Sugar Bowl. High snow pack wall presented some challenges, mainly the tightness of drive way and parking. All in all great spot for a family ski trip

Beautiful rustic cabin on the river
This place really takes you back to a simpler time where there was a stronger bond between you and nature. We stayed during the winter and from the snow capped rocks on the river to the valley extending in all directions it really put our souls at ease. But it isn't too far out of the hustle as It was only 10 min up the road to downtown Truckee and all of the ski resorts were easily accessed. We had a good time and would love to see the place in the summer too!

Old Tahoe House on the Truckee
My husband really liked the house and he normally doesn't flip out over the rentals we stay at. Very green and serene, great deck, river view. Comfortable for three people. I don't think any more than four people staying there is a good fit. There is one shower.

Magical spot by the river
This was a beautiful location on the river. Multiple wildflowers, hidden spots to relax, a creek, and a bridge leading to a riverside walking path. The deck was great for our dog- surrounding the rear if the cabin with gates, so safe for pets and kids. The owner was responsive and very helpful. My younger son loved having his own loft upstairs. It is about 5 minutes from Squaw Valley and 20 from Tahoe City, 30-40 from Emerald Bay. Only 2 thing I wished I’d known: it is about an hour from South Lake Tahoe ( my lack of knowledge), and the cabin is along 89, so there is constant traffic noise, though not horrible, it can still be heard from the River.
