Historic Truckee River House

This is our second year staying at this riverfront property. We love the location on the flowing river. It is a short walk into town as well as some beautiful trails across the river on the new iron bridge a few houses to the west. Northstar is a 20 minute drive. The house was clean and well organized. We love the wide open common area. The bedrooms has stunning views, and the bathrooms are clean and new with heated floors.

We first stayed in this VRBO in January 2026. We absolutely fell in love with it so much that we stayed two more multi night stays in early and late February to complete our winter ski trips. Needless to say it’s a great place. Very comfortable and cozy. Perfect location right in town, right on the river and close to the ski resorts. Dinny is a great host and we hope she continues to make her place available in the future. We will be back.

I can't count how many times we've stayed at the Truckee River House but I know I'll keep going back!Dinny goes out of her way to make sure her guests are ok and prepared for anything. Recently we were faced with a snow storm and closed highways. Dinny checked in with us every step of the way.

Spacious and charming, beautiful setting and great location. Can't ask for more. Dinny was responsive and helpful.Would gladly return.

What an amazing place! We could not have had a more enjoyable stay. The location along the river, the living space, the two bedrooms all as described and reviewed by others. One observation I would add is that the master bed was so comfortable. Sleep comfort is something we use as a filter in our choice of accommodations. This bed was one of the best in our many stays over the years (We did not occupy the secondary bedroom so we can’t comment there but I am sure its bed is equally as comfortable). Dinny is an amazing host. She was easily available to deal with a minor issue that arose due to the frigid weather we encountered. Her team responded in a timely manner and our stay was not impacted. We really appreciated having a host who went the extra mile to ensure our experience was the best it could possibly be even when Mother Nature threw a little curve. Thanks Dinny.

This is our third time staying here, and it's as wonderful as ever. The house and location can't be beat. The view (and sound) of the river is amazing. Everything about the space is super comfortable, and the kitchen is really well equipped. We also appreciate the short walk to old town Truckee.

Dinny was very welcoming and communicative. The house was very comfortable, well stocked, and nicely appointed with great bathrooms and kitchen. We were there in the winter but the river access in the summer must be terrific!

Great location on the river and quick walk to everything Truckee!

location was terrific, close to great walks and farmers market on tuesday. also lovely to walk to restaurants nearby. the house was fantastic and communicating with the owner was super easy. this house is definitely on our list to return to for many years to come.

We loved our stay at Dinny's cabin on the river! Access to the new section of the Legacy Trail just across the river was a 2 min walk down the street and perfect for morning and evening walks with our dog. As pictured below, our pup loved relaxing on the deck overlooking the river as much as we did. Awesome bakeries, cafes, restaurants and shops were steps away. We spent our down time relaxing in the open and airy great room, appreciated all closet and drawer spaces in the bedrooms to unpack and settle in and loved the updated bathrooms with great showers. Dinny was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back to the Historic Truckee River House!

Perfect location next to Truckee river and just 5 min walk from “everything” in Truckee. You can really tell that this location was a “home first and foremost”, that gets Vrbo’d out to guests. Everything inside is REALLY nice. You will love it here!

Fantastic place right on the Truckee River. I come here as often as I can!

And go to sleep with same sound since the Truckee River runs next to the backyard, one of many special extras at this house. It is more like a house than an apartment, with three bathrooms, three decks, an expansive livingroom and a kitchen that accomodates more than one cook. Very fast Internet, too. Needless to say, we had a great time. Kudos also to Dinny, who is considerate and always available -- a wonderful hostess. Howard & Diana plus Two

Couldn’t ask for anything better!

Beautiful home. Very quiet and peaceful on the river. Dinny was wonderful to work with and responded very quickly!

This gorgeous property is even more beautiful than the pictures on VRBO. Morning coffee ( from Dark Horse Coffe down the road) on the deck started our day. You can literally walk in 5 minutes to the cute downtown of Truckee with a plethora of eateries and cute shops. You can fish in the river behind the house which was our favorite!

We stayed at the River House for my husband's birthday weekend. We enjoyed a day of sunshine, followed by two mornings of snow! When you first arrive at the River House, it seems like a cozy little cabin, but once you open the door, you're greeted by a spacious open-concept room filled with windows that offer stunning views of the beautiful trees and flowing river.The house was immaculate, and the two bedrooms downstairs were spacious with their own dedicated bathrooms. There's also a full bathroom upstairs, which is convenient so you don't have to run downstairs. Truckee is a fantastic weekend destination with a lively atmosphere and plenty of great restaurants.We always looked forward to returning to the River House to enjoy a glass of wine by the fire. Our host was quick to respond to any questions we had, and I want to extend a personal thank you to Dinny for being such an accommodating host! We look forward to our next visit!

The house has a great location to walking to downtown Truckee. The house has an amazing great room that looks out onto the river. This is a great place to stay.

Spring break for our son so we spent the week in Truckee! Enjoyed the stay and the location! Very clean and well maintained!

The location was incredible, we loved being able to walk to the coffee shops and restaurants nearby, and also to the paved Truckee River walk. The river was an amazing sound to fall asleep to at night. We will absolutely be visiting again!

We had a great break in this warm and welcoming home by the river. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a base to explore the area and have shops, bakeries and restaurants a couple minutes’ walk away.

Beautiful house with a great view of the Truckee river. Well equipped kitchen and beautiful decor. Loved the open design of the upstairs. Very comfortable and enjoyed spending many hours just staying at home.

I just loved staying here so warm and cozy and love being right on the river. can not recommend this home enough, would love to stay here again. The owner was very nice and could not be more accommodating. Loved to be able just to walk to town.

This is a beautiful, comfortable home with modern amenities and a wonderful location.

Had a really great 3-night stay at this awesome property. Incredible location, easily walkable to everything downtown. The river was such a peaceful and beautiful backdrop…from relaxing on the deck with morning coffee to falling asleep to the sound of the water rushing by. Communication with the host was wonderful. Would definitely recommend this property, and can’t wait to go back.

Great location! Plenty of room! Relaxing

I can't say enough great things about this place! One of the few rentals that feel like it's built for real people to stay there (versus just for a weekend). So much space, lots of lights, great AC situation, etc. And so magical to have the river right there!! And Dinny was awesome and incredibly fast and thoughtful. Would 100% go back!

Listening to the sound of the river has always been one of my most favorite things to do. And being that this wonderful house is right on the river was very special. The house has everything you need clean comfortable beds. We just had a wonderful stay.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. Great location, close walking distance to many restaurants and coffee shops. Backyard with Truckee river is amazing for relaxing during during the day and stargazing during the night. House has many upgrades including great audio system, modern bathrooms with a steam room, kitchen with everything you may need

Quiet spot on the river and a few minutes walk to downtown. Best of both worlds

Perfect little house on the river, walk to town for shopping, restaurants etc. Can't wait to return!
