LOCATION:
The Truckee River House is a riverfront retreat on the Truckee River, a blue ribbon fishery, and has a beautiful view of the river and mountains. The river is about 100 yards from the house. In addition, there are several other nice rivers and lakes nearby within 10 miles. The house is about 8 miles from Historic old town Truckee, 20 miles to the best Tahoe ski resorts, and many beautiful natural places including Donner Lake, Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe National Forest. The City of Reno and the Reno International Airport are just 30 miles away.

DESCRIPTION:
The Truckee River House is a cozy river front home with beautiful sweeping views of the Truckee River and mountains. A hidden gem in a small, secluded, and serene neighborhood. Recent modern mountain renovations and furnishings mix with vintage historic finishes from the 1890's and other renovations to create a playful mix of modern and rustic mountain style. The structure and systems have all been updated and the house is fully equipped with modern conveniences, just relax and enjoy the mountains.

FISHING YEAR ROUND
Here you will find some of the best fishing water that the Truckee River has to offer, and the river is literally right in the back of the house! Access the river at any public bridge (Hirschdale bridge is 100 yards from the house), from access points along the Tahoe Pyramid Trail which parallels the river from Lake Tahoe all the way to Pyramid Lake in Reno, or at the California Conservancy lands and other public access points (access maps available at fishing shops & online). Water access at the bridge is a five minute walk from the house - the bridge can be seen from the house. From the bridge, a short and steep dirt trail must be navigated to reach the river. There are other access points nearby with easier access. The Truckee River can be fished year round! There are also several other great fisheries nearby. Fly fishing, Skiing, Paddling, Swimming, Biking, Hiking, Climbing, Adventure, Peace, Nature, and more, all right outside the door, a true nature lovers paradise!

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION: The County has begun construction to replace two bridges in the Hirschdale neighborhood. They say construction times are restricted to daytime work hours and that noise, pollution, and traffic measures will be in place. The replacement may take up tp two years, summer 2025 to 2027. These bridges are a few hundred yards from the house and can be seen from the house. Construction may impact guests staying at this house from time to time. Pedestrian access across the bridges and river access will be provided during construction. Guests do not need to cross these bridges to access the house or other local attractions. The road beyond the bridge only provides access to the rock quarry and a few residences, it ends after about a mile and there is no parking down there, so you aren't going to miss out on anything!
NOTE: no refunds for impacts caused by construction by others.

    We had a great stay! I had never stayed in this part of Truckee before, but it was nice and secluded. The view from the living room was amazing with the river and snow covered mountains. The owner was super attentive and checked on our stay. Great house, location, and winter vacation.

    We enjoyed our time there. Plenty of room for all 10 of us plus our two well behaved dogs. This is the only rental I have found that allows enough room for all of us plus two dogs There was just a little snow around. But it’s still a very pretty view with the trees river and the trains going by across the river The house was very comfortable. Kitchen was nice size as well as all the rooms. Talked to host a couple of times. Very nice. Hope to come back again

    This is our second year staying here. Great location, beautiful view and easy access. Home is laid out nicely with room for guests in separate areas. Nicely equipped and well stocked with firewood. Plenty of dishes and space to accommodate groups comfortably for dining. We visit our kids who live nearby and appreciate the home is pet friendly and there are nice dog walk areas close by. Host is friendly and responsive. Thank you!

    Outstanding property with everything needed for an amazing week long stay over Christmas. We enjoyed this property with our adult kids and and some of our grandkids. The house was very well appointed with everything needed to enjoy our time there. The house had a phenomenal view of the Truckee River behind the house and very convenient to the 80 freeway without knowing it was just minutes away. Everything needed to cook a few of our meals was there. All nice quality as well. The bedding was extremely comfortable providing great nights sleep for all. The owner was very responsive to a few questions ahead of our stay as well as after we got there. We already looked into some dates in the summer to book another visit. After staying at multiple VRBO properties in the U.S. we found one of our favorites here.

    We have an absolutely awesome 5 day stay at the Truckee River House. Honestly, the pictures of the home just don't do it justice - it is gorgeous inside with lots of nice, high-end touches throughout. The deck on the main level has the most beautiful view of the Truckee River, perfect place to sit and drink coffee in the morning. We also had a big birthday dinner for my husband and ate on the large outdoor dining table. Super comfortable master bedroom with a beautiful bathroom. There are 2 additional bedrooms and 1 bathroom also on the main level. Downstairs was a pleasant surprise with a great room that had a pool table, fridge, bar, slider to the backyard area, as well as a nice sized bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen is beautiful, with reclaimed wood cabinets, and nice amenities (I forgot to bring seasonings but there was a cabinet full of options). Lots of good quality dishes and glassware, enough for our group of 8 easily. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and although there was construction going on at the bridge at the end of the street, the noise from the site was not too bad when sitting outside. Overall, just a wonderful stay at this home and we will definitely plan to rent this property again!

    Beautiful property with a terrific view of the Truckee River off the back of the house. Back patio deck was great for outdoor meals and being immersed in the natural surroundings. Very well appointed kitchen with virtually everything you could possibly need to cook gourmet meals. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were updated and clean. Short drive away from Truckee and Lake Tahoe, with close airport access in Reno. Highly recommend this home.

    We really enjoyed the property—it was clean, spacious, and in a great location. The only drawback was the lack of air conditioning, which made it uncomfortable to sleep during the summer. The nights were fairly still, so even with the windows open, it didn’t cool down much. This might not be an issue in cooler seasons, but it’s something to consider for summer stays. Also, for larger groups, a few extra towels would be helpful. Overall, a lovely place with just a couple of things that could make it even better!

    The house is well taken care of and in a beautiful location. I communicated with the property owner a few times before we arrived and he was always quick to respond.We stayed here with extended family which included four kids ages 6-9. The kids had a great time playing in the yard and “hiking” down to the river.

The layout of the house made it perfect for our mult-family stay. The directions and labels throughout the house made it very accommodating and easy to use (technology, heat/air, etc). This house is perfect if you’re looking for a serene get away with your family!

Check in, check out and house rules are very clear and given in a timely manner.There are plenty of amenities in the home.It took us a bit to find a safe way down to the river but once we did, it was beautiful and fun for the little ones.

    Perfect! Grateful we were able to experience the Truckee and what the area has to offer while staying at this retreat. You don’t just have the spectacular view and sound of the river, you have a nature path access from the deck to it. There was plenty of room and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The couches were also very comfortable which is hard to tell from the photos. The kitchen was well equipped and clean as was the rest of the house. We would advise soled slippers or socks with rubber sticky bottoms, the lower floor can be a bit slick with regular socks. The house is easy to get to and was an easy checkin, and out. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Both the upstairs and downstairs had plenty of room for 8 people to gather together and in groups. The kitchen is well equipped and large enough for multiple people to work at the same time.
