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.

Family Reunion
A wonderful house with a great location. The view from the deck of the river and mountains was breathtaking. There was a trail to the river (challenging for an 80 year old) that was fun for dipping and fly fishing. The kitchen was well equipped and our meals on the deck were great.

Great getaway
Great place to get away and relax, close enough to Reno, but far enough away to feel out of the city. Great setup with rooms and common areas, and the furniture and built-ins are a perfect aesthetic. The separate bar area downstairs is a great way to be able to separate groups if needed. A great property overall.

Perfect Weekend Getaway in Truckee
We had a fantastic long weekend in Truckee! The house was very clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. The neighborhood was peaceful, and the views were stunning. It was also conveniently located just a 30-minute drive to Reno, where we attended a UNR commencement and caught a baseball game. Highly recommend this rental for a relaxing getaway.

Weekend getaway.
House was pretty well stocked with the essentials and had lots of seating and places to hangout. Perfect directions, easy check in, comfortable beds and a great location and house overall. If I am being extra picky or had any extra notes to add.. we could have used an extra towel or two in the bathrooms ( As a woman, I like two myself) and the downstairs bathroom was separate from the bedroom (is this still considered a master?)… We loved this house and would love to stay here again. Thank you to the host for making our trip smooth and providing a great experience!
