We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It is nicely appointed, and the views of the river are great. It does take a bit to get to the river, but there is a trail with just as little bushwhacking needed. Overall a great stay.

This property is as lovely as the pictures show. So peaceful and the views are amazing. Sitting out at the gazebo was amazing while listening to the wind through the trees and the water flowing in the river. At dusk driving arou d you can see some of the wildlife come out for the night. We came during a heatwave, which was all week long, but during the night when it cooled down with the windows open the house cooled right down and with fans running was lovely the rest of the day. We had to contact the owner about a couple of things and he was right on top of it all to get it resolved as quickly as possible. Within just a little drive there was a ton of things to see and do. Truckee is a great little town. Went to Reno a couple times through the week, drove around Lake Tahoe which had some many fun little spots to stop at. The tram at the olympic village is an awesome and an absolute must!! You will not regret renting this place!! The whole trip I just kept repeating "Oh thats beautiful."

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.
