About this house rental
This is a one of a kind property. This has historical signifigance as the Women's Wyethia Garden Club in the early 1900s, with a big beautiful meeting room, a kitchen and bathroom that over the years has been remodeled and added on to. The upstairs entry level still has the large beautiful room with a gas fireplace, a surround sound stereo system and flat screen television. The dining area is located in this large room as well. The kitchen looks into the living/dining area and has full service dish ware and appliances. The back deck looks down onto the Truckee River and has access to the lower level and yard. Walking into this large room from what looks like a small front entry is truly breathtaking. There is a gas barbeque, patio table, and chairs on the deck.
Downstairs are the two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. The master has a larger bathroom with large shower. The second bedroom has a lovely tiled bathroom and a terrific river view. Both bedrooms have private doorways to the exterior lower deck. The larger master bedroom has a flat screen television and dvd player. Full size washer and dryer are in the downstairs hallway.
I have just added a brand new king mattress and a brand new full mattress to the bedrooms, based on renters' suggestions for a more comfortable sleep. Love the Tuft and Needle mattresses! Both bedrooms now have full curtains for morning coverage....I like to wake up in the dark, but not everyone does!
Fall asleep listening to the sound of the Truckee River which is very actively flowing by. The location of this house is convenient for enjoying the charming historical aspects of downtown Truckee. A walk into town is often faster than a drive and a park! At the entrance to this one way street there is a coffee shop for a morning walk and coffee. All of the accouterments of this home are of high quality and tasteful design. All recreational activities are nearby. The home is listed with the Town of Truckee - Registration Certificate Number (RCN)1166g

Wonderful, relaxing, comfortable stay at this riverside home. Very attentive host, and well appointed home convenient to old town Truckee. The beauty of the Truckee River was always in view or earshot. We enjoyed every moment.

The house is beautiful and has many amenities. Kitchen well-equipped. However, check with the host first if there is anything listed that you are depending on to be there, as there are some things missing.
Even though there wasn’t snow, we had a lovely time in this lovely house. We would definitely enjoy visiting again!

this is a great place to stay at for your winter vacation. It’s only 10 minutes away from Northstar, and pretty much all the Truckee restaurants are in walking distance. The downstairs bedrooms are really nice and so are the attached private baths. Upstairs is a large living room area with a state of the AV entertainment system. Plus there’s a well stocked kitchen. We had a great time.

After an 11 hr drive from SF Airport where we were turned around due to snowfall an hour from Truckee on Rt 80 and had to drive over to and up Rt 50 all the way around Lake Tahoe's east side, we were rewarded with this amazing house on the river.
It's a good thing we made the effort because everything was shut down for the next two days in blizzard conditions. We enjoyed adventure walks, and precious down time with my son and his girlfriend who live in CA. 3 days of epic skiing followed.
Other than a few dated, but working, appliances in the kitchen, everything about this house was perfect. Overall newly renovated with two bedrooms with full baths with radiant floor heat and very comfortable beds. Up stairs offers a large room with a very effective gas fireplace overlooking the river with a lovely deck and grill. The driveway was just long enough to fit our two vehicles. It was cleared a couple times a day, but the whole town was overwhelmed by this rare storm so we had to do some shoveling. Dinny, the owner, could not have been more available and helpful throughout our stay. We were very happy with this rental. We hope to return next year!

This is my absolute favorite place to stay in all of Tahoe. My 3 favorite things are the location, the adorable house with a great layout and giant open living room, and that it has everything you need! And I’ll add one more, the heated bathroom floors and the steamer in the shower is amazing after a day on the mountain!

Beautiful location overlooking the river, very attractive, quiet and comfortable home. Close to town for easy walking while the mountains are right there as well.

We loved our stay here. Walking to town is great, and the river view makes you feel like it’s not too urban. Train noise is minimal in the bedrooms since they are on the bottom. Kitchen was adequate. The place could use a deep clean and better linens, but it wasn’t a problem. We really would like to stay again!

This home was WONDERFUL. I had thought it'd be cozy and small, but we found the space to be much larger than the pictures seem to indicate. There were thoughtful details around the property that enabled us to feel at home right away, like labeling the light switches, basics stocked in the kitchen, and games/puzzles.
A few things that made this place stand out are:
Location -- it is really nice to be in downtown Truckee. We visited to see the snow and it was really nice to be able to walk for coffee/meals without dealing with snow. This home really is in the heart of charming Truckee.
Radiant Heat: We visited in the winter to have snow time, and this home was so cozy and warm with radiant heat. What a difference it makes!
Set Up: Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, and there is an additional bathroom on the top level -- so nice! The layout enabled us to be together without being on top of each other. The view of the river is really lovely as well, and was a really special view you can't find many places.
Dinny was also a super-responsive host and made sure we had everything we needed. What a joy to stay here!

My family stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed this beautiful home! The house was cozy and comfortable with an upper and lower deck with beautiful river views. The location is walking distance from downtown Truckee and the River Legacy Trail, which is an easy paved hiking/biking trail that follows along the Truckee river. I would highly recommend and definitely want to stay again.

Second stay was just as good as the first!
If you want to be on top of the Truckee river and have short stroll to downtown then this is the spot.
A March weather bonus was enjoying wine and cheese on the sunny deck.

Beautiful high-end house
On the river, close to shops, coffee, sports shop and downtown Truckee. Beautiful inside. High-end everything inside, kitchen, bathrooms, living room.
Lack of extra pillows. Steep stairs not for small dogs or people with mobility issues. Waze took us in circles. Need to use different app.

Favorite house in Truckee!!
We love staying here so much and hope to keep coming back. The location in town, on the River, and so close to skiing is a dream come true. This is home away from home and we love every minute of it.

This cozy cabin is perfect for a wonderful weekend in Truckee. The location was perfect. The river runs right in the backyard and it’s absolutely beautiful! It’s literally a 5 minute walk to cute downtown but it’s also very central to the area. Skiing at Northstar and Sugarbowl was super close, only 15 minutes away!
Dinny, the host was amazing and such a sweetheart. When I had questions, she was always available to give us advice. She created such a beautiful home and we will definitely be back!

Great Stay in Truckee!
We loved Dinny's house and will definitely book again! The main room is spacious and open with a great view of the Truckee River. The kitchen was better stocked than most with extras like foil, saran wrap, spices, oils, etc. Easy walk to downtown Truckee. The house was clean and welcoming and the water pressure in the downstairs bathrooms is no joke! A great place for four people to hang out, eat, play games and watch movies while in Truckee.
