About this property

Squaw Valley Truckee River Estate

Just 2 miles from Squaw Valley Ski Resort.
Over the bridge and down the river from Squaw Valley is a beautiful example of an 'old style' Truckee River home, located at river's edge. Go to sleep to the sound of the river and awaken to start your hike, bike or run from right outside your door. From the kitchen and dinning rooms, one gazes up the river canyon, scouting river activity. The deck and hot tub are perched above the river. Imagine soaking under the stars while listening to the sounds of the raging water? The living room is large, perfect for a gathering around a wood stove. There are two cozy master suites downstairs one with a king size bed, the other with a queen, three charming bedrooms upstairs with flexible bedding arrangements and three and a half bathrooms. The neighborhood is private and quiet. Perfect for long walks in the woods. 'The River House' is a unique mountain experience!
The generous farmhouse kitchen has a cozy breakfast nook, skylights, wood floors and an adjoining formal dining room overlooking the river, perfect for casual family style dinners or elegant affairs. There's a private washer/dryer accessible through a covered walkway.
Parking for 5 cars, including the attached carport. Oh, and the fly fishing is outstanding...but don't tell anyone :)

Family weekend
We were in town for a family wedding and this property was perfect for our family. We had room to prepare for the wedding, room for the kids to hang out, and lots of space for the cousins to play The hot tub on the deck overlooking the river was incredible, And falling asleep to the sound of the rushing river was so peaceful

Great stay and location!
Very cozy house with a wonderful location near Palisades Tahoe. Allowed our group to ski very easily without a long drive in the morning. Loved the kitchen and dining room that wrapped around the large family room — all these spaces made for great environments to hang out and make memories!

Family ski trip
We loved the location close to Palisade and the beautiful Truckee River right outside your door! The kitchen was well stocked and we loved sitting at the large table for dinner and in the morning sipping coffee at the smaller table both of which have windows all around to see the beautiful winter scenery! The rooms worked well for our group and beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed looking at all the art,photos and books throughout the house. We all agreed we would come back again if the opportunity ever arises, we would love ove to come back in the summer sometime!

Amazing house near palisades!
This house is amazing! So close to the base and right next to a beautiful creek. The living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen are spacious. The hosts were communicative and had the house ready to go for us after a long ski day. Photos don’t do it justice, will definitely stay again!

2nd time here
A group of 4 older skiers, we really appreciate this place. Stayed here last year and loved it--plenty of room, nice accommodations, great spaces to hang out, very complete kitchen, and great hot tub overlooking the Truckee river. What's not to like?

Amazing stay with great location and home

Great location, great house for a friends trip
The house was perfectly placed for a ski trip with some friends from out of town. It fit ten of us comfortably. We loved how the kitchen was open to the dining room and living room so we could all hangout while of us were cooking or recovering from a long ski day.

Great house, great location and lots of room
Overall our stay and experience was good. Advertised having an outdoor grill however due to California fire restrictions, not able to use it. Some cookware could be updated. Otherwise well stocked. Owners representative was responsive to questions.

Wonderful stay!
Our family had a lovely stay here. The property is close to the Palisades, and it's right along the riverbank (which was lovely to wake up to every day). The house was well stocked, and we used the kitchen a lot - esp for cooking Xmas dinner. The kids loved it. The hosts were very communicative. Thank you for a great holiday stay!

Rat poop galore!
The inside was decent, not clean to my liking, but it was OK. However, outside of the one door to get to the carport is covered in rat poop! It is all over the walkway, and the doormat is covered in it. To the point where my grandkids coming in and out, we’re getting in the house, very disgusting! There was a technical issue as far as VRBO went with not sending me actual notifications when the owner messaged me, but instead of the owner calling on the landline or calling my cell phone or simply walking over from where they live, he chose to leave me a nasty comment, as well as tell me he was getting in touch with Vrbo Over a different technical issue or misunderstanding. In the other item is whoever I was dealing with for this property had absolutely no personality. They did not send a nice thank you for renting the property when I first rented it they were very to the point with no personality at all. I will definitely keep this in mind. The next time I go to rent a place on VRBO as far as how the owner of the property responds to my request to rent.

Absolutely LOVED our time at this home
This house was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Everyone had space to spread out and have their solo time, and also could come together in the large common areas to hang out. The hot tub was the best! We came right after there had been some huge snow storms, so we didn’t get to see any of the deck outside, except for the part where the hot tub was. But we didn’t need the deck. We enjoyed warming up inside with the fireplace, cooking meals together, and taking the very short drive to Palisades. I would love to stay here again in the future. Thank you for providing your home to us and helping us create such special memories there.

Riverside VRBO
We had a great time at the VRBO. The fireplace and Hot Tub were popular winners, after days of hard skiing! Lots of snow made for interesting parking, not much room to turn around. The location right on the Truckee River was superb. Thanks!

Excellent stay for a family winter wedding
An exceptionally well equipped and comfortable home in which to stay for a week . The beds and bedrooms were excellent. There was plenty of space for 10 people in the kitchen , lounge and dining room . Despite the unprecedented accumulation of snow and snow fall during the week of our stay Jim did a great job of keeping the road over number 2 Bridge accessible so we could get to our son’s wedding .

Great Place
The house was great. Super close to Palisades. I was worried about having to drive over the small bridge, but the bridge was fine, and even with 4 ft of fresh snow, the snow was removed super quick. I would definitely stay there again.

Best House & Location- didn’t mind the heavy snow!
Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Just so you know we love to cook so we always bring our own pots and pans ,dish soap etc… As soon as we check the kitchen OMG !!! This house has everything !!! from the largest frying pan to the smallest toothpick , it’s all there. Without a doubt , our favorite place to stay. The view is mesmerizing , the house is right by the river. We mainly sit at the kitchen nook enjoying the peaceful environment. Will definitely recommend this place, perfect for family. Thank you Jim and Lucinda !

Family Friendly Winter Get A Way
This cabin was a perfect size for our family and watching the river swell and the snow transform the landscape around us was incredible! The views from the kitchen are fantastic and the view from all the bedroom windows gave us a special treat each morning when the snow would create a winter wonderland! We hope to come back soon!!

Wonderful charming home
Beautiful house on the Truckee river. We loved how it felt like a home rather than a house with eclectic art, generous supplies, and an excellent book collection. Hot tub was clean and hot. Access well maintained and easy to drive. Beautiful kitchen made it fun to cook and eat in. We were thrilled to be there for our Christmas break. Thanks
