About this property
Riverfront Cottage 5 Minutes from Palisades Tahoe 10 minutes to Lake Tahoe
Charming riverfront cottage that offers adventures for all seasons, whether it's hitting the slopes of Squaw Valley or heading to the crystal blue waters of Lake Tahoe -- both are only 10 minutes away! Nestled among the trees, with the river rushing by, this cottage lends an atmosphere of a remote getaway, while being close to it all.
This cottage offers 2 bedrooms, with a jack and jill full bathroom (w/ shower) in between. The main bedroom has a queen bed and the second bedroom has a queen sofa bed. Each bedroom has its own, separate entrance for privacy. The cottage was updated November 2022, with new floors, bed and furniture.
Please note there is NO KITCHEN, but coffee maker, mini fridge (with freezer), and microwave are provided. Plates, bowls, mugs, and silverware are also provided for your convenience. Celebrating a special event? Champagne glasses and corkscrew at the ready!
WE HAVE WIFI!!! For the most part, WIFI is reliable. Please just keep in mind that it may be finicky dependent upon weather conditions. There is a sitting area in the 2nd bedroom that works great as a workspace, if needed.
Guest access Guests will access the home via Lockbox. Guest parking is limited to 2 vehicles. It should also be noted that you share a driveway with another house so please be respectful and do not block their access.
The cottage is EASILY ACCESSIBLE DURING SNOW SEASON!!! It is directly across the Truckee River from Highway 89 – which gets top priority with the snowplows. During snow season, our entire street (and driveway) is plowed first thing each morning – it is plowed by a resident of our street, so no waiting for the snowplow to arrive! You'll be the first to hit the slopes!
Other things to note Just up the road from our cottage is the Truckee River Bike Path to Tahoe City and Squaw Valley Village. The Village has wonderful shops and delicious restaurants.
Our cottage is a skiing and snowboarding dream, we are located 5 minutes from Squaw Valley Ski Resort, Alpine Meadows only 10 minutes away. During snow season, our entire street is plowed first thing each morning – it is plowed by a resident of our street, so no waiting for the snowplow to arrive! You'll be the first to hit the slopes!
The North Tahoe Area has so much to offer in terms of hiking, biking, fishing, golf and delicious restaurants. All of which are easily within reach from this location!
In keeping with the quiet tranquility of this setting, we ask that guests be respectful of neighbors and keep noise to a minimum. Parties and large gatherings are not allowed.

Everything you could want and more in the cabin - peaceful and friendly location away from the hustle of Tahoe but only a quick 5-10 min drive to the center of Taho. Such a great place we will be back again!
Loved this little historic cabin with an outstanding location to enjoy the Truckee River and Tahoe nearby. We appreciated the cabin decor and the comfortable seating outside next to the gorgeous rushing river. Communication and check-in was super easy.
Stayed for 3 Nights with my son and best friend. Was a lovely spot on the river. Close to the lake and incredible hiking. Clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!
Loved our stay! Small cottage, just what we were looking for. And the Truckee River is Right There!! Had my morning tea watching the sun rise over the trees and river every morning.Very clean and well cared for. The weather turned in us from summer warm to thunderstorms at night. We were warm & cozy listening to it. Great location - close to the river walk, rafting and Tahoe City. Yet not to close. Quiet peaceful location.
Hans the property owner was an excellent communicator—he went above and beyond to answer my questions. There was record snowfall prior to our arrival and the snow removal and attention to the property was top notch. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in for a vrbo. Highly recommend you book any of the properties Hans owns. We hope to stay again soon!
Loved it. Modernized and very comfortable, with enough “Old Tahoe” touches remaining to be great fun. Very responsive and conscientious hosts. Quiet and relaxing with the river next door. Never had a better Tahoe stay. Convenient location to all that Tahoe offers.
Great location on Truckee River .Cottage extremely dated.Could use bathroom upgrade to plumbing.And exterior sealing for bug prevention.Maybe add a sink for doing dishes.With some minor upgrades could really be good.
You can’t beat this location for both beauty and convenience and not crazy crowded. We enjoyed 2 nights prior to the 4th of July and we were so glad we were staying here vs by the lake. It was quiet and convenient to restaurants. The Truckee River runs in the backyard and it’s so nice to sit by it for drinks and food. The 2 main rooms ( bedroom and family room) are ample size, modern and have everything you need. I will agree with other reviews that the bathroom could use an upgrade. The shower is extremely small but there is plenty of counter space. Hans, the owner, was very easy to work with and super communicative. He was staying in the area so we had a chance to chat with him. He was helpful with our biking path and restaurant questions. I definitely recommend this place.
This place has a grill, but doesn’t have a kitchen to prepare the food. Washing dishes or cooking anything else that’s not grill able is difficult. The bathroom is old and needs work. Lots of spiders inside and no thermostat to control the temperature, just a portable heater
We had the best time! The location was perfect for getting to the mountain and Tahoe City. The cabin was adorable and exactly as described. It was the perfect getaway!
This charming cottage is in a quiet and peaceful setting, surrounded by aspen trees and a front view seat of the Truckee River. It has that feeling of nature that immediately puts you at ease, at least it did for us. The cottage is a perfect place for a couple. Their second rental property allows you to invite loved ones and have plenty of space between the two properties. If you have a California fishing license, it’s just a few steps and you’re right on the river and we even caught fish! This was everything we were looking for when planning an elopement. Hans and Karen were kind enough to let us elope on the property, and we married on the lawn right in front of river. It was everything we could have hoped for and more for our special day.
