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.

Wonderful Place
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 and wonderful cottage!
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!

A weekend that we’llNe
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.

Love the sound of the river. Very quite - none of the houses around us had anybody there when we were there. It was a very sweet anniversary for us.
