About this property

Alpine Condo on the River

  • Located just five minutes from Alpine Meadows resort and ten minutes from Olympic Valley, guests can enjoy out the door access to four seasons of recreation (there is even a pool and tennis court nearby).

    Cozy up with friends for a fun weekend away or pack up the kids for a simple weekend away by the river! Situated near the Truckee River, with miles of bike paths and hiking trails just steps from your front door, you'll also be delighted to find the Alpine Meadows Equestrian Center at your fingertips. Step out onto the balcony with river views in the morning, hop over to The River Ranch, and Crest Cafe for a hot coffee to start your day or brunch on the deck. Since the Truckee River Condo is located on the valley floor you can easily pedal into Tahoe City, even down the West Shore for miles of exploring!

    Though a traditional one bedroom with a queen bed, there is also space available for two more on the living room sofa sleeper. The dining room seats four with bar seating at the kitchen for two. Equipped with a flat-screen TV, HDTV, and high-speed Free WiFi, the condominium also boasts a covered entry for when it dumps snow, a full kitchen, and a fireplace. Duralogs only should be used in the fireplace and you will want to pick some of these up on your way into town.

    ***Please be advised that the HOA at this property has informed us that the hot tub is currently not operational and will be unavailable for an undetermined amount of time. We will update and remove this notice as soon as we receive confirmation that it is back in service.

    Thank you for your understanding.***

This is an excellent condo for skiers. It's only a few miles from the Alpine and Palisades base areas of Palisades Tahoe. The Mountaineer provides free, on-call shuttle service to the Alpine Lodge Thursday-Monday. The condo itself is modern, clean, and well-equipped. The balcony overlooks the Truckee River. The traffic on Highway 89 can be a little noisy, though. It's an easy walk to the River Ranch, a popular apres-ski bar and restaurant.

Great location - condo needs updating

While the location of the condo was great and very convenient to Alpine the condo itself was very much of need of updating. The worst part was the condition of the master bed/mattress. The bed I had in college thirty years ago was much more comfortable. This bed / mattress set might have been older than that. The carpet and couch was dirty and stained. A deep clean and and a very small investment in some inexpensive IKEA furniture would go a long way here. For the prices you're charging, it's something that's way overdue here.

Misleading advertisement

While the complex may be centrally located right off the Truckee River, this unit is on the end of the building about 150 feet off the noisy highway 89 which was very disappointing. Highway coupled with the darkness of the living room made it very uninviting. The bedroom is in the back of the unit, thankfully, so no highway noise, and also no river sounds lulling one to sleep, per their advertisement. The queen bed has a 3" thick tempurpedic pad, which we found okay, but not great. The building and unit were clean and well maintained.

Spacious, very close to alpine

Great location and the apartment is very spacious for a 1 bedroom. By the river for summer travel and very close to alpine, served by the mountaineer shuttle which is very convenient. Only issue is kitchenware is old and not super useful. Other than that, great stay

Nice location, outdated condo

The location is perfect if you plan on going to Alpine, and not far from Palisades. The only complaints we had were the lockbox was hard to get into, the bed is SUPER rock hard (luckily we found a memory foam topper under the bed) the shower curtain is dingy and needs replacing. The lamp by the patio didn’t work, and bare minimal food ware. The hot tub was nasty/not cleaned but the sauna was nice.

Not as expected

I was really disappointed with the condition of the condo. There was damage to the ceiling in the bathroom which happened due to what looks like mold issues (there was also mold residue on the tile grout). The base boards around the entire condo were filthy, especially in the bathroom. There was what looked to be dried blood spots both on the wall and picture frame in the bathroom. The only window in the condo couldn’t be opened because the shade was broken and a note was left asking that it be left down. The bed frame isn’t secured and one of the canopy beams fell on me while I was laying in bed. The smell in the condo was horrible, it smelled of mold. Overall, the amount spent on 3 nights was not worth it due to all of the issues.

clean, convenient but a little dated and noise of road (and river)

The description of the place is misleading. Yes, you see and hear the river, but you also see and hear River Road which is a main road in Tahoe and you have a view of the stoplight at Alpine Meadows Road so it's not as peaceful or nature-like as advertised. We didn't enjoy sitting on the deck as I expected to do since we heard every car and truck go by. So we ended up keeping the door closed and the curtain partly drawn so we didn't look out at the road (other half of sliding door is covered at least with a tree branch). The decor is minimalistic but functional, not cozy. Feels like a well maintained 70s condo. Comfy bed though and is very quiet in the bedroom. Good size kitchenette but again, minimal stocking of items so don't plan a big cookout. Great cafe across the road with yummy breakfast. Did not use the spa or pool which are available - looked nice though small (no lap swimming!). Confusing names as well (at least 3 names used to describe the condo but hopefully they will fix that). In all, a decent place for the price but don't expect a cozy cabin next the to woods/river experience.

Limited heat

The owner chose to limit his energy costs. The room temperature of the condo was restricted, using a remote control smart thermostat, to no higher than 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Not good for cold Tahoe winter nights.

Great location for access to Palisades

We stayed here for a ski weekend at Palisades and the place perfectly met our needs. Fully equipped kitchen to cook meals and easy access to the slopes. The only negatives were that a couple of the pots were dirty (it looked like burned on dirty, not unwashed dirty) and we couldn’t find a windshield scraper which would have been helpful to get the snow/ice off our windshield in the morning. Neither of those were deal breakers though and I still strongly recommend the place!
