Beautiful Lake Home
House is so spacious and beautiful. Riaz is very prompt with his responses and accommodating to the changes with my reservation. Check in, check out and house rules are very clear and given in a timely manner.There are plenty of amenities in the home.It took us a bit to find a safe way down to the river but once we did, it was beautiful and fun for the little ones. About a 30 min driving distance to Lake Tahoe and/or Reno. Would definitely stay again!Thank you Riaz.

Very Nice
This I think is our third time staying. We are parents and grandparents. That included 8 of us. Lots of room for all of us. Though the weather wasnāt what we were looking forward to we all had a great time. Kitchen has all a family could use. Beds were comfy too. The house has had a nice update with a new kitchen theme New paint in the living area has given it a new vibe.

Truckee reunion
Perfect!
Grateful we were able to experience the Truckee and what the area has to offer while staying at this retreat.
You donāt just have the spectacular view and sound of the river, you have a nature path access from the deck to it.
There was plenty of room and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The couches were also very comfortable which is hard to tell from the photos. The kitchen was well equipped and clean as was the rest of the house. We would advise soled slippers or socks with rubber sticky bottoms, the lower floor can be a bit slick with regular socks.
The house is easy to get to and was an easy checkin, and out.
Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great house with beautiful view
Great quiet location, with view of the river and mountains. Nice yard for outdoor games, and our gang loved the pool table. Both the upstairs and downstairs had plenty of room for 8 people to gather together and in groups. The kitchen is well equipped and large enough for multiple people to work at the same time. The owner was very responsive and provided plenty of information to make our stay comfortable. Loved the old fireplace and skis on the wall. Would come again.

Nice Home on the River
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It is nicely appointed, and the views of the river are great. It does take a bit to get to the river, but there is a trail with just as little bushwhacking needed. Overall a great stay.

LOVELY PLACE!!
This property is as lovely as the pictures show. So peaceful and the views are amazing. Sitting out at the gazebo was amazing while listening to the wind through the trees and the water flowing in the river.
At dusk driving arou d you can see some of the wildlife come out for the night.
We came during a heatwave, which was all week long, but during the night when it cooled down with the windows open the house cooled right down and with fans running was lovely the rest of the day.
We had to contact the owner about a couple of things and he was right on top of it all to get it resolved as quickly as possible.
Within just a little drive there was a ton of things to see and do. Truckee is a great little town. Went to Reno a couple times through the week, drove around Lake Tahoe which had some many fun little spots to stop at. The tram at the olympic village is an awesome and an absolute must!!
You will not regret renting this place!! The whole trip I just kept repeating "Oh thats beautiful."

Weekend getaway.
House was pretty well stocked with the essentials and had lots of seating and places to hangout. Perfect directions, easy check in, comfortable beds and a great location and house overall. If I am being extra picky or had any extra notes to add.. we could have used an extra towel or two in the bathrooms ( As a woman, I like two myself) and the downstairs bathroom was separate from the bedroom (is this still considered a master?)⦠We loved this house and would love to stay here again. Thank you to the host for making our trip smooth and providing a great experience!
