Ask a questionAbout Riaz Finnemore
I'm an avid skier, hiker, biker, paddler, and fly fisher. I love the mountains where I enjoy these activities, nature, peace and quiet, and the great outdoors. I invite you to stay at my home, I will try and provide you with everything you need to have a great vacation!
Riaz Finnemore purchased this House in 2002
Why Riaz Finnemore chose Truckee
I spotted this hidden gem of a house while fly fishing the Truckee River many years ago. Not only is it on the best stretch of the river for fishing, it's in a great location with easy access from the bay area or the Reno airport. The neighborhood is small, secluded and quiet. Access to the best stretch of river, nature, and a ton of activities are right outside the door - no car required!
What makes this House unique
The most obvious benefit of this house is it's location on the river. The Truckee River is literally right in the back yard, there are only a handful of vacation rentals right on the river and this is one of the best due to the quiet location, amazing views, and top notch fishing. There are really nice roads and trails right out the front door for walking, running, biking, and sometimes even cross country skiing! The newly completed Tahoe Pyramid trail runs right by the house and is great for biking, hiking, and river access. Other trails near the house go along the river for a few miles and provide access to different spots on the river as well as great views. Boca Reservoir is just a couple miles up the road, and is great for boating, fishing, swimming, paddling, SUP, camping, biking, etc. If you are into biking, there are lots of good roads and mountain bike trails that can be accessed right from the house. River paddlers often put in at this location because of the wild and scenic float, and the best rapids on the Truckee are couple miles down stream. Fishing is also best on this section of the river, because it is more wild and scenic and benefits from additional water from Boca Reservoir, Prosser Reservoir, and other feeder streams. If you like to be the first one or last one on the river, nothing beats staying on the river! If you enjoy skiing then you will enjoy easy access to the best resorts, this location allows you to avoid all the traffic going to Lake Tahoe. The house is close to I80, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Reno Airport for an easy trip from home. If you enjoy a quiet and natural environment with lots of outdoor activities right outside the door, then this is the place for you!
