About this property

Squaw Valley Truckee River Estate

Just 2 miles from Squaw Valley Ski Resort.
Over the bridge and down the river from Squaw Valley is a beautiful example of an 'old style' Truckee River home, located at river's edge. Go to sleep to the sound of the river and awaken to start your hike, bike or run from right outside your door. From the kitchen and dinning rooms, one gazes up the river canyon, scouting river activity. The deck and hot tub are perched above the river. Imagine soaking under the stars while listening to the sounds of the raging water? The living room is large, perfect for a gathering around a wood stove. There are two cozy master suites downstairs one with a king size bed, the other with a queen, three charming bedrooms upstairs with flexible bedding arrangements and three and a half bathrooms. The neighborhood is private and quiet. Perfect for long walks in the woods. 'The River House' is a unique mountain experience!
The generous farmhouse kitchen has a cozy breakfast nook, skylights, wood floors and an adjoining formal dining room overlooking the river, perfect for casual family style dinners or elegant affairs. There's a private washer/dryer accessible through a covered walkway.
Parking for 5 cars, including the attached carport. Oh, and the fly fishing is outstanding...but don't tell anyone :)

Fantastic Location & Amenities

Communication with host was great from start to finish. House exceeded expectations with a very well equipped kitchen and a large hot tub. This perfect ski house is along the river in a very safe area and minutes from Tahoe Palisades. Plenty of room for a large group - we were a family of 10 and it never felt crowded. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again in the future.

Perfect Palisades Ski House

The property was perfect for our family’s annual ski trip. It has a big, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and a great spa overlooking the river. The VRBO photos are accurate. Don’t miss this jewel of a mountain cabin.

Fantastic house with thoughtful extras

The house was amazing! Absolutely beautiful, spacious interior and incredible views of the river. The furnishings were attractive with a mountain-cabin vibe, and the beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was the best, though, roomy with a breakfast nook and stocked with everything you might need, including many thoughtful extras like spices and garbage bags. My group of 7 adults loved it. We would book this house again, for sure.

Cozy house in the woods

Family of 4 staying 4 nights for ski trip to Palisades. Very charming/cozy, a bit quirky, house in the woods on the Truckee river. Hot tub on the river bank easily the star of the show. Lots of space/bedrooms - perfect for two families. Lots of books and games; newly remodeled kitchen extremely well stocked. House itself could use some TLC - paint touch up, railing and lighting fixes. W/D is in a separate room accessed from the outside. Very well located - easy to run into Palisades village to pick up dinner.

Great stay and location!

Very cozy house with a wonderful location near Palisades Tahoe. Allowed our group to ski very easily without a long drive in the morning. Loved the kitchen and dining room that wrapped around the large family room — all these spaces made for great environments to hang out and make memories!

We had room to prepare for the wedding, room for the kids to hang out, and lots of space for the cousins to play The hot tub on the deck overlooking the river was incredible, And falling asleep to the sound of the rushing river was so peaceful

Great location, great house for a friends trip

The house was perfectly placed for a ski trip with some friends from out of town. It fit ten of us comfortably. We loved how the kitchen was open to the dining room and living room so we could all hangout while of us were cooking or recovering from a long ski day.

This house is amazing! So close to the base and right next to a beautiful creek. The living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen are spacious. The hosts were communicative and had the house ready to go for us after a long ski day. Photos don’t do it justice, will definitely stay again!

Wonderful stay!

Our family had a lovely stay here. The property is close to the Palisades, and it's right along the riverbank (which was lovely to wake up to every day). The house was well stocked, and we used the kitchen a lot - esp for cooking Xmas dinner. The kids loved it. The hosts were very communicative. Thank you for a great holiday stay!

Great Place

The house was great. Super close to Palisades. I was worried about having to drive over the small bridge, but the bridge was fine, and even with 4 ft of fresh snow, the snow was removed super quick. I would definitely stay there again.

New Years Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at the River House over New Years. It was the perfect place for our two families to meet up for skiing, sitting in front of the fire and cooking big dinners. The house is in an amazing location and has easy access to everything North Lake Tahoe has to offer. We hope to come back here again.
