About this property

Historic Truckee River House

This is a one of a kind property. This has historical signifigance as the Women's Wyethia Garden Club in the early 1900s, with a big beautiful meeting room, a kitchen and bathroom that over the years has been remodeled and added on to. The upstairs entry level still has the large beautiful room with a gas fireplace, a surround sound stereo system and flat screen television. The dining area is located in this large room as well. The kitchen looks into the living/dining area and has full service dish ware and appliances. The back deck looks down onto the Truckee River and has access to the lower level and yard. Walking into this large room from what looks like a small front entry is truly breathtaking. There is a gas barbeque, patio table, and chairs on the deck.

Downstairs are the two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. The master has a larger bathroom with large shower. The second bedroom has a lovely tiled bathroom and a terrific river view. Both bedrooms have private doorways to the exterior lower deck. The larger master bedroom has a flat screen television and dvd player. Full size washer and dryer are in the downstairs hallway.

I have just added a brand new king mattress and a brand new full mattress to the bedrooms, based on renters' suggestions for a more comfortable sleep. Love the Tuft and Needle mattresses! Both bedrooms now have full curtains for morning coverage....I like to wake up in the dark, but not everyone does!

Fall asleep listening to the sound of the Truckee River which is very actively flowing by. The location of this house is convenient for enjoying the charming historical aspects of downtown Truckee. A walk into town is often faster than a drive and a park! At the entrance to this one way street there is a coffee shop for a morning walk and coffee. All of the accouterments of this home are of high quality and tasteful design. All recreational activities are nearby. The home is listed with the Town of Truckee - Registration Certificate Number (RCN)1166g

Perfect location next to Truckee river and just 5 min walk from “everything” in Truckee. You can really tell that this location was a “home first and foremost”, that gets Vrbo’d out to guests. Everything inside is REALLY nice. You will love it here!

We loved our stay at Dinny's cabin on the river! Access to the new section of the Legacy Trail just across the river was a 2 min walk down the street and perfect for morning and evening walks with our dog. As pictured below, our pup loved relaxing on the deck overlooking the river as much as we did. Awesome bakeries, cafes, restaurants and shops were steps away. We spent our down time relaxing in the open and airy great room, appreciated all closet and drawer spaces in the bedrooms to unpack and settle in and loved the updated bathrooms with great showers. Dinny was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back to the Historic Truckee River House!

Perfect Location!

The location was incredible, we loved being able to walk to the coffee shops and restaurants nearby, and also to the paved Truckee River walk. The river was an amazing sound to fall asleep to at night. We will absolutely be visiting again!

Wake up to Sound of River

And go to sleep with same sound since the Truckee River runs next to the backyard, one of many special extras at this house. It is more like a house than an apartment, with three bathrooms, three decks, an expansive livingroom and a kitchen that accomodates more than one cook. Very fast Internet, too. Needless to say, we had a great time. Kudos also to Dinny, who is considerate and always available -- a wonderful hostess. Howard & Diana plus Two

Perfect home in town for a family

We had a great break in this warm and welcoming home by the river. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a base to explore the area and have shops, bakeries and restaurants a couple minutes’ walk away.
