About the property

Experience a rare riverfront mountain retreat located directly on the Truckee River near Tahoe City. Positioned at the beginning of the final rapids of the famous Tahoe City float route, this exceptional home offers a unique combination of outdoor adventure, relaxation, and year-round access to some of Tahoe’s most sought-after destinations.

The property features a private riverfront lawn, beach area, and expansive deck overlooking the river and rapids, creating an unforgettable setting for gathering with family and friends. During the summer months, guests can walk or bike upstream and float back down the river directly to the home for a classic Tahoe experience. Nearby outfitters in Tahoe City offer raft and tube rentals for the scenic float route.

Located directly beside the Truckee River bike path, the home provides easy access to miles of paved trail for biking, walking, and running along the river corridor. Included 6 bikes make it simple to explore the surrounding area, ride into Tahoe City, or enjoy the scenic river trail.

Inside, the home is designed for comfort and connection, with open-concept living spaces, large windows, and natural light throughout. The living room, dining area, and kitchen flow seamlessly together, creating an inviting environment for shared meals, relaxing evenings, and gathering after a day outdoors.

The home comfortably accommodates up to 11 guests and is especially well suited for families and group getaways.

Sleeping Arrangements
• Primary Bedroom — Queen bed with river views and an ensuite bathroom featuring a clawfoot soaking tub
• Bedroom 2 — Queen bed with river views
• Bedroom 3 — Custom bunk room with five twin-over-queen bunk beds sleeping up to 10 guests

Outdoor living is one of the highlights of the property. Guests can relax on the large deck overlooking the river and rapids, gather around the oversized outdoor dining table, enjoy meals outside, or spend time beside the water on the private lawn and beach area. Some of the best fishing access on the Truckee River is just steps from the property.

Whether spending the day floating the river, biking scenic trails, skiing nearby mountains, fishing, or simply relaxing beside the water, the home offers a peaceful and memorable Tahoe experience in every season.

Wonderful river front cabin with a large private shoreline off the spacious well-furnished back patio. Tall ceilings and great windows showcase river front access. The Truckee River biking/walking trail is right out the front door meandering along the river and bikes were provided! The home was very comfortable and relaxing. We enjoy cooking and greatly appreciated spices, oil, coffee creamer and oil and well stocked kitchen. There was a plant in the master bathroom, and we hope it continues to get the TLC it deserves. This home was beyond special and will forever be remembered. - A huge thank you to the owners for sharing their home and to Lori for being such an amazing host, she truly cares about her clients and guests.

AWESOME!!!!!!! Absolutely loved our week in Tahoe at Lori's property right on the Truckee River... fishing, tubing, right out your back door! Plenty of bikes provided for the whole family to jump right on the bike/run/walk path 20 feet out the front door! So convenient to everything! Beautiful setting, absolutely one of the best equipped properties we have ever stayed at! Lori is sweet and so quick to respond to any questions... would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in this area.

We had an amazing stay at this property! The house and surroundings were perfect! The house itself was even more beautiful than the pictures, which is a rare find! It was so clean and incredibly well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed to make great meals that we enjoyed on the gorgeous deck. We all had a blast watching the rafters float by and the kids loved playing in the river and catching crawdads! Lori was a fantastic host and was super responsive the few times we had to contact her. In all of my decades visiting Tahoe, this was by far one of our best trips!
