About this cottage rental

Escape to a charming riverside sanctuary where the Truckee River rushes right past your door. Tucked away among the pines, this cottage offers the seclusion of a remote getaway with the unbeatable convenience of being 5–10 minutes from Palisades Tahoe and Lake Tahoe.

Please Note: To maintain a peaceful atmosphere, our retreat is an adults-only space (not suitable for children/infants) and is strictly pet-free.

The space
Our layout is unique and functional, featuring two distinct rooms connected by a "Jack and Jill" bathroom.

Main Bedroom: Features a plush Queen bed and a private entrance.

Secondary Room: Features a comfortable Queen sofa bed, a secondary private entrance, and a dedicated sitting area that doubles as an inspiring workspace.

Dining & Amenities:
While the cottage does not have a full kitchen, we’ve curated a convenient "Adventure Kitchenette" to fuel your days:

Essentials: Keurig coffee station, microwave, and mini-fridge with freezer. Outside in summer there is a barbecue.

Tableware: Plates, bowls, mugs, and silverware provided.

Après-Ski Ready: Wine glasses and a corkscrew are at the ready for your evening toast.

Guest access
Seamless Entry: Access the cottage via a secure electronic door lock.

Parking: Dedicated space for up to 2 vehicles. We share a driveway with a neighbor, so we kindly ask that you keep their access clear.

Winter-Ready Access: Forget the stress of snow! We are located directly across the river from Highway 89 (a high-priority plow zone). Our street and driveway are plowed first thing every morning by a local resident—meaning you’ll be the first ones at the resort while others are still digging out.

Lovely tiny cottage. We had a great time
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Loved our stay! Small cottage, just what we were looking for. And the Truckee River is Right There!! Had my morning tea watching the sun rise over the trees and river every morning.Very clean and well cared for. The weather turned in us from summer warm to thunderstorms at night. We were warm & cozy listening to it. Great location - close to the river walk, rafting and Tahoe City. Yet not to close. Quiet peaceful location.

Great location by the river with easy check-in and comfortable. Small, cozy with no kitchen, so not set-up for easy cooking of meals.

Great location on Truckee River .Cottage extremely dated.Could use bathroom upgrade to plumbing.And exterior sealing for bug prevention.Maybe add a sink for doing dishes.With some minor upgrades could really be good.
