Beautiful location just a short (5 mins) down to the river. Coffee in the morning on the deck overlooking the river was perfect! Owners were very communicative and kind and check-in was a breeze! Definitely worth coming back!

What a fantastic cabin by the river in the Tahoe area!We had the best time enjoying the snow, and despite the massive storm, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was perfect for our family of four. Beautiful tucked away cabin in the woods. We loved the wood-burning fireplace and the proximity to Palisades was perfect. The host was incredibly helpful and answered any and all questions we had, which was especially helpful during the recent storm. We can’t wait to come back!

Directions were very clear on how to get to the property. Great size and very clean. Beautiful location. I’d recommend getting a few more kitchen supplies like cutting boards and such but otherwise a great trip!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
The bedrooms were cozy and the amenities provided in the bathroom were great! Check in was clear and detailed. Communication with the host was informative, positive, and timely. The espresso machine was lovely to use each morning. Felt like a retreat! The location was the best part! Private, Truckee River view and access, and National Forrest next to the cabin. The trees and backyard surrounding the cabin are so beautiful. Quick drive to Olympic Valley/Palisades. My family definitely will want to come back!!!
