Description
Situated along the iconic Truckee River corridor, this extraordinary modern mountain home offers a setting unlike anything else in the Tahoe region. Tucked into a quiet, forested enclave off West River Road, this Tahoe vacation rental places you in the heart of nature, where the gentle sound of the river and the surrounding pines create a truly immersive alpine experience.
Surrounded by dense evergreens and dramatic granite ridgelines, the exterior blends contemporary architecture with rugged mountain materials clean steel lines, expansive windows, stone accents, and warm wood siding. Perched on the sloped riverbank, the home captures commanding views of the Truckee River, offering picture-perfect vantage points from nearly every angle. Step outside to your own private slice of wilderness: vibrant seasonal foliage, calming river sounds, and direct access to one of the most scenic stretches of the Truckee River.
Despite its secluded feel, the home is just a short drive from downtown Truckee, Palisades Tahoe, and top trailheads offering rare privacy without sacrificing convenience. This is more than a mountain home it's a modern riverfront sanctuary designed for guests seeking unmatched natural beauty, elevated design, and the true essence of Tahoe living.
Ascending to the main level, you're greeted by a breathtaking open-concept space that blends thoughtful craftsmanship with contemporary mountain luxury. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the living and dining areas, blurring the line between indoors and out as views of the forest and hillside surround you.
Anchoring the room is a dramatic stone fireplace, crafted from natural rock and designed as both a gathering space and architectural centerpiece. Cozy seating including a large denim sectional, round chaise, and curated accent chairs creates a warm, inviting atmosphere for enjoying quiet mornings, relaxed evenings, and everything in between. Rich textures, colorful decor, and artisan lighting fixtures bring character to the space, while exposed wood beams and polished ceilings echo the home's mountain roots.
A seamless flow leads into the dining area, where a family-style table, plush green chairs, and a sculptural chandelier set the stage for memorable meals and conversation. With expansive picture windows throughout the main level, the surrounding landscape becomes the backdrop for every moment.
The heart of this riverfront retreat is its extraordinary custom kitchen a stunning marriage of craftsmanship, mountain charm, and modern convenience. Wrapped in warm wood tones from floor to ceiling, this chef-inspired space features hand-built cabinetry, dramatic veined countertops, and gorgeous views of the towering pines. A professional-grade six-burner gas range with an oversized hood anchors the cooking area, complemented by a built-in paneled refrigerator, dual sinks, premium stainless-steel appliances, and abundant storage.
A generous breakfast bar with stylish seating extends the kitchen into the living and dining spaces, creating the perfect layout for entertaining. Colorful pendant lights and wide-plank hardwood floors add rustic character and artistic flair. Whether preparing a family feast, hosting apres-ski cocktails, or enjoying coffee with a river-view backdrop, this custom kitchen elevates every moment. Just off the kitchen, a walk-in pantry and laundry room provide excellent storage and functionality for longer stays.
Perched on the upper level for maximum privacy, the primary suite is a serene retreat inspired by the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame peaceful forest views, filling the room with soft natural light. A colorful artist-painted bed serves as a breathtaking focal point, paired with plush bedding, layered textures, and cozy carpeting that add warmth and comfort. Double closets offer ample storage, and the ensuite bathroom featuring elegant marble finishes, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, dual-sink vanity, and refined fixtures creates a spa-like sanctuary.
Just down the hall, a second bedroom offers a warm and inviting retreat with a comfortable queen bed, rich wood furnishings, and abundant natural light. This room enjoys easy access to a beautifully tiled bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower and classic mountain finishes perfect for guests who appreciate comfort and privacy.
Off the main living areas, two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for families and groups. The first features a cozy queen bed and calming forested views, while the second is a charming custom-built bunk room complete with rustic wooden bunks, plush bedding, and a TV for relaxed downtime. Both bedrooms share a vibrant and artistic hallway bathroom with a bold red accent wall, custom fixtures, a walk-in shower, and unique decorative details that add personality to this level of the home.
The spacious entryway on the lower level is ideal for dropping gear after a day along the river or the slopes. This level also includes the attached garage and a convenient half bathroom for added functionality.
Out back, a private patio creates a serene outdoor retreat with comfortable dining and seating areas, a seasonal gas grill, and a bubbling private hot tub tucked beneath the trees. A switch-activated waterfall stream trickles through landscaped rocks, infusing the space with a soothing, spa-like ambiance. Whether you're sipping morning coffee, stargazing, or enjoying the peaceful river soundtrack, this outdoor oasis offers a naturally calming backdrop for your stay.

ABOUT THE AREA
Olympic Valley is home to Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw/Alpine), one of the largest ski areas in North Lake Tahoe and the host of the 1960 Winter Olympics. With 6,000 skiable acres, 43 chairlifts, and the only funitel in the U.S., Palisades Tahoe is a dream destination for skiers and snowboarders alike. Perfectly located between Truckee and North Lake Tahoe, you're just minutes away from everything the region has to offer.
The Village at Palisades Tahoe provides an array of dining, apres options, retail shops, and even a yoga studio for some post-ski relaxation. Enjoy a seamless connection to Alpine Meadows via the 16-minute gondola ride, which links 6,000 acres of world-class terrain, connecting The Village, Alpine Lodge, and the iconic KT-22.
This winter, take full advantage of your Palisades getaway with our exclusive offer! Book with us and enjoy discounted lift tickets, lessons, and more, courtesy of our partnership with Palisades Tahoe. Tickets are available for midweek, weekend, and holiday visits based on your travel dates.
Olympic Valley is just as spectacular in summer. Located at the base of Palisades Tahoe, you can play a round at the Links Golf Course or bike along the scenic Truckee River Trail. The Village offers guided hikes and the chance to conquer the Tahoe Via Ferrata. Take the Tram to High Camp for roller skating, disc golf, or geocaching, and stop by Granite Bistro for lunch and stunning Sierra Mountain views at 8,400 feet.
For hiking enthusiasts, the Shirley Canyon Trail is a must-do, with waterfalls, granite boulders, wildflowers, and the picturesque Shirley Lake. After a 2,000-foot elevation gain, a complimentary Tram ride brings you back to the Village. And when you're ready for a day at the lake, sandy beaches are just 15 minutes from your door, offering the perfect summer retreat.

I was also accepted at UCLA into their aerospace engineering program. But university of California is a lot more expensive then the state school system. Tahoe Truckee high school was awesome for me. I graduated third in my class. I was involved with student counsel, baseball, basketball. My junior year (83) of playing basketball we won the Nevada AA state championships.

Now a year and a half into our experience with Truckee Elementary we couldn’t be happier with our experience from day 1. Teachers and administration are very helpful with clear communication. The school has extra resources to help kids with additional needs including for more advanced students.
