About This Home

As of December 2025

Nestled just a stone’s throw from the Truckee River and thoughtfully set back from the road for added privacy, this charming Olympic-era cabin offers an unbeatable location for year-round adventure. Float the river in the summer, ski Palisades Tahoe in the winter—all without battling the usual traffic. Step out your back door and onto world-class cross-country ski trails, epic mountain bike routes, and pristine river access perfect for swimming or paddling. This is truly a basecamp for mountain living, with a strong history as a popular short-term Airbnb rental and endless recreation right at your fingertips. The home has been fully remodeled throughout and features a brand new roof, tall ceilings, warm wood finishes, and inviting decks that overlook the river and surrounding forest. The large upstairs deck offers ample space for entertaining or simply enjoying the wooded surroundings. Additional highlights include a newer Sundance hot tub with Smartop cover, ideal for relaxing after a day of adventure. Located up river close to Olympic Valley in a fantastic and well-established community of homes, this property sits on a generous and beautifully maintained .88-acre lot with mature landscaping and natural privacy. Just down the trail is a local-favorite swimming hole—perfect for cooling off on warm summer days. This home has a proven AirBnb rental history and is a favorite in the area. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a smart investment, or a mix of both, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey home in one of Truckee/Tahoe's most desirable areas. The combination of setting, privacy, updates, and rental potential make this property one that truly stands out.
