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.

Amazing stay for who wants a cabin in the woods. Positive: The cabin had everything you would ever need, and everything was in working condition and very clean. Negative: One of the blinds weren’t working and TV had to download an app for work with the google chromcast. I believe guests shouldn’t need to download anything just use the normal remote.
