The house is about 8 miles from Historic old town Truckee, 20 miles to the best Tahoe ski resorts, and many beautiful natural places including Donner Lake, Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe National Forest.

FISHING YEAR ROUND
Here you will find some of the best fishing water that the Truckee River has to offer, and the river is literally right in the back of the house! Access the river at any public bridge (Hirschdale bridge is 100 yards from the house), from access points along the Tahoe Pyramid Trail which parallels the river from Lake Tahoe all the way to Pyramid Lake in Reno, or at the California Conservancy lands and other public access points (access maps available at fishing shops & online). Water access at the bridge is a five minute walk from the house - the bridge can be seen from the house. From the bridge, a short and steep dirt trail must be navigated to reach the river. There are other access points nearby with easier access. The Truckee River can be fished year round! There are also several other great fisheries nearby.

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION: The County is replacing two bridges in the Hirschdale neighborhood. They say construction times are restricted to daytime work hours and that noise, pollution, and traffic measures will be in place. The replacement may take up tp two years, they began work summer 2025, it may continue to 2027. These bridges are a few hundred yards from the house and can be seen from the house. Construction may impact guests staying at this house from time to time. Pedestrian access across the bridges and river access is provided during construction. Guests do not need to cross these bridges to access the house or other local attractions. The road beyond the bridges only provides access to the rock quarry and a few residences, it ends after about a mile and there is no parking down there, so you aren't going to miss out on anything!
