Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Truckee River

We had the most amazing stay at this Donner Lake/Truckee gem! The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip—plenty of towels, a well-stocked kitchen, and even ping pong and a hot tub. for the. The location is perfect—quiet and peaceful, but still close to downtown Truckee and all the outdoor adventures. We went hiking, shopping, and spent the day at West End Beach which is a 10 min drive . The hosts were super kind, and made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth stay. Highly recommend for families, people with pets (we brought our dog), or anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the Sierra Nevadas. We can’t wait to come back!

Wow what a great cabin for families! We all had our private areas which is great with little ones. Tons of amenities and things to do around the home. Was fully stocked, updated and very clean. All together one or the best rentals I’ve stayed at! Highly recommend :)

The house was absolutely perfect—clean, quiet, and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need to feel right at home. From the cozy bedding to the well-equipped kitchen, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The neighborhood was peaceful, which made for a relaxing and restful stay. We were visiting my uncle who lives nearby, so the location couldn’t have been more convenient. It truly felt like a home away from home, which made our trip even more special. The owners were fantastic—super easy to get in touch with and incredibly responsive. Communication was clear, friendly, and timely, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests' comfort. We’ll definitely stay here again the next time we’re in town! :)

This was a beautiful home. It more than comfortably fit my group of six. It was clean, spacious, easy to find, close to fun things, and very comfortable. Staying here was a blast and we’d definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay, great backyard, although not used, only flaw is no dryer. Other than that. Met all expectations and will stay again.

Ginny was a wonderful host! She was very responsive and with any questions and provides a comfortable home to enjoy during our visit. Very clean! Thank you for allowing us to stay!

Merlin’s place was perfect for a quick overnight stop on our way home. It was probably the cleanest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. The views were beautiful and my two year old loved watching the horses and chickens! Would definitely recommend to people traveling through Reno.

Absolutely amazing stay! Gosh was great and responsive and the location was perfect. Highly recommend and will stay again!

Anastasia was a wonderful and responsive host. She was incredibly helpful and flexible, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Her kindness and attentiveness really stood out. The place itself was charming and beautifully quiet — a perfect, peaceful retreat. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay! The 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom setup was perfect for our family and extra guests—definitely a big plus. The place was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Would highly recommend and would love to stay again!

We had a great stay in Carol’s Airbnb and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone coming to Reno and looking for a home away from home! The apartment was spacious, nicely decorated and had everything we needed (special mention must be made of the completely equipped kitchen). The place is located on a cul-de-sac in a nice and quiet residential neighborhood - but still only a 2-3 minute drive away from gas and a supermarket. Carol greeted us warmly upon check-in and was always available whenever we had questions.

Best part, they had a EV charger.

We stayed there for memorial weekend and absolutely liked the apartment. It was spacious, clean and has everything to enjoy the stay. We liked the kitchen especially, it has utensils, spices,and very clean without any bad odour. The location is so close that you can walk to the downtown and enjoy the stroll along the Truckee river. We will definitely stay at this place if visiting Reno again. Thanks Mike for making the stay very comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at Matt and Cathy’s place. The apartment was very clean, cozy, and well-maintained. It felt like a home away from home. Having a fully functional kitchen was a huge plus, making it easy to prepare meals during our visit. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The location is fantastic. It was close to many restaurants, attractions, and things to do, yet the neighborhood remains quiet and peaceful. Parking was also straightforward and convenient. We would definitely stay here again if we’re back in the Reno area and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located place to stay.

Cozy, comfortable stay. Debra and her husband were great hosts, easy to get ahold of if needed anything.

Fantastic place. Great location, very clean, and a lot of space. Great for a group or family. The house was supplied better than any I have previously stayed at. Thank you for a great stay!

The place is clean, well appointed, and a great location close to resort. Hosts go out of their way to make a first class experience with several nice amenities including stocked coffee bar, well equipped kitchen, and a nice welcome package sitting in each bedroom. The place is awesome for the price.

We stayed at Eric’s place while in the area for a wedding. The spot is conviently located near downtown Truckee while still being tucked away in a quiet part of the Donner ski resort. Eric was very accomodating of requested check in/out timing due to our wedding events, which made our stay all the more simplified.

This condo feels like a home-away-from-home the moment you walk in. It’s tucked in a peaceful spot just minutes from Lake Tahoe, yet blissfully quiet at night. The kitchet is well equipped, the living room is awesome, and the beds are super comfy. If you want a stress-free base for exploring Tahoe—or simply for curling up with a book while pine trees sway outside—look no further.

Very good family ski in ski out condo for spring break. Well stocked kitchen and updated appliances. Clean bathroom with plenty of towels etc. Comfy couch and living area. A little bit of a walk (with stairs) from the parking area so if you have senior members of your group keep that in mind. Very easy to get to and from the slope (ski down to gondola in 15 seconds). Village run returns you right to parking area for the condo.

Nice, cozy space that had everything we needed. We were there off-season and so it felt a bit isolated as we seemed to be the only people in the building. Also, the snow pack was so high there was almost no light coming through the window, though that couldn't be helped!

This is our second time staying in Northstar and this time around we really liked the condo we stayed in. The kitchen was newly remodeled and it fully loaded with all the basic essentials to make a meal. The deck off the living was a nice spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and bird watch. My family had a great time playing with the mini foosball table and we loved the rec center. So much to do! The rec center staff were very helpful and polite. We look forward to booking again in the near future!!

Lara’s place was a fantastic location, perfectly equipped and surprisingly bigger than expected. Thanks so much for a great stay!

John was incredible!!!! We booked last minute and he responded quickly to everything. The place was clean and he was very accommodating even allowing us to check in early. The location was great and peaceful. We will be making this a regular location for weekend getaways. Thanks again John!!!!
