About this property

Hirschdale Hideaway on the Truckee River - Fly Fishing, Skiing, Hiking, Biking

Come for the fly fishing and stay for the ability to rise again in the morning and do it all over again. This newly furnished and renovated one bedroom unit affords you all the comforts of home with an attached deck and BBQ with views of the river and mountains. Walk to the Truckee river from the back deck or drive to other nearby access points. Hirschdale is just a short ten minute drive to Downtown Truckee and 20 miles to Reno. Skiing, boarding, mountain biking, tubing, or grab a paddle board and head to Boca Reservoir which is five minutes by car. If fly fishing is what you're after don’t forget to reach out to Gilligan of Gilligan’s Guide Service, owner of The Hirschdale Hideaway.

Peaceful Paradise

Being located on the Truckee river, in a small community, this is our favorite location in the greater Tahoe area.Racheal & Matt are the ultimate hosts with a wonderful family and neighbors.

Wonderful

Great spot in a quiet location near the river, just east of Truckee. Perfect for the fly fisher. Super clean and comfortable unit. Matt and Rachel are great hosts and respond quickly to any questions. My (all too brief) stay coincided with the first cold snap, and the trees in the canyon were popping with fall color. Looking forward to coming back (and doing a float with Matt)!

Hirschdale hideaway

Hirschdale is a small neighborhood community with no services. Truckee is only 10 minutes away, you can get anything you need there to bring for your stay. Space is good for 1-2 people. Owners live next door and are friendly but not intrusive. Lots of options for outdoor activities in the area. Easy check in, accurate instructions and good communication. Thanks for hosting me!

Need a good reason to stay here.

Whilst the location was great and the room very clean a better star rating would be 5/10. When I opened the wire screen door it fell off. I contacted owner who was quick to respond, advising she did know about the issue (maybe a good door should be installed correcting an already known issue). No aircon, but there is a fan in the cupboard which helped. On the second morning I was woken by someone in the garage at 4am (attached to the small unit) who kindly left the motor running for a few minutes before leaving - this is the main reason for the low score. I did contact the owner about this, but had no response. Oh well, the bed was comfortable and I used the place to sleep in only, so it did the job. Nice view from the outside space.

Suggestions

Everything was great - it was a very quiet neighborhood on the river,. I think you should say that the next door neighbor is a fishing guide. We would have booked with him had we known. Suggestion - we are over 80 and mildly tech-savvy. It would be helpful if you had written instructions in the house for operation of the TVl - we couldn't use it. Also for the BBQ. Same thing. Laminated instructions would be very helpful.

Comfy Spot

This place was awesome. Nice and cozy. Has everything you need. its about 15 minutes from Downtown Truckee and about 15 steps to the river. This is my second time at this spot and I’m already looking forward for the next trip up. Owners of the property are extremely kind and helpful. Thanks again, Rachael and Matt.

Good, however can use some work

Great location and easy check in. I really loved the location of this property and what a treat to be able to bring my dog. The owners were. Very responsive and easy to get ahold of. It’s a cute unit attached to the garage. This place is great but the floor was very cold and I had to use towels/pillows to block the drafts from the closet and doors. Also the bed was pretty uncomfortable. I had a hard time sleeping. Great shower though and beautiful view!

Just okay

The unit was fine, some nice interior decorations mixed with deferred maintenance issues. The listing was perfectly clear that it would be important to open the windows at night to let in cool air, given the lack of AC. That would have worked great...if the screen door were functional, which it was not. The door was too broken to use, not only falling off track at the slightest pressure but also leaving a huge gap that let insects fly in (and being so close to the river, this was a major phenomenon!). Other drawbacks included a lingering scent of old cigarette smoke, a deck surface badly in need of sanding and repair, and other small details like tattered curtains and flapping insulation stripping. The location was lovely in terms of the river view, mountain air, and frolicking wildlife. However, there is no escaping the fact that you are very much attached to a garage and looking directly at the host's equipment-littered backyard and back deck. We often worried that we were invading the freedom of the host's kids to run and play freely - they were very respectful but we were so obviously in their territory. One final, small detail/hint: the coffeemaker is a Keurig and only 2 pods were provided, so make SURE you bring pods or your own coffemaker. We brought backup beans but couldn't use them. Altogether it was a fine stay but felt overpriced.

Awesome Place

I booked this house for two nights for a solo fishing getaway, it was absolutely wonderful. The owners/family were awesome, made me feel right at home. The house had everything I needed and being that close to the water was an added bonus. Can’t wait to head back up.
