We absolutely loved staying at Richardson House! There was plenty of room for everyone; beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed the gazebo and hot tub. The house is on a hill that overlooks the town of Truckee. We relaxed on the front porch before and after activities during the day. It was delightful! Our hostess kept in touch before and during the trip. She made suggestions and added special touches to make our birthday celebration extra special. We highly recommend this property

The pictures don’t do this place justice. Absolutely beautiful and huge home! Bathrooms in every room made getting ready with a large group so easy. Walking to downtown was super convenient, and mornings on the porch with a cup of coffee and a view were magical. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Victorian

We loved our stay in truckee. Each bedroom was tastefully decorated, with ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen was stocked for any cooking or baking needs! We made a carrot cake and cupcakes for my daughters wedding. The location is ideal for a quick walk down the street to downtown truckee. Thank you Jeannine for a wonderful, memorable stay.

Great place to stay in Truckee

Second time/second year in a row that we stayed at this property for President's Day weekend. The Richardson House is amazing in. Property was very clean. Kitchen is fully equipped and seems to have brand new state of the art appliances (I do not remember if they were the same last year, but I have they impression they are brand new). Great for large groups of families, plenty of space for everyone. Very close to Truckee center (accessible by foot). Would definitely stay there again!

2024 Summer Get Away

This is our second year in this house and the 8 of us completely and totally love these accommodations. We will return for a third year and a fourth and a fifth. It’s perfect for a small business meeting like ours. The gazebo is our night time gathering spot. The Weber BBQ fit our needs and the kitchen is so well equipped we could feed a crowd.

Way better than the pictures show!

This Victorian has been completely remodeled and updated with all of the charm preserved for a step back in time. There is ample room for everyone to gather together, including a large dining room table for truly special meals with family and friends. The bedrooms are comfortable and unique in their own way and allow privacy when wanted. The proximity to Truckee is an added bonus. We unreservedly recommend this beautiful home.

Great Family Trip

This was a wonderful family vacation. My husband, myself and my 3 kids and their families. We had 8 adults and 5 children ages baby - 9 years old. The house is very historic and beautifully maintained. Everyone had plenty of space and privacy. The kitchen was great, lots of accessories and room for multiple people to be preparing food etc. The living room/dining room were great for gathering and everyone enjoyed the hot tub as well.It was nice to be right by town, we could go in the morning and get coffee or fill leisure time just walking around. The food trucks and music on Thursday evening in town was fantastic.Great communication with the host, she was very helpful with some suggestions for places to go.We would definitely stay here again if we come back for another family reunion.
