River Run Family Retreat Near Palisades Tahoe

Forest light and vaulted pine ceilings define the main living space of this multi level Alpine Meadows townhome. A stone fireplace anchors the room, creating a natural gathering point after ski days or summer hikes. Positioned within the River Run HOA, the setting offers mountain quiet while keeping Palisades Tahoe and Alpine Meadows ski terrain within a short drive.

The central level connects living, dining, and kitchen areas in one open arrangement. Granite countertops and stainless appliances support shared meals, while a dining table for eight, additional children’s seating, and a breakfast bar allow the group to spread out comfortably. A deck just off the kitchen faces the surrounding trees, extending the interior toward forest views.

Four bedrooms are arranged across multiple levels for flexibility. The main floor includes a queen bedroom with an attached private bath. Upstairs, the primary suite features a king bed and an ensuite bath with double vanity, soaking tub, and walk in shower. Also on the upper level are a queen bedroom and a room with two twin beds and a crib, served by a full bathroom between them. In total, the residence includes three full bathrooms and one half bath and accommodates up to ten guests.

Community amenities within River Run include a seasonal outdoor pool, hot tubs, sauna, and tennis courts, all steps from the residence. The Truckee River corridor and paved bike paths are nearby, with Five Lakes Trail approximately 2.5 miles away. Palisades Tahoe is about 3.4 miles from the property, Alpine Meadows roughly 3.5 miles, Tahoe City under 4 miles, and Commons Beach on Lake Tahoe approximately 4 miles by car. Crest Café and River Ranch Restaurant are within walking distance.

A two car garage is available. Four wheel drive and snow tires are strongly recommended during winter months due to mountain road conditions. The residence does not have air conditioning.

This townhome suits ski families and summer lake groups seeking proximity to Palisades Tahoe, access to trails and river paths, and a multi level layout that supports both gathering and privacy in North Lake Tahoe.
