The Richardson House a luxury vacation home available for rent. Many local not-for-profit organizations enjoyed complimentary use of the house for their board meetings. A proud supporter of the community, a portion of the proceeds from every booking goes back to the Truckee Donner Historical Society. In addition, TRH is supporter of The Truckee Donner Land Trust, Trails andamp; Vistas and the Historical Haunted Walking Tour (to name a few).Please check out the web site to learn more about the Vacation Home, the people who run it, community partners and more at http://www.TheRichardsonHouse.com. Any more references to TRH as a Bandamp;B will result in a fine, which will be put right into Chelseaandamp;#8217;s pocket, I mean donated to a local charity.
