Olympic Valley, California
Best Palisades Tahoe Location
Palisades Tahoe USA, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, is a fabulous ski resort offering a broad range of terrain. We have skied all over the Lake Tahoe area and it is by far our favorite mountain. The Village has cobblestone pedestrian walks, numerous restaurants and shops, and is the perfect social hub during the winter months.
New in 2023, parking reservations are required at Palisades Tahoe. They offer paid and unpaid reservations, which must be made on Tuesday for the upcoming weekend. Happily for those staying in the valley, there is a free, on-demand, door-to-door shuttle called The Mountaineer that will take you directly from our cabin to the slopes. Download the Mountaineer App on your Smart phone for hours, destinations and to request a ride/pick up.
An additional benefit to staying with us in the valley is skipping the 30min-1hr traffic jams that routinely clog I-80 for those driving from Tahoe City or Truckee.
Serene Winter Cabin Escape
Designed by well known Squaw Valley Architect, Dave Tucker, this single level house is warm and inviting, offering peace and serenity just one mile from the lifts of Palisades Tahoe (Formerly Squaw Valley) USA. The 14 foot high floor to ceiling windows fill the home with light and a grand feeling of connection to the outdoors. Privately nestled in the trees next to Squaw Creek, enjoy watching the snow fall outside, or curl up on the day beds while a fire crackles in the volcanic-rock fireplace. Slip into the eight person deluxe outdoor hot tub to unwind and relax while you listen to the babbling brook. Snow shoe or cross country ski in the meadow across the street or on the many trails nearby.
Mountain Fun All Summer Long
In spring, summer or fall walk out onto the large deck for afternoon BBQ's or a nap in the hammock. Climb on the granite boulders in the creek (or the one that comes through the deck). Enjoy the flat yard and deck area next to the creek ideal for kids to play. The house is located on a flat street and private cul-de- sac offering easy access during winter (no steep icy roads to navigate and no need to shovel or climb snowy icy stairs to get into the house!) and an ideal playground for kids in both summer and winter. There is an adjacent bike path which you can walk or bike to the nearby soccer field, hiking trails, or playground and take in all of natures beauty any time of year. You can also bike from here all the way to Tahoe City along the Truckee river- one of our favorites!
Comfortable Accommodations for the Whole Family
This home offers a great floorplan! There are two bedrooms with king beds and a bunkroom that will accommodate up to six people. In addition, there are two day beds in the living room and a pullout couch in one of the bedrooms. This house is ideal for one or two families with children and is sure to leave you with amazing memories of a fabulous vacation in the mountains!

Linda’s place is great and in an amazing location close to Palasades Tahoe. It has an amazing living room and the wood burning fireplace was perfect. Stayed with family and friends and the kids were were happy with the place. Also, the mountaineer shuttle is a great option to get around the Valley. The communication with Linda was great and prompt. Wil definitely come back to stay here.
Linda was great and the cabin is amazing...looking foward to coming back again.
This is a great home in a great location! Highly recommend.
We loved staying at this cabin! Big highlight is the beautiful great room windows looking out over the creek. Very peaceful property. We loved the hot tub while listening to the creek. We visited with our two young children and the house was great for even our little one (19 months) navigating down the living room steps. The host is wonderful and we have already shared the listing with friends. Great find!
We loved it! Perfect for us all! All adults, perfect for family. Nice outdoor deck too, comfy beds too!
Great place for a family get away in a beautiful setting. The home is cozy and clean, and the large dining table is a great place to gather for family meals! Spent a lot of time outside on the wonderful deck enjoying the surrounding ambiance. Inside, the large windows bring the outside in, making for a magical treehouse feel. We really enjoyed our visit to this lovely creek side home, and would love to stay again!
Great property. Good layout and quiet.
We booked this home a bit last-minute, as my brother and his wife and my family wanted to do a mini reunion and ski. Of all the homes and condos we have rented close to the base, this house is absolutely been the best. I don't even want to let the secret out! Why it's amazing: - 1 mile from the base parking lot. - Cozy chalet style home. Feels homey but has amazing stone floors (heated in a bathroom!) and vaulted ceilings. There are blankets everywhere. There's a wall of windows overlooking the river and complete privacy. Both couples had plenty of space, and the kids had the bunk room. There are plugs everywhere. AND the owner is kind? I am so impressed and I'll be back if Linda isn't booked wall to wall! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
The house was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The location is ideal for Palisades Tahoe and Alpine Meadows. We had a wonderful stay!
Perfect house for a ski trip with family and friends. Clean, fun, and convenient. Would love to stay here again!
The property is really well presented with high quality kitchen and other inclusions. The location is idyllic by a babbling brook, and we also enjoyed the hot tub in the snow (there was so much recent snow we had to shovel the pathway to get to it!). Easy to get to the ski lifts with a 5 minute drive. Overall a great winter getaway experience.
House was very comfortable, kitchen well equipped, clean bathrooms, good beds, lots of towels and linens and excellent host communication.
Well stocked place to stay and lovely deck
We just loved this place. It’s clear this is a well lovely family getaway and the house is filled with a warm family feel that just draws you in and makes you feel right at home. It’s beautifully decorated in perfect log cabin style. The beds and linen is all quality, great Wi-Fi. Its location is the real star of the show. We visited in July and all the plants and wildlife were in full flow. We watched over 4 days a Robin’s nest in the eves at the front with 4 chicks. They grew quickly and fledged as we watched. It was incredible to be part of these tiny bird’s adventure into the world. Over the last couple of days we had a some visits from the babies as they made their way, still getting looked after by Mum and Dad of course. Saw quite a few steller jays too. Beautiful. In the evenings, we’d jump into the hot tub with a glass of wine and chill…which is basically what we did the whole time. Didn’t see any bears or big cats, but I suppose that was a good thing. Haha. We would thoroughly recommend staying here. It must be incredible when there is snow. Great host, great rental, great location. What else is there to say?! ..
Magical location with creek running below. Private and well located for things to do. Exactly what we were looking for. Linda kept in touch with details for check in/out and everything went perfectly.
Great location. Wonderful property for our family of five. Highly recommend!
Beautiful deck where you can listen to the birds and the creek from the hot tub. Great location from which to explore Tahoe City and some of the gorgeous state parks and their trails. Had some great hikes and picnics. Highly recommend!
My family and I had a wonderful week spring skiing and hiking while staying here. Linda was so super helpful and easy to work with. Her visitor tips and resources served as an amazing guide to our stay, I only wish I we had stayed longer to visit all of her recommended sites and restaurants! We hope to be back again soon!
