About this property

Palisades Tahoe/ Olympic Valley- 3 BDR Magical Creekside Cabin with Hot Tub

**Seasonal Note** Book October-November for peak fall foliage, beautiful yellows, oranges, and reds, and comfortable cool temperatures for fall hiking and biking! Don't miss this extraordinary time of year to enjoy the mountains. Get your skiing legs in shape, or enjoy your favorite Tahoe locations without peak crowds and prices.

About the Property
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 this 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.

Parking reservations are now 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!

Lovely winter getaway and great house
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.

Tahoe Vacation
Great house, comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. Perfect for two adult couples with kids. The girls loved the bunk beds. We enjoyed the forest views, creek behind the house, feeding the Stellar blue jays and great deck to enjoy the mornings and evenings listening to nature. We enjoyed the convenience of proximity to both Truckee and Tahoe. We would return! Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic family retreat in the mountains
We had a wonderful stay in Olympic Valley with our 2-year old and my parents. The house was well-equipped and perfectly set up for our family. Our son loved the foosball table, the deck, the creek, and the toys (snowball fight with cotton snowballs was so much fun). The hot tub and access to Olympic Valley trails was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the great stay!

Great family weekend
We came up from San Francisco with visitors from Florida. Showing them Tahoe with this home as a base was wonderful. I really enjoyed my morning coffee on the deck listening to the stellar jays. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of towels, and the kitchen was well stocked. The host was very responsive over text.

Great cabin
The cabin was wonderfully stocked. The host was quick To respond. Location was awesome. It was very comfortable. The hot tub was wonderful even in the summer The creek and deck were a big selling point, but we weren’t able to use them much because of all the mosquitoes. The biggest problem was we needed the doors open because of the heat, but all the screens had holes in them so bugs would get into the cabin. Other than that we had a wonderful time.

Magical Place!
The home is amazing! We loved our time here, and I would definitely stay here again. It is such a cozy space, and the property is in such a great location. I loved all the stuffed animal bears in the den. Hot tub and cold creek were a huge plus as well!

alternative to nearby hotel.
7 of us stayed while attending a wedding weekend at the nearby hotel. The kitchen was well equipped for our breakfasts. The washing machine and dryer was next to the bathroom, so we could have clean towels daily. The stream just outside the back porch and living room made for a bucolic view.

Great location and comfortable home
The location was perfect for us as we were skiing several different mountains in the area and not just Palisades. Close to the highway, but quiet neighborhood and just far enough from Palisades to avoid the heavy traffic. The home itself had everything you need…with the private hot tub and wood burning fireplace perfect treats after a long day of skiing. The kitchen was well appointed and the bedrooms comfortable. There were plenty of towels and the bathrooms had heated floors, which was a nice touch. Communication with the owner was thorough, prompt, and helpful with local restaurant ideas. Not only would I highly recommend it, I plan to stay here again the next time we ski Tahoe.

Perfect Tahoe Stay
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!

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!

Our new favorite house rental near the Palisades base.
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.

Out of this World
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?! ..

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Host profile image
Marin County local I grew up skiing in North Lake Tahoe and became infatuated with Squaw Valley ski resort. My mom was pregnant with me while she was at the Olympics in 1960....I love mixing Vintage decorations from that era that go along with the 60's mid century modern style of this home. In all the decades I have spent in Squaw Valley I have yet to find a home that combines the benefits this one does of location, easy accessibility with a homey yet open feel. It's special orientation to the creek and unique architecture celebrate the spectacular outdoors which is always changing with the seasons. My piece of heaven!

Why they chose this property

This home is special any time of year......we love it for completely different reasons depending on the season. Great access to hiking, road and Mt. biking, swimming, beaches and boating, Via Ferrata and Zip lining in the summer. Fall beautiful Aspen leaves turn colors contrasting with Evergreen Trees and see the Salmon run near Fallen Leaf Lake. Spring brings Waterfalls and flowers. And of course ice, snow, skiing and ice skating in the winter. And a cozy home with hot tub to enjoy after it all. It is an all year round playground!

This property has the best location adjacent to the creek yet is on a short cul de sac so is quiet, not a through street and flat perfect for biking and walking. Immediate access to the ski resort and the bike path make it ideal!

What makes this property unique

The creek!! You can sit in the living room on the built in couches underneath the massive windows and look down into the creek. We have even seen fish swimming by!! The creek is always different..sometimes it is raging with snow melt and other times it is just a trickle such as late summer when boulder hopping is at its best! We also love to lounge on the rocks in the creek. But it is always beautiful and the wildlife that comes to enjoy it as well is wonderful.

There is also a very special granite rock that comes through the deck which I think is very special...my kids when they were little loved to stand on the rock and do silly things as if they were on a stage. :)
