Big John at Alpine Meadows- Mins to Skiing + Ski Shuttle, Mountain Views

You've officially arrived in Alpine Meadows – a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts! Situated just minutes away from Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley), with nearby hiking and biking trailheads (including the renowned Five Lakes Trailhead), this extraordinary home boasts an unbeatable location. And that's not all – imagine a summer swimming pond just a block away, perfect for refreshing dips on warm days!

This nicely updated ski cabin integrates convenience and comfort effortlessly. Mountain views, vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace are all what you expect when you think of a perfect mountain getaway. Yet the tasteful touches of modern art sprinkled throughout give it a sense of sophistication and are what really sets the stage for today's contemporary traveler.

Leave the hustle and bustle of city life behind as you step into the welcoming mud room upon arrival. Hang up your coats, kick off your boots, and let the stresses of the day melt away. The entry level features two bedrooms flanking the mudroom. On the right, you'll find the primary bedroom, boasting a luxurious California King bed and an upgraded en suite bathroom with double sinks and an oversized shower stall complete with a steam function. Across the way, there's a charming bedroom with two twin beds, a bunk bed and an en suite half-bath.

When you're ready, venture to the top floor and enjoy lounging with the family in style. The living room offers an abundance of plush seating for the entire family to enjoy, creating the perfect spot to gather. Turn on the gas fireplace, and perhaps even tune into the big game on the television – though it may be hard to tear your eyes away from the captivating views beyond the vaulted windows. On this floor, you'll also discover the third bedroom adorned with a Queen bed and a second full bathroom.

Out on the triangular deck at the top of the stair landing, two breathtaking peaks hover overhead for your viewing pleasure. Here, enjoy a morning cup of joe to the song of a Chickadee nestled in the towering pines above while you decide which convenient adventure awaits you that day!

ABOUT THE AREA
Nestled between the picturesque towns of Truckee and Tahoe City, Alpine Meadows stands as the ultimate haven for families and thrill-seekers alike. Embracing a captivating chalet-style ambiance and unparalleled hospitality, this destination elevates skiing and snowboarding to extraordinary heights. Prepare to be enchanted as Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows) unveils its majestic allure, boasting an impressive expanse of over 6,000 skiable acres and more than 270 trails. From graceful progression parks to exhilarating bowls, this winter wonderland offers a variety of challenges to enthrall skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels.

In the summer, Alpine Meadows undergoes a remarkable transformation, revealing a tranquil sanctuary surrounded by awe-inspiring valley views, meandering creeks, and hidden alpine lakes. Nature enthusiasts will find their hearts stirred by some of the region's most exceptional hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking opportunities.

At the entrance of Alpine Meadows, The River Ranch Restaurant awaits—a classic alpine retreat perched on the banks of the Truckee River, perfect for unwinding after a long day of rafting. When the allure of the lake beckons or a night of excitement awaits, the sandy beaches and vibrant Tahoe City boardwalk lie just a short ten-minute drive away, offering endless opportunities for relaxation and entertainment.

If you are planning to hit the mountain, hop onto the Base to Base Gondola, which connects the Alpine Meadows Lodge to The Village at Palisades Tahoe. The Alpine Meadows Lodge is only a short 10-minute drive to The Village at Palisades Tahoe (formerly The Village at Squaw Valley).

OK place depending on your expectations
Attractive building with very nice, large living room. Excellent location very close to Bear Creek pond. Somewhat awkward layout with washer/dryer located in master bathroom. Very small deck with no cover or shade trees so unpleasant to use during most of the day in middle of summer. Maybe better in later fall or spring. Might be a more appropriate rental for ski season than summer.
