Four bedrooms (one open loft) and two full bathrooms. Sleeps ten (10) with two private rooms with King beds, one room with 4 bunk beds, and an open loft with 2 twins.
Just minutes to Squaw Valley Ski Area/Lifts with spectacular mountain views.
This wonderful, Norwegian-style, ski 'Hytte,' or cabin, is the perfect place for a family getaway. This is one of Squaw Valley's(Olympic Valley) original homes built for the Olympic Games in 1960. The house has been beautifully updated, with spectacular views of Squaw Valley from the living areas and a huge, wraparound deck. The living area has beautiful, high ceilings and lots of seating all centered around a cozy, rock fireplace. There is also a separate, sound-proof, TV room for those who want some quiet time.
The kitchen is well equipped for those groups that would rather dine in. With views of the mountains, the dining room will surely be a great place for some fun and memorable family meals. Great for entertaining!
For those of you who want to hit the slopes, you are only a few minutes drive from the ski lifts.
In summer you can enjoy the wonderful hikes close to the cabin, take a leisurely ride up the majestic Truckee River bike bath to Lake Tahoe, or wander down to the new Village at Squaw for your morning coffee or to explore all the wonderful new shops. There are also many fine restaurants close in and around the Village.
Mountain bikers will enjoy the many trails around Squaw Valley and Lake Tahoe, and golfers have the ultimate challenge with Squaw's Robert Trent Jones-designed 'links' golf course right outside your door!
Squaw Valley is located just 45 minutes from Reno International Airport, and a short, six-mile drive or bike ride to the west shore of Lake Tahoe. Three and one-half hour drive from San Francisco.

I organized a ski weekend to Squaw with a group of friends and we stayed at this classic cabin. We had a wonderful experience. The cabin was built shortly before the Squaw Olympics and has been owned by the same family ever since. You can feel the history of Squaw valley in the cabin and we could tell it has been home to many great memories--the photos on the wall tell the story! The cabin is not modern, but it has everything you need. The living room is wonderful. There is a great fireplace and the two story windows provide a perfect view of KT-22. The bunk room is small, but it is a perfect place for kids. The other two bedrooms and loft area offer plenty of space. The bonus TV room, sauna and outdoor deck are great. Also, the kitchen is big and open so multiple people can cook and prepare food at the same time.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks Pat. I appreciate the feedback! Eric

Wonderful views from this well-located ski house. We've rented a bunch of houses/condos at Squaw and this one had the best view. We rented this house for a family ski vacation and the house was compact but felt quite roomy for the 5 adults and 5 kids. The den next to the kitchen kept the kids occupied while the adults could relax in the living room. It's perfectly equiped for a ski vacation with a large mud room in the front to store boots, jacket, etc. It's a quick few minutes to Squaw and on a quiet street off the main road. One day we hiked to Shirley Canyon. It's a quick 20 min walk to the trailhead and then a nice hike up to the gorgeous canyon. A really wonderful hike. This house is not super-luxurious for those that like new houses but if you love old modern houses you'll love this one. We hope to return again.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks for your review. Glad you guys had fun and enjoyed the cabin!

We just returned from this gorgeous cabin in Squaw Valley. We had our entire family and loved the view, the Olympic history of the house, and the proximity to all the fun summer activities. We could be at Lake Tahoe in 10 minutes, we had everything we needed for cooking for 9, and we love the valley and the village. Well equipped, well maintained, and easy logistics with the owner.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks Barbara! We are glad you had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed what Squaw Valley and the Lake have to offer during the Summer months!

My wife, daughter and I, along with her parents, had an absolutely wonderful time in this great house. The location couldn't be more convenient, the large floor to second floor ceiling windows provided great light and views and the house was very comfortable. The owner was easy to work with and provided all that was needed. We had a delightful time.Recommended for: Pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children.

My family of 6 stayed here for a great week in March, with 8 feet of new snow. This is a gorgeous place with unique modern architecture combined local historical importance. The giant floor to ceiling windows overlooking the ski resort is great for those that just want to relax by the fireplace and watch the action. We look forward to spending another great week up hear next year!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed in this home over the summer and had a fantastic experience. After renting many homes in Squaw Valley, we finally found one with really comfortable beds. The living room is large and comfortable. We really enjoyed having the TV room off the kitchen so adults could be in living room without being subject to kids' shows. The kitchen is well equipped. The house gets great light and the decks are expansive. We loved seeing all the old photos of Squaw in the house. This was our first trip to Squaw in the summer and there was a lot to do: flat biking for kids, mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, pool at the top of the mountain and the best part is that you avoid the lake traffic. We would definitely stay again in the winter or summer.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My brother and I rented the Squaw Valley Cabin for 6 days over Presidents Day holiday as a reunion spot (i live in CA, He lives in PA). The cabin looked exactly like the photos- the beds were amazing (i am a bed snob) with great fluffy comforters. It is set off the main road by one block so no traffic noise but a 2 minute drive to the lifts at Squaw. The fireplace was EPIC - large and a ton of dried wood in the basement. One of the best features is the massive deck with great views of the valley- nice to relax and gets full sun all day. We would stay here again, for sure!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

This home is the quintessential ski cabin! Very charming, plenty of room for even 2 families, and perfectly situated near the ski slopes. We simply loved this house and the attention the owners put into all the little details, from authentic norwegian furniture to the open fireplace with breathtaking views of the mountains. This place rocks!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Why the Owner Chose Squaw Valley (Olympic Valley):
This cabin is one of the original 10 homes built in the Valley by our family for the 1960 Winter Olympic Games. The lot was chosen for its central location and hillside position offering views of the entire valley and ski hill.
