About this property

Best Day Ever Basecamp

"Best Day Ever Basecamp" sits in the new Palisades development as you enter Olympic Valley. With views of Painted Rock out every window and deck, views of the Palisades Resort from the front deck, this home feels like you are sitting the the middle of the forest. It offers a lot of privacy and is tucked at the end of the development. The house is a 3 minute drive up to the resort for powder days, a 5 mile drive down to the lake for boating and swimming, and 15 minutes from amazing golf courses in Truckee. There is easy access to the bike path just down the street to ride along the Truckee river or amazing hiking right outside the door. This home is in the perfect location for families looking for a Tahoe adventure, and that's coming from a couple dedicated adventurers. You can't go wrong staying at our home!!

Great place to spend some times in the mountains

We enjoyed staying in this five-star home centrally located at the entrance to Olympic Valley. Everything fun to do in the mountains and on the river is within a few minutes' drive. The unit is well-maintained and has all the room and amenities to make for a very comfortable, relaxing stay for a large family or group of friends.

A wonderful winter wonderland

We loved our stay at Matt’s. The pictures don’t do it justice. Modern, clean, bright and close to palisades. We’d come back!

Beautiful home - convenient to both Olympic Village and Tahoe City

We had a great stay. The home was well equipped, and the location was perfect. We were able to walk and ride bikes down onto the Olympic village. The Truckee River is right around the bend. With a bike trail. Tahoe City was a short drive. The upscale, modern home sits in a nice neighborhood. Communication with Matt was great!

Love at first sight!

Not sure how else to describe it other than our entire family LOVED this place. The house is spacious, modern and cozy. And comes will all the amenities one need for a stay in Tahoe. It is hard to find a VRBO where the knives are sharp and the pots and pans are great to cook with, but this one is that exactly. We stayed for a ski trip with 3 generations in our family. So it was really great that we could feel at home here. It made our family time so much more special.

Best place to stay in the palisades!

Matt and this home are fantastic, truly going above and beyond to accommodate us and make us feel welcome. Great neighborhood with free shuttles to take us to/from the ski slopes. Fully stocked kitchen with top notch appliances. Comfortable beds and tons of entertainment options. Really enjoyed the open space next to house for sledding, building snow people and tons of snowball fights! Quality, comfort, convenience, and fun! Thank you Matt! We will be back!!

Beautiful, large home in a great location

This is a spacious, very new property with all the latest appliances and luxuries. Very comfortable, open, and also clean and very well maintained. The location to Pallisades (Squaw Valley) is ideal. We used the free local ride service to get around within Olympic Valley, and Tahoe city is a short drive. The instructions from the property owner were clear and very helpful. My family of 7 would definitely stay here again! My only challenge was getting access to the garage through an app on my phone due to sometimes poor cell service. When it worked it was great, but it took a few minutes on my first attempt.

Amazing home for winter time in Palisades

Our group went on a guys ski trip and this place was amazing. The home is beautiful and well-built with amazing views and light. The great room is spacious and fun for a group to hang out and enjoy drinks or have a few people cook a meal together. The kitchen is well stocked with supplies and pans which was nice as we had some complicated meals that some guys made. Some things worth noting: - the coffee maker stopped working and the owner overnighted one to us. That's an example of how great the owner was with communication - the home is well built and rooms are fairly soundproofed... we had a couple guys that had to wake up extremely early for calls with Europe and they were able to take those in their room or great room and others' sleep was not disturbed. - for parents, there is a second bedroom with a queen bed next to the master. Kids who need to sleep nearby parents would be comfortable there or a playpen could easily be added for small ones. The bunk bedroom is downstairs... if your kids are put to bed early, then they should not hear any conversations and laughter from upstairs. - the garage was possibly our favorite part... it is HUGE. Every guy's dream. Plus we were able to drive right in with our car carrier since the door and garage are extra tall. Great for getting in and out of the car during a cold or snowy day.
