About this property
Stay minutes from Palisades Village and a Beautiful bike ride away to Lake Tahoe
Your mountain holiday awaits in the heart of Olympic Valley and the base of Palisades ski area. This wonderful, Norwegian style “Hytte” (or cabin), is the perfect place for a family getaway during the Winter or Summer! This is one of Squaw Valley's (Olympic Valley) original homes built for the Olympic Games in 1960, and is located in the heart of the Valley and minutes from the ski lifts and other outdoor activity.
Location is everything at Lake Tahoe! Our cabin is located strategically in the heart of Olympic Valley, literally minutes from the base of the ski hill. Once here, you won't have to deal with the substantial traffic that can often times cause 1-2 hour delays during the Winter just to get to Truckee or Tahoe City. So after your ski day, just kick off your skis and grab your favorite beverage in front of our cozy fireplace. You're already home!
The house has been beautifully updated, with spectacular, panoramic views of both the meadow and ski hill from the living areas and a huge, wraparound deck. The living area has beautiful, two-story glass panes that enhance the view, high ceilings and lots of seating all centered around a cozy, rock fireplace.
This mountain cabin is fully equipped with four bedrooms (one open loft), two full bathrooms, nicely updated kitchen with new appliances, laundry room, and a sound-proof TV room. Sleeps eleven (11) with two private rooms with King beds, one room with 4 bunk beds, and an open loft with a bunk bed and a twin.
The cabin has four (4) off street parking spaces for your convenience.
Enjoy the red cedar Norwegian Sauna during your visit. During the Winter, test your inner Scandinavian by cooling off in the snow just outside the sauna door for some added excitement!
During the Winter, the new base to base Gondola is open that connects Palisades to the Alpine Meadows Ski Area next door. Free shuttle to ski hill via "Mountaineer" shuttle service. Book thru "Mountaineer APP" via app store on your cell phone. No need to leave the Valley and deal with all the traffic! You're already there!
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 Palisades Tahoe for your morning coffee or to explore all the wonderful new shops and fine restaurants.
Mountain bikers will enjoy the many trails around Squaw Valley and Lake Tahoe, and golfers have the ultimate challenge with the Robert Trent Jones-designed 'links' golf course right outside your door!
Olympic Valley/Palisades Tahoe is located just 45 minutes from Reno International Airport, and it’s approximately a 3.5 hour easy drive from San Francisco. The cabin is a beautiful six-mile drive or bike ride to the west shore of Lake Tahoe.

About the host
Hosted by Eric Magnuson
We are the original owners of this property that was built in 1957 for the Winter Olympic Games. 3 generations of Magnuson's consider this property our Tahoe home. This was the 2nd home built in Olympic Valley. Original cabin was updated with addition of kitchen, Media room, and laundry room. We imported much of the furniture from Norway, as well as fabrics used on built in sofa's and chairs.
Why they chose this property
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.
