Step out on the adjacent covered deck to admire the forest views (BBQ NOT AVAILABLE - PLACER COUNTY ORDINANCE). With all those people, at times it’s easier and more economical to stay in for meals. The well-equipped kitchen features stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops and includes everything you need to prepare a hearty breakfast, a quick snack, or a home-cooked dinner. You can also grill on the deck barbeque. The dishwasher makes clean up a breeze. There are six chairs at the large dining table and four more chairs at the breakfast bar.
When you’re ready to venture outside, you’ll love this perfect vacation setting. The Recreation Center / Lodge features a swimming pool, two outdoor hot tubs, locker room saunas, billiards, tennis and bocce courts, and a fitness trail. The complex backs up to Tahoe National Forest, offering miles of hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and other activities year-round.

Stroll down to Magic Carpet mini golf or check out Waterman’s Landing, located at Patton Landing Beach, a 3-acre, pebbly beach known for stand-up paddling.

There are dogsledding tours too!In every season, the Village at Squaw Valley offers dining, shopping, the Squaw Valley Aerial Tram, and a variety of activities. In the summer, ride the Aerial Tram to High Camp then choose a scenic trail and walk or hike in one of the most breathtaking places in the world! At 8,200 feet elevation, admire the beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains with views of Lake Tahoe and Squaw Valley's legendary granite peaks. In the Aerial Tram building lobby, kids and grownups can have a blast climbing the variety of routes on the 30’ simulated Headwall Climbing Wall.
