This was our 4th family trip to Lake Tahoe from New Orleans and we will be back to The Village at Squaw Valley in April 2020 for our 5th trip to Ski for Easter Week.
Stayed here from 12/26/2019 to 1/4/2020, 9 nights, 2 adults with 16 year old twin son and daughter
The Owner, Desiree, was responsive to our text requests
Squaw Creek Resort is a nice place to stay if you want the resort type of vacation without a full kitchen
Restaurants and shops are easy to walk to
However, if you want to go to the heart of Squaw Village after 4pm, the shuttle arrives every 30 minutes
To go to Alpine Meadows Resort for skiing, you need to take the shuttle to Squaw Village Then another shuttle from Squaw Village to Alpine Meadows
The 2 shuttle process took too long so we ending up paying for Lyft or Uber to take us from the Resort at Squaw Creek direct to Alpine Meadows
If you want to end your ski day after 4pm in the Squaw Village or in a village restaurant, you need to take the shuttle back to Squaw Creek Resort
Advantages
