We rented this property along with the cottage and couldn’t have been happier. Having both properties allowed for plenty of space for quality family time. The two stories are split into separate sections, perfect for when the grandparents needed their quiet time and separate space. There is an outside deck on both floors providing a very quite and peaceful place to enjoy yourselves surrounded by aspen trees, and the Truckee river just close enough to hear.
Perfect place for a long weekend of skiing. The chalet location is nestled in a little oasis by the Truckee river. Owner has done a wonderful job. We would rent again.

About the host
Hosted by Hans Wiest
Hello and Welcome!
A little bit about us, we are life long Bay Area natives growing up across the street from each other in Oakland, CA. In the Bay Area we love hiking through Redwood Park in the Oakland Hills, wandering along the Embarcadero in SF, and exploring new restaurants in Berkeley. We are avid travelers with some of our favorite adventures being hiking the alps in Germany, crawling through the pyramids in Egypt, and taking a hot air balloon trip over the fairy chimneys in Turkey.
While we love the pace and the culture of the Bay Area, Squaw Valley is our oasis outside of the city. We love being able to share our little bit of paradise with you. We enjoy getting the day started with a pastry and coffee from Tahoe House Bakery, biking from the cottage down the Truckee River, Sunday Brunch at Sunnyside Restaurant on Lake Tahoe, and going to Little Truckee Ice Creamery on Donner Lake.
We hope that you enjoy your stay!
