This cozy ski cabin is conveniently located on Highway 89 between the well known Palisades Tahoe ski resort (formerly Squaw Valley) and Truckee. The cabin was built in 1954 before the Olympics came to Tahoe and has been upgraded to offer all the modern amenities while keeping the original pre-olympic ski cabin charm. The cabin is on a 2 acre lot with hiking trails in the backyard forest and it is surrounded by beautiful National Forest land. Guests also have direct access to the Truckee River as there is a public parking area across the road from the cabin.

Updated 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath cabin with hot tub. Gas fireplace and keyless entry. Flat screen TVs, Netflix, as well as free high speed WiFi. New furniture and linens throughout. So many kitchen utensils and appliances: Nespresso machine, coffee maker, toaster, crockpot, iron/board, etc. We even have an electric car charger on the outside of the garage that guests are welcome to use free of charge!

Great central location: 5 minutes you can be at Palisades Tahoe/Alpine Meadows, 20 minutes to Northstar or the casinos! 10 minutes to downtown Truckee. Tahoe City is also only 15 minutes away with fine dining and shopping.

Winter renters: Backcountry ski, Cross country ski or snowshoe right out the back yard into into the National Forest. Or, take a soak in the hot tub on the deck while star-gazing. Skip the ski resort traffic from Truckee if you are headed to Palisades Tahoe as the cabin is only 5 minutes down the road.

Summer renters: Take a hike on our nature trail and admire some of our large trees right in the back yard! The cabin includes a hot tub & large deck for outdoor dining & relaxation. Grab a tube and float down the Truckee River, you can rent a tube and float the slower section of the River from Tahoe City or you can purchase your own tube and float into the town of Truckee from right across the street. If you enjoy fishing the Truckee River also offers some of the best fly fishing in the area. If you are looking for a longer hike or mountain bike ride the cabin is located right down the road from some of the more popular mountain biking areas in Truckee and you can ride your bike right from the cabin to the trail. For a more leisurely bike ride we recommend renting bikes from Tahoe Daves at the Palisades entrance and taking the paved bike path down the Truckee River to Tahoe City and then down the West shore of Tahoe or over to Carnelian Bay for some great views of Lake Tahoe.

Please note during the summer months wildfire smoke can be unpredictable and winds change daily. During the winter months snow storms can come quick and change daily, disrupting travel plans. We recommend our guests purchase trip insurance that covers natural disasters such as wildfire smoke and snow storms as we are not able to accommodate refunds for last minute cancellations. There is an air purifier in the cabin if there happens to be smoke during your stay.

There is one security camera on the property that is pointed at the driveway. We use this security camera to monitor snow removal and to verify cleaners have come.
