Valley view

Soak up the view during your stay.
There's nothing more refreshing and quintessential Tahoe than a cozy getaway in an A-frame cabin. Whether you're traveling in summer or winter, this four bedrooms and two and a half bathroom that sleeps eight is a rare find and meets the mark on all things alpine.

The space
Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, backed up to Bear Creek, this secluded three-level A-frame offers an open floor plan for the living, dining, and kitchen area. Start your morning on the sprawling deck, gazing out at forest service land will provide you with a tranquil place to start your day. If you are looking to get out and explore, you are a short walk from the Five Lakes trailhead and just one mile from Alpine Meadows Ski Resort. In the evenings fire up the woodstove, and enjoy gathering in the first-floor great room. The tranquility, charm, and unique style certainly make for a great Tahoe getaway location.

The expansive floor to ceiling windows, its long farm-style dining table, wood stove, spiral iron staircase, and vintage craftsmanship evoke the feel of a Tyrolean lodge. What it lacks in a dishwasher, it certainly makes up for in tranquility and charm. Before you book Alpine Meadows Cabin in the Woods, be sure to pack your slippers. We're plenty stocked with firewood and coffee cups.

The mountaineer shuttle will pick you up at this location and drop you off at Alpine Meadows during ski season.

Neighbourhood highlights

Alpine Meadows is perfectly located in the Sierra Meadows above the Truckee River; just moments from Palisades Tahoe. Nearby dining options include The Crest Cafe and River Ranch or with just a short five minute drive you will find breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks at The Village in Olympic Valley. Tahoe City is a 10 minute drive south, or visit Truckee just 15 minutes north. Shops can be found in all of these areas so you will never be bored! Local beaches and the beautiful Lake Tahoe await you just 6 miles away.
Alpine Meadows offers skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, tubing, dog sledding, hiking, mountain bike riding, cycling… almost any outdoor activity you can imagine!
We suggest stopping by the grocery store and gas stations before heading to the house as the options are more plentiful as soon as you get off the highway, although we would be more than happy to recommend local spots for you!
