Right in the heart of Olympic Valley, this smart three-bedroom home keeps mountain living simple. Thoughtfully laid out, it pairs vaulted ceilings and a gas fireplace with a practical, chef-ready kitchen and open-plan living space made for post-ski catch-ups. There’s a private hot tub on the patio for stargazing soaks, plus a separate media room and a bunk room that make it an easy fit for families or small groups. In winter, the door-to-door shuttle takes you straight to Palisades Tahoe. In summer, trails start nearby and the lake is a short drive away. Comfortable and well-located, it’s a fuss-free basecamp for Tahoe adventures year-round.
