Tucked among towering pines in Olympic Valley, this mountain house is 1.7 miles from Palisades Tahoe – close enough for early lifts, far enough to feel like a proper retreat. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the snow-dusted forest from a vaulted living room warmed by a gas fireplace, and when the slopes are done, the hot tub on the deck is waiting. A games room with a piano and ping pong table, plus an on-site gym, means there's no shortage of ways to spend the hours between adventures. Tahoe City is a ten-minute drive away.

About West Tahoe
