Tucked into Olympic Valley among snow-dusted pines, this house is built around the kind of evenings that are hard to leave – a crackling fireplace, a hot tub steaming against the cold, and a deck where towering forest closes in on all sides. The living spaces are generous and connected to the outdoors, with folding doors that open fully onto the trees. A house-wide sound system and room for up to ten around the dinner table make it easy to settle in as a group, whether you're here for the slopes or the Sierra Nevada summer.

Please note that a 4-wheel-drive vehicle, or a 2-wheel-drive vehicle fitted with snow chains, may be necessary to reach the home safely.

The grill is only available from May to September.
Guests staying here have access to a communal bike pump track and bocce ball court.
