Hide away in this secluded, dream of a cottage in the woods. The stonework and gabled roof make this craftsman cabin the picture-perfect scene amidst the snow-dusted pines. Inside, the mountain-chic motif continues with wood-panelled walls and beamed ceilings. Gather around the roaring fire and crack out the board games and acoustic guitar. The fully-equipped kitchen has a range cooker, ideal for group meals. Light up the fire pit come snow or shine in the evenings - toasted marshmallows and drinks under the stars are always a good idea. Spend days on the nearby ski slopes in winter, or boating on Lake Tahoe in summer. Bike trails, mountain walks, and top-rated restaurants are all within striking distance. After a full day, soak in the private hot tub and feel supremely relaxed as you listen to the rush of the Truckee River.

Local guide
About Olympic Valley
On the border of California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is one of the largest bodies of water in the US. As you'd expect, it's an area of astounding beauty, but the lake has also made a name for itself as a centre for both winter sports and water sports, as well as hiking and cycling. The north shore is a bit quieter and more relaxed than the south. While there's still plenty to do (including the annual food and wine festival), you're unlikely to see crowds like you do in other parts of the region.
