We had a lovely stay at this property which is located right next to a slope down to the chair lifts. Great skiing and the Palisades is now one of our favorite locations for skiing! However, there is no easy access. We had to walk uphill from the house on the road with ski gear to then climb over the snow bank (that was quite high this season with so much snow). Not so easy but possible. No one had commented on this when we did the research to find a place to stay. Mt.Jola is just a short walk into the Olympic Village which was very convenient to go for shopping or food. We also enjoyed driving to Lake Tahoe and into Truckee to some very nice restaurants. Parking - we had a group and rented a big van which had difficulty getting up the hill to the house on the curvy lane when it was snow covered. There is really no place to turn around. But the parking space 'over the bridge' as noted is a short walk which is where we had to park the van. We parked a car right at the house but note the space is directly besides a car parked for the next property (downhill) so it is a tight squeeze. The house is very eclectic in style and funky which was entertaining but a few points need to be made: * gas fireplaces were very difficult to work and we could not get the master bedroom one to light * several doors/closets are locked - more than a typical home rental * some closets were not locked but loaded with things so the storage is very limited even with so many rooms and floors

Our whole crew really enjoyed our stay. This is our second hear in the home and we saw improvements since last year - more kitchen supplies and tools, space heaters, etc - that made the stay even better than before. Kudos to the caretaker, who spent the last three days of our stay shoveling and snowblowing!!
