About this house rental

Transport yourself to another time and place when you stay at this one-of-a-kind, pet-friendly Palisades Tahoe vacation home. Designed with the extended family in mind, this Bavarian-themed multi-unit property offers three stories and four bedrooms, with a game room and outdoor hot tub.

Upon entering this Olympic Valley retreat, you'll find yourself in the heart of the main living space. High wood-beamed ceilings, comfortable leather furnishings, a stone hearth, and woven rugs create a warm atmosphere reminiscent of a Swiss ski cabin. A flat-screen TV positioned above the inviting fireplace allows you to catch the excitement of the big game in the living room, while a dedicated media room just around the corner ensures the little ones are entertained with a movie of their own. Step onto the back deck overlooking the creek and unwind in the private hot tub while listening to the soothing sounds of nature.

The chef's kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, and a delightful breakfast bar for three. It seamlessly connects to the spacious dining area, where you can enjoy a delicious breakfast while taking in the alpine scenery through the large picture windows.

Upstairs, the primary ensuite offers a tranquil escape, furnished with a king bed, a comfortable reading chair, forest views, and French doors leading to an outdoor deck. Before retiring for the night, indulge in a relaxing soak in the ensuite's jetted tub. Another ensuite bedroom upstairs boasts two twin beds, a built-in queen bed, and a spacious private balcony. On the lower level of the home, discover a generously sized queen bedroom with a desk and access to the grounds, alongside a bunk room and a full bath. And don't miss the dedicated game room, featuring a foosball table, flat-screen TV, and ample seating for everyone.

Not to be overlooked, the outdoor space might be just as lovely as anything you'll find indoors. Whether it be a family game of tag in the summer on the manicured lawn, watching the leaves change color in the autumn, soaking in the hot tub as the winter snow falls, or wildflowers popping up in early spring, Swiss Chalet at Palisades Tahoe showcases the Sierras at their finest.

ABOUT THE AREA
Olympic Valley is home to Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw/Alpine), one of the largest ski areas in North Lake Tahoe and the host of the 1960 Winter Olympics. With 6,000 skiable acres, 43 chairlifts, and the only funitel in the U.S., Palisades Tahoe is a dream destination for skiers and snowboarders alike. Perfectly located between Truckee and North Lake Tahoe, you're just minutes away from everything the region has to offer.

The benefits of staying in Olympic Valley are unbeatable. Skip the traffic and parking headaches by taking advantage of the Mountaineer Door-to-Door Ski Shuttle, which brings you right to the slopes. Beyond skiing, the area offers a variety of winter activities, including ice skating, snow tubing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. The Village at Palisades Tahoe provides an array of dining, après options, retail shops, and even a yoga studio for some post-ski relaxation. Enjoy a seamless connection to Alpine Meadows via the 16-minute gondola ride, which links 6,000 acres of world-class terrain, connecting The Village, Alpine Lodge, and the iconic KT-22.

This winter, take full advantage of your Palisades getaway with our exclusive offer! Book with us and enjoy discounted lift tickets, lessons, and more, courtesy of our partnership with Palisades Tahoe. Tickets are available for midweek, weekend, and holiday visits based on your travel dates.

Olympic Valley is just as spectacular in summer. Located at the base of Palisades Tahoe, you can play a round at the Links Golf Course or bike along the scenic Truckee River Trail. The Village offers guided hikes and the chance to conquer the Tahoe Via Ferrata. Take the Tram to High Camp for roller skating, disc golf, or geocaching, and stop by Granite Bistro for lunch and stunning Sierra Mountain views at 8,400 feet.

For hiking enthusiasts, the Shirley Canyon Trail is a must-do, with waterfalls, granite boulders, wildflowers, and the picturesque Shirley Lake. After a 2,000-foot elevation gain, a complimentary Tram ride brings you back to the Village. And when you're ready for a day at the lake, sandy beaches are just 15 minutes from your door, offering the perfect summer retreat.

We stayed here for a work event and it was perfect! Close to the slopes and quiet for relaxing when we got home.

We loved the setting. There was plenty of room for all of us. The outdoor space was lovely & the jacuzzi was an added bonus, especially after a long hike. We did have an issue with no hot water in the unit over the garage, but the management company rectified the problem immediately. It was the perfect place for our getaway.

This house is awesome for larger groups with multiple gathering spaces and plenty of beds. The views are beautiful with a creek right out back which is so soothing to listen to while relaxing on the decks or in the hot tub. The location is only 6 minutes from the Palisades ski slopes and less than 15 minutes from Tahoe City and the lake, which our group really appreciated. The kitchen is very well stocked, the pots and pans have definitely been well used but they are still in good condition. The beds were pretty comfortable with decent quality linens. The house was clean and in overall good condition with some minor wear and tear that is to be expected in a vacation rental home. Our group was actually placed in this house just the day before we were to arrive when the house we originally rented had the hot water go out. The management company was very proactive in letting us know with a solution already prepared to put us in this house at no cost to use. The management company was super great to work with and has lots of connections to the businesses nearby to offer discounts to renters. We would definitely rent again.

There was a large group of us (10) that stayed at the house. It was comfortable and accommodating with multiple spacious living rooms. Our only wish was that it had better outdoor seating. There was no patio furniture out, but the creek (not quite a river) was rushing with all the melt off from a record breaking winter. It was amazing to fall asleep to at night.

Can't give 1/2 stars, so will start this by saying I would give it a 3.5 rating. There are negatives and positives to this property. Negatives: The biggest negative we encountered was that the refrigerator was not working correctly and caused us to lose a bunch of the food we ordered from Good Eggs and brought with us. What was probably most frustrating is that I noticed the fridge was not particularly cold when I unloaded groceries into it upon arrival and despite lowering the temp and then calling the property managers the following day to report the issue, I was told that the fridge was "fine" and "at standard temps". When I asked how they measured the temp and what they considered "standard temp" to be, they wouldn't answer me. I ended up going to Tahoe City to buy two fridge thermometers, which I place at the top and bottom of the fridge. Lo and behold, 12+ hours later, the upper part was at 58 degrees (well above food safety temps) and the lower part was at 42 degree (a smidge above food safety temps). It was only then that the property management took my concern seriously and suggested I use the fridge in the separate apartment above the garage (which required us to leave the main house to retrieve groceries). Very disappointing to have to deal with that (though I will add that Sophie at Tahoe Getaways kindly reimbursed us for spoiled groceries so thank you). Someone later delivered a replacement fridge and left it in front of the garage so I imagine it will be replaced once we've departed. Double check that the fridge is actually at the right temp (we left a thermometer); otherwise, you'll be potentially dealing with foodborne illnesses and who wants that when you would rather be on the slopes. The kitchen is well equipped... with VERY dated and scratched up cookware. There was no can opener or casserole-type dish (or at least we couldn't find those). I suggest bringing any special pans if you plan to cook. There were some pretty treacherous icicles hanging from the eaves, as well as some ice on the deck. We knocked down some of the icicles and put salt/melter on the deck when we were leaving but it was clear no one had done that before we got there. The ice was slippery and could have been quite dangerous to someone. Lastly, it would not break the bank for property management companies to supply homes with 2 ply paper towel rolls. Honestly. That 1 ply stuff is AWFUL. Positives: VERY spacious, generally quite clean (we did not experience what a couple prior renters experienced), good set up for multiple families and teens who don't want to hang with the parents, dog friendly, plenty of space to take a work call when needed, lots of towels, clean sheets, etc., hot tub worked fine. We did NOT see any droppings from rodents. Things to know: if you rent this place, you will park in a driveway that is in front of the garage (which has 93 on it so you think it's the house). Do NOT attempt to retrieve a key from the lockbox on garage because that won't work! Go to the left and follow the path to the main house instead. The primary house key also opens the garage/apartment (which was not clear in the communications from TG but we figured it out). As for Tahoe Getaways, we rent through them almost every time we come up to Tahoe. With the exception of the fridge situation at Swiss Chalet, we have always had very positive experiences with them.

Despite one of the negative reviews a few months ago, I fortunately did not have a bad experience with this cabin. I'll start with the negatives to get out of the way here, where 1) the kitchen has appliances and utensils, but no cooking supplies whatsoever, so please come prepared to bring oil, salt, pepper, etc., 2) we found droppings near the dining area windows, but did not encounter any mice, 3) dishwasher feels like it's falling apart and the rack kept coming off, 4) the master bedroom's shower could use some grout cleaning, 5) dining area is very ramped, and 6) I had contacted in advance whether the outdoor grill would have a full propane tank filled for each guest and I was assured that it would be, but when we got there, both tanks were empty, which I called the property management about and they had someone come over later to give us new tanks. On to the positives, I really loved the layout of the house and there were more than enough space for the 10 adults 2 children and 1 dog that were in our group. The studio apartment requires you to go outside in order to reach, and was very spacious that you can easily fit a family of 4 there and have plenty more room. The beds were in good condition and did not hear any complaints from my guests with quality of sleep. They provided plenty of fans that made the indoor heat not much of an issue, same with the outdoor awning and blinds by the dining room were very nice (just watch the window when using the extendable awning). The hot tub on the deck was in excellent condition and can confirm all the jets were operational when we were there. Overall, I would stay here again as I liked the location was easy to get to and only about a 10-15 mins drive from Tahoe City and if you plan to go to Palisades, then you're just a few minutes drive away. I wish we had more time to explore the area more as there seemed to be nice biking and hiking trails nearby, too. The layout and space was more than enough for our group, and if they can just deal with some of the negatives that I mentioned then this home could get 5 stars for me.

The house layout was great for the 12 of us, especially having the studio layout above the garage. It was cozy and comfortable. The controls for awnings and the window shade helped keep the heat out during the day. Beds were very comfortable for all……no complaints from guests, a big plus! Several balconies, the bbq and jacuzzi were great. Privacy was also terrific…set back from street, nicely treed and some beautiful views. The main house could have more attention paid to cleanliness….especially the tiled floors, and the area rug in the main floor living room needs to be trashed and replaced. We actually flipped it because we discovered the “down side” was actually quite a bit cleaner, but still pretty gross. An outdoor dining table would be an added plus…but there were a few chairs available. I would definitely consider staying there again.
