Photos and Description of the Alpine Meadows vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

If you want to experience the peacefulness of the mountains without the crowds of Lake Tahoe, this place is for you. This Alpine Meadows home is a great summer mountain retreat. Just minutes from Truckee and Tahoe City and numerous hiking trails. It's also only a 25-minute bike ride along the Truckee River to Tahoe City or Squaw. It’s perfect for three couples or a family as it sleeps six.

The wrap-around deck on the main level provides for spectacular views of the valley and mountains. Yard has a picnic table, large sun shade, and a Weber BBQ.

The house has two levels with a bedroom, living room and kitchen upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs. Each bedroom has a queen bed and the couch in the living room has a new hide-a-bed. There are two bathrooms, one upstairs and another between the two bedrooms downstairs.

There is a trail/fire road across the street where you can see towering pines, crystal clear streams and a variety of birds. It’s also within walking distance of the Five Lakes trail head, which leads you into the Granite Chief Wilderness and literally endless trails and hiking. Bring your bike and leisurely ride along the Truckee river to Squaw or Tahoe City for brunch or a beer and burger outside at the Bridge Tender on the Truckee River in Tahoe City. Or simply walk around the Alpine Meadows community and enjoy the different types of mountain architecture and a friendly neighborhood dog or two who will join your walk for a while before returning home.

There is room for three cars to park directly in front of the stairs leading down to the house. The house includes cable TV with DVD player.

Important: The house does not offer a landline phone or Internet. So if you plan to work while here, we recommend that you bring your own Verizon mifi. Verizon works ups here but AT&T is spotty.

About Sharna

Sharna and Andrew live in San Francisco's Telegraph Hill - North Beach neighborhood. Sharna is in high tech and Andrew is a land use attorney. We fell in love with Snow Crest the first time we saw it. Our skiing - snowboarding skills have gone off the chart this winter (2010-2011). We have never seen this much snow in our life. We absolutely love Alpine Meadows. It is a fantastic mountain, with something for everyone. Our favorite spot: the Ice Bar on the backside on a sunny day. Just priceless. Looking forward to summer hiking. We love our place and love the idea of sharing it with others.

Sharna purchased this house in 2010
Why Sharna chose Alpine Meadows

Alpine is an incredible and unique place, winter and summer.

What makes this house unique

Being so close to skiing makes it easy to get better at both boarding and skiing. The VIEW from the front room and deck really is pretty spectacular... the hiking this summer has been crazy, with the snow not yet all gone. Tahoe is beautiful and full of crisp clear water. Fantastic!

Ideal Ski Cabin for a Family

5 of 5
Submitted: January 9, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
We so enjoyed our week on Snow Crest in Alpine Meadows! It's very convenient to both Alpine and Squaw Valley (now with a shuttle between them), and to Truckee and Tahoe City as well. We were cozy and comfortable. The wood stove + heating system were easy to operate and the kitchen was fully functional. The beds were very comfortable, and the tv-vcr-dvd set up, with a varied collection of movies, was a great diversion. And how often does a rental property library feature books by Camus?

The listing description and photos are spot on, and the property is clean and well-maintained. The owner was available instantly by phone with the few questions that we had. We would go back in a flash.

Bonus--my disabled son and I absolutely LOVE the Tahoe Adaptive Ski School at Alpine Meadows, just 5 minutes up the road.

Have fun!

Double the Fun!

This is a great place to stay if you are skiing/riding at Alpine Meadows OR Squaw Valley! We managed to get Friday afternoon and Saturday at Alpine and two full days at Squaw (located about 1 min from Alpine and 5 min from Squaw). The big dinning table worked out perfectly for big family dinners every night. Never had a problem with running out of hot water even with five people showering. Only real downside was no WIFI and Alpine's WiFi in the lodge was not working. Don't plan on using any cellular hotspots either (we had 3 different carriers with us and none worked). Blessing in disguise if you can get away from work for that long. Another note: GO FOR A WALK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD! All of the fun architecture and building styles are worth seeing!

This cabin is indeed "cozy" but spacious. The layout is great. Beds super comfy. Fireplace and heater work great. Minutes from Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley ski resorts. Beautiful view from living room. Tahoe City close by - great to eat out, look at shops and walk along lake. Clean and fits description and photos. Owners easy to deal with. I would absolutely recommend it and will be staying there again soon.

Charming, Cozy, Well Maintained Home in Great Location!

Great place, well maintained and stocked with everything we needed. Love the retro VHS collection! Beautiful view from living room, easy access to Alpine Meadows Ski Resort and just a few steps from a great snowshoeing trail. Tahoe City is an easy 10 minute drive and there we stumbled into a fantastic lake-view restaurant called Christy Hill. Don’t miss the chance to eat there. Overall our stay was very comfortable and enjoyable. We’ll be back!

We stayed here with two families (7 people) and were quite happy and comfortable. The property is very clean, well maintained and nicely provisioned. We were also quite happy that the local snow-shoveling guy showed up every morning, as we needed it!

We would certainly stay here again.

Owner's Response: Having a service regularly plow the drive during the winter storms is essential, especially for the big storms and deep snow that Alpine gets.
