Mountain Chic Condo - Palisades Retreat
Look no further than our Mountain Chic Condo! Enjoy a quiet time in the mountains in our tucked away, private condo. We are minutes from the slopes, as well as walking trails, and other adventures. Our cozy sanctuary has two bedrooms and 1 bathroom, and fits 4 guests perfectly.
Absolutely no parties or loud groups.
Enjoy our sanctuary in the mountains, walking distance to the incredible slopes at Alpine Meadows. The condo boasts a modern chic mountain vibe, comfortable throughout the year. Our condo is tucked away from the crowds, but close enough you can literally ski to the front door. We are in a smaller complex and we are lucky to have one of the ground floor properties. We worked with a local contractor to update the unit, then added new furniture, quirky artwork and numerous games to create a cozy/fun environment.
In the winter months, you can walk to the slopes, or simply drive down the hill to the parking lot. We couldn’t be closer to the base at Alpine Meadows.
The condo has two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an open concept kitchen, living, and dining area. We also have a lovely deck for you to enjoy the snow capped mountains. The kitchen is completely updated and modern with a breakfast bar, a dining area with seating for 6, and opens up onto the contemporary living room.
During the colder months, enjoy our wood burning fireplace. Please note, no outdoor fires are allowed at any time.
Our living room also has a Television with Roku, a desk/workspace, a comfortable couch, and family games.
The room configuration is: - Bedroom 1: One queen bed - Bedroom 2: Twin bunk bed with pull out futon
Nearby Activities: Squaw Valley & Alpine Meadows Resort, Burton Creek State Park, Jakes On The Lake Restaurant, Lake Tahoe, Le Chamois & Loft Bar.

Great location for a weekend of skiing!
This is a great spot to stay when optimizing or as much skiing as possible. It’s comfortable, but minimal. Perfect for a small group to have breakfast at the slopes come home make dinner watch a movie and crash. The wood stove was a major bonus!

Family Ski Trip
We had a wonderful stay at this location. While we had some brief issues with the lockbox when we arrived, the management company was fantastic and called us back promptly at 10:00 pm and helped us enter. The condo was clean, well-stocked and as pictured. We had a very comfortable stay and I hope we will be able to book here again in the future. Thank you!

Overpriced. Absolutely nothing in walking distance
There is literally not a single open business in walking distance. And every single restaurant at Alpine closes by 2 pm. At Truckee, Tahoe City, and Palisades , there are endless restaurants. Rental options in Truckee, and Tahoe City are much less expensive and make way more sense.
No way to ski in / out unless MAYBE you want to cross country / hike where there is no path meant for it.
We could handle the price, but it was way overpriced for what and where it was.

John and the team were proactive, easy to reach and excellent at communicating about weather related issues. They solved problems before they even became problems. The condo, location and snowboarding were incredible. Highly recommend!

Perfect home away from home
I went with my 3 adult children so having reliable WiFi was important. A fully stocked kitchen made meal prep easy. The location being close to the slope was ideal. The parking spaces is right outside the unit. There were enough beds for all of us. We definitely recommend this place to anyone considering going to Palisades.

Perfect Alpine location
We really enjoyed staying at this Alpine Meadows condo. It’s about a 10 min walk to the closest lift (Subway). About as close as you can stay. The place is very clean and you can tell it’s been recently updated. The WiFi is blazing fast, so you will have no problem working or streaming movies. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and there are plenty of extra pillows and blankets. I would stay again!

Great, cozy condo
Our family of 5 had such a nice long weekend steps away from the slopes. We were able to ski out no problem - and sort of ski back in. The condo was spotless and had everything we needed including a small foosball game that our kids loved and became proclaimed experts at. All around great, little spot.

Cute cozy condo
Condo had everything we needed and had cute decor. Close to Tahoe City and 5 minutes from the Alpine Meadows Stables, which was also a wonderful experience. A nice view of the woods from the veranda.
