About the Home

Perfect anytime of year - welcome to the Alpine Meadows Retreat! This is a beautiful family home, great for those wanting to come enjoy time away in the great outdoors without compromising the comfort and feels of home. We are minutes from the slopes at Palisades Tahoe (Alpine Meadows).


Guests enjoy plenty of space for the whole family, including a family game room, hot tub, open living area, and plenty of deck space to enjoy that fresh mountain air. Because this is a family home, you have all of the amenities you would need for a comfortable stay, including all kitchen appliances, cooking essentials, and more.


This home has style. Bought in the 80s by a group of college ski buddies, this home is filled with history, memories, great times, and lots of laughs. You will get to enjoy the tons of skiing regalia that deck the walls of this awesome home. Now, owned by one of the original families, this home continues to provide amazing times for anyone who gets to call this home for a vacation!


This is the perfect home for family and friends to gather, ski, hike, fish, swim, BBQ, cook, and relax! Alpine Meadows Stables is in the area if you are looking to enjoy the scenery on horseback. The River Ranch Lodge & Tavern is just a short drive away as well offering great food, drinks, happy hour, and raft watching. Bring your bikes and use the Truckee River Bike Trail to cruise up and down the Truckee River from Palisades to Tahoe City!

Guest Reviews

Nice Ski House

Ezra S (VRBO Guest) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great location close to alpine. It was only a few minute drive to the mountain. The kitchen was very well stocked and it was nice that they had a nespresso machine. Would have been nice to be able to park in the garage because of the amount of snow while we were there, but the driveway had enough parking for 4 cars. The hot tub was really nice. The kids room had tons of beds in it. None of the bedrooms had a master suite bathroom, which wasn’t much of an issue, but it would have been nice. We will definitely try to stay here again.
