We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is very cozy with so much space and lots of places to sit and relax. Check in and out was very easy. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can think of including things I was not expecting like alum foil and storage bags. We would definitely rent this property again.

Fantastic house, incredible location

Had a wonderful time at Chuck's Yacht. Couldn't ask for a better location with access to the free Mountaineer Shuttle and a five minute drive to Palisades. The house provided a great set up for our two families of four in that the kids and adults had separate hang-out spaces and lots of comfortable spots for sleeping. Would definitely return!

great place for families in Olympic Valley

My Family loved this house. It’s conveniently located a few minutes from Palisades, and is on the route for a free on-demand shuttle that we saw around the neighborhood quite frequently. The house is well-appointed, and the kids loved playing pool and sledding on the gradual slope on the side yard. And the property managers are great, including because they kindly let us check in a few hours early to get ahead of some weather.

This house was spacious and comfortable, and just as advertised. It was also well-located halfway between Tahoe City and Truckee, and very close to Squaw Village. We even walked to the Village a couple times. The deck is also really nice. Very sunny and surrounded by trees. The house is well-stocked with movies and games, and has Netflix and Hulu, too.

We mostly just used the place as somewhere to sleep and didn't spend much time there. But the place was great. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were nice, place was clean! Only comment was the basement room had a little odor. But you didn't notice it after 30 seconds. Would definitely stay again!
