The spacious primary suite offers vaulted ceilings and beautiful natural light, while your private sauna provides a luxurious way to unwind and recharge. We’re also pet friendly, so your four-legged family members are welcome to join the adventure.

Winter Notes: Olympic Valley sees significant snowfall. The HOA plows main driveways, but parking spots may require shoveling. Common-area parking is first-come, first-served and often easiest during storms. We provide shovels and ice melt to help you navigate winter like a local.

Perfect stay

We were in Olympic Valley for an event, and this place was a perfect stay. This place is much better than what the pictures show, spacious rooms and close by to anything an adventure may call for.

Eduardo
Spacious, clean, and well located

The condo was spacious, clean, and well located. It was very comfortable, well laid out, and had everything we needed. Jean was very communicative and accommodating. Would absolutely stay again.

Shala & Jeff
Best ever

The location is great!!!!!! Best ever!!!! The house is great and very convenient and comfortable! It’s a good experience!

Maggie

Our group had a generally pleasant stay at Tahoe for NYE. The location is fantastic and the added amenities of the jacuzzi and in-unit sauna make it a truly well-rounded ski trip experience. The real star of the show, however, was Ken. Upon our initial check-in, there appeared to be an electrical issue with the oven and dishwasher. He worked with us extensively to resolve the issue and ensure that our stay was not overwhelmingly impacted by the absence of these amenities. He continuously demonstrated that his top priority were the interests of his guests, even when mediating between us and the property owner. He informed us that these appliances are to be replaced, so these should no longer be issues in the future. We would absolutely stay here again and will certainly look to rent other units from Ken and his team!

Alexander Z.

We appreciate Ken for always being available to answer our questions. He was consistently kind in all of our communications! The proximity to the ski slope was fantastic – a short 5 min drive. We enjoyed evening walks through the nearby communities, and the views were incredible!

Sue P.

Location and proximity to Palisades and Alpine for first time snowboarding for teens was reason for booking. Beds and linens were comfortable and the fireplace was welcoming. Condo was as described, except that I did not anticipate having to climb so many stairs. Appreciate Ken’s guide and the green porch light made the unit easy to find. A map of the complex would have been helpful. Unfortunately the dedicated parking space was not ideal for parking the large vehicle we had as snow was piled at the front (and space had a lot of ice) and the access street was narrow and we would stick out; fortunately we were able to park in the larger visitor spots down the hill a bit. While the guide did mention we might need to shovel the parking, it was more work than I was willing to put in on a vacation trip.

Deanna C.

We had a great stay. Ken was very responsive. The kitchen is very well equipped. The shuttle to Palisades makes this super convenient. Only downside was having to shovel our parking spot (there were others available but we had a second car arriving late and wanted to be sure they’d have a spot).

Talia N.

Can’t beat the location! The access to both Palisades Tahoe and Alpine was great! We especially loved the sauna and fire place. Ken was very responsive when we had questions.

Amy B.

Place was great for our stay! Easy access to and from the mountain and held us all comfortably.

Matthew P.

Great spot for a ski trip. Family was comfortable and enjoyed their time.

Jake R.

Ken was a fantastic and extremely communicative host who made our stay lovely. The location was impossible to beat for skiing at Palisades and the house was perfect for a small group. I’d suggest using the Mountaineer app instead of the unreliable TART but everything about the rental unit was amazing!

Aaron K.

Amazing place close to the base for skiing and Ken was extremely helpful!

Christopher K.

Spacious condo in a perfect location for access to Palisades Tahoe, as well as Alpine Meadows resort. We had plenty of room for 6 adults with private bedrooms for 3 couples. The gas fireplace in the living room was well-used and much appreciated on a rainy winter weekend, with lots of soggy ski gear to dry! Ken was responsive when an issue came up, and he was great about addressing it. The condo complex is older, but still quite functional and better located than most other options in this price range.

Jennifer M.

Jennifer didn’t flip the breaker to resolve a tripped breaker in the bedroom we called her Gabe her instructions said she did everything became irritated that we had done something wrong. I asked her again outside of our detailed guide to flip all breakers to triple check said she had. Sent an electrician out on a Saturday morning flipped the breaker and resolved the issue cost us 525$ which could have been avoided if she had just followed my instructions and when I kindly asked her over the phone to make sure she flipped all breakers in both closets downstairs.

Jennifer M.

Great stay only minor complaint was the WiFi was a bit slow.

Be mindful of the shuttle to palisades not running because that happened to us but obviously out of control of the host!

Other than that great experience!

Giuseppe A.

Nice place to stay in the village. Would stay again.

Kellen B.

great location, easy to get to, close to palisades village, tahoe ciy and truckee. hiking and fishing very close.

John H.

Excellent place, peaceful and wonderful paradise.

María Camila C.

We had a fantastic stay at Ken’s condo near Palisades Tahoe! The location was ideal—quiet and peaceful, yet just steps from hiking trails, the village, and all the summer activities. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony and pleasant views. Although, in a condo complex, it is quiet and relaxing. Location was excellent, easy access to the resort area and Tahoe City. Ken was responsive and thoughtful, making check-in a breeze. They provided an online manual which had a ton of information on the condo, when we had an issue, we found the solution in the manual..super helpful! We used the pool, played pickleball, all around great place to stay.

Felizia&Zack K.

Ken place was awesome perfect location for what we needed.

Diego M.

Great communication from the host. Place is spacious and clean. Sauna is a big plus.

Approximate Property Location

Things To know

Where you’ll be

Olympic Valley, California, United States

The Tavern Inn Condominiums sit in one of Olympic Valley’s most coveted locations—close enough to enjoy the energy of Palisades Tahoe, yet tucked into a quieter corner that feels peaceful and residential. Guests love staying here for the rare mix of convenience, natural beauty, and easy access to year-round recreation.

In winter, you’re just minutes from the lifts at Palisades Tahoe, with nearby trails for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Après-ski dining and drinks are close by, and Tahoe City’s winter activities, including ice skating and sledding, are only a short drive away.

When the snow melts, the valley becomes a summer playground. Miles of hiking and mountain biking trails begin right from the area, and the Truckee River—ideal for rafting and scenic walks—is moments away. Guests also enjoy seasonal access to the complex’s pool, hot tub, tennis courts, and pickleball courts, offering a comfortable place to unwind between adventures.

With quick access to Tahoe City’s dining, shops, and lakefront beaches, the Tavern Inn neighborhood delivers a balanced experience: quiet, convenient, and central to everything that makes Lake Tahoe special all year long.

Access

As our guest, you will have private access to the entire 3-bedroom condo including private cedar sauna on first floor.
You will also have access to fantastic shared community amenities to enhance your stay. These include:
*A refreshing swimming pool
*A relaxing hot tub
*A community tennis court
Please note that the shared pool and hot tub are available seasonally. We recommend confirming their operational status for your specific travel dates.

Transit

Getting to Palisades & Alpine (No Car Needed)

Staying at Tavern Inn Condominiums places you in one of the most convenient locations in Olympic Valley — especially during ski season.

The nearest TART (Tahoe Area Regional Transit) stop is just a short walk from the Tavern Inn complex (approximately 3–5 minutes on foot).

The ride to Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley) takes only a few minutes.

From Palisades, you can connect directly to Alpine Meadows using the resort’s free inter-base shuttle.

In most cases, you can be at the lifts faster by shuttle than by driving and parking.

Free Palisades Tahoe Shuttles

Palisades Tahoe operates a free mountain shuttle that runs regularly between:

Palisades Base Area

Alpine Meadows Base Area

This makes it easy to ski both mountains in one day without moving your car.

TART Public Transit (Free Service)

TART provides free, year-round transit throughout North Lake Tahoe, including service between:

Olympic Valley

Tahoe City

Kings Beach

Truckee (seasonal connections)

During winter, TART is one of the most reliable ways to move around the area safely.

Olympic Valley receives some of the heaviest snowfall in the Sierra. Roads can be icy, parking is limited, and resort lots often fill early.

Our Recommendation

For the smoothest winter experience, plan to use TART and the free Palisades Tahoe shuttles. They’re close, convenient, and designed to make getting to the slopes effortless.

Interaction with guests

We’re committed to making your stay at the Tavern Inn comfortable and seamless. Our team is available daily from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM to answer questions, assist with any needs, and provide local guidance. The quickest way to reach us is through phone or text during these hours; email is best for non-urgent matters. We respond promptly and keep communication clear and efficient.

For instant access to property details—check-in steps, Wi-Fi information, amenity instructions, transit options, and local recommendations—please refer to your TouchStay digital guide. It’s designed to answer most questions right away and help you enjoy your time in Olympic Valley without delay.

We respect your privacy, but we’re always here when you need us.
