A short distance from skiing, a ski area, and more, this smoke-free cottage lets you experience it all. There's convenient nearby parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 1-minute walk to Sierra Nevada Conservancy or the 11-minute walk to Snowcreek Golf Course.

After you return, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the hot tub; you may also like the patio and fitness center. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and DVD player.

This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental features a BBQ grill and a ceiling fan. Bathroom amenities include towels and shampoo. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And there's a washer/dryer, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
