Detailed Description:
Enjoy mountain living at this top-floor 2-bedroom Alpine Meadows condo, ideally located within walking/skiing distance to the ski lifts, hiking, and biking trails. Whether you're visiting in the heart of winter or during Tahoe's sunny summer months, this cozy retreat puts you right where you want to be. After a day on the slopes at Alpine Meadows or exploring nearby trails, unwind in comfort and take in the peaceful alpine setting. Wonderfully positioned between all that the north shore has to offer, while still getting that “away from it all” feel up in the mountains with beautiful views and nothing but the sounds of nature to fill your day.
Inside, the open living area invites you to relax with a large sofa, flat screen TV, and a wood-burning stove for cozy evenings after a day of adventure. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to prepare hearty meals. Share dinner around the dining table for six, or enjoy a casual breakfast at the kitchen bar for two while the cook works their magic.
This home comfortably accommodates six guests across two levels. Upstairs, the primary loft-style suite features a king bed and a twin bunk bed, along with a bathroom that includes a tub/shower combo and a separate large vanity area for added convenience.
Downstairs, the second bedroom offers a queen bed and a twin bunk bed, making it ideal for families or groups. The second bathroom also features a tub/shower combo, with the sink located outside the toilet area for easy access. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom can be closed off from the rest of the home to create a private suite, perfect for accommodating two families or groups traveling together.
Additional conveniences include a washer and dryer in the hallway, complimentary Wi-Fi, and one parking space available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Winter: You can't get any closer to Alpine Ski Resort at Palisades Tahoe. This condo sits on the last street before the resort parking begins! Skip the traffic and walk a short distance to the Alpine Meadows base area for an easy start to your ski day, or take the Base-to-Base Gondola to explore the slopes on the Palisades Tahoe side of the mountain.
Summer: When the snow melts, the adventure continues! Enjoy the best of Tahoe summer from this beautiful alpine setting, perfectly located for outdoor adventure and relaxing mountain evenings. Guests can walk directly from the neighborhood to Alpine Meadows hiking and biking trails, with easy access to three nearby trailheads. The popular Five Lakes Trail is just about a 2-minute drive or a scenic 15-minute walk away. You're also only about 5 minutes from the Truckee River and the end of the River Ranch rafting area, and just 10 minutes to Tahoe City, where you'll find Lake Tahoe beaches, paddleboarding, dining, shopping, and more. After a day exploring, come home to peaceful mountain surroundings and cool summer nights.

Tahoe Time Vacation Rentals is a locally owned and operated, boutique-style company—not a large nationwide chain. As a small, family-run business, we take pride in offering a personalized, hands-on approach to hospitality. Our homes are carefully selected and located in the quieter, more scenic areas of Lake Tahoe, including the California North Shore, Olympic Valley, Alpine Meadows, the West Shore down to Rubicon Bay, and the Palisades at Tahoe ski area.
What makes our company stand out is our dedication to being here for you. As long-time locals (thirty plus years), we are always available to assist with your stay, ensuring a seamless and memorable Tahoe experience from booking to check-out. Whether you're here for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, we're committed to making your time in Tahoe truly special.
REQUIRED COUNTY STR PERMIT INFORMATION: STR 25-9207 | TOT #624030 | Max Occupancy is 6 | 1 Parking Spaces. Parking on the street is strictly prohibited. All vehicles must be parked in the driveway and/or garage at all times. Guest must agree to read and comply with Placer County's Good Neighbor Policies.
County Rules
As part of the Short-Term Rental Permit for this home, the county asks that we share the important rules and regulations with you. We appreciate your cooperation in following the guidelines listed below, also included in your signed Vacation Rental Agreement.
Maximum Occupancy: There shall be no gatherings, events, weddings or other group functions on the Premises with more people than the number of persons stated on the Agreement.
Parking: Parking on the street is prohibited at all times. All cars, boats, and trailers must be parked in the garage and/or driveway.
Quiet Hours: Quiet hours are 9pm-8am, seven days a week. Per the County: No sound may be audible from the property line during quiet hours. Amplified sound (such as speakers) shall not be used outside or be audible from the parcel line of any short-term rental at any time.
Lights Out: All exterior lights must be turned off that are not needed for safety or other outdoor use to the extent that such other outdoor use is not an unreasonable nuisance to neighbors at night.
Red Flag Warnings: Due to high risk of wildfire in our area, bonfires, charcoal barbecues, and wood-burning fire pits are always prohibited. On designated Red Flag Warning Days—when fire danger is especially severe due to dry conditions and high winds—all outdoor fires are prohibited, including gas grills and gas fire pits. These restrictions come directly from the North Tahoe Fire Protection District and must be followed for everyone's safety. It is each guest's responsibility to stay informed about Red Flag Warnings. They are announced on local news, radio, and social media, and you'll also see signs posted at fire stations throughout the area.
Winter Driving: Many highways, access roads, and driveways in the Tahoe area can become icy during the winter. For your safety, it's essential that between November 1st and April 30th your vehicle is winter-ready. Make sure brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater, and exhaust system are in top condition. Tires should be properly inflated with excellent tread, and you should always carry tire chains—even if you have an AWD/4WD vehicle. Double-check that your chains fit your tires and are in good working order. On many state highways and county roads, four-wheel drive and snow tires are required for safe travel.
Please be prepared for winter conditions: dress appropriately, stay in bounds at ski resorts and if you get lost, remain in place.
Garbage & Bears: Please do not feed the bears. Black bears are very common in this area and, over time, many have become used to human food and trash. Because they no longer have a natural fear of people, you may see them during your spring, summer, or fall stay. Feeding bears is illegal, and leaving food outside, trash unsecured, or doors and windows unlocked can lead to serious property damage to both homes and vehicles. To help prevent this, all waste must be placed in bear-proof bins or dumpsters and the latches secured. Placer County sorts recycling from the waste for you at our materials recovery facilities.
Office Holiday Hours
The TTVR office is closed on New Year's Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate check-ins and check-outs on these dates. Thank you for understanding.

Great location, great communication with host. The space isn't huge (especially the kitchen) but it is furnished to maximize number of guests and works out great for a ski weekend.Thanks!
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
This fantastic home near Alpine Meadows was wonderful for our family. The layout was very spacious and comfortable and most things were intuitively placed. The unit was very warm and cozy during our late winter stay and we had everything we could need. We enjoyed the provided board games, playing outside in the snow and best of all we loved the 2 minute drive to Alpine! There are three half flights of stairs to climb inside a shared lobby before reaching the unit which was on the second floor. Getting in and out was simple and clear and we had no issues at all during our stay. Strong wifi connection and water that warmed quickly were bonuses. A lovely place we would definitely be happy to stay at again! Thank you so much!!
