Lodge-like clubhouse in Squaw Valley – gardeny setting is perfect for BBQs. Borrowable bikes and snowshoes if you’re up for an adventure.

Ski, rando, boutiques, paris – ne pas savoir ce qu'on va faire ensuite est un de nos problèmes préférés.

Le style rustique donne l'impression que le Petit Chaperon Rouge va toquer à la porte d'un instant à l'autre.

30 hectares boisés émaillés de multiples chalets, qui offrent toutes sortes d'hébergements, des chambres classiques aux studios en passant par de vastes maisons.

Set on the edge of Lake Tahoe – and steps from a ski resort – you can snow ski in the winter and water ski in the summer.

You’ve got your pick of outdoors-y to-dos around this gem, ranging from hiking to river rafting (ask the adventure concierge for a killer rec).

Each room has unique boutiquey flair so you’ll always be one of a kind.

Family owned for 4 generations, perched on 4 acres, starring nearly 250 full-grown pines – yet just a mile from Tahoe City.

Authentic Mexican joint onsite (don’t leave without trying the guac) + spot-on home-style fare at the 24-hour grill (aka your eats are more than covered).

Warm, gooey cinnamon rolls at the complimentary hot breakfast make our morning.

Idyllically situated atop the Sierra Nevadas (aka jaw-dropping views all around).

Suite/condo-style setup in historic Genoa, with upscale eats at the 1862 Restaurant and more casual fare at the Saloon Bar.
