Some rentals are just places to sleep; Mt. Jola is a piece of local history you get to live in for a few days. Built in 1955, this Olympic Valley home once housed reporters covering the 1960 Winter Olympics, and it still wears that era proudly. Step inside and you're somewhere — and sometime — else: eclectic, old-school interiors layered with colorful art, patterned wallpaper, and wood on nearly every surface. Even the beams have a backstory; as the home's lore goes, they once framed the railroad tunnels of Donner Summit.
The whole place has the feel of an oversized treehouse. A charming library nook doubles as a workspace for anyone who has to check in with the real world, big windows pull the surrounding forest inside, and a sprawling patio stretches out under the pines for slow mornings and long evenings in the mountain air.
Best of all, you're right in the heart of it. The ski lifts and the Village at Palisades Tahoe sit within walking distance, so you can ski, drop your gear, and wander over to the shops and restaurants without ever moving the car. After a day on the mountain, the village's spots for a bite or an après-ski drink are an easy stroll away — then it's back to your very own slice of Olympic Valley history provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!
Situated in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake’s cobalt blue water. Whether you’re looking for a day in the mountains or a booze cruise on the lake, you can have it all in Tahoe.
