Unwind and make unforgettable memories at our secluded Alta cabin in the Sierra Tahoe mountains. Nestled at 3,500 ft. on 8 private acres of forest, we invite you to get comfortable and experience Northern California like never before. Our cabin is centrally located between the Tahoe / Donner ski resorts and the Gold Country. This 3 bedroom and 1 bath cabin will accommodate 6-7 people comfortably. Enjoy the outdoors for the day and come home to your own cabin retreat with a hot tub and fireplace!
The space
Local Ski Resorts:
35 minutes - Boreal, Sugar Bowl and Donner Ski Ranch
50 minutes - Northstar CA Resort, Palisades / Olympic Valley and Alpine Meadows
When you enter the cabin you are greeted with an open floor plan feel. Our cabin features vaulted ceilings in the living and dining room with floor to roof windows allowing you to take in sweeping woodland views and tons of natural sunlight. Our fully stocked kitchen allows the conversation to continue whether the group is hanging out at the dining table or large couch area. Get cozy on the couch and warm up with the log burning fireplace with plenty of wood supplied!
In the morning, enjoy sipping coffee in silence amongst the wildlife on the wrap-around deck or a night BBQing with the family under the starry night sky. During the winter months, enjoy the outdoors playing in the snow (after a good storm) or at a local snow park or ski resort within a 35 minute drive.
Upstairs is a large loft room with a King bed and work desk to enjoy the amazing view looking out the wall of windows into the forest. The main level has a bedroom with a queen bed and another bedroom with full sized bunk beds and a twin trundle (small children only). All of our beds have memory foam mattresses and comfy bedding.
The bathroom is fully stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The vanity and sink is located outside from the shower and is stocked with bathroom essentials.
The cabin has a Verizon 5G Wi-Fi hot spot for light use to stay connected if your phone carrier does not work at the cabin. So whether you came to fill your days with outdoor activities or unplug off-the-grid we can all agree that time spent at a cabin is time well spent.
If you have any specific questions or need recommendations, please do not hesitate to reach out. We look forward to making your stay a memorable one.
Guest access
You will have the whole property during your stay with your guests. There is a secondary building that is not accessible. Before your check in we will send you a code for the electronic lock and the lock box with keys as a backup.
Other things to note
Road Access - The cabin is a quarter mile down a gravel/dirt road. During the dry season all cars will not have any problems. During the winter months, it is highly recommended to have all wheel drive or good off road/snow rated tires. If the driveway requires plowing we will schedule for it to be done before your stay.
Recreational Vehicles - Alta is at the gateway of off road and winter sports in the Tahoe National Forest. Our property has plenty of space to park any toys you bring along!
There is train crossing half a mile away and they are required to blow their horn as they approach the crossing. It is noticeable to some when there is no other noise in the cabin, otherwise it is not.
Outdoor Furniture - During the winter we put away the cushions due to rain and snow.
Occupancy Tax - Your reservation includes a mandated Placer County 8% occupancy tax.
