1 mile to ski at Palisades * Dog Friendly * Pool table

Chuck's Yacht received it's name because the owner had a choice between buying a yacht or building a house in Squaw Valley - we are very glad he chose to build this lovely home - you will be too! Please note this home is NOT available as a ski lease.

This pet-friendly home is located right in Squaw Valley and is the perfect family retreat any time of year! It is located less than a mile to the slopes - with all level access and a covered carport. The open floor plan has high timbered ceilings and a wall of windows to take in the forest views and watch the snow fall. Settle into the plush sofas in the great room and get cozy by the large wood burning fireplace, watch a movie or the game on the flat screen TV, or enjoy an apres ski glass of wine and fine conversation with friends. The updated kitchen is perfect for entertaining, preparing big meals for the whole group, and serving up a buffet dinner at the long breakfast bar. The central dining area seats 8, with more seating at the counter.

The main living level also has a bedroom with a queen bed and a nicely updated full bathroom.

Downstairs there is a big family room with a pool table, bar height table perfect for games and a nice seating area with a queen-size sofa bed and a second TV. There are two more bedrooms and a updated full bath on this lower level. The second bedroom has a king bed and the third bedroom has three twins, one of which has a twin trundle. There is also a full laundry room with a washer and dryer.

Enjoy the close convenience to Palisades Tahoe ski slopes, just 4 minutes away. Discover boundless opportunities for relaxation and adventure in Palisades Tahoe and just down the road at world-renowned Lake Tahoe, any season of the year! Chuck's Yacht will be the perfect mountain retreat for your whole family, including the dog!

Great location, great house!
We mostly just used the place as somewhere to sleep and didn't spend much time there. But the place was great. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were nice, place was clean! Only comment was the basement room had a little odor. But you didn't notice it after 30 seconds. Would definitely stay again!

great place for families in Olympic Valley
My Family loved this house. It’s conveniently located a few minutes from Palisades, and is on the route for a free on-demand shuttle that we saw around the neighborhood quite frequently. The house is well-appointed, and the kids loved playing pool and sledding on the gradual slope on the side yard. And the property managers are great, including because they kindly let us check in a few hours early to get ahead of some weather.

Great Home Base for Ski Trip
Quiet neighborhood, quick and easy to get to skiing with the free Mountaineer service, two separate big open areas to hang out upstairs and downstairs. Pool table was a bonus. Plenty of kitchen space for group cooking. Very comfortable, but not too fancy. Relaxing. Just what we needed.

Everything was good, except that there was a power outage and we were without heating for almost 48 hours. The property manager only recommended us to light the fire, not very attentive. We had to sleep beside the fireplace because it was freezing inside the house

Great stay at Chuck's Yacht
We had a great family week in Tahoe staying at Chuck's Yacht! The location is fabulous if you are skiing at Palisades or Alpine...The house is comfortable with a large family room/kitchen that is well stocked, good sized mudroom for one family to hang up their ski equipment (even 2 would be comfortable) and a game room downstairs. The largest bed downstairs was not the most comfortable...I would bring my own pillows if I stayed in that bed again. And don't forget to bring firewood, firestarter and a lighter. We were lucky to have lots of snow come down while we were there....parking for one car is covered which is terrific. We felt welcome in this home and were very happy. Thank you so much!

Cute place with great deck
Enjoyed our time here. Nice place. Beds were fair. The teenagers loved having the lower level with the pool table and own tv. Really nice separation. ;-) Carpets were definitely previously soiled from other dogs staying there but couldn't smell it, so it was fine. Really nice neighborhood and close to biking trails, which was awesome. We'd stay again.

The furniture is old and worn lighting is dingy and overall cleanliness is very poor
Not a cabin I’d recommend for family or friends get away as it’s poorly lit floors and rugs are dirty and furniture and beds are old and worn blinds are broken and many have stains . We have been regular renters from VRBO for years this is our 1st poor experience hope this is not a new trend and just an isolated case with property they sponsor

Super comfy cabin
We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is very cozy with so much space and lots of places to sit and relax. Check in and out was very easy. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can think of including things I was not expecting like alum foil and storage bags. We would definitely rent this property again.

Chuck's Yacht
Chuck's yacht is a comfortable property, spacious, nice kitchen and living room area. Nice deck in a great area - near Squaw valley. Pool table downstairs was fun! It has all you need. It does need a few repairs, that I reported - blinds don't work well, sliding door needs a new lock - things like that, but we enjoyed it despite the terrible smoke in the air that week!

Dated and needs a Thorough Cleaning
This house is in a great location. Lots of great walking paths nearby. The neighborhood is fun to walk through to see all the different styles of houses. The house itself is very dark and looks dated. The bedroom set ups are not as listed on the website. The main floor has a queen bed in the master bedroom. Downstairs one bedroom has a king size bed, the other has 3 twins. My main complaint with the house is a lack of cleanliness. We had to wash all the kitchen linens before use, placemats, oven gloves, and dish towels. They were all dirty. The top of the microwave (literally furry with dirt and dust) and a backsplash strip were filthy. The inside of the dryer is dirty too. Who wants to put clean clothes in a dirty dryer? Many of the pots and pans were also dirty and very stained from use. So unappetizing to use for cooking! The inside of all the cupboards and drawers are also dirty. I had to clean one just to be able to put our groceries in it. The layout of the house worked well for us. Hopefully the property manager/owner can address cleanliness issues. I probably wouldn’t stay here again or recommend this house.

Nice cabin, nice location
This house was spacious and comfortable, and just as advertised. It was also well-located halfway between Tahoe City and Truckee, and very close to Squaw Village. We even walked to the Village a couple times. The deck is also really nice. Very sunny and surrounded by trees. The house is well-stocked with movies and games, and has Netflix and Hulu, too.
