RIVENDELL'S HISTORY
Rivendell is the second oldest home in Olympic Valley (after the former Poulsen family home that is now Graham's Restaurant and the Christy Lodge). The cabin has been owned by the same family for over 50 years. When the 1960 Winter Olympics were in Squaw Valley the cabin was used as a media center and CBS filmed the Olympic ski jump from the cabin (the remains of the Olympic ski jump is still visible directly across from the cabin's front door). Don't miss your chance to stay in a piece of Olympic Valley history!

THE LOCATION
Located in the heart of Olympic Valley, this property is located on Christy Lane across the street from Palisades Tahoe Ski Resort, only 7 miles from Tahoe City and 11 miles from Truckee.

What we love about this property is the stunning mix of luxurious amenities and tasteful updated furnishings while highlighting and respecting old Tahoe history. This 6 bedroom, 5 bath home sleeps up to 12 adults and 16 w/kids. Immerse yourself in old Tahoe charm while staying walking distance to the lifts! We look forward to welcoming you to Rivendell on your next Palisades Tahoe getaway!
