About this house rental

Welcome to Mt. Jola, an AvantStay home!

Built in 1955, this Olympic Valley home gives guests the unique opportunity to stay at a historic property that housed reporters during the 1960 Olympics. Inside, you’ll find eclectic, old school interiors that will transport you to a different place and time: colorful art, patterned wallpaper, and wooden everything. Fun fact– the home’s vintage beams once framed the railroad tunnels of Donner Summit! The property is reminiscent of an oversized treehouse with a charming library nook with office space, large windows, and a sprawling patio under the pines. It’s conveniently located within walking distance to the ski lifts and village, where you’ll find shops, restaurants, and bars for an après-ski drink. Cheers!

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.

Nearby Attractions: William Kent Beach, Kilner Park (Hiking and Biking), Palisades Tahoe, Pete n’ Peters (nightlife), Eagle Falls Trail (Hiking), Lighthouse Spa, Fire Sign Cafe, Inspiration Point Vista (Lookout Point).

    We had a wonderful week long stay with family; 6 adults, 2 young grandsons and their baby brother. The fresh heavy snow was a thrilling experience but caused travel issues and delayed our family arrive by 48 hrs. House is very spacious allowing everyone to be together or separate as desired. We sensed the home’s history and owners love of the mountain in every room of this house. Excellent libraries and fun games throughout. Kitchen is very well appointed. One negative input: the worst ever T-Paper. Very thin, stiff and not ‘user-friendly’. At this price for this location we would have expected quality T-Paper. We will definitely consider another stay at Mt Jola.

    We had a lovely stay at this property which is located right next to a slope down to the chair lifts. Great skiing and the Palisades is now one of our favorite locations for skiing! However, there is no easy access. We had to walk uphill from the house on the road with ski gear to then climb over the snow bank (that was quite high this season with so much snow). Not so easy but possible. No one had commented on this when we did the research to find a place to stay. Mt.Jola is just a short walk into the Olympic Village which was very convenient to go for shopping or food. We also enjoyed driving to Lake Tahoe and into Truckee to some very nice restaurants. Parking - we had a group and rented a big van which had difficulty getting up the hill to the house on the curvy lane when it was snow covered. There is really no place to turn around. But the parking space 'over the bridge' as noted is a short walk which is where we had to park the van. We parked a car right at the house but note the space is directly besides a car parked for the next property (downhill) so it is a tight squeeze. The house is very eclectic in style and funky which was entertaining but a few points need to be made: * gas fireplaces were very difficult to work and we could not get the master bedroom one to light * several doors/closets are locked - more than a typical home rental * some closets were not locked but loaded with things so the storage is very limited even with so many rooms and floors

    Our whole crew really enjoyed our stay. This is our second hear in the home and we saw improvements since last year - more kitchen supplies and tools, space heaters, etc - that made the stay even better than before. Kudos to the caretaker, who spent the last three days of our stay shoveling and snowblowing!!
