This place is great! Especially if you want to spend the day boarding/skiing and then relaxing at home. The view is amazing (though a bit sunny) and you can watch riders coming down all day. The place has paid laundry and it was difficult to get detergent. Bring your own detergent or bring quarters get it in the washing room. Also, washing/drying is $8 (can be paid with card). This airbnb came with one parking spot (underground). I’d definitely come back!

We had a great stay, and would highly recommend this property. The house is very well-equipped and comfortable, and it is located within walking distance of restaurants and food stores, as well as the light rail A line. Vanessa is a friendly, proactive host who is easy to communicate with. Altogether a great experience.

A serene oasis near North Berkeley, not far from great restaurants and right next to a lovely park with access to Berkeley’ rose garden. The place was clean, well designed with all the amenities and a very comfy bed.

Vanessa was so responsive, easy to get ahold of, and her communication was proactive. The space was absolutely beautiful, and the view was breathtaking. Not to mention one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. My best friend and I both slept through the night without waking up once (which never happens). We stopped by the rose garden on the way out which was also incredibly to see. And very close! Thank you again, Vanessa! We are hoping to come back to stay again in the future.

We stayed at Vanessa’s beautiful home in Olympic Valley for a wedding weekend and couldn’t have been happier. The location was perfect — steps from the Village, with stunning mountain views and easy access to everything. The home was spotless, cozy, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Vanessa was a wonderful host — responsive, kind, and made sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Olympic Valley!

Beautiful house in a great location. If you’re inclined to cook, as one of our party was, you’ll enjoy the well-stocked kitchen. I’m not sure how many people choose to bake bread on vacation, but we appreciated the proofing function on the oven!

Our family has been coming to Olympic Valley since 2022 for the Western States Endurance Run 100, and each year is special! This year we lucked out with finding this amazing home that was close to everything we needed. The support and connection was 100%! So many hikes, swimmable places and great food to eat all right there. More memories for our family! Thank you to our hosts for this opportunity! And to the next guest, you’ll enjoy your stay!

We had a nice stay at Vanessa's house. We enjoyed the proximity to lots of good restaurants and coffee shops, the spacious interior and the office was a great place to get a little work done.

We stayed at Vanessa’s place during our wedding weekend, and it was the perfect home base. Squeaky clean, spacious, and an awesome, well stocked kitchen. Great outdoor space, easy to get in and out and a kinda and responsive host; we really couldn’t have asked for more! Highly recommend.

My husband and I loved everything about this guesthouse: the beautiful view (including a spectacular sunset), the peacefulness, and the minimalist modern/boho decor! The bed was super comfortable. It was convenient to “Gourmet Ghetto,” with so many great eateries, and it was such a pleasure to come back to the guesthouse after hikes and meeting old friends. Vanessa was friendly and responsive. We hated to leave!
