There’s a lot to love about this lodge-like resort in Squaw Valley, seven miles from Tahoe City. You’ll find ski-in ski-out access, on-site snow rentals and shopping, outdoor hot tubs and swimming pool, upscale and casual dining choices, and even a Bocce court. Accommodations range from intimate guest rooms to the lavish Penthouse Suite. Dogs are welcome for an extra fee, and there are nearby hiking trails abound. Bonus: PlumpJack’s philanthropic endeavors support cancer research and fight childhood poverty and hunger.
