Close to skiing, ski lifts, and more, this smoke-free cottage brings it all within reach. Tahoe National Forest is just steps away and Northstar Golf Course is within an easy 14-minute walk, so leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking.

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink on the balcony; you may also like the BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, flat-screen TV, and DVD player.

A living room, a fireplace, and a ceiling fan are featured at this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have a washing machine.
