PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn provides a perfect escape for city-dwellers, ski fanatics, or anyone who wants to breathe in the super-fresh mountain air. The refurbished inn is best described as nouveau-rustic and all of the 61 rooms at PlumpJack are appointed with luxe bathrooms and modern, wrought-iron accents. Outside in the courtyard of the cozy, split-level retreat lie the frolic-worthy pool and hot tub(s). But, the seen and be scene spot in Tahoe is for sure the PlumpJack Cafe. It consistently serves up the best gourmet food in the land of the great lake. But if your taste buds are leaning towards lighter fare, you can always sit in the downstairs bar by the fire and fill your belly with a gourmet burger or Caesar salad. “Squaw” as it’s been nicknamed by ski bunnies and lovers of the picturesque valley, provides endless opportunities to recreate. Snow or shine, guests at The PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn can enjoy the fun and funky Village environs. It’s chock full of shops (including the sassy/sporty PlumpJackSport boutiques) as well as places like the Balboa Café where you can kick back and soak in the Squaw Valley sun on their patio while enjoying one of their famous burgers. Because PlumpJack’s location is at the base of the mountain, guests can head straight to the Cable Car and up to High Camp where they can hike and play “between the earth and the stars.”
