Olympic Village Inn at Squaw Valley Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Olympic Village Inn"

Quote:
OVI was home to the Olympians for the 1960 Winter Olympics. The property was remodeled into units with an Alpine feel.

The larger units have a kitchen/dining area, living room, and bedroom. The living room has a wood burning fireplace and a balcony. Each unit has a view of the surrounding mountains no matter where you look.

The resort has a number of planned activities, like water aerobics in the heated swimming pool, an orientation reception, wine and cheese party, snow shoe treks, rock wall climbing and pizza for the kids, and craft activities in the village. The lobby is roomy, yet cozy, and the staff is devoted to the guests.
