PERFECT FAMILY GETAWAY! Historic CRYSTAL SPRINGS INN is all yours - 4,000 sq ft!

NEW! Perfect family getaway for any time of year - Our beautiful, historic 1890's Victorian Farmhouse (5 bed/4 bath) features a swimming pool (not a winter option - open from mid-May to mid-September only!), fire pit (when allowed by county), a relaxing front porch and plenty of space to spread out. We normally operate as a Bed & Breakfast during winter, but with the COVID crisis we decided on whole home rentals to share our wonderful home. Lots of local activities and our home will accommodate up to 20 guests (with shared beds) making it the perfect getaway for your friends, family or both! We do see a bit of snow in the winter time, and our large yard is perfect for snow play. We can set up badminton in the front yard, bean bag toss, and help you plan the perfect family activities. We have wi-fi available (as well as excellent cell phone coverage), but we encourage you to disconnect and enjoy your surroundings. We have a large well stocked kitchen for your meals (we can also recommend a local caterer that delivers), a parlor, media room, study and dining area, along with 5 bedrooms (one bedroom is a suite that has 3 sleeping areas - we call it the Bunk House) and 4 baths. Each room has a TV and DVD player and we have an extensive DVD inventoried library. Our location is perfect for almost every outdoor adventure. Hiking, fishing (lakes and rivers), rafting, the PCT, boating, skiing & snowboarding, even rock climbing are all within 30 minutes of Alta. Some even start a morning hike right outside our front door. We are approximately one hour from the Reno or Sacramento Airports and 45 minutes from Truckee and a few minutes more to Lake Tahoe.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.
