West Meadows

West Meadows in Kirkwood delivers a peaceful escape among towering pines and oak trees. Families stroll quiet sidewalks while kids laugh in neighborhood parks with playgrounds.

Palisades

Palisades at Kirkwood offers coveted ski-in/ski-out access to Sierra Nevada slopes, sitting steps from Kirkwood Mountain Resort's famous powder stashes and express lifts. Summer transforms the area into a hiker's paradise with alpine meadows and granite peaks. The peaceful, uncrowded atmosphere makes it perfect for travelers seeking outdoor adventure without resort crowds. Luxury chalets and condos with private hot tubs and mountain views dominate the accommodation scene. Most dining options cluster at the resort base lodge, serving hearty Alpine cuisine with seasonal hours. Personal vehicles are essential, as public transit is limited and the remote location demands four-wheel drive in winter months.

Learn more about Kirkwood

Tucked into the Sierra Nevada mountains, this intimate ski resort offers powder hounds the rare joy of uncrowded slopes and pristine conditions. Kirkwood Mountain Resort delivers thrilling runs for every skill level, from beginner-friendly to challenging. After conquering the mountain, gather around crackling fire pits for hot cocoa and s'mores – a ritual that feels earned rather than touristy. Summer visitors can explore the surrounding Eldorado National Forest trails, where alpine meadows replace snow fields. For a perfect day trip, soak tired muscles at Grover Hot Springs State Park, where natural thermal pools sit surrounded by pine forests. The tiny year-round population ensures an authenticity that larger Tahoe resorts lost decades ago.

"The Hotel is very clean and the staff were terrific! There was construction going on outside of our room, so that’s why we marked it as good and not excellent as far as cleanliness. Otherwise it was perfect! The only bummer was that it cost $30.00 to park each day and when we got our email about what to expect it said mandatory valet. Hotels.com did not say anything about that, so we were really thrown off when we read that. Thankfully we were able to self park but we still had to pay the $30.00. We will definitely want to stay there again, but hopefully they change thier parking arrangements once the construction is over with."

"Overall everything was pretty great but not sure if I was getting scammed or if there was a miscommunication. I went to the bar during happy hour the day I arrived and got a couple of drinks and food. Was charged full price but when I mentioned happy hour they fixed it saying that happy hour went away, despite it being on the paper I was given at check in 30 minutes prior. The rest was a good experience overall."
