RIVENDELL'S HISTORY
Rivendell is the second oldest home in Olympic Valley (after the former Poulsen family home that is now Graham's Restaurant and the Christy Lodge). The cabin has been owned by the same family for over 50 years. When the 1960 Winter Olympics were in Tahoe, the cabin was used as a media center, and CBS filmed the Olympic ski jump from the cabin (the remains of the Olympic ski jump are still visible directly across from the cabin's front door). Don't miss your chance to stay in a piece of Olympic Valley history!
