Map & Owner's Profile
Northstar at Tahoe 3 BR, Central Location, on Ski-Back Trail
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Northstar
I grew up in Santa Clara County in the Bay Area and learned to ski at Tahoe when I was 4 or 5 years old. I have skied there almost every year of my life since. I have a timeshare in Park City, but when it came time to go full ownership, there was no question of where to go. Tahoe is more beautiful and of course has great nostalgic value for me.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
One of my top priorities and the greatest benefit I enjoy is being able to ski back down to my condo. It's a dream come true. Often I just ski down for lunch. One thing I don't miss about skiing elsewhere is schlepping all the equipment to the car and back and driving 30 or 40 minutes to the resort. I didn't realize it when I first bought the condo, but summer is a great time at Tahoe, too and at Northstar in particular. I discovered they have a great tennis program at the recreation center.
Owner's Map of Northstar
My wife and I are veterinarians in Escondido, California near San Diego. We have two kids, one in college at UC Santa Barbara and one in high school. I love skiing and tennis. I have also been doing Tae Kwon Do for 14 years. We have two dogs, three horses and a cat. My wife loves to ride and show Quarter horses.

We were here August 1-8. Beautiful weather, ranging from warm to cool. Great hikes: rested at Sawmill Lake and saw an eagle there! The condo was was a wonderful refuge. Great to have a computer we could do searches on. Very clean and comfortable all around. A memorable visit we would like to repeat.

We stayed for a weekend and really liked it. We went with another family and both familes have small children - 5 total! It was a perfect set up for us. One family took the bottom bedrooms and we took the top bedroom. There were extra blankets and pillows for us to make a little bed on the floor for our kids upstairs. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. It was clean and well maintained. Although the condo has lots of stairs, baby gates were available to help contain the kids. The living room had a nice fireplace and comfy couches. The Northstar shuttle runs from the condo to the village making traveling between the two very easy. The owner was very helpful with information on traveling up from the Bay Area during a pretty bad storm. We would definitely stay here again!!

Our family had a great time on our ski vacation to Northstar! The condo was clean, big and has all the necessaries (paper towels, shampoo, spices, laundry etc.) - no need to bring the basics. There was a ton of snow the weekend we were there, and lots of traffic on Northstar drive. Fortunately, the condo was close enough for us (2 adults, 3 daughters) to walk to/from the village to avoid car traffic. The shuttle is very easy to take as well (except the traffic was awful b/c of the snow and car accidents - we walked back to the condo in 10 minutes which would have taken at least 30 minutes via shuttle). We will visit again! The owner is extremely helpful.
Owner response:I am glad things went well and sorry to hear about the traffic, but as you say, staying within walking distance gives you the option to avoid it. Heavy snow does aggravate the traffic situation. Avoiding the equipment "schlep" and drive to the resort is a primary reason I bought this condo. I never grow tired of being able to ski back down to it. Although we do our best to keep the "basics" in stock such as shampoo and body wash, it is not guaranteed and we do especially encourage guests to bring along their own if they have a favorite shampoo or conditioner. Thank you for your business and we look forward to having you back.

The condo was perfect for our family....size of rooms and beds. The location is really nice as you don't have to drive to the pool or village with all the wonderful shops and restaurants. The owner could not have been more helpful and honest and a real delight to work with. We will definitely go back again!!!

We had a great 3 night stay at this townhouse. It was very spacious and comfortable for our family. Our two teen boys loved being so close to the Village at Northstar. This townhouse is in a great location for year-round adventures.

The condo was in excellent condition, was well stocked with everything that was needed. The barbeque was a little cranky, but it did the job! Everything was clean and comfortable, a little dusty, but that is to be expected in the mountains! The resort was full of fun and friendly people, and hiking trails by the unit were perfect for kids (of all ages!). We would definetely recommend this property to friends and relatives. My family wants to come back!
Owner response:Thank you Judy. After contacting you privately, I now know that the barbecue vents were a little sticky to close and that the dust you mentioned was on the blinds, so next time I'm up, I'll lubricate those vents and I'll ask the housekeeper to look after the blinds next cleaning. Many thanks. We appreciate the constructive feedback. Alex

I took my wife and 6-year old daughter to Northstar for their first time skiing. So, I was looking to make this experience as easy and fun as possible. Part of that experience was to choose lodging as convenient and comfortable as possible. This condo is located in a great location about a quarter mile walking distance from the base of Northstar where the village is located. While not "ski on", it is a beautiful walk along a creek right into town. My daughter and I spent time right behind the condo building snowmen, having snowball fights, and sledding down small hills. The sleds were provided by the property owners. The condo was nice. Two bedrooms on the bottom floor -- one has two twins, great for kids. The living room and kitchen and patio are located on the middle floor. And, there's another bedroom and bathroom on the third floor -- kind of like a loft. Overall, we found the condo clean and comfortable, and loved the location.
