The residence is ideally located in the Catamount building (see village map in "photos") built as the final phase of the Northstar Village and the gem of this development. A smaller and more intimate layout and proximity to the Gondola bar none, Catamount is perfectly situated for summer hiking and mountain biking and skiing in the winter. Shops, restaurants and many Village amenities are right outside your door; however, Catamount retains a quiet and private atmosphere.
The top floor with its vaulted ceilings and end unit location with Martis Valley views offers you style, warmth and true relaxation. This is a family home, not a rental unit, owned by a local family and stocked with the comforts of home. Game Boy, board games and puzzles for the kids and a fully stocked kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, and Jacuzzi bath tub for the adults. The balcony is the perfect place to read a book or enjoy the sun and morning coffee. The flat screen TV and surround sound makes for a great day on the couch watching golf or the cooking shows.
A uniquely designed residence, many pieces of original art are hung to reflect the mountain atmosphere and designer furniture reflects a comfortable yet sophisticated living space.
Please be sure to check calendar availability before you request rates for your stay; the link to the calendar is below. Ski Passes are located in the key box on the wall just inside the front door - the ski locker key is attached. Please be sure to return the passes!
There will be a $200 hold on your credit card to reserve the date, and act as a damage deposit. This hold will be released when the unit has been cleaned after your stay. You should see the hold released within 2-3 days after departing the property.

Map & Owner's Profile
Ski Passes 2bd/2.5BA Northstar Village Condo Top Floor/Gondola
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Northstar
Northstar is rated as one of the top ski destinations in the Lake Tahoe Area and is now owned by Vail Resorts. Lake Tahoe is close by and the skiing here is protected from the winds by it's location on the mountain and the tree stands that line the slopes. The half pipe and terrain park is a real hit with the teen boarders and the skating rink is enjoyed by all. If you are not skiing then there is a very vibrant Village life to explore! Truckee, a charming Western town, is 20 minutes away.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Our end unit is very quiet and features vaulted ceilings and heated bathroom floors. The proximity to the Gondola is fantastic during the ski season and the building has it's own private hot tub area (2), steam, sauna and work out facility. We are close to the Starbucks and the wonderful new restaurant called Baxters. Be sure to grocery shop in the Safeway in Kings Beach for groceries. Balance Massage studio (530) 562-1164 is in our building downstairs.
Another great restaurant location & apres ski right outside our front door call (530)562-1800

The picture do not do justice to the actual unit and its location!! It ideally located in the village and the condo is kept in excellent condition (simply like a home vs. rental). My family and I stayed over the Christmas / NYE holiday week and had a wonderful time and enjoyed all the ammenities the condo provided as well as Northstar. We will come back again!! I just looked for spring break and it's booked already : (.... you have to book fast --- this unit goes fast!!

Wonderful place to stay!! Like a previous reviewer, I hesitate to say how great this place is because I hope to have many return visits. Love the village. Love how easy it was to ski and get all our gear back. Very comfortable. We have three little kids and they loved it. The owners' manager is super responsive. Pictures are true to life. Looking forward to our return visit!
Owner response:Thank you for such nice comments! Check back with us for the summer months it's beautiful .

luxurious winter vacation at Northstar

Our family has vacationed in Tahoe for many years. However, this was a first time for us at Northstar, and a stay in the actual resort. We came with my parents, and our two young daughters (4 year old and 7 month old). Unfortunately, one of the things that cannot be predicted about going to Tahoe for a ski vacation is the weather - and we did not get lucky this time. But, our stay in this amazing Northstar condo really made up for it. The rental includes 2 ski passes for each day of stay - so, we did not feel like we wasted any $ for ski tickets and we only ended up skiing partial days (on the manmade snow that Northstar had - which was more than any other resort in Tahoe at the time). Our older daughter enjoyed going to ski school as well as the bunjee jumping area for kids (we also took her skiing a few times ourselves). My parents were able to stroll around with our 7 month old around the village and enjoy a beautiful village steps away from the condo with the convenience of always being able to come back for feedings, changes, etc. We really enjoyed the convenience of the ski locker downstairs, the garage parking and lift to our floor without needing to go outside, the fitness center and the outdoor sauna, as well as the gondola right outside our door. We also got to go see a movie one night and to the Baxter's bar/bistro in the village after kids went to bed (and our parents stayed with them). The condo is beautiful and modern with all the amenities (incl. humidifiers in each room, all kitchen appliances imaginable, etc.). This condo is perfect for up to two families stay with children (esp. small) when you need the conveniences such as this to be able to still enjoy the ski vacation. We really loved our stay and hope to be back (during a much better ski season :) ).
Owner response:Glad to hear you had fun without much snow! Thanks for the nice review.

...But this was HOME! Stayed here for my son's wedding in the Village! From the moment I walked in the door I could feel the anxiety and stress escape me. The pictures truly don't do it justice. I was hesitant to leave a comment for fear the next time I'd like to stay it would be all booked up. LOL. I would suggest to anyone looking to rent this beautiful condo to bring their own spices if you plan to do any cooking. Also, check to see if there is construction going on nearby. The Village itself is like an echo chamber and construction noise began early...6:15 a.m. Upon my arrival, there was no record of my reservation. After a few phone calls the problem was resolved. Because of my inconvenience the owner promised me a bottle of wine...how's that for customer service? NICE! The owner and management person are very easy to work with. I will definitely want to stay here again!

We loved our stay here in this well-equipped well-located luxury condo. Highly recommended! We'll be back soon for our favorite activites: rafting on Truckee river; swimming in Lake Tahoe; renting a boat and exploring Lake Tahoe; hiking at Northstar & Mount Rose; watching the kids roller-skating between courses at Rubicon pizza in Northstar Village. THANKS

This is a great place to vacation! We were here with our two children and had a great time. The separate bedroom works great with the kids. Overall, the unit is meticulously furnished and it feels like home as soon as you arrive. The top floor/vaulted ceilings really add to the overall comfort of the home. We will be renting this again soon!

This was a wonderful spot to enjoy the summer in Tahoe. We enjoyed our week in this beautifully furnished unit. The unit was clean and well maintained. Its location in the midst of Northstar Village made for easy access to restaurants and other retail establishments. It was an easy drive to Truckee, Kings Beach, Tahoe City, Incline Village, etc. for dining, shopping, recreation. We can see why it would be the perfect location for the winter with its ideal location.

but didn't take the entire week off. Thanks to the owners for opening up their condo - it truly felt like we were staying in a friend's home. My mother stayed in the 2nd bedroom and my young children shared the queen sleeper sofa. It was great because this 2nd bedroom was big enough so that when the kids went to bed early she didn't feel like she was stuck in a small bedroom. The kids loved the Northstar ski school, even my 5 year old who is hesitant about trying new things. They also loved the board games in the condo, they stayed up past their bedtime playing monopoly. As everyone has said the location is super convenient, and if you don't want to drive your car at all during the whole stay, just buy groceries before you arrive and you'll be set; as the Northstar Village market doesn't have a lot of options. The ski passes of course made for a great value. Thank you !

We really enjoy staying in this wonderful condo for spring skiing. The rooms are spacious and the owners have thought of everything. We love being in the Village to take advantage of all the fun activities after a day on the slopes. We have two children who share the second bedroom and they are more than comfortable. All in all a great stay!

You won't be disappointed with this property... We felt like we were staying in a friend's home, not a rental unit. Very close to everything! We especially appreciated the ski lockers adjecent to the lobby, the very short walk to the gondola and even shorter walk to Starbucks. We look forward to coming back.
