Dave and Nancy Clark were raising their 4 children in Palo Alto, CA back in the 1970’s and wanted a vacation home where they could get away on weekends. Long time residents of the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe was close enough to make it an easy choice. Dave and Nancy eventually retired to Hawaii, but spent several months of the year in Lake Tahoe, visiting old friends from Dave's days as Editor at Sunset Books, his fraternity buddies from Cal Berkeley, and fellow WWII vets. Dave and Nancy made many friends over the years and enjoyed visiting them during their stays here.

Tina Clark purchased this condo in 1975

Back in 1975, Mom and Dad looked at a number of places before settling on 5016. What did it the most for them was the view off the deck, with the mountains and the indigenous trees all about, and the good feelings it gave them. They were also pleased by the peace and solitude the place provided. Dad loved to golf, Mom loved walking. It was their home away from home.

5016 is representative of early Northstar, retaining much of the original styling and appointments with which it came. The condo is within close proximity to The Village, which has been renovated and improved a lot! The Village has shops and restaurants to enjoy all year round, music events, and a skating rink for ice skating in the winter, and roller skating in the summer. (Skates can be rented there.) We’re about 20 minutes from Lake Tahoe or Truckee. Skiing is great and access simple. The cabin is just a short walk to the free shuttle that takes you to the mountain. Cal/Nevada border is about 25 minutes away and is a fun place too. Whatever you decide to do, returning to 5016 will provide comfort and relaxation after a busy day. For almost 40 years, The Clark family has created great memories in this condo and in Lake Tahoe, from Dave and Nancy, to their children and grandchildren. We hope you create wonderful memories of your own during your stay.
