*** We welcome you to stay this winter season and enjoy the newly-installed 90x90 premium Marquis hot tub! Strict no pets and no parties policy. We hope to host you! ***

Gorgeous views, tranquility, and space await you from this 4-bedroom 2.5 bath 2537 SF home located in Northstar Resort.

Our home is perched on the high side of a quiet cul de sac within Northstar Resort with a backyard flowing into open space on a mountainside, providing beautiful views of the pines from the house, deck, and hot tub. Its front side sits well above the houses on the other side of the street making the Great Room feel like a treehouse with views of pines and a distant mountain.

Park your vehicles in the 2-car garage and leave the driving to someone else! Just use a mobile app to summon the free Northstar shuttle to pick you up at the end of the driveway and drive you to the upscale Village at Northstar in just minutes where you will find a gondola, chair lifts, ski and snowboarding school, equipment rental, ice rink, bars, restaurants, spa, movie theater, candlemaking, pottery painting, and stores.

Hop in the shuttle again after a long day on the mountain, in the Village, at the rec center, or at the golf course. In minutes, arrive back to your home away from home to soak in our 7-person hot tub under the stars and dry off in the sauna.
