About this property

Luxurious 5000 sf Northstar Home - Incredible Game Room & Four King Bed Suites

5,000 s.f. Luxury Vacation Home + over 1,600 s.f. of outdoor living space.

Placer County STR Permit STR22-4241 Information: Max Occupancy is 16 people age 12+, AND no more than 21 total (including kids younger than 12). Parking spaces: 6 standard size vehicles. All vehicles must be parked in garage or driveway at all times. No RVs, boats, or trailers. No parties. No events. No pets. No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property. Guests may not bring their own grills, smokers, fire pits, turkey fryers, or any kind of similar device to our home.

Rates are based on a group size (adults + children) of 16 or less. Groups larger than 16 are charged $25 per night, per person, for each person in excess of 16 total. Group size is verified at the property.

**Note** For July 2027 Reservations (only): Stays must start on Saturdays (6 night minimum).

The interior of our home sets it apart and into a class all its own. Hand distressed beams, hand hewed walnut floors and intricate masonry create that 'Old Tahoe' feel. A gourmet kitchen with professional grade appliances allows you to create a feast for your family and friends.

This home has a wonderful open floor plan. The kitchen, dining, and living room areas create a warm gathering place after a fun day on the slopes or on the trails. And while the adults gather there, the kids (or "kids at heart") have a place all to their own - a huge game room area in the lower level keeps them entertained so the adults can have some time to themselves. And, in the winter, they have their own private sledding hill right in back of the house.

Our amazing game room has something for everyone: An 84" big screen television, billiards table, 16' long professional shuffleboard table, professional foosball table, ping pong table, dart board, and a large game table that will be perfect for the poker or card game players.

The main deck off of our Great Room is ideal for outdoor entertaining in the spring, summer & fall. A large table seats up to 12, and there are eight Adirondack chairs surrounding the fire pit. The main deck also features a Weber gas grill (may not be available Nov-April). Please note that during the winter/ski season (Nov - April), we move all deck furniture into storage. Our decks may be closed during the winter season (Nov to April).

Off of the Game Room, is our expansive lower level deck. Boasting over 1,400 s.f. of patio and deck space there's a hot tub, picnic table, more Adirondack chairs, cornhole game, and Spikeball. Please note that during the winter/ski season (Nov - April), we move all deck furniture into storage. Our decks may be closed during the winter season (Nov to April).

In the winter, we provide sleds for kids (and kids at heart) to enjoy the slope below our home.

This home boasts six bedroom suites (bedrooms with attached bathrooms). Four of those bedrooms have king beds. Another one has a queen & a twin. The sixth bedroom is a bunk room (six twin beds) with a private bath. One of the king suites has an attached bedroom with twin beds (bunk), perfect for guests with small children. And there's a den with a comfortable American Leather Comfort Sleeper sofa sleeper - king size bed (gel foam mattress). Please see the floor plans in our photos for more details.

During the ski season, when conditions allow, the Home Run ski trail can be accessed from the end of our cul-de-sac - a short 10 minute walk from our home. You can take that down to the Village, or to the Highlands Gondola, for a quick trip up to the slopes or to the Ritz Carlton. Or, you can call for the free shuttle to take you anywhere at Northstar. Please note that the free shuttle does not operate during shoulder seasons.

Our home is part of the Northstar Property Owners' Association (NPOA). Our guests have access to the NPOA Recreation Center, which includes swimming pools, spas, fitness center, tennis courts, and other amenities. Northstar does charge a fee for use of the facility. That fee is currently $10 per day.

Please note that our home is not suitable for hosting any kind of event. We do not accept reservations for weddings, receptions, or any kind of party or celebration.

The exterior access points of the home, including the driveway, the walkway to the front door, and the outside decks, are monitored by security cameras, which record video 24/7. Exterior sound levels are also monitored.

Rates are based on a group size (adults + children) of 16 or less. Groups larger than 16 are charged $25 per night, per person, for each person in excess of 16 total. Group size is verified at check in and during the group's stay.

Per Placer County regulations, your group cannot exceed 16 people age of 12+.
The overall maximum group size, including all ages, is 21. Placer County requires Owners to notify all guests on their vacation rental regulations. Prior to your arrival, we will send this notification to each adult member of your group, and they must acknowledge that they understand these regulations. You may request a copy of these regulations prior to making your reservation.

Maximum number of standard size vehicles is 6 in the summer and 5 in the winter (when the ski mountain is open). One of the garage bays is NOT available during the winter months so that it can be used for storage and staging of ski equipment or other items. The driveway has a capacity of 4 standard size vehicles. The garage has a capacity of 2 standard size vehicles in summer or 1 in winter.. Placer County does not allow renters to park on the street. No RV, boat, or trailer parking is allowed. Large SUVs, pick up trucks, or vans may take up two of the standard size parking spaces. Contact host if you have concerns that your vehicles will fit in our parking spaces.

This home is not appropriate for gatherings that involve copious consumption of alcohol or which might produce unruly behavior or noise. As our guests, we kindly ask that you respect our neighbors and the community by adhering to our house rules, and keeping all outside noise to a minimum. We will not tolerate any excessive noise or partying and have the right to vacate you from the property should this be an issue. Per the Placer County ordinance, outdoor amplified sound of any kind is prohibited.

Like most Tahoe homes at our elevation, our home is not air conditioned. Summer days are best spent enjoying outdoor activities and our summer evenings cool down nicely in the fresh mountain air. Our home is equipped with a whole house fan which allows you to bring the cool evening (and morning) air into the home. If you are considering a Summer stay at our home, and have any concerns about interior climate control, please contact us to discuss further.

Full Transparency on Check Out Duties: At the time of your departure, the home should look the same as it did when you arrive, with the exception of the beds, linens, and customary cleaning of floors and surfaces. In the kitchen, all dishes, utensils, pots/pans, etc... should be cleaned and put away (you may leave a final load running in the dishwasher when you leave). Trash should be taken to the community dumpsters. For the full Check Out Check List, you may view it in the photos in our listing. Please make sure that you are comfortable with it before booking our home.

Beautiful home, everything you would need for a great vacation. Loved that the kitchen was stocked with high end appliance's, pots and pans and pantry staples. The game room was a big hit, with everything in great working order. The fire pit on the deck was a bonus, since there was no snow:( We used it daily.All the beds were very comfortable. there were plenty of towels etc.We would definitely stay again

We’ve stayed at this home many times over the years, which probably says everything you need to know. It’s an incredible property and consistently one of our favorite places to stay.David is a fantastic host—an excellent communicator, very responsive, and extremely detail-oriented. Everything is always well organized and the entire experience, from booking to checkout, is seamless.The location is ideal for skiing with easy access to the village. The layout of the home is perfect for families—the downstairs game room gives the kids their own space, while the upstairs kitchen and living area create a great gathering spot for adults.We truly can’t say enough good things about this place. There’s a reason we keep coming back, and we’re already booked for next year!

Incredible stay for the entire family

We created amazing family memories here. We arrived in a snowstorm and Dave came and shoveled everything himself to make sure we didn’t have to worry about it. He was super communicative and helpful. We enjoyed all of amenities this place has to offer. We were with a group of 13 and everyone had their own space. A+ can’t wait to come back!

Great Tahoe spot for a large extended family

This was a well maintained home perfect for a large family vacay. The large game room in the basement kept the kids entertained and the pool table, shuffle board, dart board and ping pong games were all well maintained. The owner was very responsive to a few issues that arose, even though he was on vacation himself! We had four families in the home with 16 people and it accommodated us very well.

Outstanding property!

I sent 8 of our Leadership team members to Tahoe for a 3 day strategy meeting. They could not stop raving about how wonderful the house was and the space was perfect for them to work hard and unwind and relax in the evenings. They ate at few of the local restaurants recommended by the owner and were very pleased. I would definitely book this house again. Thank you David for your hospitality and sharing your home for others to enjoy.
