Perfect location with all the amenities, pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and close proximity to all the local beaches! Room is great, and has everything you need for your summer and winter vacation!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo! This place is very clean, comfortable and has a well stocked kitchen. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Great location in the village!
We enjoyed 5 days in March at this delightful accommodation. Perfect for 3-4 people, with all the amenities provided thoughtfully by attentive owners. Situated in the heart of it all at Northstar - we will be back again and again.
The condo is lovely and spacious. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. The resort is incredible. We had a great time exploring the local amenities, and we loved being close to Truckee and the lake.
Thanks for a great vacation, Jaysa! We can't wait to come back.
We loved the condo. The beds were comfy and it was close to everything. The kitchen was well stocked and the condo was well taken care of. The owner was responsive when I had questions. We would definitely stay here again.
Our family of four (kids ages 5 and 7) had a fantastic four night stay. The condo was exactly as pictured and in a great location. Ski locker, comfortable beds, and clean. The condo owner was very responsive to my questions before and during the trip. We loved it and would absolutely stay again.
Great stay, beautiful condo, well equipped (with nice cookware, dishware and glassware!!) and in a great location within the village for Gondola access as well as all the village has to offer for non skiers. Seriously, I've rented lakefront houses on Lake Tahoe that didn't have as nicely equipped a kitchen as this condo. Will stay here again for sure.

Great! Perfect location!
The location was perfect and amazing! The only review I’d add is the carpet needs to be cleaned or updated and master bed mattress updated. Other than that we would absolutely stay at this rental again. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay there. We look forward to next summer and renting this place again.

Hi Michelle. Thanks for the feedback about the carpet and mattress. Carpet cleaning has been scheduled (we do it every spring and fall, but the carpets seems to get the worst over the summer!) And a new mattress for the master is also on the way. I personally think that bed is super comfortable but my husband has been saying it is too soft. Now, with your feedback, I've been convinced to get a somewhat firmer mattress. Glad your trip was great overall.
We traveled with my handicapped father and this condo was perfect for him. Wide doorways and walk-in shower were great. The place was very clean and the owner provided a book with lots of information related to the condo as well as the surrounding area. The owner was very quick to respond and a pleasure to deal with.!
My wife, son (3 year old) and I stayed here for five nights and had a great time. The place was clean. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed with nice stainless steel pans. The apartment location was great, as it's a 30 second walk to the ice rink or ski rentals. About a 45 to 60 second walk to the gondola. Check in was easy, and parking was easy. Would recommend.
Our family has stayed here before and were excited to come back again. :-) We liked that there were two bedrooms, each with king beds. We also liked the option of 2 additional twin-sized (ottoman) beds that could be made up as well. We love the location and always enjoy being right in the Northstar Village. Additionally, we enjoy the outside balcony area where you can "people watch," read a book or have a drink where you can enjoy the view and village fun. :-)
Thank you again for another wonderful time!
We stayed off season in April. It was pretty warm and the snow was fading. The property owner is kind and very thoughtful with how the place is prepared. There’s just about anything you might need. You are right in the village. An elevator down will take you a few steps to pizza place. The rooms are large and care was made and it’s comforting. I will return if she will have us!
Very nice and extra comfortable place. Lots of access to linens and towels as needed. We didn’t see the twin bed in each room as shown in the photos but the corner ottoman in each room may open up.We didn’t need the extra bed this trip but if we do have a fifth person I don’t think they would have been comfortable and we would need a larger unit. Kitchen has everything you need including three coffee machines and electric tea kettle. Love the leftover dry goods are available to use if needed. Parking easy to use and helpful to have luggage cart access. Highly recommend

Thank you for the kind words we take pride in out guest enjoying their stay.
As far as the twin beds go, yes the ottoman in each bedroom do fold out and the feedback of individuals who have used them is that they are very comfortable.
“WOW!” This was our reaction when first opening the door to Jaysa and Marc’s beautiful, comfortable condo. Photos don’t begin to do it justice. Every room is larger than expected. The decor is lovely. Kitchen supplies are plentiful. There’s even an entire chest of drawers with games, and thoughtful items for those traveling with infants. We enjoyed the large patio, and all living/sleeping areas.The location within Northstar Village is excellent: a two minute walk to great pizza, and coffee (although the condo’s kitchen includes a Keurig, Nespresso, French press, standard coffee maker!!) and to the main recreation center. Some restaurants and shops were closed or had limited hours during this quiet summer off-season.The arrival process from Northstar staff was easy and pleasant. Follow Jaysa’s detailed instructions for the check-in location. I could go on and on, but to keep it brief…if you have a chance, just book it!Many thanks to the Z Family for offering this place to guests!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Listed as a luxury condo falls short
My wife and I recently did three nights at Northstar and since I ski, while she doesn’t, we did stayed in the village here vs outside the resort. Location convenience is the number one winning mark here, plus check in and communication was smooth.
But from there and given the cost a night, even off-peak rates, we as consistent travelers wouldn’t opt to stay here again. Main issues: lack of any privacy with this specific location of a condo in “the villiage” - you want a end unit or one that looks at nature, not the shopping avenues in the village. The carpets in this unit are dirty and smelly. (As a skier I realize these ski in/out condos always have more wear too). When we arrived and for our stay it had a very strong smell of Indian food and dirty carpet so we bought several candles. Final major item….the lighting, more specifically, the light bulbs. Such a bright white all over the condo, felt like a cafeteria. Would highly recommend changing bulbs for some relaxing ambient lighting.
Overall the host was most gracious and welcoming but the condo itself left more to be desired.

The condo has been compl upgr since this review. New carpeting, New Oven, New Microwave, New fixtures, New lighting. This is now considered Platimum Level.
Clean and cozy! Perfect for our summer lake trip. I love how relaxed Northstar is in the summer. This condo was right in the village. Easy parking and access to all things Truckee. This condo is very family friendly and we played many a board game during our stay! Kitchen was well equipped and my chef husband cooked many a dinner! Highly recommend especially for families.
