About this property

Winter or Summer...Northstar at Tahoe has it all!

Fabulous family house with views of the golf course from the deck. It has five big bedrooms (sleeps 11/12), five baths and a wonderful living room area that includes a pool table, chess table, large screen TV, and a big fireplace to bring it all together. Our home is also a great place to walk, with loops around the golf course including wonderful views of the meadow and all of the mountains of the Martis area. The Northstar resort has all of the activities you want. Golf, bike riding, horseback riding, hiking, tennis, and more. Passes at the house give you free access to the recreation center - including pool, hot tub, fitness center, and courts. In the winter...skiing with a full spectrum of challenges, cross-country trails, and ice skating. You can't find a better resort with more amenities than Northstar, and staying at our home will be a great complement to your vacation. PLUS - Enjoy the free shuttle services to and from the resort, especially to avoid parking with all of your ski equipment!

Definitely recommend, the property was clean. The host communicated quickly, there is plenty of space for everyone, three full bathrooms was definitely a bonus also. Close to Tahoe and the community center. The kids enjoyed the pool table and the chessboard. Some of the appliances are a bit dated, but nothing to cause any inconvenience.

Great house to accommodate a big family in Tahoe. Host very responsive, good communication. Needs some things fixed to get to a 5 star rating. The listing access to the rec center and pool wasn’t quite accurate. It costs 10/day/per person, even though the host supplies a membership card for access. That was not mentioned in the listing. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Christine is the most amazing of hosts! We stayed over a huge blizzard and were able to work out uncertainty over wild weather and road closures. Being so close to Northstar and having access to the Northstar shuttles was clutch during this crazy snowstorm. The cabin is roomy, so well stocked, and has the BEST warm family cabin vibes! The kids loved the pool table and abundant board games. We were two big families who love to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed (and some cool extras)! All the appliances were workhorses. Will definitely stay here again - absolutely loved our time here!

Check-in was a breeze, the place was spacious. We had 10 adults and 1 baby and there was plenty of room. The place was clean and the beds were pretty comfortable. I was inpressed with the kitchen. It well stocked with seasonings and oil. It had all the pots, pans and cooking utensils that we needed. They also had a bunch of games for us which was great. If we come and visit Truckee again, I would definetly book here again!

Stay was wonderful! A lot bigger than expected with plenty of room for the whole family. Having five bathrooms was great especially when coming back from the lake and not having to wait hours for your turn to shower. Also, two of them did have carpet so that was a little different but, wasn’t an issue. The pool table, chess board, dart board, and board games kept the kids entertained all weekend. We enjoyed relaxing out on the back deck during the day and cozying up by the fireplace at night. Overall, great stay and would definitely recommended!

Great location! Great stay!

Stayed the weekend with my teammates and their significant others for a weekend of fun and team bonding! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to meet our needs. The decor was eclectic and cozy! I'd describe it as Black Bear Diner meets Tahoe wood cabin! It was just what we needed to unplug play some card games and relax! I brought along my two year old son and he had a blast counting all the bear decor. Owner was extremely communicative and very friendly! The shuttle to the resort was so convenient!

Wonderful family vacation

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The pool table was a huge hit with both kids and adults, as was the large chess table. There was a huge closet filled with a large selection of board games, and the ski shuttle picked up from just the end of the driveway, making getting to Northstar for our ski vacation super-easy. The house could use a few more large pots (to help with meal preparations for a large group). The dishwasher functioned well, but needs to be bolted into the cabinet. These are minor issues that can be easily fixed. Would be happy to visit again!

Even Non-skiers Can Enjoy this House

We were three generations of family, ages 19-82. We did not come to ski. The great room was perfect with the pool table and plenty of space for table games and tv watching. We did not use the Village or recreation facilities as they were quite far. Cars were lined up in the driveway making going in and out difficult. Some of our group have allergies and were bothered by the dog/cat hair on sofas and beds.

This home wasn’t what we were expecting. It felt as if someone lived there and vacated for the weekend. Although it appeared to be clean, it felt cluttered. There was food in the freezer - so much that we didn’t have a lot of space to add much more. There were cleaning products and the vacuum left out when we arrived including a glass of water on the window sill and other items left on the counters. It felt very strange. The lighting upstairs was dim. In fact, the main kitchen light was out and left us with poor light for cooking. We sent a message about this and got an apology 3 hours later but nothing about resolving the issue. The house is very outdated. Not that this is a problem - we wanted a home with a cabin feel, but it just added to the long list of issues we found. It was advertised as a home of almost 5,000 square feet, but it is not! Zillow has it listed for 2,762 square feet. It was advertised as having video games but there were none. The garage was unavailable for use, and the passes to Northstar were not free as advertised. On top of this, there was only one working smoke detector in the home. Things we did like: the bear decor, pool table, tons of games and seating for a large group. Plenty of rooms for everyone. The location was lovely but no place for kids to play. With a few modifications this place would be great! Fresh paint, better lighting, ceiling fans and some better frying pans. Maybe even tear out that old carpet! Guests should also have full

Fun and Relaxing

We had a fantastic short stay filled with fun and relaxation. On one hand some might say this place is in need of an update, however others may revel in the “nostalgic decor” and be glad they don’t have to worry about staining or damaging anything. Bottom line, it was well built and designed, therefore the fact that nothing has changed should be celebrated. The bedrooms provide a pleasant comfortable stay for a large group with each area having an on suite toilet. Everything worked as expected. The fireplace and HVAC were excellent. We would come back to this property and stay again. Also want to give a shout out to Chris for being so accommodating and attentive to our questions. Really appreciate everything.

Cozy home close to Northstar

We went up to Northstar with friends for a ski weekend and definitely enjoyed staying at this home. It was spacious enough for our group of 9 and all we needed for a comfortable stay. Check-in was straightforward (though we did need to proactively reach out for check-in instructions as there seemed to be a VRBO snafu with our contact details not being shared with the host) and there was enough space in the driveway for our cars (no space in the garage as it's being used for storage). Rooms and bathrooms were OK.There were lots of nice small things that our group appreciated too. There are tons of board games in the main walk-in closet. The pool table and giant chess set in the living room were awesome. We even used their telescope to look at the stars on a clear night. The kitchen at first seems dated, but all the appliances were completely functional. There are sufficient condiments in the fridge as well as spices in the cabinets. Dishes, pots, pans and utensils were all there as well, it's definitely one of the better stocked kitchens we've experienced. Getting around the resort was straightforward with the Northstar Village Transit app. Take note that their service typically only starts at 7:30am, and ends completely at 6pm. The Rec Center was a nice amenity - we enjoyed using the pool (heated), jacuzzi/hot tubs (there are 3 that can fit lots of people, like 25-50 at a time) and sauna. Also note that there is a $10 entrance fee/person (and $2 towel rental).

Excellent property for multi-generational family

Easy checkin; clean and extremely well-equipped; responsive owner. Check out was equally easy, and I appreciated not having to strip beds, place towels in wash, broom clean, etc., as I have with other VRBO rentals (leaving me wondering what the “cleaning fee” was for). Only issue was with the water heater, which was “off” on arrival and needed to have the pilot relit. No big deal if one has done that before, but the water heater and controls were not accurately described in the posted instructions which was confusing. Would certainly rent again, especially now that I have figured out how things work.
