About this property
Bitter Brush- Luxury 4BR Hot Tub- Pool Table- Ski Shuttle- Pet Friendly
This Northstar vacation rental on Bitter Brush is ideally located on a quiet side street, with sprawling golf course views making it the perfect gathering place for your next family adventure in the mountains. Beautifully situated on lower Northstar drive, this two-level lodge is just blocks from the golf course and two miles from the Village, ski lifts and dining. In the summer months, you are a quick drive to sandy shores of Lake Tahoe or the bustling downtown of Truckee.
Inside, the floor plan is warm and inviting. The upstairs living area takes full advantage of the sweeping views beyond while the wraparound sofa surrounding the toasty wood fireplace is the ideal spot to keep you cozy and warm during those cool high Sierra evenings. Perfect for multiple families, this spacious vacation rental offers an open area for congregating or preparing gourmet meals in the fully equipped kitchen.
Downstairs, your guests will love their entertainment options including a pool table, full bar area with seating for three, and a large flat-screen TV that is perfect for watching the game while entertaining your guests! Three guest bedrooms surround the downstairs entertaining area, including the Primary suite which includes a king bed, flat-screen TV and en suite bath. A junior Primary suite is located at the entry level (between the ground and 1st floors) and includes a king bed and en suite bath as well.
Convenience, comfort and value make this property a great vacation home base for ski trips and spring/fall/summer mountain getaways. Staying at Northstar means you don't have to worry about driving anywhere once you arrive. The resort provides a free on-site shuttle service during resort operating days, making it easy for guests to be on the slopes or shopping in the Village, playing golf or thrill seeking in the downhill mountain bike park.
