LOCATION! LOCATION!!! Ski In-Out, Ski Trails Condo Very Near N'star Vill, Wi-Fi

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

Completely remodeled and the closest 2 bedroom condo to the Village ski run. If the skiers coming down the village run failed to turn they would run right into our building. Move in and you won’t need your car again until it’s time to go home. Northstar Village is only steps away and has everything you will need for a wonderful winter or summer vacation. All rooms are small but well appointed with beautiful finishes and furnishings and everything you could need or want. Complete with down comforters and pillows.

Beautiful stone, natural gas, fireplace. Slab granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, bar seating for 6 and a kitchen that is fully equipped for gourmet cooking and dining. Flat screen TV with Bose surround sound will entertain you. Also a small “library” of DVD’s, CD’s, books, games and puzzles. There is a flat screen TV with built-in DVD player in the upstairs bedroom/bathroom and walk-in closet suite as well. This is a top floor unit which allows panoramic views and no one above you.

Our condo is on the upper level and there is no elevator. The building is not handicap "accessible." To get from the parking lot to the condo you must go down about 12 stairs and then up about 18 stairs "inside" the building. Once inside the condo there is one bedroom at entry level along with the kitchen and living room. The main bedroom/bathroom/walk-in closet/office is upstairs.

View straight out the living room window is pine trees and snow. To the right you look up the Village Ski Run and to the left you can see the gondola house (otherwise known as “One Village Place”) in the Northstar Village. The “Village Express” chair lift goes right past our window – you can wave to the skiers as they go by, or tilt the shades and have all the privacy you want. Looking out the entry end of the condo. you see the gondola passing by. Pictures attached.

Enjoy the excitement of being right on the ski slope and watching the skiers (when you’re not on the hill yourself) during the day. There is the special feeling of being on the hill when you wake up in the morning and then again in the evening when all is still with not a skier in sight. You will experience that stillness and quiet of having the woods and the snow all to yourself. Speaking of stillness and quiet, there is the occasional grooming machine going by in the night or those times when they are making snow during the night and you will hear them. We think of it as the beautiful sounds of our friends out there preparing the slopes to perfection for our wonderful day of skiing tomorrow.

Northstar also has a “Nordic Center” and “warming huts” for snow shoeing, cross country skiing and Nordic skating.

For your convenience, locker #36 on the 1st floor of our building may be used to store your skis, snowboards and poles. Your unit lockbox combination can be used to access this locker.

Summer time fun includes hiking, mountain biking where the lift takes you up and you ride down, Championship golf and driving range and swimming. Northstar’s tennis center holds national tennis clinics. Nearby: Shakespeare festival on Lake Tahoe, Boating on Lake Tahoe, “Woodies” festival with hundreds of beautiful old Chris-Craft and Century type wooden boats that have been restored ………..much, much more.

The original condos, as is the case with many mountain homes, do not have central air cooling – they do have central heat. We have installed top-of-the-line Casablanca ceiling fans in each room to circulate the mountain breezes in the summer time.

You will have access to the Northstar Recreation center during your stay which includes 3 year-round spas (hot tubs), large family swimming pool and toddler pool open in the summer, lap pool open year-round, full gym equipment including free weights, saunas, showers, summer time snack bars, summer time grass and children’s play area, picnic tables and barbeques. As of fall, 2021 the Recreation Center charges $10.00/person/day on admission. Towels are available at the Recreation Center for $2.00/towel.

In the condo you will find our welcome binder listing many great activities and resources. The condo is equipped with carbon monoxide monitors and smoke detectors as well as folding emergency fire ladder for upstairs fire protection.

The on-demand hot water heater means you can take that shower for as long as you want and the next person will still have all of the hot water he/she wants as well.

Awesome Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy condo. The location was so convenient for skiing and the village is just a short walk away. We enjoyed all the amenities. (There are actually two full bathrooms.) The only issue we had was the snow groomer running in the middle of our first night. The condo is right next to a run and the beeping from the groomer woke us up several times. Thankfully, it did not run the other two nights we were there. We will definitely stay here again.

Amazing Stay! Fully equipped! Highly Recommend!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Northstar! It was the perfect location - walked downstairs, popped on our skis and headed down to catch the lift or gondola. When it was time for lunch or the end of the day, we made our way down the mountain, popped off our skis, walked a few steps, put our equipment in the ski locker and made our way upstairs. Heading to the village was also just a short, easy walk. Truly the best location! The condo was also so well equipped…there wasn’t anything we needed or wished it had as it was all there. Liz thought of everything and was very responsive. We will definitely look to book again the next time we come back!

The Condo was beautifully presented . It was very homely, warm and inviting . The accommodation was ski in ski out which we look for in a ski holiday. Combined with that the small village was picturesque and offered some restaurants . We had a very enjoyable family time.

Amazing location at Northstar

My family and I booked for a week and loved every minute of our stay. The property is incredible clean, appointed with everything we needed and more, and in the best location at Northstar ski resort. We loved being able to walk out directly onto the run and ski down to the gondola each morning. The hosts were great and provided easy to use instructions for everything we needed. We really hope to come back next year.

Ski-in-Ski Out - Spring Skiing

Had a great stay! Awesome communication w/ owner. Best part was laying on couch apre' ski in the sun having a drink and watching people cruise by the window on the chairlift. Only drawback was both beds could have been more comfy and upstairs bathroom is kinda compact and no door so no privacy.

Wonderful ski home

My family loved our stay at this condo on the slopes! We travelled as a family of four and two grandparents. We took advantage of the ski in and ski out, and our 4 year old son thought it was the "best ever!" The walk to the village was easy and short, along a paved walkway. The grandparents loved watching our son ski down the Village Run. The condo was so thoughtfully furnished and the kitchen was well stocked with cookware. We would love to return!

About the host

Hosted by Liz Dexter

Host profile image
I grew up in Northern California hiking and backpacking and learned to love skiing after meeting my husband. We have had fun teaching our kids to ski at Northstar. Now I manage the condo on behalf of our family.

We love hosting guests and enjoy trying to make their stays memorable. I want each of them to love Northstar as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We have loved Northstar for over 20 years. We feel like we are on the slopes even when we are in the condo since we see the skiers going up the chairlift and coming down the ski run. Our kids love waving to the skiers as they ride up for a fun day of skiing, and many of the skiers wave back. Northstar is the most family friendly resort ever ~ Winter and Summer!

What makes this property unique

Unique Benefits of our Ski Trails condo are: proximity to the lift and slopes, top floor with vaulted ceilings, flat screen TV with Bose surround sound and the great lighting that we built in so that we can play games, do jigsaw puzzles and read any time we want to. All lighting is on dimmers so that we can set any mood we want from romantic to party! You can park more than one car in our parking lot! This is a great place to be with children since you just step out the door and ski down to the lift. No 'shlepping' everyone to the bus or car or even just walking through the village to the gondola. Just ski down.
