Weekend Skiing at Northstar with Family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The communication was terrific and made every aspect of our visit easy and welcoming. The condo is a short walk to the slopes, though there is also a frequent shuttle as well. The apartment had every thing we needed, comfortable beds, an up-to-date kitchen, and cozy common area.

Great Stay

Spacious, comfortable, clean. Easy (though uphill) walk to the village and the slopes via a snow covered path.Two confusing parts: There is an upper an lower parking lot accessed by two different streets. Use the upper one. There is no central air or heat but rather thermostatically controlled fireplaces and electric heaters. It took a bit of tinkering to get the temperature set right because the last people had turned some of it off.

Great property

Super convenient to the slopes. House was clean and well stocked. Teri let us have a late check out which allowed us to easily ski then pack up and dead home on our last day. Nice TV and balcony view. Would stay here again. The condo was a little hard to find at first because it's between two parking lots and signage was not great but we figured it out eventually.

Northstar Gem

We loved this stay! Clean, well decorated, more than comfortable for our family, and close proximity to the gondola and lifts. Very well equipped with all the normal comforts of a highly rated rental plus items you don’t normally pack, ie olive oil, spices, games, puzzles, sleds, etc. I can’t even count how many times we’ve stayed at places and come to find there is no oil, salt and pepper for cooking! Will absolutely book again!

Very nice condo, great location

This condo was very nice and clean. Close to the Northstar village. Only complaint is that the walkway from parking to the condo and up to the village was pure ice and we fell several times. It was incredibly dangerous. The entry way to the condo door was also pure ice. It’s not right that the path is not clear for pedestrians. It’s a long walk from parking to condo and when lugging all of your stuff it’s very dangerous to walk on a path that is not cleared.

Long story, but we didn’t actually end up staying. The property manager is very responsive and communicates well. She will make sure all your questions are answered. I will just say that both her and VRBO are very professional and make customer service a top priority. I have been to Northstar many times and the condo is in a great location.

A nice condo just a short walk to Northstar Resort with dining, skiing and shops. Free local buses will take you into Truckee or to the grocery store if needed. The place was well equipped for cooking and the heating worked fine even with the cold nights we had while visiting. We rented skiis in the village for the day, and it was convenient to be able to walk everywhere our entire stay.

Summer visit to Northstar

Convenient two-bedroom condo less than 10-minute walk to Northstar resort. We visited during the summer and enjoyed fly-fishing, golf (a bit of a grasshopper issue), dinner and shopping at the resort, kayaking out of Tahoe Vista, shopping and lunch at King's Beach and a trip into Reno. This property provided a great launching pad for our daily activities. The kitchen was well-stocked and remodeled. We did visit during a heat wave, so it was pretty hot. The property did have an AC unit upstairs and fans downstairs which is more than most properties that I looked at. Recommend frozen yogurt and pizza (Rubicon's) at the resort, the Ace hardware in Truckee (really check it out!), Scheel's in Reno and fly-fishing in the Truckee river even in the heat of summer. Have fun!

Great stay!

Teri's place is great - perfect location for Northstar (can even ski back to the condo from the mountain if there is enough snow), upgraded features, well-stocked. The upstairs has an open floor plan so you have lots of space. Gas fireplaces keep the place heated well. Nice upgrades in the kitchen. We have probably stayed at around 5-6 different Northstar condos, and this one was the best! Highly recommend.

Wonderful

Awesome home with landscape views from both downstairs and upstairs balconies. Great room layout upstairs with stocked kitchen (plates, utensils, and spices). Large TV and a cozy couch for viewing movies with a gas-lite fireplace that kept the entire room warm. TVs in both bedrooms for late-night entertainment. Finally, easy access to Northstar Village which is within walking distance from the home or you can jump on a shuttle which will take you directly to the ski/snowboard lifts.I would highly recommend staying at this home and can’t wait to come back again. Awesome communication with host. Super responsive and very helpful from beginning to end.

Tahoe condo

The house was nice but it could have been cleaner. The master bathtub was pretty gross. The master carpet was not very clean either. It would have been nice to know I was paying a cleaning fee but still had to wash all the bedding before leaving which was the last thing I wanted to do before catching an early flight.

Great amenities and location

Spacious 2 bedroom 2 story condo within a short walk to the Northstar village. Well stocked and has high-end appliances. Pros: - Responsive owner - Passes to the Northstar recreation center - Short walk to village - Well stocked and high-end appliances. - Other nice touches like beach bags, beach towels, games, books and puzzles - Great Wi-Fi - TVs in bedrooms Cons: - Finicky dimming light switches - Complicated AV. Never could get the tv sound to play from stereo speaker system - only TV speakers. Not a big deal but the audio quality from the TV alone was subpar. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice stay for our family wedding

We really didn't use much of the condo. We didn't prep and food, didn't turn a TV on, didn't use the Rec Center. We were busy with our family wedding, hiking, etc. But the condo worked out fine. We were surprised to see that notice not mentioned previously that we were to wash and dry linens and towels. That seems wrong for a VRBO host.

Peaceful and fun stay near the village

Our little family of 3 enjoyed our stay at Teri's condo, it was a short walk up the trail to the village and rec center. Enjoyed the open space living room and well stocked kitchen (spices, coffee, appliances, condiments). Nature views and sounds of the creek right out the balcony. We were even more pleasantly surprised that despite the July 4 holiday, the Northstar village area and condos were very quiet and didn't 'feel' like the crazy holiday period. 10-15 min drive down to the lake at Tahoe Vista as well. We loved being able to walk out the door for nature walks or get on our bikes and hit the TMT trail around the meadow and downhill biking at the village. Communication with Teri was great and appreciated the extra beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels to use, thanks for a great stay!

Host profile image
I was fortunate to be born & raised in Los Gatos California. In 1982 I opened a coffeehouse in my hometown called Los Gatos Coffee Roasting Company which I have operated for more than 42 years now. In 2002, I founded a jazz series in my town called 'Jazz on the Plazz' and produce 10 free-to-the-public concerts every summer featuring world class jazz artists. The program is funded through donations and generous contributions from individuals and businesses. To oversee the jazz program and other endeavors I also founded a non-profit 501c3 organization called 'Los Gatos Music & Arts', as an umbrella organization with a mission to nurture arts programs in my community and our schools.

I love the Sierra Mountains and the Lake Tahoe area for retreat and recreation with my daughter and granddaughter. I dreamed of having Tahoe-ski-get-a-way of my own for years. In 2007, I purchased an Aspen Grove end unit close to the Recreation Center and Village. Over the course of several years, I renovated the unit bringing it up to modern standards and my personal tastes. I am delighted to be able to share my cozy ski condo with my family, friends and renters alike. It has been a very positive experience to share my home-away-from-home.

Why they chose this property

I love the Sierra Mountains and the Lake Tahoe area for retreat and recreation with my daughter and granddaughter. I dreamed of having Tahoe-ski-get-a-way of my own for years. In 1997, I purchased an Aspen Grove end unit close to the Recreation Center and Village. Over the course of several years I renovated the unit bringing it up to modern standards and my personal tastes. I am delighted to be able to share my cozy ski condo with my family, friends and renters alike. It has been a very positive experience to share my home-away-from-home. I love the family friendly atmosphere and year-round activities particularly skiing in winter. Northstar is just a few hours from the Bay Area providing a quick escape.

What makes this property unique

I love the serenity of the area, easy access to the ski lifts and the hot tubs awaiting us after skiing! There are many fine restaurants with high quality offerings. Entertainment choices are run the gamete from down home blues and classy jazz in Truckee including an occasional surprise appearance from world-famous musician. High quality talent is also booked at the Crystal Bay Club on the Lake just 15-minutes away and in Reno about a 30-40 minutes drive.
