Located seven miles west of historic downtown Truckee, seven miles east of North Lake Tahoe, and within walking distance of Northstar California Resort, this conveniently located vacation rental puts you in a prime spot for in-town convenience and year-round outdoor activities.

Enjoy access to the Northstar recreation center amenities, which include tennis courts, basketball courts, a fitness center, a sauna, a hot tub, a seasonal lap pool, and an open grill area next to a beautiful creek surrounded by pine, fir, and aspen trees. (Site rentals include the use of three picnic tables and up to two gas BBQ grills with grilling utensils.) There is a $10 daily fee per person for use of the facilities.

In the winter, you'll be steps from the slopes at Northstar, where you and your traveling companions can enjoy quality downhill and boarding. Plentiful opportunities for a quiet snowshoe trek or cross-country skiing are virtually everywhere. And if you want to venture out further, Sugar Bowl, Squaw Valley, and Alpine Meadows are all within reasonable driving distance.

Inside, this home is open and bright, yet warm and cozy, with high exposed beam ceilings, lots of natural light, new flooring and appliances, updated decor, and rustic wood accents throughout. Hang out in the living area and enjoy a crackling fire while watching a movie on the TV. Make a selection from the DVD library, or find something on cable. In the summer, head out to the deck and enjoy a cold beverage while you listen to music on the stereo, which has a CD player and iPod dock. Consult the internet using the free WiFi and plan your itinerary. The functional kitchen has you covered at mealtime with full-size appliances, including a dishwasher. You'll be able to enjoy your favorites and clean up easily. Eat together at the dining table or dine alfresco on the deck. This condo includes a main bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a sofa bed. And you can pack light, as this vacation rental has a washer/dryer.

There were food crumbs in the utensil drawer. Clothing dryer wasn’t working upon check in. Had to repeatedly follow up with Vacasa for repair request, which never got fixed during our three-night stay. Every time I contacted Vacasa, they created a new work order because they couldn’t find the original one. In the last night, the central heat stopped working. Vacasa never responded. Upstairs was 60 and downstairs was 55. Even when the heat worked, there was little to no effect downstairs, and there were no space heaters. Requested a partial refund from Vacasa for false advertisement, and they refunded $22.

Absolutely loved the location for visiting the Northstar resort. The condo was very clean and decorated so well. It’s listed as a two bedroom but technically has three, where the laundry room was converted to a bedroom as well. Spacious and large, which we never felt cramp with how many people it was able to sleep. Ski storage right outside the door was awesome. Now for the bad, the heater was not working and we were not able to reach anyone to fix the issue. We were told to call different numbers and were not able to get anyone to come in and fix the heater. We had to sleep with multiple layers and multiple blankets to be able to stay asleep from how cold it was during the peak winter weather. I would have given this condo a perfect rating if it wasn’t for the heater not working and not being able to reach anyone to fix it.

Condo was clean, more than large enough for our family of 4. Gas/wood fireplace was nice to cozy up to at the end of the day. Bedrooms are downstairs and living space is upstairs. Is located in the Aspen Grove area. Kitchen ingredients aren't super well stocked, so bring whatever spices you need. We had enough pots/pans/plates, etc. We chose this location for proximity to Northstar and with this in mind, this condo was a great find. 5-10 minute walk away from the village; is located downhill from the Village so you can actually ski most of the way home at the end of the day. Only comment is that the downstairs could use some space heaters. Downstairs can get cold while upstairs is very comfortable. Arguably, we were there during the coldest days Tahoe has seen in a while. I did not call and place a request, so this may have be resolved by the property manager if I had asked. We would stay again if skiing at Northstar!

Very good location, house is big enough and layout is good, mattresses very old need to be changed, kitchen utensils and cookware very worn down.

Great location with good layout for lots of sleeping options. Kitchen and bathrooms were great for us, as was the dining room and living room. Fridge kept things cold and we had plenty of cookware for meals. Easy ride up to the lifts on the back trail. Downstairs was a little colder than the main floor- nothing that the excellent blankets couldn’t resolve.

Works well for a small group of friends, or for a family. Very comfortable. Great location near golf course and rec center.

Location and amenities are very good. The size of the rental property is also accurate and good for my family. Although the 3rd room was super small, it fit the bunk bed and washer/dryer right next to it. We didn’t use it. Cleaning of kitchen should be taken care and very smelly (mold?) . Bed linen & sheets didn’t feel clean and one of the beds was disgusting dirty.

Well for starters the pull out bed wasn't habitable, we contacted the property management, as two of our guests had to sleep on the floor. Their response was it needed further maintenance and to call and email again, which we did, and no response. No apology, no offering to help fix it. The beginning of our trip, our reservation was blocked, so it took over 30 minutes to talk to someone to get it unblocked. They sent us the confirmation email on how to get in, yet when we got there no mention of the lockbox code, so we had to call a second time. The parking passes were nowhere to be found, so that was our third call to the property management. Fire extinguisher was from 1986, dishwasher and toaster didn't work, neither did the internet the first night. We will not be staying here again, or any vacasa for that matter. The fact that they just blew us off, and we paid a lot of money for this unit is unacceptable. We reached out to vrbo, who we booked it through, they apologized but told us that they couldn't do anything, as it was the property management company. They filed a complaint and told us they would reimburse us for another room. It was 6pm, we had already been on the phone with them for over an hour, 5 children in tow, and a snowstorm, it clearly wasn't an option to move anywhere. I said we could go get an air mattress, and their response was that they "might" be able to reimburse us. Will not be returning.
