Superbly located close to everything the area offers, this charming three-story townhouse is perfect for year-round fun. Enjoy a close locale just a few steps from the free resort shuttle and a half-mile from Northstar Village for your next ski getaway! In warmer seasons, take the provided paddleboard and venture out to the lake where water adventures await you! There is also plenty of hiking in the area, and golf nearby, and shared tennis and hot tub on-site.
The main living area is on the second floor and features high, vaulted ceilings, bright wood paneling, and natural lighting. Enjoy a well-equipped kitchen for making delicious meals, a fireplace for cozy moments, a massive smart TV with cable for unwinding after the day's adventures, and high-speed internet for remote work. Step out on the balcony while enjoying the home's quiet seclusion in the crisp mountain air. You will even have a washer/dryer, so you can afford to pack light for your trip!
The first level features two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and access to a covered balcony, the other with a twin bunk and an extra twin, and this level enjoys a shared bathroom with a shower/tub combo as well. The main bedroom is on the third floor, with grand, vaulted ceilings, a queen bed, and a private sink with a mirror. Next door, the fourth bedroom has a twin bunk and a double bed, and you'll find a shared bathroom boasting a shower/tub combo between the rooms. Little guests can enjoy a Pack 'n Play.
With so much to offer inside and so much to explore outside, this home is an excellent union of comfort and convenience.
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.

Location
10.0 / 10.0
The cabin was excellent, simple rustic and clean. The rooms are well lit and the location is perfect, middle, between the Lake Tahoe and downtown truckee. I will be coming back for the comfy atmosphere. Exceeded my expectations with the clean new appliances, laundry and kitchen. Very clean and new.

Inaccurate online pictures
Management company great at answering phone, pictures online didn’t accurately represent the condition of the property. Really dirty old carpet, rugs, old dirty chairs in living room, lamps with water stained shades. Just more of a crash pad for a college group, best description I can give…

Management could be improved
The house and location were great. However, after being told we couldn’t check in until 4pm due to cleaning we were disappointed to then be interrupted by someone (unmasked) asking to check the property. After she checked around the house, we found trash (food, beer bottles etc.) in the kitchen - so not removed by her or the earlier cleaning staff. Maybe not surprising that there were ants in the living room!

Lake Tahoe Getaway
My family and I had a wonderful time at Lake Tahoe. The cabin was clean, spacious, and comfortable but a bit far from the lake. Also, we knew it did not have an AC unit, but we were surprised at how warm it gets at night. I woke up several times because it was warm inside. The fans helped, though. Overall, we had a great time and can’t wait to do it again!!
8.0 / 10.0
Everything was amazing about this property except for the parking. Clean, spacious, looked just like the photos, and well-located. Kitchen was well-equipped for cooking for a large group, didn't get too hot - overall an excellent stay.
The parking was definitely an issue though. The listing made note of two permitted spots available but failed to clarify that practically no extra parking exists within 10-15 minutes (by car) of the rental. So, in a situation like my group's in which you have three or four vehicles, parking becomes dicey and you risk being towed if you park onsite.
Again, this is only one part of the experience (the rest wonderful, I must reiterate). But the listing needs to be updated to make the parking constraints clearer for potential customers, or the property owners should issue more permits for such a large-group property.

Great spot for large parties for an affordable price!
My friends and I stayed here while visiting for a wedding. The community was great with lots of trails, shops, restaurants and activities within walking distance. The house is close to downtown Truckee and Lake Tahoe. Only downside is the lack of AC in the summer, making for a hot stay when the temperatures are high.

Great condo, great location, great stay!
This house is perfect for winter or summer. Lots of beds and great hang out space. We stayed for 5 nights and have nothing but great things to say about it. Beach gear was plentiful, washer and dryer were great to have, beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. This is a great rental!
