About this cabin rental
This beautiful two-story 3 BRDM + Loft BDRM/ 2 BA cabin is ideally located just a short walk to Northstar Ski Resort on Beaver Pond Drive and just a few miles from beautiful Lake Tahoe in one direction and the charming town of Truckee in the other.
The cabin will be decorated for the holiday season with twinkling lights, Small Christmas trees, and holiday decor. Enjoy S'mores with the family around the fire pits at Northstar and special holiday events. Northstar Resort features live music at the end of the ski days and has many restaurants, wine bars, and a move theater.
The Northstar shuttle picks up right in front of our home, generally within 5 minutes of being scheduled. It will take you to the ski resort or the beautiful Rec Center (with a gym, pools, jacuzzis, tennis, game room, and more).
Featuring an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and cathedral windows, this newly remodeled cabin will delight your senses and warm your heart. With brand new hardwood floors, knotty alder wood doors and trim throughout, new carpets and tile, a new remote-control fireplace, a remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, and beautiful new furnishings that blend rustic industrial chic with French chateau styles, you will at once feel cozy and warm.

Renters can also access a "free" Homeowners ski shuttle that will pick you up at the cabin and drop you off at Northstar Village, the Rec Center, or Golf Course. Plus, you will have access to the nearby beautiful Northstar recreation center (Guest Passes - $10pp per day), which has a full fitness center, weight training room, locker rooms with showers, saunas, three outdoor hot tubs, and a lap pool, all of which are open year-round. There’s an adults-only clubhouse with free wifi, a fireplace, leather couches, and a library. The kids can have a blast in the game room, with a large complement of video games, air hockey, foosball, and ping pong. There’s also a large swimming pool, splash zone, toddler pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and bocce ball courts in the summer. Even when you're not skiing or enjoying the Lake, you'll enjoy the rec center, and Northstar Village offers plenty of other leisure activities.
This is our family's home away from home, and we hope you enjoy the charming decor, entertainment features, amenities, and location as much as we do. Please take care of it as you would your own home.

Our favorite part was convenient shuttle that takes you to the base. So quick and easy! Kitchen was also stocked with all the basics.

This cozy cabin was perfect for our family gathering. All the amenities were as expected, we especially liked the shuttle service that took us to the slopes.

The location of the house far exceeded my expectations. It’s in a beautiful resort community in North Star right by the Ritz. The kids very much enjoyed the pool and arcade, and had fun taking the free shuttle to get there. Rec center is $10 per guest per day, so I thought it would be $90 for our whole group, but under 5 was free and adults not swimming were graciously not charged so it came out to less. The boys loved the bunk bed, and we noticed there was even a trundle, although we didn’t need it. House was the perfect size for two families. We took the free gondola to the top of the Ritz on the last day, which I highly recommend. Gorgeous views. Lake Tahoe is a short drive away, and so is downtown Truckee. I hope to be able to stay again in winter because the shuttle takes you to Northstar village, which was mostly closed in summer, but looks like it would be a blast in the winter. Donna, the host, was so quick to respond to questions before we arrived. Kitchen is well stocked with the basics, including olive oil, but remember to bring butter.

Our stay at this property couldn’t have been better. It was our family of five plus two boyfriends, and we all fit very comfortably. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking big meals and the dining table was big enough for our large group. The shuttle to town and slopes was super-convenient. The place was lovely but not too fussy felt right at home. All communication was easy. Highly recommended!

Tahoe get away
The house was good and in a great location! ! Maybe manager needs to talk to the housekeepers as we found trash and old socks under the couch! Also, it would have been nice to have TVs in more than the family room and one room upstairs as the living room was a bit small for us all to hangout in! Side note, my son had brought his xbox to connect but could not do so because the TVs would not allow the HDMI connection as they might have been older model! Only other comment, we had brought food and there really was not anywhere to store as all of the cabinets were full! But other than that, the house was cute, overall clean!

Snow Adventure
We gathered with our adult children at this wonderful cabin for a week to celebrate the new year! In spite of an incredible snow storm, making arrival a challenge from all directions, we had the most incredible time! The house was comfortable and well equipped and Donna was helpful throughout. I would highly recommend this lovely vacation home.

Beautiful Cabin!
Cabin was so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Felt very homey. The only thing missing was air conditioning but I know that there typically is no need for it.

Perfect Northstar House
Our family had an amazing experience at this property. The house was clean, updated, and beautifully furnished/decorated. The deck was fantastic for relaxing and BBQing. The neighborhood was quiet and just a short walk to Northstar village. Plenty of things to do very nearby- hiking trails, golfing, biking, Kings Beach; also comes with access to a beautiful pool and gym. We can’t wait to come back!

Charming, Comfortable Cabin near Northstar Village
This charming Tahoe cabin provided the perfect venue to host a mid-week "girls just want to ski" getaway for four friends. My friends and I have stayed in many rental properties and without a doubt, this cabin was one of our all-time favorites. The cabin has been remodeled and the decor is charming - it has a French chateau vibe that perfectly blends eclectic design elements with contemporary comforts. The room and bath configuration worked very well for our group, with a large king bed and bathroom upstairs, as well as a room with bunkbeds. There were two more bedrooms downstairs; one was a smaller room with a queen bed and the other slightly larger with a king bed and single bed. The downstairs bedrooms and living area share a bathroom. The beds were all very comfortable, with high quality linens, comforters and down pillows. All the bedrooms offered plenty of storage for our personal gear and the entry area downstairs provided a place to store our skis and boots adjacent to the washer/dryer. Extra blankets were available in the closets. The kitchen was well-supplied with dishes, glassware, cutlery, pots/pans, spices, and other items you don't normally see in a rental property. We brought our own herbs, spices, oil & vinegar, but it's so nice to open a cabinet and see things other than just salt, pepper and sugar. The gas fireplace added to the ambience and warmed up the living room nicely. The best part, from a skiing standpoint, was that we could put on our ski boots in the cabin, then use the Northstar Transportation App to request the shuttle, which picked us up at the end of the driveway. We never waited more than a few minutes for the shuttle, either getting to or from the village. The cabin is .9 miles to the village and took about 5 minutes in the shuttle, (with one or two stops to pick up other passengers along the way). Communications with the owner were straightforward, timely and helpful. We highly recommend this cabin and really look forward to another stay!

Good apartment, good layout, good location, well equipped
Everything was great. Just would have hoped that they had turned on the heat before we arrived (with Nest it’s easy) so that we didn’t have to arrive at mid jght with kids in a freezing house.

Great cabin with plenty of space for all
Wonderful cabin with plenty of space for my family. There were 8 of us total - 4 adults and 4 kids aged 5-15.
We enjoyed the easy shuttle pick up to get to the village. We used the kitchen a bunch to make easy meals and enjoyed lounging on the couch. The cabin was stocked with plenty of games to play as well - perfect for our family get together.
Donna was quick to help us with any issues we had - the key code to get inside, fireplace info. We would definitely rent this condo again!

Absolutely Perfect Home Away From Home
Chalet Madier is the perfect home away from home. We stayed here over New Year's with another family (4 adults; 4 kids, ages 7-10) and plan to return this season once more (more if available). Our feedback on various aspects below...
OWNERS: Donna is super responsive. She always responded to our emails and inquiries within a couple hours. The information for check-in was available well in advance of our visit. Instructions for getting into the house were VERY easy.
LOCATION: Have I used the word "perfect" enough? Beaver Pond is a 3 minute shuttle ride to the village. Download the Northstar app and simply request a pickup. We never waited more than 8 minutes to get into or return from the village. Use the NPOA passes to drive over to rec center to relax in hot tub, work out at gym, or let kids play in arcade.
HOME: Charming. Spacious. Updated. Very clean. Fully equipped with everything you could possibly need/want. The kitchen is plentiful when it comes to pots, pans, dishes, glasses. There is a coffee maker, toaster, griddle, cheese boards, baking dishes, extra coffee filters, dish towels, pot holders, dishwasher pods, basic cleaning stuff, etc. Bathrooms have plenty of soap, towels, washrags, toilet tissue, etc. Fireplace and Nest thermostat worked wonderfully and kept everyone warm and toasty. Dishwasher, washer and dryer are updated and work well.
ROOMS: Master upstairs was very spacious. Outside of master bedroom is the bunk room (two twin bunks plus a trundle). In the bunk room (where two kids stayed), there is a TV and foosball table. Kids loved it. Master bathroom (shower, toilet, two sinks) is off that room. Downstairs, there are two bedrooms: One very large one with queen and twin beds - two other kids stayed in that room and the other one slightly smaller (but with plenty space) with a queen-sized bed. Downstairs bath had single sink, bathtub/shower combo, and toilet.
Overall, a REALLY great place. We will definitely check on availability of Chalet Madier before booking Northstar again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great Place for Family Gathering
We came to Tahoe for the weekend to attend my nephew's wedding and decided it would be nicer to stay together at a cabin rather than at a local motel. The cabin was perfect for ourselves and our two daughters, their husbands and the 3 small children between them. One of them used the bedroom downstairs and we were able to put their 3 year old in the bed and 9 month old in a pack'n'play they brought. The other couple slept upstairs with their 2 year old in another pack'n'play. We did not use the bunk beds on the landing at the top of the stairs. My daughters appreciated that though the cabin was beautifully decorated, it was very child friendly without a lot of delicate furniture or knick knacks.
We loved the large table that could accommodate the whole group at one time. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils and other items that made our stay complete.

Fantastic place with a location that can't be beat.
We have rented a lot of cabins in Tahoe over the years and this one is definitely among our favorites. The house is stocked with all of the necessities, from paper towels to DVD's and board games. It was just remodeled, so all the furniture, appliances etc. look brand new, and two people in our group commented on how comfortable the beds were. Perhaps the best part about this house is the location. Just down the road from the Village at Northstar (free shuttle service picks up at the driveway) and next to the Ritz Carlton as well. The owner Donna was great and very communicative during the stay. We will definitely be back!

Perfect!
Beautiful cabin with everything you need. Ample, quality linens and well-stocked kitchen. Very clean. The half mile walk to the village is so convenient! The instructions were very detailed and easy to understand and Donna was very prompt and helpful responding to emails. We will definitely return to this lovely home!
