About this property

This Is The House You're Looking For: So Much More Spacious Than A Condo!

Make yourself at home in our beautiful family house on a convenient residential street in Northstar. Our elegant house is perfectly located for quick access to skiing and the Village and has everything you need for a family getaway—or a two-family getaway: Two of the bedrooms have king size beds, while the third has twin beds.

The 2600 square foot house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms on two floors, plus a loft with a sleeper sofa.

Enter through the handy mud room—the perfect place to gear up for skiing—to the main level and the heart of the house. The open living room has soaring cathedral ceilings and a stunning wall of windows. Relax by the cozy gas fireplace with marble surround or chill out in front of the 60 inch flat-screen TV with cable and DVD player. The living room features ample comfortable seating, a stereo system and a grand piano.

The adjacent kitchen is fully equipped and has granite countertops, a five-burner stove, oven, dishwasher and all the cookware and tableware needed to prepare family meals. Enjoy tranquil backyard views from the large wood dining table or, in summer, head outside to grill up a storm on the gas BBQ and dine on the patio.

The spacious master suite is on the main level and boasts a king size bed and romantic gas fireplace, plus a marble bathroom with double sinks, a walk-in shower and jacuzzi tub. There’s a flat-screen TV and DVD player in the master bedroom.

The main floor also has a bathroom with a shower and a laundry room.

Upstairs you’ll find two more bedrooms. One contains a king size bed. The other is equipped with two twin beds, plus a trundle, so it could sleep up to three. The upstairs bathroom with a shower over bathtub configuration.

There are two open loft areas upstairs. One has a sleeper sofa that can accommodate two. The other is a reading nook with an easy chair and bookshelves for some downtime. The house is equipped with wifi.

Our home is conveniently located just minutes from Northstar’s Village and the ski lifts. You don’t need to drive, though: Park your cars in the two-car garage and call the free shuttle to transport you around Northstar. The Village has lots of dining options, a movie theater, skating rink and entertainment year-round.

Renters also have access to the nearby recreation center, which has an up-to-date fitness center, 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. In the summer, there’s also a large swimming pool, splash zone and toddler pool.

Cozy yet spacious
Great place super close to the village, large but still cozy social spaces, large kitchen & dinner table (seats 8), the master suite is very roomy and well separated from the other bedrooms. 10/10 would stay there again.

Beautiful Home, Great Snow
Absolutely beautiful wood décor home with warm fireplaces. Great mountain to ski if you like lots of Blue runs, which I do - and the elevation on them isn't a black masquerading as a blue. Also a Good place to become a blue skier if you're green.. East ridge run overlooks the lake from about 5000 feet and is just gorgeous. Safeway is only a 15 minute drive at the lake or truckee, and the Dairy Queen in Truckee has the nation's best burgers and blizzards. A couple things to prepare for. Yes the shuttle works very well, but be prepared to tip the drivers. There are no ski racks on the shuttle so you have to drag your equipment inside. The resort is designed a bit funny. The shuttle bus has to stop about 800 yards from the gondola, which makes for a long hike with ski gear and ski boots. There is a ski valet at the gondola for $5 a night which is a godsend versus carrying your skis through the village. Also, I wear a cheap pair of sneakers that fold flat, so I can throw them in a backpack and use them to walk from the shuttle to the gondola. There are also bins available for shoes at the ski valet. One last note, they don't run the lift next to the gondola on weekdays, which is a shame, because you can't run the bottom of the hill at northstar unless you de-ski for the gondola. One weekends you can ski top to bottom and sit right into a lift. Great house, great location, great snow.

Family Ski/Board spring break!
We were two adults and three kids (9,11,16) and stayed over spring break. Everyone had there own space and three full bathrooms were awesome. Garage parking was helpful since the car stayed there all week. We used the Northstar shuttle that picked us up at the bottom of the driveway to get to the village and the slopes everyday. Host was super helpful! Thank you so much for having us! My daughter left a thank you note in the guest book too!

Lovely cabin for family ski trip
Perfect cabin for our family of four. My teenagers had their own rooms plus a tv area for them to play video games. Didnt do any cooking, but kitchen seemed well stock. Just made coffee and used the microwave. Shuttle bus picked us up in front of the house. Will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Host profile image
Our family bought the lot to build this house in 1974, two years after the fledgling Northstar opened as a simple ski hill. It took more than two decades to realize the dream and finally build our beloved house, which has hosted generations of our family.

Why they chose this property

It’s Northstar! The skiing is wonderful, it’s family friendly, close to Truckee but self contained, so you don’t ever need to leave the resort once you get here.

What makes this property unique

This isn’t just a house; it’s a home. It’s well stocked with everything you need, it’s cared for, comfortable and convenient. Our family has created many happy memories here—and now your family can too.
