Ski lockers are available on-site for secure equipment storage. A community washer and dryer is located upstairs for guest use during the stay.



Guests also have access to the Northstar Property Owners Association (NPOA) Recreation Center, which includes a year-round heated pool, seasonal hot tubs, fitness center, saunas, and seasonal tennis and pickleball courts. The Northstar Village is within walking distance for dining, shopping, and additional activities.



The Neighborhood:

located within the renowned Northstar California Resort, a thoughtfully planned alpine community known for its balance of outdoor adventure, refined amenities, and family-friendly atmosphere. Set among the pine-covered slopes of the Sierra Nevada, this neighborhood offers immediate access to mountain recreation along with the convenience of resort services just steps away.



The Village at Northstar is a short walk from the condo, providing a central hub for dining, shopping, coffee, après-ski gatherings, ice skating in winter, and a full calendar of seasonal events. The Village’s pedestrian-friendly layout makes it an easy and enjoyable destination throughout the day and evening, whether you are grabbing breakfast before heading to the mountain or settling in for dinner after a full day outdoors.



The resort operates a complimentary shuttle system, making it simple to move around the Northstar community without driving. Guests can request a ride through the Northstar transportation app or by calling the shuttle directly. There is also a designated shuttle stop located in the parking area just in front of the condo, offering quick access to the Village, the recreation center, and other points throughout the resort.



Northstar is known for its year-round recreation. In winter, more than 3,000 acres of skiable terrain draw skiers and snowboarders of all levels, while groomed paths and the Village ice rink add to the seasonal charm. In summer, the resort becomes a hub for hiking, mountain biking, outdoor dining, live music, and family-oriented activities. The natural surroundings and resort infrastructure work together to create an environment that is both invigorating and relaxing.



This neighborhood combines the beauty of the mountains with the ease of a modern, well-organized resort, offering guests exceptional access to everything Northstar has to offer.



Getting Around:

Navigating Northstar and the surrounding Truckee region is straightforward, especially for guests new to the area. The resort is designed to make travel easy without relying heavily on a personal vehicle, and several transportation options ensure smooth access to the Village, recreation areas, and nearby towns.



Within Northstar, the complimentary shuttle system is the most convenient way to get around. Guests can request a pickup through the Northstar transportation app or by phone, and a designated shuttle stop is located directly in the parking lot just steps from the condo. This service provides reliable access to the Village at Northstar, the recreation center, trailheads, and other key points throughout the resort. Using the shuttle is particularly helpful during winter, when parking areas fill quickly and weather conditions can slow travel.



For those who choose to drive in winter, it is important to be properly prepared. Four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles equipped with snow tires are strongly recommended, and carrying tire chains is required by law when storms are active. Arriving early during peak ski days can help avoid congestion, though many guests find the shuttle to be the most efficient option for navigating the resort during busy times.



In summer, getting around becomes even more flexible. The paved paths that wind through Northstar make walking and biking enjoyable ways to reach the Village or nearby trails. The shuttle continues to operate, offering convenient access to dining, shopping, concerts, and seasonal events.



For travel beyond Northstar, downtown Truckee is only a short drive away. Guests who prefer not to drive can use the Tahoe Area Regional Transit (TART) system, which connects Northstar with Truckee, Kings Beach, and many North Lake Tahoe destinations.



By combining walkability, an efficient shuttle network, and accessible regional transit, Northstar offers a smooth and stress-free travel experience. These options allow guests to focus on enjoying the mountain environment rather than navigating logistics.



Other Things to Note:

To ensure a comfortable and well-prepared visit, guests will receive access to our comprehensive TouchStay digital guide. This resource is designed to answer common questions, provide local insight, and help each member of your group arrive fully informed. The guide includes check-in instructions, Wi-Fi information, operational tips for the gas fireplace and ski lockers, local dining and activity recommendations, and detailed guidance tailored to Northstar’s unique environment.



Northstar experiences true mountain conditions, especially in winter. Storms can develop quickly, and heavy snowfall is common. Guests should be prepared for snow-covered or icy roads, potential travel delays, and the need for proper winter equipment. Four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles with snow tires are strongly recommended, and chains may be legally required during storms. The guide provides information on parking during winter weather, snow removal procedures, and how to enter and exit the property safely during severe conditions.



Northstar is a resort community with established rules regarding parking, noise, and guest behavior. These guidelines help maintain a peaceful environment for all residents and visitors. We encourage guests to review the community policies in the guide prior to arrival.



We recommend sharing the TouchStay guide with all members of your group so everyone is aware of important details before and during the stay. With proper preparation and a clear understanding of how the resort operates, guests can enjoy a smooth, relaxing, and memorable Northstar experience.

Wonderful small condo

The location can’t be beat! You literally walk out the door, go to the back of the building and you are on the ski trail down to the gondola and lift! Condo was very clean, excellent small kitchen, VERY comfortable beds, including the Murphy bed in the living room. Ken was super responsive. Only minor downside is that the condo is quite small for a family of 4 including 2 teenagers, for example, the couch can seat 2, maybe 3 people, and there are no other comfy chairs to chill on besides barstools or folding chairs. We were OK with that, knowing that we were going to be able to ski in and out was better for us.

Great location, but a bit cramped

Hello fellow VBRO-ers ... First Ken and Danielle are great hosts, and did a wonderful job preparing the space for our visit ... everything was clean, well stocked and they were easy to reach whenever we had questions (A).Second, the location is excellent ... the ski slope in the trees behind the condo is a short 30 second run to the Village Express chairlift and main Gondola near the rental shop. It took a few seconds to remove our skis and walk in the front door of the round floor unit ... exactly as described (A).Lastly, the overall space is a bit cramped for more than 2 people and other than the bar stools, there weren't any table and chairs to sit around for meals or games. The master bedroom has a king bed (very comfortable), but there is only a foot of room around 2 of 3 sides to navigate (so be careful you do not hit your head on the wall mounted TV). Also, there is only one night stand by the bed and no dresser for cloths; you do get half of the closet hangers. (C).In the common area, the owner has installed a king sized Murphy bed (also very comfortable), but it's a challenge to find a place to store the sofa when the bed is folded down (C).The kitchen is clean, well-equipped, and good to cooking most meals, but challenging for more than 1 person at a time (B-)Overall, it is a small, well-furnished, clean condo located directly on the slopes ... so, if you are visiting Northstar to ski, and sleep it's the perfect spot for a few fun days on the slopes.
