Summary:
Mill Camp Gem
The Space:
This Truckee condo is one mile on the free shuttle to Northstar California Resort! In winter, there's 100 miles of snow: in summer, hiking trails. 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.
A short flight of steps take you to the front door, which has a digital lock with a code. The condo opens into a hallway with stairs leading upstairs and down. Upstairs is the living area, with a full bathroom on the left. The main living area is open concept, with a lounge seating and a TV with cable and DVD player. A cabinet full of DVDs and books will keep you entertained all evening.
A gas and wood fireplace warms the space, including the dining table for 6 and the open kitchen with 2 bar stools at the counter. When the weather's mild, open the glass sliding doors to the forest-view deck, where you'll find patio seating for 3.
In the kitchen, granite countertops and black appliances add a modern touch to classic wooden cabinetry. There's plenty of equipment big and small for everything you need.
Downstairs, there's a laundry room and two bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed and a TV for DVD use on top of a handsome armoire. In bedroom 2, another queen bed is complemented by a large dresser and closet. A full bathroom services these two bedrooms, featuring a stand in shower and single vanity.
The condo is approximately 1 mile from Northstar California Resort Village, this property has no end of things to do all year round! Come in winter and find over 100 miles of skiing, snowboarding and tubing at Northstar, with 20 lifts and 2 gondolas. In summer, snow melts to reveal glorious trails for hiking and biking. And all year round, you'll find upscale dining on the mountain, including Zephyr Lodge and the Ritz-Carlton.
Down at base, there's no shortage of year-round fun in the Village, from shops to restaurants, a movie theater, ice-skating and late night bars.

Our stay was excellent and we loved our time in the Lake Tahoe area. Northstar is in a great spot near Truckee, which is a fun, active town with plenty of great bars and restaurants.

skiing in late march!
great condo. nice furnishings and peaceful, beautiful view from the deck. would definitely come back.
This place was perfect. Great location and the shuttle made it easy to get around. Condo was clean, beds were comfy and there were plenty of towels and blankets. The gym and spa were also nice amenities.
Nice location and great amenities in the house. It was just a short drive to Lake Tahoe. The house worked out very well for my husband and I and our two young sons.

Great place to stay. Beautiful condo. We had everything we needed. Close to Northstar Villiage. Loved having the passes to the rec center. The place was very clean & quiet.
The location is beautiful and felt very secluded. The beds were so comfy and everything was clean. Having two bathrooms and laundry was great. Some things are a little dated but everything was clean. Would definitely stay here again!

Weekend fun
I highly recommend this unit, close to mountain, clean, updated and all necessary amenities!
We really liked our stay here. The person managing the property was very responsive. The place was comfortable. The shuttle is super easy and convenient. Made for a great trip!
I only have positive things to say about this condo. Great location, clean, nice showers, etc. I only wish our weekend trip were longer to take advantage of the kitchen and other amenities. Hoping to go back again. Would definitely recommend.
