About this property

Pines & Peaks Retreat

Summary:

Relax among the trees with vaulted ceilings, cozy living spaces, and resort amenities just minutes from the slopes.



The Space:

Welcome to Northstar Alpine Hideaway, a beautifully updated mountain retreat offering the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and year-round adventure in the heart of Northstar. Whether you're planning a ski trip, a summer escape, or simply looking to relax among the pines, this inviting two-story condo provides everything you need for a memorable Tahoe getaway.



Step inside to discover a bright, open living space featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the home with natural light and peaceful forest views. After a day on the slopes or trails, settle into the comfortable sectional sofa, warm up by the fireplace, or stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV using your personal streaming accounts.



The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed to prepare meals at home, from quick breakfasts before hitting the mountain to relaxing dinners with family and friends. A dishwasher makes cleanup easy, while the open layout keeps everyone connected throughout the day. If you're working remotely or checking in on schoolwork, a dedicated workspace provides a quiet place to stay productive.



Both bedrooms have been thoughtfully updated with new furnishings to ensure a restful night's sleep. The primary bedroom features a king-size bed with a new mattress, while the second bedroom includes extra-long twin beds that are ideal for both children and adults.



Enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening from either of the home's two private balconies, where you'll be surrounded by towering pines and the peaceful mountain setting that makes Northstar such a special destination.



As a guest, you'll also have access to the Northstar Recreation Center, where amenities include tennis and basketball courts, a fitness center, sauna, hot tub, seasonal lap pool, and picnic and barbecue areas set alongside a beautiful mountain creek. A daily recreation fee applies and is paid directly to the Recreation Center upon entry.



Located just a short complimentary shuttle ride from Northstar California Resort, you'll have convenient access to skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, shopping, dining, and year-round events in the Village. Northstar Golf Course is less than two miles away, while Historic Downtown Truckee is only a short drive, offering local restaurants, boutiques, breweries, and community events throughout the year.



Whether you're here for fresh powder, mountain trails, or simply a peaceful escape in the Sierra, Northstar Alpine Hideaway offers the comfort, location, and amenities to make every season unforgettable.

What a great condo! With access to northstar recreation center this was a great perk. (Expect to pay a daily 10/person daily fee) if using. The condo itself was clean and felt very cozy. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms were all updated and very nice. I’d stay here again easily. The only downside I could think of is there is no AC so the rooms were hot at night. There were fans provided. Everything else was perfect! There are also food options 5mins away at northstar. Approximately 20 mins from kings beach, there is so much to do in north lake!
