Charming Chalet-Style Cabin in Northstar - Holiday Retreat
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 movie theater.
The Northstar shuttle picks up right in front of our home, generally within 5 minutes of the scheduled time. 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, remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, and beautiful new furnishings that blend rustic industrial chic with French chateau styles, you will at once feel cozy and warm.
First Floor Downstairs:
- Combined Living/Dining Great Room
- Vaulted ceilings & Cathedral windows
- Remote control fireplace
- Leather sofas and stylish furnishings
- Widescreen TV with DVD player, cable, and 100+ family DVD movies
- Large wood & iron dining tables that seat 10
- Remodeled kitchen with knotty alder cabinets, black granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances
- Remodeled bathroom with a tub/shower, granite vanity top, and beautiful copper vessel sink
- Large bedroom with a King-size bed and a single bed (Owl Room)
- Medium-sized bedroom with a Queen-size bed (Bird Room)
- Laundry room with new stainless steel washer and dryer, and a ski rack
- Deck off the living room area with a wrought iron dining table and chairs, a sun umbrella, and a BBQ
Upstairs includes:
- The loft/game room has bunk beds (plus a trundle), a pro foosball table, a dart board, games, and a widescreen TV with a DVD player and cable TV.
- Beautifully remodeled bathroom with double vanity, black granite countertop, two vessel sinks, and a large shower
- Large master bedroom with king-size bed, settee, dramatic chateau chandelier, and stylish furnishings
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 the Golf Course. Plus, you will have access to the nearby beautiful Northstar recreation center (Guest Passes - $10pp per day), which features a full fitness center, weight-training room, locker rooms with showers, saunas, three outdoor hot tubs, and a lap pool, all 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 collection 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.
Please note: NO SMOKING is allowed on the premises (inside or out), and NO PETS are allowed. Violation of these terms will result in the loss of your deposit. We need to keep our place fresh and clean for all guests, so this is very important.

About the host
Hosted by Donna Madier
We are a family of four from the Bay Area. We have been vacationing in Lake Tahoe for many years and consider it one of our Happy Places and a home away from home. We love to ski, hike and travel.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the layout and location of this property. It has great bones! We've remodeled it and it looks and feels like a charming getaway - decorated in French Industrial Chic style. It has a great room which includes the living room and dining room with vaulted ceilings, large bedrooms and spacious loft that serves as a game/entertainment room and a large yard with a deck on one side, hammock on the other and lots of gorgeous pine trees.
What makes this property unique
The location is perfect! It's on Beaver Pond, right next to a trail that leads right to the resort - about a 10-minute walk. A free shuttle picks you up in minutes right at our home with all our ski gear and it's great having year-round access to the wonderful rec center which has pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, a work out room, a game room, and much more.
