Take your next Lake Tahoe vacation to this beautifully remodeled Northstar condo. This two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home is located just above Northstar Village, where you can walk or ski down to the gondola, or hop on the free shuttle for easy access to the lifts.

This condo is in a very convenient location for all the fun Northstar has to offer. Guests have access to the Northstar Recreation Center for a small daily fee, which includes multiple outdoor hot tubs, a large fitness center, a game room, and seasonal swimming pools. Northstar Resort itself offers endless activities—skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, tubing, shopping, and dining in winter; and golf, tennis, hiking, biking, and roller skating in summer. Just a short drive away, you can also enjoy Lake Tahoe beaches, boating, paddleboarding, parasailing, hiking, and even nightlife at the North Shore casinos.

This is a two-level condo with high-end finishes throughout. On the main floor, you will find the entry, master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a half bath, and an open kitchen and living area. The kitchen is beautifully updated with granite countertops, designer cabinetry, and stainless appliances, while the living room features a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace and large windows overlooking the passing gondola and pine forest. Head upstairs to the second bedroom, a bunk room with a full-over-queen bed, ensuite bathroom, and smart TV.

In winter, you'll enjoy ski-in convenience and quick access to lifts. Condo located just above the Northstar Village, walk 2 blocks or take the free shuttle - walk 1.5 blocks across the parking lot & ski down to the gondola. In summer, you'll be close to championship golf, hiking, and biking trails.

    Great location and nice unit, nice to be so close to Northstar village and have access to the pools. Everything we needed for a family of 4. Was really hot during our stay, so having a large fan was a nice addition. For families with younger children, watching the gondola go by the window is fun. Master bedroom on first level is a little cozy and limited closet space, due to vacuum and items stored, but for a long weeks was ok. Would stay again.

    Such a nice house, we always love staying in the condos on the hill.. Short walk to the village run, so easy even with a 6 and 9 year old. clean place with good beds.. the bunks are huge. the master bed is a little small but its a small room. living room was comfortable and the kitchen was stocked well. couldn't get the fire place to work and the TV only had 12 channels. I'm sure there was a way to get our streaming services but we couldn't figure it out. Other then that it was a GREAT spot!

    Pros:The location is excellent, with a very convenient walking distance to the village and easy access to the condo ski run.Kitchen and bathrooms were notably clean upon arrival, which was appreciated.Cons:Linens were limited, with only a few bath and hand towels provided, and no washcloths available.The kitchenware is outdated, particularly the worn Teflon non-stick pans and plastic cooking utensils. Additionally, supplies like foil and plastic wrap were missing.The primary bedroom is quite small, consistent with previous reviews making exiting from one side of the bed impossible.Closets were largely unusable as they were cluttered with miscellaneous items. There were fans and humidifiers placed randomly in every room.The bedroom blind was broken, carpets could benefit from a deep cleaning, and the bedding feels outdated and could use an upgrade.There were no instructions for using the smart TV, leaving us limited to only basic cable channels through the menu.Overall, while the location and cleanliness were great, the property could benefit from more attention to detail, and a few updates to improve the guest experience.

    Pros - excellent location, great amenities, clean property. Cons - the space was great for our kids - the upstairs bedroom with the bunk beds had lots of space and a good size en suite bathroom; however, for us parents, the space in the downstairs bedroom was very tight and the bathroom was small as well. Better if rooms were flip-flopped. Also, the window in the downstairs bedroom was literally a couple of feet from a window for the adjacent unit - it was hot that labor day weekend and with no a/c had to open windows. Unfortunately for us, our neighbors had a colicky baby who was screaming all through-out the night and it felt like the baby was in the room with us - didn't make for a good night sleep. I suppose there isn't a whole lot that could have been done about that - I guess other than not staying there when the temps are in the mid-80's, so you don't have to keep windows open at night. It was still a nice place though and again the location was prime.
