About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Delightful California scenery and outdoor adventures await you at this 2-bedroom, 2-bath, Truckee vacation rental condo! Located on the north side of the beautiful Lake Tahoe, this cozy property is the perfect alpine accommodation for a small family. The Northstar Gondola is just a short walk from your door, along with shopping and dining opportunities in Northstar Village. Spend your stay exploring the slopes or trekking along challenging trails before returning to the comfort of home!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed, Twin Bunk Bed | Living Room: Queen Futon

After a day spent exploring the mountain or an afternoon on the lake, you’ll be happy to come back to this cozy condo and recuperate. Kick back on the futon in the living area in front of the gas fireplace - the perfect end to any outdoor excursion.

Refuel from your action-packed day with a hearty home-cooked meal prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Serve your culinary creation at the breakfast bar set for 2 or gather around the classic wood dining table to share a meal with the whole crew.

Check out the abundant Northstar community amenities to further unwind. For an additional fee, you can enjoy the 2 pools, 1 adult hot tub, 1 family hot tub, a sauna, tennis court, weight room, lounge area with arcade games, air hockey, and a pool table.

-- THE LOCATION --

As one of America's favorite vacation destinations, Lake Tahoe is sure to be in your top ten as well. This beautiful destination is keeping travelers busy regardless of the season. Rent a boat on a hot summer day to enjoy the cool waters of this state line-straddling lake.

The warmer season also welcomes abundant trails primed for hiking and biking. Trails around town offer great biking or running paths, and hiking is an even better way to bask in the beauty of this oasis.

Winter time offers visitors spectacular skiing opportunities, and the Northstar chair lift is only a short walk from your vacation rental.

Whatever your activity of choice - or if you’re just hoping to chill out with no activity - Tahoe is the perfect spot for your next getaway!

Great place to experience the Tahoe Blizzard!

The cozy condo was nice and warm while 77" of snow dropped over a long weekend. The accommodations were clean and we highly recommend the location for skiing at Northstar.

excellent serive and expierience

We got excellent support in exstending the stay of our visit on short notice. The property management company was really easy to work with. We arrived late at night after driving thrrough a storm. We locked the keys inside the house and got this quickly resolved at 1:30 in the morning. Very gratful for the quick and proffesional help. The residence is located in a quiet area above the village with all the ammenties that make a trip like this amazing. Ski lockers, laundry room, board games for the family that are age appropriate for children. The local shuttle service can take you to and from the village using an app to setup a pickup. We had an amazing weekend. This is a loft style home with an on suite bath room with a queen and bunk beds upstairs. The view out the window has the gondolas going by. This is an excellent choice for a budget minded family of weekend with friends. We will definately stay again !

Dirty!

The condo was very dirty - hair in the shower and on the bathroom floors and the carpets were not clean. The beds were uncomfortable and the bunk beds were EXTREMELY squeaky. The rental office closes ONE HOUR after the 4pm check-in time, but there was a procedure in place to mitigate this issue. The condo has a number/digital lock on the front door, but the management company makes you pick-up keys from the property office, which makes no sense.

Terrible

We arrived at around 10pm to the property after picking up the keys. When we got to the condo, the keys didn’t work. It took several times to get a hold of an actual person with Martis Property. The representative said she will send out a message to let Martis know we don’t have access to the condo. After waiting for 30 min & again several attempts to call them back, the representative said their computer was down and their techs are trying to fix it. Fast forward to about 12:30am, my family and I were still waiting. I had 5 kids in the van and all of us were exhausted. We finally went to another hotel nearby. Luckily, they still had availability. Then Martis Property on-call rep called back almost at 1am stating they still haven’t heard from anyone who will give us access. I just said I want my full refund. At that point, I don’t even want to go back to that condo. One week later, I still don’t have a refund. This is the worst experience ever in renting a vacation property. Never again I’m going back there.

Good location, poor experience

The water heater broke on the second day of our stay. The support that we got was not timely. We needed to make a bunch of phone calls to follow up on the issue. It was really torturing to take multiple cold showers in such cold weather.

too many flights of stairs

There are three flights of stairs to enter the unit. The unit was filthy when we arrived and even though the cleaning lady arrived after we called, there are some things that cannot be unseen.

Disappointed

We booked this condo for two nights mainly because it had enough beds for everyone in our family. The problem was that the beds were so uncomfortable nobody got any sleep The downstairs bedroom literally had mattress springs poking in my back all night. At 4 am the first night, I'd finally had enough and raided the linen closets putting every extra blanket I could find over the mattress in an attempt to protect my back from the prodding mattress springs. The second night we gave up on the mattress all together and borrowed an air mattress from a local friend. The bunkbeds upstairs were NO BETTER. They really are sized for children under 5' tall. My teens said it was like sleeping on a pool raft that has leaked out most of its air. On top of all that, once we checked in we found a note on the TV that said the cable TV was not working so we could only stream movies from our phones. Really disappointed....I hope they use one of the nights rental fee we paid to buy some new mattresses.

Outdated Pictures / Rude Property Management

Hello, Just to let know that the pictures that are advertised, were extremely old and the place was pretty run down. I called the management and they stated "so, what do you want me to do about it" . I was so frustrated I ended up hanging up on them.

Flawless keepup on a nice charming condo

Everything has been done with quality workmanship and classy decor. Nice second story condo with a loft and cute windows in a well decorated wall that overlook the main floor instead of just a raliling. Beautiful counters, cabinets and well designed bathrooms. Rustic trim on modern walls. It's at the top of the Northstar condo area so you drive through the nice village then up the hill a bit more so that only forest is above the parking and buildings. It's a bit narrow like all condos in the area but didn't feel too closed in for a group of 4. It can sleep 8 but has comfortable seating for about 3-5. Great laundry a door away shared by the floor of the building that doesn't require coins. Thanks for a nice stay!

A few mishaps but we still enjoyed Northstar

We had a few small hiccups with our reservations but still enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and in nice working condition but we had no hand soap, no shampoo and we ran out of toilet paper so I feel like things could have been stocked better. Also, despite letting the property management company know that we would be arriving after hours the did not leave our key in the lock box. Someone had to get ahold of the manager to come give us the key and handle our paperwork at 9pm. Luckily we were able to get ahold of them and handle it fairly quickly, otherwise I'm not sure what we would have done and we had 4 tired kids with us. So overall happy with the place and the location but I would make sure to have everything triple confirmed with the property manager.

We arrived on Friday to be told we were not getting the ski in ski out house we booked.

We arrive on Friday just to be told we were not getting the house that we booked. We were told by the rental company we were lucky that we were getting at another house. Even though we were paid in full. The house we were given was a complete rundown mess. I am very disappointed and may never use VRBO again. The management company was useless in solving the problem and again told us we should just be happy we got something

Not really ski in and ski out...

The place overall was fine... but a couple of things to note: 1. You have to pick up physical keys for the unit (even though there is a keypad on the door). The hours for pickup are very limited -- check in after 4, office closes at 5... we were coming up from the Bay Area and had worked out arrangements to get the keys after hours. They were supposed to be in an envelope in a mailbox by a vacation rental office by the Truckee airport. We arrive, find the mailbox, but no keys... it took an hour to get someone to meet us which was super frustrating -- especially when we got to the unit and saw that there is a keypad for the lock... 2. The unit is billed as "ski-in, ski-out" -- we had rented a very similar place over Christmas that truly was ski-in, ski-out -- you walked behind the building to the village run slope. This unit is not really near that area -- it's way on the other side -- you have to walk with your skis and poles maybe a quarter mile. It's true that you don't have to get in your car, but it's not as convenient as the units that are located on the other side... 3. The unit was missing things that I thought would have been there -- dish soap, dishwasher soap and toilet paper. I could have brought some if someone had mentioned that those things wouldn't be stocked.

Convenient Location, Reasonably Priced

If you are looking for luxury accommodations, this is not your place. We generally stay in the Village but given the price of lodging in the week between Christmas and New Year's, this place was the most attractive price for the location. The pictures and description are accurate. We had read the reviews and decided the ability to ski in/ski out was more important than other factors so went in with eyes wide open and lowered expectations. Had it not been for the lowered expectations (which were met), I would like have given the place 3 stars.

Great Condo, Easy access to Northstar ski trail

The Condo unit was very nice and clean, it had everything we needed. The short walk to a ski trail was very convenient. Upon arrival be certain to ask the rental office for a parking permit and recreation center passes, which should have been included in our packet but were not and my car was tagged for possible towing. Otherwise I would highly recommend this condo rental.

Great space and great location

We really liked this space. It was cozy and comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. Unfortunately we couldn't get the cooling system to work but we left the windows open which helped. It was a hot summer day for us but I am 100% sure that this space would be ideal for a winter stay. The location was great! Safe and quiet but not too far from the main road and very close to the North Star Village.

Not Impressed

This is the 8th time I have stay at North Star and always enjoyed our stay and the units we stayed in. I had read the reviews on this unit and silly me thought those issues would be resolved. They were not. Not enough towels to supply all occupants of the unit it said it could house. The unit is very cluttered.
