Good stay

Had enjoyable stay. Trip was to do some fishing and hiking in the area. Very clean, well equipped. Had excellent communication throughout stay with owners who were helpful and checked in with us regularly to see if we needed anything. Not a big place but very comfortable for the two of us. Quiet location. Easy walk to Northstar Village. Would stay here again. Just one observation. If you have trouble with stairs, it is a bit of a climb up the walkway and two flights of stairs to get to the condo.

Amazing property in convenient Ski Trails area

We had a wonderful stay at this property for our last ski trip of the season. We've stayed at a lot of Ski Trails area condos over the years, and this is our favorite one by far. All the appliances in the kitchen were in great shape, as were the Nest thermostat and fireplace. Both bathrooms looked to be recently renovated, and the updates were both tasteful and practical (imagine a bathtub you actually want to use!). Our kids loved the bunk _plus_ queen bed upstairs, and they were excited by all the available board games. The internet was very fast and the WiFi signal strong, and we even successfully cast a movie to the downstairs TV for a movie afternoon. We're looking forward to booking another stay at this property soon!

Perfect location

Loved this condo! Perfectly situated next to the mountains for an easy walk to North Star village and a quick walk across the parking lot to ski in/ski out. Plenty of space for kids to play in the snow outside. Short drive to grocery store and downtown truckee. The condo was a perfect size for our family of 5. Excellent communication with the owner/property manager. Definitely recommend.

Great condo close to the village and the slopes

My family and I (spouse, 2 kids - 9yo and 12yo, and my mother) enjoyed a great stay of 4 nights early January. The living space is very cozy with a view of the trees and Lake Tahoe in the horizon. The kitchen is very functional and well stocked. Everything worked well, including streaming to the TV which was very convenient to watch a family movie after a nice day on the slopes! The condo is close to the Village Run trail and at a walking distance from the Big Spring and the Highlands gondolas. It is convenient to drop and pickup the kids at their snowboard lessons. The way back to the condo is uphill. It is a short walk but it is worth having a shoulder strap or a backpack with ski/snowboard carry. The communication with the property manager was excellent: responsive, clear, and caring.

Slope Side Serenity: Family Friendly with Recreation

Our recent stay at this VRBO condo was nothing short of exceptional. The moment we walked in, we were impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of the space—it truly felt like a home away from home. The location couldn't have been better, providing easy access to both Northstar Resort and the charming town of Truckee, as well as the beautiful Lake Tahoe. Eric and Emile, our hosts, were remarkable. From the initial booking process to our departure, they were incredibly accommodating and responsive. Any questions or concerns we had were promptly addressed, making our stay even more enjoyable and worry-free. Their hospitality truly added to the overall positive experience. The condo itself was well-equipped and thoughtfully furnished, ensuring we had everything we needed for a delightful vacation. The beds were cozy, the living spaces inviting, and the amenities top-notch. We highly recommend this VRBO condo to anyone seeking a memorable and convenient stay in the Truckee/Lake Tahoe area. We look forward to returning in the future!

We enjoyed our stay, we were in town for a lacrosse tournament. It was close to the fields my son played on and with in walking distance to North Star village, which made it nice to have things to do so close after we spent the day at the tournament. My kids loved the pool/rec center, beautiful area. The house was clean and cozy perfect for my family of 6 to hang out play games and watch movies in our down time. We cooked all our meals and the house had everything we needed to do so. Highly recommend this cute and cozy home.

Have tried a few locations in/around Northstar - this condo is beautifully upgraded, and incredibly kid-friendly, and steps from the ski run. Managed by the owners who were in frequent contact in the days before the trip, including a surprise email advising we could check in early (unexpected, unasked, though enthusiastically welcomed).

About the host

Hosted by Eric & Emile

Host profile image
We're a family from the San Francisco Bay Area.

Our love of travel has taken us all over the world, but Lake Tahoe is one of the most special places.

After years of renting, we finally have our very own vacation homes at where we feel offers the best of each of these locations. Northstar California Resort is our favorite all-season family-friendly destination in Tahoe and our ski-in/ski-out condo is located at the heart of the resort.

We have seen our fair shares of hotels and Airbnbs and can't wait to meet fellow travelers and give them the same great hospitality that we have been shown across the globe.

Why they chose this property

We have been driving to ski at Lake Tahoe for years. It's always been worth the trip, but eventually we starting having a larger family and realized that we needed a place for the kids to recharge during the day. This condo was absolutely perfect for what we needed. It's make it easy to get on the slopes in the morning and return for lunch. We also realized there's much more to Tahoe than the snow, and this has been a great base for exploring the best of Tahoe all year round.

What makes this property unique

Ski-in/Ski-out when conditions permit immediately off Coyote Fork run. Easy walk to Condo & Village run located at other side of parking lot. During summer, this is also a prime location for mountain biking at Northstar. Easy driving access to Truckee and Lake Tahoe.
