About this property

3 Bedroom/2.5 bath Home with a HOT TUB, xtra sleeping nook, and shuttle at door

A cozy + 2000sq feet home at Northstar Resort, perfect for 2 families for your next mountain vacation! Everything you need is here, no need to bring anything along. Pull into the easy access level driveway with room for 4 cars, or pull all the way into the attached garage. Step into the large mudroom with plenty of storage for all your gear. On the main floor you'll find a nicely appointed kitchen which opens to the dining room and living room with vaulted ceilings. The open floor plan is great for entertaining, and the dining room seats 6 comfortably with another 3 seats at the kitchen bar. From the dining room step out onto the deck and large backyard with a great sledding hill for the kids in the winter (sleds provided), and in the summer enjoy the Weber gas grill and dine al fresco under the pine trees. In the living room enjoy a 50 inch big screen HDTV as well as beautiful views of the golf course. Also on the first floor is one of 2 master suites with a queen size bed, 32 inch HDTV and attached full bath, a bunkroom with 2 full size bunk beds along with a twin bed to sleep 5 total, and another half bath in the hallway. The washer and dryer are on this floor as well, and access to the attached 2 car garage. On the second floor is the larger master suite with a king size bed, 40 inch HDTV, and huge master bath with double sinks, jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Next to the master bedroom is a bright and sunny play area for the kids with another TV, books, games and toys. There's also an air hockey table up here. This is a nice area to sleep extra kids on a blow up mattress. There's also a cute bonus sleeping alcove with 2 twin beds, suitable for smaller children. Cable, Amazon Firestick & Wi-Fi are provided throughout the house and the garage has a foosball table and couch which is a nice place to relax.

The location on Basque is great for easy access to the golf course and Minor's Camp daycare. The Northstar shuttle is available on demand, and will pick you up at your door and take you to the Village within minutes, where you'll find skiing, several restaurants, ice skating rink, Starbucks, and more. Take the Highlands Gondola up to the Ritz Carlton for drinks or dinner! Or head to the Rec Center for a workout at the full gym, then enjoy the pool and hot tubs. In the summer there's tennis as well! Everything is here for a vacation you'll never forget.

Perfect size and great location

The home had everything we needed and was the perfect size for us. We loved how the kitchen opened up to the dining room and living room so it felt like we had a lot of space. We had some small children so we were able to cook in the kitchen while still keeping an eye on the kids in the living room. The mud room was perfect during the winter. We were able to keep all of our snow gear in the room. We had plenty of room to play and sled in the backyard, which we did on the day it snowed and did not want to drive around. On one of the other days, we went to North Star and used the shuttle service which was extremely convenient and fast. We used the app which showed us how far a shuttle was from us. Ro was extremely helpful and proactive. He provided us with up to date weather information and responded quickly whenever we had a question. He was extremely accommodating.

Wonderful Northstar Stay

Our family had a great time in this home. The owner is a genial host and was responsive to any questions we had. This home is well-stocked with appliances, condiments, supplies, and dinnerware. No shortages were noted. The patio is comfortable and easy to relax in. It leads to an outdoor area that is safe for young children to explore and play in. It is conveniently located to the Northstar Rec Center and Village which we enjoyed. I heartily recommend this home for fun, relaxation, and a great Tahoe stay.

Charming mountain house w/ hot tub, shuttle, near skiing and more!

We came to snowboarding and the location near the village made the place ideal. It is dated and the furnishings seem to date back to the ‘80s, but it was very comfortable. We were enjoying hot tub and everything. Overall, a very nice place and we all had a wonderful time.

Perfect Tahoe getaway with everything we needed!

We had a group of 4 adults and 3 kids and had plenty of space to spread out, especially with the open loft area. The kids loved the loft game area, plus all of the toys/games to check out. The kitchen was a hit for the adults with tons of great cookware, spices, etc. It felt like cooking at home! The hot tub was so nice to relax in after skiing, and the wood burning fireplace kept it warm and cozy inside. Super easy garage / driveway access, and the shuttle made transportation so convenient. The beds were really comfortable and house layout gave everyone enough space. Overall everything was perfect, and Ro was an unbelievable host - nicest we've ever had! He helped us navigate our stay with a blizzard and was super responsive and helpful. Thank you, Ro! Can't wait for our next stay!!!

Christmas 2021

Amazing rental, loved the charm this place provided! And when I say stocked it had everything we needed and then some. Beds were very comfortable, Hot tub was a lifesaver, back yard had a great sledding hill. Our family of 5 and 2 grandparents were more than comfortable. We were caught up in quite the storm over the Christmas holiday, Ro was nice enough to let us check in early and stay an extra day with all that went on, our family was so appreciative. Although Northstar was closed due to all the snow.. we were able to make it there in no time and we’re about to park before we found out they weren’t opening 🤣. It’s that close !!! Thanks again for an amazing Christmas experience our family will never forget!!!

Family summer vacation

This property was great for 2 families. 4 adults and 3 children. Plenty of space for all of us. The back deck with the hot tub was very relaxing. This house is in a quiet area and very close to many fun outdoor activities the area has to offer. We also enjoyed a relaxing afternoon at the Northstar Rec Center. We would love to come back.

Wonderful Home!

On a last minute emergency, we contacted the owner of the home through VRBO and he immediately responded and offered the home as soon as we needed. Very responsive and when we arrived around the time that we told him, he called to make sure that we were settled and that the home was in good condition. The home was absolutely beautiful, perfect for our family and had plenty of room! Great location, beautiful views and the hot tub was incredible. We will absolutely be back.

A Gem At Northstar

This is a great house for families. Kids had so much fun. And it was very clean & comfortable.

Great for 2 families during ski week

Well-stocked house that is great for 2 families. The flat driveway is great when it's snowy and icy out. We used the fireplace and kids loved the bunk room. Hot tub was unfortunately not working while we were there, but owner was responsive and tried to get a technician out. Generally clean and well kept with the exception of the chaise lounge in the living room, which had a lot of dog hair on it (an FYI for those with allergies, which luckily we didn't). Great sledding hill in the back if you're willing to hike up and down, and overall we had a great stay!

Great Family Vacation Home

My family and I spent the week before Christmas at 143 Basque skiing and snowboarding at Northstar resort. This vacation home is in excellent condition, well-maintained, and has three bedrooms. There is a spacious kitchen and dining area. The wood stove was an added benefit warming the living room on those cold winter nights. The Northstar shuttle picks you up at the door and runs all day so it is easy to get to the slopes without having to hassle with driving and parking every time you want to leave the house. The property is maintained by the owner and he was easy to communicate with when making our reservation.

Great house for families!

This was our 2nd trip back to this house b/c we loved it so much the first time. And, this time there was snow so the kids were able to take advantage of the sledding right across the street. It's perfect for 2 families b/c there is a separate area for kids to hang out in. Very clean and comfortable. Will definitely return and strongly recommend. Owner is very responsive and helpful.

Wonderful Family Home

Our family of 7 adults and 3 children loved our stay at this family home over Christmas week. The owner is extremely welcoming and responsive. He gave us lots of information and encouraged us to contact him with any questions. They keep the house well-stocked with cooking and bathroom supplies as well as cards and games and the beds and sheets are very comfortable. The kids loved the air hockey table, bean bags and tv in their own little nook. We really enjoyed the open greatroom and hottub and felt very at home there. The access to Northstar village is also great with friendly and timely shuttle drivers, one of whom spoke very highly about the owner. It was hard to leave!

Well equipped ski house

This is a great ski house, very comfortable and well equipped. Location is also great. Overall, better than the description and pictures. We were 2 families + an au pair. Despite low snow, kids had a great time sledding across the street. Kitchen was better than most in terms of equipment, supplies etc so good if you like to cook. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Ro

We are originally from Minnesota and southern California, but have been living in Sacramento since 1995, and feel that northern California is a great place to raise our family of 3 girls.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to Northstar for the past 15 years. We have loved seeing it develop into the fantastic resort that it is today. Our girls have all learned to ski here, and we appreciate how family-friendly it is. Northstar amenities are second to none.

What makes this property unique

We love the spaciousness of this home, as well as how bright it is. There are beautiful views out of every window and our kids love the upstairs play area as well as the great backyard.
