Overview

Plan a comfortable and fun-filled North Lake Tahoe vacation at this three-bedroom Northstar home, where you'll enjoy a private game room and close proximity to ski slopes, golf, and other fantastic resort amenities. This two-level mountain view home sits just one mile from the Village at Northstar, where guests will find a variety of restaurants, cinemas, and the base of the Highlands, Village Express, and Big Springs Express Gondolas. You'll be two miles from Northstar California Golf, eight miles from Kings Beach, eight miles from Truckee, and 11 miles from the lovely shores of Donner Lake. Step inside the living space to find an abundance of knotty pine details, which only enhance the cozy mountain atmosphere. Build a fire in the wood stove (wood is even provided), rest your ski legs on one of the three sofas as you read, or peruse the DVD and VHS collection for a favorite to watch on the flatscreen cable TV. Spend each morning in the well-equipped full kitchen, using the mixer, blender, and waffle iron to whip up a homemade meal. And there's no need to rush as you eat breakfast at the dining room table for eight - the convenient dishwasher will take care of the clean-up. Worried about overpacking for this summer or winter getaway? You'll have a private washer and dryer to refresh your outdoor wardrobe, as well as free WiFi to help you monitor the weather conditions. You'll always come home to a private deck, perfect for summer relaxation among the trees. Guests can also take the free resort shuttle one mile to reach the NPOA Recreation Center, which offers year-round and seasonal pools, hot tubs, saunas, a tennis center, a gym, an adult clubhouse, and a game room with air hockey, Ping-Pong, billiards, and foosball (for a small daily fee). Whether you're planning a family ski vacation, a summer lake getaway, or simply looking for the comfort of a world-class resort community, Northstar is a place to enjoy the natural beauty of the Sierras. The mountain boasts 20 lifts and 100 trails across 3,170 acres - ideal terrain for intermediate skiers especially. Come summertime, the Robert Muir Graves-designed golf course features 18 scenic holes, while the NPOA Recreation Center offers year-round fun for all ages. You can swim laps, watch your kids enjoy the summer splash pad, take a soak in one of the hot tubs, or practice your serve at the seasonal tennis center. THINGS TO KNOW Access to the recreation center amenities costs an additional $10 per-day fee for each guest five years or older.

Centrally located to the Northstar ski resort and all the great food selections in Truckee!

Great location, shuttle to Northstar Village is convenient. Plenty of space for sleeping, not as much space in the living room & kitchen. TV is small and in a corner, providing poor viewing angles. Totally serviceable for a ski trip! Feels like nothing has been updated since the 70's

My family and I stayed in this beautiful home over Christmas, and experienced the most miraculous White Christmas one could ever dream of! The property is beautiful, and the home itself was clean, tidy, and perfectly suited for our family of eight. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of cookware, and the bathrooms were thoughtfully supplied with towels, toilet paper, and shower essentials. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this home to others—10/10, trand we would love to return

We had a lovely stay at the Ford Family Escape! The downstairs was perfect for all the kids to stay in and hang out together. We had 2 families and it was the perfect set up for all of us. The boys loved the Foosball Table in "Their Room". House was clean and kitchen well equipped with cooking items. Enjoyed walking the trails right down the street from the house and the kids had a great time at the Rec Area with the pool and the arcade. Would gladly stay again!!

The home was as-advertised. A bit dated, but the price was in line with the home. Great location near the village and easy to get into and out of. The nice part was each room had an adjacent bathroom. Would have been nice to have a BBQ on the deck since it is Summer. Otherwise, worth the investment.
