Rustic Truckee Lodge w/Rec Room - Near Northstar!

Bring the whole family and close friends to explore the California mountains at this 6-bedroom, 5.5-bath vacation rental house in Truckee. Sleeping 14 guests about 1 mile from the Northstar Resort Rec Center and ski lifts, this home offers 2 separate living areas with gas fireplaces, 8 flat-screen TVs, and all the modern essentials for a comfortable getaway. Enjoy access to community amenities for a small additional fee, activities in the base area, and simply relaxing at this Tahoe area abode!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed | Bedroom 4: Queen Bed | Bedroom 5: Queen Bed | Bedroom 6: 2 Twin Beds | Rec Room: Sleeper Sofa

This Northstar lodge will prove to be that ideal mountain retreat you've been searching for, as it rests close to all the activities in the resort base area but also provides a private 3,500-square-foot living space for you and your travel companions to spread out and unwind at the end of each day. Travel in the winter for exciting days of skiing or the summer for endless mountain biking adventures and more.

Inside the home, an open-concept design leads you from the fully equipped kitchen to the dining area and main living room. Share tasty hors-d'oeuvres at the bar counter while the chef prepares a gourmet meal, then set the formal table to have a family feast.

During downtime, throw on the gas fireplace and enjoy favorite movies on the flat-screen cable TV. Head to the home's rec room for a nightcap beverage after a long day on the mountain and play a game of mini-foosball or cards before bed!

The bedroom suite provides a quiet sanctuary for 2 guests, while 4 bedrooms total include en-suite bathrooms for convenient luxury. Each bedroom also comes equipped with a flat-screen cable TV so you can catch up on a new show before drifting to sleep.

-- THE LOCATION --

For a small additional fee, guests can head 5 minutes down the road for access to the Northstar Recreation Center amenities including 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. Enjoy all these activities and more in the base area after days of exploring the mountain trails by skis, snowboard or bike depending on the season.

You can also experience star-lit ice skating in the winter, or fishing in the property's lake and Northstar horseback riding adventures in the summer. If you're looking to venture a little further for waterfront recreation, drive about 15 minutes to Lake Tahoe or a half hour to Donner Lake.

After shredding the mountain, the base area offers après ski activities like shopping, fine dining, live music shows, and movies at the cinema. Take a break from the mountain and spend the day in Truckee's downtown area, hosting several surrounding golf courses and unique eateries.

Big! Good location.

Kitchen, fridge, pantry, dishwasher all good and well stocked. Enjoyed the BBQ. Beds comfy. Lots of room. Needed more hand towels. There was no Kleenex. Window shades are in disarray. A coupl of trash cans hadn't been emptied. Lots of "food debris " on kitchen floor. Could have been cleaner. Overall, is a good house but could use a little more attention.

Big Disappointment/Dingy Home

This was a letter I sent to the on call people and did not get a response after: We actually finally found a box of trash bags that was not in plain sight inside the garage. None of us parked in it to begin with, so it was hard to find it unless you move some stuff. We spent time looking into cabinets, etc. I suggest, that, since instructions on the the check-in and check-out process are pretty more company-friendly, the following suggestions be given due consideration: 1. The location of the trash bags should be stipulated and/or placed under the kitchen sink where most trash originates from. 2. A description of the dumpster location be included since it is a hard to miss right turn for non-Tahoe residents. 3. During summer months, the Tahoe area can be very uncomfortably warm. Please clearly state that there is no AC. We were literally sweating even at night with windows open and ceiling fans on. This avoids an extra layer of disappoinent for guests who prefer a a welcoming cool atmosphere especially from the sweltering heat outdoors. The interior of this home is literally hotter than outside! The absence of an AC can make or break the decision to rent a house. 4. The house was very dark and unwelcoming when we came in and had a peculiar smell on the entryway stairwell, which, by the way has very dirty carpetry. Additionally, the lay out is more like a labyrinth with a wall to welcome guests and walls blocking the views outside...unlike the sunny and airy photos advertised. 5. The cabinets in the kitchen were also not clean and the floor was sticky. 6. For some, there were hairs on the pillows on the bed. We felt grossed-out sleeping on it. 7. There were also used towels in the downstairs dryer which were still damp. We had to run the dryer for you. 8. We are nurses and brought a UV light to make sure surfaces are clean, and they are not really clean enough to match the demands your company are asking for paying renters. Lastly, the on-call help was more interested in talking rather than hearing what I had to say. All in all, it was a very big disappointment .

Northstar the best family get-away.

Our Northstar VRBO was the perfect destination for our family from ages 10-75. Children, teenagers and adults enjoyed the home neighborhood, The Village, recreation area and the gondola ride to the Ritz. The neighborhood was well kept, and interesting to walk through. Close to Truckee, Donner Lake and all Tahoe destinations. Area was green, quiet and yet fun. Our family all enjoyed it.

Great location & property

We really enjoyed staying at this property. We had 3 families so 6 adults and 6 children between ages 2-5. Each family got two bedrooms so there was great separation and lots of bathrooms so everyone felt they had space. All the bedrooms were pretty "equal" so no one felt shafted. The kitchen was very functional and the home was very clean and safe for small children. There are stairs but they are carpeted and easy for little ones to navigate. The table near kitchen expanded so everyone could fit and the second family room (bar area) downstairs was a great bonus space. The shuttle into the village was very easy, you just download the North Star Transportation App and put in your address and it alerts you when shuttle is coming. Only a few things to note that we would have liked to have at the property. Not necessarily a knock on the property, these just would have made the stay even better. In the description we thought there would be a hot tub. Not sure if the description is referring to a communal hot tub at the rec center but we didn't see a hot tub at the property. It could have been covered by snow and if that is the case it would have been great if it would have been uncovered since we were looking forward to using it. In the kitchen there was no dishwasher soap so we had to buy that at store. Not a huge deal, we just would have brought some with or purchased on the way before getting to house. Other recommendations for kitchen would be dish towels (we went through a ton of paper towels), more cutting boards, a larger trash can and thicker trash bags (bags would tear and leak so hard to take out trash). Lastly, the 3 downstairs bedrooms had tubs with shower heads but we couldn't figure out how to get the shower heads to work. Baths were great for the kids but the adults ended up all sharing the one stall shower. The heating was also a bit confusing. There were 4 thermostats but 2 were labeled as non-functioning. The upstairs stayed very warm (too warm) and the downstairs would be cool so not sure if we weren't using them right. All in all, a great house, awesome location, and very clean. We would definitely stay here again.

Very clean and comfortable

We came up with our group for street vibes and the house accommodated 12 of us perfectly. Being so close to the north star center was great. The hosts let us check in early and check out late. We will defiantly book for next year.

Lily I.

The overall with the exception of the two listed complaints is very good.

There were only two things that could have been better. 1. The heating was not ideal unless you are in the second section. The bottom floor was cold the middle just right the top, which is the main gathering section was too hot. We had to open windows and doors to cool the area otherwise we would have freezen out the people in the bottom level. 2. For paying $245.00 for cleaning we were required to do more than I am use to. “The house should be as it was when we got there”. Well a housekeeper cleaned just before we got there and isn’t that why we paid for cleaning. I understand some of the items listed but object to the quit above what does that mean? The garbage requirement I felt was going too far. I have rented many places for vacation and have never had to get in the car go 1 1/2 miles to dump the garbage then return to the house to return the entry Card to the house.

Wonderful deck with furniture, patio had furniture & grill. Two laundry areas. Ceiling fans in all rooms. Close to Northstar Village and rec center. Free shuttle to both.

Clean as can be and the 12 of us fit fine.

Wonderful to be in Northstar for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. We were pleased with the house overall and it worked very well for 12 people. The house was very, very clean and fresh. The decor and furniture were a little dated but wasn't a big deal. TV room downstairs was perfect for kids and noisy adults late at night. Every imaginable utensil and tool available. Products in bathrooms (by Lather) were very lovely. Spices and a few other kitchen goodies were abundant. Since we were there for a summer visit, wish there would have been more umbrella tables and chairs on the deck and by the barbeque.
