About this property

Big Horn Penthouse Residence With Great Views Of Village & Gondola

This Village penthouse residence is just steps from the Northstar gondola, ski-back and "The Beach" ski school meeting area. Waking up in the morning you will enjoy views of the Village at Northstar, gondola and nearby mountains. Sit on the deck at the end of the day and watch the skiers/riders coming down from the mountain. Inside you will find your vacation home with a warm and inviting mountain theme.

This comfortable luxury unit features a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, spacious bathroom with separate shower and bathtub and two sink vanity, large living room with a queen size Comfort Sleep sofa sleeper (this sleeps 2 and is very comfortable), and a King bed in the master suite. The modern kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, a convection oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker (right now there is only a K-cup coffee maker), blender, and cooking & eating utensils. Relax in the evening in front of the push-button to start gas fireplace or watch a movie on the large screen LED TV with enhanced sound system. Later enjoy a second large screen TV located in the bedroom. Inside of the unit are large capacity energy efficient washer and dryer. Also enjoy amenities including free high-speed wireless Internet, cable TV with large flat screen TVs in both the living room and bedroom.

A short ride down the elevator and you are in the Village at Northstar with its wealth of restaurants, shops, skating rink, movie theaters, access to the Ritz via their own gondola, and evening activities. Eat in, eat out or order take-out; all are equally easy. Eliminating the need to haul equipment around, there is a large private ski locker at the building entrance on ground level with comfortable seating to allow you to “suit-up” in the morning.

With parking in the heated garage you will no longer need to shovel snow off of your car or scrape ice from the windows. There is easy access to the fitness facility with showers, steam sauna, weight room with the latest generation of equipment including treadmills and ellipticals with integrated TVs. Relax in one of the two hot tubs or enjoy the nearby swimming pool at the Village Swim & Fitness Center. Free access to guests to all of these facilities. It includes a fully equipped kitchen with new appliances, a stone gas fireplace, dining table for four, a king size bed in the master bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa (very comfortable!) in the living room. You can enjoy the large screen TV in both the living room and bedroom. Absolutely NO-SMOKING & NO PETS allowed in the condo.

Our Guest Directory in the condo includes the 'inside scoop' for fun year-round activities and our favorite local restaurant and shopping recommendations. We hope you enjoy your stay with us!

Perfect Winter Trip

Our family had a wonderful stay at this condo. Centrally located in the heart of the Village and a stone throw to the chair lift. It was truly the perfect winter trip for our family. The condo was very clean and well appointed with everything you might need (including washer and dryer). Parking conveniently located in the parking garage underneath the condo. Ski locker was an added bonus and convenience as well! Great communication with Beth and Andy. We will definitely try to come back and stay again!

This was the perfect condo for my teenage son and I for a quick 3-day Spring Break ski trip.

Very simple checkin process. Cozy condo and well furnished. My son noted that the pullout couch he slept on was the most comfortable he has ever experienced. The most important aspect we were looking for: very quick walk to the ski lift without breaking the bank. Very convenient and large ski storage locker on the ground floor. Easy parking garage access. The only improvement I could suggest is a digital door code to negate the necessity of mailing physical key cards. We made an error and didn’t properly review the checkout date or time. Beth was very professional, patient, and accommodating to help us get our luggage situated, so the maids could prepare the property for the next guests. Class act all around!

“It’s never been this difficult”

For starters we skied all day then after a long day we tried to follow the Check in Instructions as they were slightly confusing, because we were already in the village and thought we could find the key location on foot. Not the case. So I called the property owner at 4:30 to try to get assistance by telling them my location, they tried to explain the best they could but it still didn’t help. So after the second call and them replying “it’s never been this difficult” (which I thought was rude to say to a guest) we got to lock box NO key. Waited until 6:30 for cleaner to bring the key to us at restaurant we were eating at. Check in was at 3:00. Got to the room the sheets in the closet for the sofa bed were wet, luckily there’s a dryer in the place. The parking placard had to be found by playing “where’s Waldo looking through all the drawers. The PO was apologetic but one would think for the inconvenience something would have been offered in good business, but nothing. Also in the notes in the property it says $40 dollars will be charged for every hour you stay passed 10 oclock check out time. We got in the property at 7:00 PM and we departed at 9:00 am on check out day. Do we get a credit? (Haha Doubt it). I would recommend shopping around before renting this property. Anyway good luck hope you have a better experience with this place than we did.

The condo was perfect for our 4 night stay. We arrived on a Tuesday and the village was very quiet. It was much busier by the time we left on Saturday morning. The Swim & Fitness Center is very convenient and a great plus - especially for any lap swimmers. The small market/cafe in the village was super convenient for any needs. The condo itself is beautiful, with lots of convenient amenities (including phone chargers at each bedside table!). Definitely recommend!

Perfect location, thoughtful rental

We loved our stay at this property. The communication with the owner was very easy and helpful. Arrival was seamless. The rental was well appointed with thoughtful touches like bedside chargers on both sides with multiple fittings. Instructions and recommendations were provided and easily accessible. We didn't have the time to use the summer amenities like the pool and fitness center but having the access/opportunity is a major plus - as would the ski lockers be in winter. The location is incredible. We will happily return!

The condo was clean and very comfortable, loved the balcony although it could use a taller table to eat outside or play a game possibly. There was a lot to see in the village once everything opened. Very close to downtown Truckee. We had a great time and will definitely revisit

Great family ski trip

It couldn’t have been any more convenient. We parked in the deck right by the condo elevator. The ski locker was right by the front door of the building. The gondola and “ski beach” were steps away from the condo door. Tons of options within the village, so we never got back in our car while we were there. Condo was very comfortable and clean.

Great condo in Northstar village!

The condo is quite spacious (a little bigger than most 1 bedroom condos in the Village) and comfortable. It's so close to the gondola, with a convenient ski locker. The condo was well-stocked with necessities too. All messages to the property manager were responded to quickly as well.
