About this property

Gray Wolf Haven - Quintessential Mountain Home - private spa - walk to village.

Gray Wolf Haven at Northstar ski resort is equal parts rustic & elegant.

This 3,288 sq. ft. home is located on one of the most desirable streets in Northstar's Big Springs community. The interior was beautifully transformed with custom features including extensive stone work, reclaimed wide plank heated wood floors, beautiful wrought iron light fixtures, and luxurious slab stone countertops. It's simply a mountain beauty waiting to caress you and your family with warmth and charm. Nestled in the pines, this enchanting home's upslope lot affords you the opportunity to feel hugged by the mountainside. After a long day on the slopes in winter, or an action-packed day of hiking, etc. in summer, your own private spa for 7 awaits.

This home's multiple wood decks and stone patios will beckon you to stay at home, but the literally mountains of activities all around may just pull you away.

CONCIERGE SERVICE: Make your upcoming stay a little more relaxing with pre-arrival and same day grocery delivery. We have partnered with a local company to offer you concierge services. They have personal shoppers that can deliver anything you may need to your rental prior to your arrival or during your stay. You will be provided with their contact information upon completion of your booking.

PARKING:
Parking winter - 2 vehicles on driveway/1 vehicle smaller than F150 in garage.
Parking summer months - 3 vehicles will fit on driveway/1 in garage.
No parking is allowed on the street due to Northstar policy.

The Northstar Village is a seven minute stroll on foot, however, if a short walk is not your thing, your stay includes a complimentary shuttle service to take you almost everywhere in Northstar. The Village offers many restaurants and shops, movie theater, ice skating/roller skating, live music, bungee jumping, pottery painting, and even a chocolate bar. The slopes at Northstar are famous for both downhill and cross country skiing/boarding, snowshoeing, and the ever popular tubing hill in the winter, however, during the summer months the slopes are magically transformed into downhill mountain biking complete with lessons, and hiking and golf are also a staple on the outdoor adventure menu. (Note: during Spring and Fall seasons when Northstar's Winter and Summer mountain operations are closed, the Village restaurants and retail outlets run on a modified schedule. Expect limited dining and shopping options during these periods - typically between end of ski season through late June and after Labor Day through mid-November.)

This property is very conveniently located near North Star Resort. It's clean and well-stocked with all the amenities that we need. we love the decoration style as well. All of our family members enjoyed using the jacuzzi after a long day skiing. Overall, we enjoyed the property very much and will return.

Our stay
Overall the house was wonderful - great location on a quiet cul de sac street; short drive/walk to The Village. Check in and Check out were very easy. Very comfortable house. Our biggest issue is that we were not really able to use the beautiful front deck as the exterior shutters were broken/closed; only way we could access it was to go through the upstairs master bedroom and squeeze through a side door; unfortunately we had two little ones slepping in there so we only used it once or twice. We were pretty disappointed about this as that is where the beautiful sunsets were; otherwise we had a great time.

Perfect Family Vacation
We really enjoyed our stay at this Northstar resort home. It’s a very comfortable house that was big enough for our multi-generational family with an area for adults and kids to have their own space. We enjoyed spending time on the back patio having a morning coffee or lunch. The hot tub was a nice option after a day of hiking. The house had a game table with games that we played each night. We did access the Northstar recreation center, but only one day due to the cost. The 2 year old loved the splash pad and playground. The adults enjoyed the pool and pickle ball courts. Plan to pay $2 for a towel or pack your beach towel as there are none at the house. We did have an issue that was resolved relatively quickly. When we arrived the first night the air conditioner was not cooling the house. It took a couple days to get it up and running. Also in the room with the double beds the remote for the TV was missing. We were told it would take a few days to get a new one. I do not think it ever arrived during our stay. It is a great location with easy drives to Kings Beach, Donner Lake, and Downtown Truckee. Overall we had a great experience and we would recommend this property.
