Stayed in one of the condos here at NorthStar. What a beautiful place! The weather was gorgeous and there was lots to do! The snow is usually good, not quite as good as Utah. Easy drive for me from Sacramento to it's hard to beat. Overall, a very nice resort with great amenities, fun for children and adults.

Booked an impromptu spring ski weekend and decided to give the Village a try. The village has lots of shopping and dining options including a roller skating rink and even a movie theater. There are a couple of high end condo (Hyatt and Ritz) properties for those who want a four or more star experience. The Village Lofts and Rooms... More

Was part of a group visiting North Lake Tahoe/Truckee for a few days. This place looks and reads great electronically but it is totally different when you arrive. Any other accommodations on the property that looked nice had a big price tag. I am referring to the lodge rooms. Dated, beat up by the ski visitors, nonworking items, and feel... More

Stayed here for 4 days in a condo in the Catamount Lodge. Flew in from Washington, DC. Booked the room through VRBO, not Northstar. Great location directly across from the gondola. Starbucks a few doors down. There is no housekeeping unless you stay for more than 6 nights or request it for an extra fee. Condo was roomy, modern and... More

I booked a "loft style" Village room, but was very concerned because of the online reviews. However, at the late date that I made my booking, the loft or hotel style rooms were the only ones available in the Village through the Northstar website. Since we did not have a car, being in the Village was a must for us.... More

We stayed here in March 2013 in one of the "hotel-style rooms". Booked through Northstar website, which had 4 photos of possible rooms. The first two were recently remodeled and looked great, the second two looked older but still not too bad. When we arrived we could immediately see that we were not in the brand new "Village" building that... More

Our family of four HIGHLY recommend this resort. Just got back from spending 5 wonderful nights at a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo managed by Northstar at Tahoe Resort. We stayed in the Aspen Grove on Silver Strike Road. We could have easily walked to the village, but used the free and very convenient on-call shuttle instead. For dinners in... More

Granted the rooms are awful. They are like a bad revisitation to 1970, complete with cheap wood paneling and cheesy bedspreads. However, the location is so incredibly cool that it worked great for us in spite of this. In fact, the overall family ski-trip experience - the village amenities, the skiing itself, and the non-skiing activities - were the best... More

Stayed here with family in a studio loft. Cannot beat the convenience of the shuttle to village, we all, kids and adults alike, love the village, the amenities, lunch at the ritz, and skiing at Northstar is a family favorite. The studio condo is a disappointment for the money though, beyond rustic, barely decorated, super noisy heater, minimal amenities in... More
