About this apartment rental
Enjoy true ski-in/ski-out at Northstar, where the Coyote Fork run passes right by our door when snow conditions allow. Start your morning with a few laps, come back for lunch at your own table, and finish the day by the gas fireplace with tree-top views.
Our recently remodeled 957-square-foot, 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo sleeps 6 in four beds and sits quietly between the slopes and Northstar Village. Two queen beds, a twin bunk bed, and two bathrooms, including a tub and shower combination, make the layout especially useful for families. In summer and fall, hiking, biking, golf, swimming, and Lake Tahoe day trips are all close by.
⭐ HIGHLIGHTS
▪ Ski-in/ski-out on Coyote Fork, a blue run leading to the Highlands Gondola, when snow conditions allow.
▪ The green Condo Run is about a two-minute walk across the parking lot and feeds the Village Express lift and Big Springs Express Gondola.
▪ Northstar Village is a short walk away, or take the free Northstar shuttle from the condo parking lot.
▪ Verified 420 Mbps WiFi and a dedicated workspace with a monitor and HP AirPrint printer/scanner.
▪ Gas fireplace, Sonos speakers, three streaming TVs, more than 50 DVDs, and a large selection of board games.
▪ Two bathrooms: a tub and shower combination downstairs, and a rain shower ensuite to the upstairs bedroom.
⭐ WINTER AT NORTHSTAR
Northstar is especially well suited to families, with ski and snowboard schools and plenty of gentler terrain. A ski locker on the ground floor of the building keeps skis, boards, and wet boots out of the condo.
Northstar Village is a short walk away, with an outdoor ice rink, fire pits, restaurants, and complimentary s'mores at 4 p.m. You can also ride the Highlands Gondola up to The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe for dining or spa services.
⭐ SUMMER AND FALL
Northstar offers much more than skiing. The Northstar Bike Park provides lift-served downhill mountain biking on the same lifts used during ski season, with rentals and lessons available in the Village. Hiking and cross-country trails begin at the door, and the Northstar golf course is nearby.
Kings Beach and the North Shore of Lake Tahoe are about 15 minutes away for swimming, boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Donner Lake is about 20 minutes away and offers another option for swimming and paddling. Sand Harbor is about 35 minutes away.
Historic downtown Truckee and Commercial Row are about 15 minutes away, with restaurants, bars, and shops. Optional access to the Northstar Property Owners Association Recreation Center provides additional swimming, tennis, and fitness facilities.

This was the perfect place for a family ski trip. Super close to the village and amenities and also a short drive to Truckee or Lake Tahoe. We can’t wait to come back!
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
Owner was the most responsive of any I've ever worked with. He did his best to work on a few issues we had with the unit- not having parking permits, TV/ fireplace or their remotes not working. He responded multiple times, almost immediately each time, even while overseas. The place was clean with decent beds and in a perfect location. It would overall have been 5 stars were it not for the minor hassles.
