Compass by Tahoe Getaways - Northstar Luxury w Pool and Tennis Access
Discover a hidden gem at the heart of Northstar Resort, just minutes from world-class skiing and mountain adventures. This Energy Star–certified, lodge-style cabin combines upscale comfort with eco-conscious design, offering the ultimate Tahoe retreat. Built in 2009 and recognized as Sustainable Building of the Year by the Contractor's Association of Tahoe/Truckee, the home showcases exceptional craftsmanship—from dramatic timber beams and granite finishes to reclaimed wood flooring and a striking stone fireplace.
The open-concept main living area welcomes you with vaulted ceilings, rich wood accents, and a cozy, remote-controlled gas fireplace. Carefully curated, high-end furnishings create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances, elegant wood cabinetry, generous counters, and a large center island—perfect for gathering with family and friends.
The primary suite provides a private mountain escape, complete with a plush queen bed, flat-screen smart TV, and a balcony with sweeping views of Martis Valley. Its spa-inspired ensuite includes a freestanding soaking tub and a custom walk-in shower. Down the hall, two additional bedrooms offer versatile accommodations: one for younger guests with a twin bunk bed, single twin, and trundle, and another with a luxurious queen bed, ample storage, and a built-in workspace overlooking the forest. These bedrooms share a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, plus an additional half bath nearby.
Step outside to a wraparound patio and take in unobstructed mountain views from every angle. The home backs onto serene forested open space and provides direct access to the Tompkins Memorial Trail. Enjoy a short hike to Northstar Village or hop on the seasonal ski shuttle that stops right at your front door.
Whether carving fresh powder, exploring scenic trails, or relaxing by the fireplace, this Northstar cabin delivers an unforgettable Tahoe experience—where luxury, sustainability, and nature come together in perfect harmony.

We had a really great stay. Everything was as expected with the house. Locked ourselves out once, but the property managers were quickly able to help us get back inside.

Great Stay
We had a lovely visit to the Northstar area and enjoyed the Compass Luxury Lodge. It's a beautiful property, well appointed, with all of the necessary features for a comfortable visit. We took full advantage of the sledding gear after the season's first dump of snow. The family also enjoyed the Rec Center with its workout & game rooms, giant hottub, saunas, and heated lap pool.

Beautiful Northstar home. Great views off the front deck and easy access to multiple trails out the back patio. Home was perfect for 4 adults and 2 young children. Kitchen (and really the entire home) very clean and well appointed.
