The interior of our home sets it apart and into a class all its own. Hand distressed beams, hand hewed walnut floors and intricate masonry create that 'Old Tahoe' feel. A gourmet kitchen with professional grade appliances allows you to create a feast for your family and friends.
This home has a wonderful open floor plan. The kitchen, dining, and living room areas create a warm gathering place after a fun day on the slopes or on the trails. And while the adults gather there, the kids (or "kids at heart") have a place all to their own - a huge game room area in the lower level keeps them entertained so the adults can have some time to themselves. And, in the winter, they have their own private sledding hill right in back of the house.
Our amazing game room has something for everyone: An 84" big screen television, billiards table, 16' long professional shuffleboard table, professional foosball table, ping pong table, dart board, and a large game table that will be perfect for the poker or card game players.
The main deck off of our Great Room is ideal for outdoor entertaining in the spring, summer & fall. A large table seats up to 12, and there are eight Adirondack chairs surrounding the fire pit. The main deck also features a Weber gas grill (may not be available Nov-April). Please note that during the winter/ski season (Nov - April), we move all deck furniture into storage. Our decks may be closed during the winter season (Nov to April).
Off of the Game Room, is our expansive lower level deck. Boasting over 1,400 s.f. of patio and deck space there's a hot tub, picnic table, more Adirondack chairs, cornhole game, and Spikeball. Please note that during the winter/ski season (Nov - April), we move all deck furniture into storage. Our decks may be closed during the winter season (Nov to April).
In the winter, we provide sleds for kids (and kids at heart) to enjoy the slope below our home.
This home boasts six bedroom suites (bedrooms with attached bathrooms). Four of those bedrooms have king beds. Another one has a queen & a twin. The sixth bedroom is a bunk room (six twin beds) with a private bath. One of the king suites has an attached bedroom with twin beds (bunk), perfect for guests with small children. And there's a den with a comfortable American Leather Comfort Sleeper sofa sleeper - king size bed (gel foam mattress). Please see the floor plans in our photos for more details.
During the ski season, when conditions allow, the Home Run ski trail can be accessed from the end of our cul-de-sac - a short 10 minute walk from our home. You can take that down to the Village, or to the Highlands Gondola, for a quick trip up to the slopes or to the Ritz Carlton. Or, you can call for the free shuttle to take you anywhere at Northstar. Please note that the free shuttle does not operate during shoulder seasons.
Our home is part of the Northstar Property Owners' Association (NPOA). Our guests have access to the NPOA Recreation Center, which includes swimming pools, spas, fitness center, tennis courts, and other amenities. Northstar does charge a fee for use of the facility. That fee is currently $10 per day.

Maximum number of standard size vehicles is 6 in the summer and 5 in the winter (when the ski mountain is open). One of the garage bays is NOT available during the winter months so that it can be used for storage and staging of ski equipment or other items. The driveway has a capacity of 4 standard size vehicles. The garage has a capacity of 2 standard size vehicles in summer or 1 in winter.. Placer County does not allow renters to park on the street. No RV, boat, or trailer parking is allowed. Large SUVs, pick up trucks, or vans may take up two of the standard size parking spaces.

Like most Tahoe homes at our elevation, our home is not air conditioned. Summer days are best spent enjoying outdoor activities and our summer evenings cool down nicely in the fresh mountain air. Our home is equipped with a whole house fan which allows you to bring the cool evening (and morning) air into the home. If you are considering a Summer stay at our home, and have any concerns about interior climate control, please contact us to discuss further.
Full Transparency on Check Out Duties: At the time of your departure, the home should look the same as it did when you arrive, with the exception of the beds, linens, and customary cleaning of floors and surfaces. In the kitchen, all dishes, utensils, pots/pans, etc... should be cleaned and put away (you may leave a final load running in the dishwasher when you leave). Trash should be taken to the community dumpsters. For the full Check Out Check List, you may view it in the photos in our listing. Please make sure that you are comfortable with it before booking our home.

Wonderful home. But we chose not to use the downstairs game room which was a shame. We could not eat or drink downstairs so didn’t feel free to use it. Otherwise everything was fine. Spacious, well appointed furnishings and art work We especially liked he deck with the artful globe firepit
Three generations of our family stayed in this wonderful home in June. The layout allowed for room for every family member to enjoy whatever suited them. Our teens enjoyed all of the amenities in the game room and having their own space in the bunk room.The adults loved having their own suite, bathroom, fully stocked kitchen, lovely mornings on the beautiful decks and room to relax and enjoy each other’s company.The communication with our host David was excellent. He accommodated our requests as we made sure that we treated his home as ours for our stay.We enjoyed outside excursions to The Tree Top ropes and zipline course, a boat ride with captain on the lake and lovely hikes.This was a family vacation of our dreams.
Wonderful house. We had a family ski week and enjoyed the home. Lots of space for everyone, with private bedrooms. Fantastic kitchen. Easy slope access and we lucked out with perfect snow. David was easy and quick to communicate with. I'd return again.
Beautiful home, everything you would need for a great vacation. Loved that the kitchen was stocked with high end appliance's, pots and pans and pantry staples. The game room was a big hit, with everything in great working order. The fire pit on the deck was a bonus, since there was no snow:( We used it daily.All the beds were very comfortable. there were plenty of towels etc.We would definitely stay again
Our family of 15 enjoyed this cabin very much! Listing was very accurate. Communication with the host was also great. Other than not being able to ski into the cabin it was perfect for our family.
We’ve stayed at this home many times over the years, which probably says everything you need to know. It’s an incredible property and consistently one of our favorite places to stay.David is a fantastic host—an excellent communicator, very responsive, and extremely detail-oriented. Everything is always well organized and the entire experience, from booking to checkout, is seamless.The location is ideal for skiing with easy access to the village. The layout of the home is perfect for families—the downstairs game room gives the kids their own space, while the upstairs kitchen and living area create a great gathering spot for adults.We truly can’t say enough good things about this place. There’s a reason we keep coming back, and we’re already booked for next year!
We have stayed here before and like other stays
had a great time. There’s plenty of room and the kitchen is well appointed. Access to Lake Tahoe and the village pool provided good entertainment.
Owner Dave is extremely responsive to any questions we had.
This is a superb property with amenities and rooms to please all. Location was wonderful and appreciated the bear mat. The game room was above and beyond expectations. Everything was wonderful.
We created amazing family memories here. We arrived in a snowstorm and Dave came and shoveled everything himself to make sure we didn’t have to worry about it. He was super communicative and helpful. We enjoyed all of amenities this place has to offer. We were with a group of 13 and everyone had their own space. A+ can’t wait to come back!
Another great week at Tahoe. We love this house!! It has a great location, lots of room
for our family of 21 and a great playroom.
The kitchen provided all we could need.
And our host Dave(and son) were so quick to respond to any questions.
Thanks again Dave
We had a wonderful time with plenty of room and games for all. Our group was composed of 18 adults and 2 children. Dave,our host,was attentive and had everything ready for us.The kitchen was well equipped, house was clean,beds were comfortable and everybody was happy.
This was a well maintained home perfect for a large family vacay. The large game room in the basement kept the kids entertained and the pool table, shuffle board, dart board and ping pong games were all well maintained. The owner was very responsive to a few issues that arose, even though he was on vacation himself! We had four families in the home with 16 people and it accommodated us very well.
I sent 8 of our Leadership team members to Tahoe for a 3 day strategy meeting. They could not stop raving about how wonderful the house was and the space was perfect for them to work hard and unwind and relax in the evenings. They ate at few of the local restaurants recommended by the owner and were very pleased. I would definitely book this house again. Thank you David for your hospitality and sharing your home for others to enjoy.
We had a wonderful weekend at Dave’s beautiful Tahoe home. We were 8 adults and 8 kids ranging in age from 3-8. The house was spacious and comfortable. Check in was super easy and Dave was very easy to communicate with. The rooms felt almost like hotel rooms with beautiful clean linens. The kitchen was great to cook in and had lots of pots, pans, and serving trays. The proximity to the mountain is great and the Northstar shuttle makes going to and from the mountain very convenient. Highly recommend staying here and we hope to be back!
Awesome property, large enough for extended family. Close to slopes. Comes with perfect hot tub, fully equipped kitchen, 4 large suites, plus extra pull out couch , pack & play for toddlers & the greatest playroom . Immaculately clean. Owner Dave was always available to cater to our needs & requests . Everyone agreed it was simply perfect house away from our house. Thank you Dave for comfort you provided our group of 7 adults & 4 children , one of them 16 month old tot..We will be back.EvaAlvarez
This marks our fifth time renting this home, and it continues to exceed expectations. Everything, from communicating with the homeowners to the smooth arrival process, is fantastic. The property is ideal for accommodating large groups, with the added bonus of a sled hill behind the house. Plus, access to the Northstar base is conveniently just a stroll down the road (ski down to a lift) or a quick 5-minute bus ride away, with the bus stop conveniently located right in front of the house. We've already secured our booking for 2025 and highly recommend this home.
This was the perfect house for our 3 families and 1 set of grandparents as each group was able to have their own private space and bathroom. The common area was great for all 17 of us. Kitchen was well appointed for large group cooking. We especially enjoyed the outdoor area and had each and every meal on the deck. When the kids were done, they simply went to the lower deck to play the various outdoor games when the adults relaxed upstairs. A warning: Primary bedroom has one of those high beds. If you are short, you may not be able get into it.....especially if you just had knee surgery! This house definetly enable us to have a very nice and memorable vacation. Thank you, David.
Wonderful property for a family reunion. Lots of spaces for quiet conversation and fun game time. Very well stocked kitchen and spacious for many cooks in the kitchen.The game room is incredible. The property is walking distance from hiking trails which was a real plus.We really appreciated the owner's responding promptly to questions.
Host was amazing prior and during our stay. Property and amenities were beyond expectations. Great location and the ski in/out was a great addition. Thanks for letting us stay!
