Hyatt Vacation Club at Northstar Lodge, Lake Tahoe
We had such a great stay at the Hyatt. We had 3 families going and the staff made sure our three rooms were as close as possible. The rooms were all well stocked with great quality kitchen cookware. Bring your own seasonings though! We loved walking to the village and highlands gondola for skiing. ...

Northstar California Resort
The rooms was good. A few lights were out and the people above us stomped around. They woke us every morning clomping around and opening the slider to the patio. Ski equipment most likely. Conveniently located and the shuttle picked up right outside the room.
