My girlfriends and I stayed in Northstar-at-Tahoe resort, and the ski-in, ski-out condo was fantastic. Very clean, super convenient, and I loved the ski locker on the ground floor. Even though there was no natural snow, the snow-makers were running and we had enough snow to keep us busy for four days. I have to admit, I am not a... More

We strongly recommend to NOT stay at Northstar. Even if you have money to spend, you will be much better off staying off-resort and driving there. We stayed at Northstar Village for the two nights from January 7, 2012. When I made the reservation for my family in early December, all Web sites including Northstar's own Website, northstarattahoe.com, and all... More

The ski trail condos at North Star have arguably the best location for staying and skiing in Lake Tahoe, and the NorthStar development that manages them has definately the worst housekeeping service for these condos. We have come between Christmas and New Years for many years and have the same horrible (yes horrible) service each time. I just do not... More

We rented a 3br condo and paid over $700 a night. I almost couldn't stay here. The shag carpet had pieces of food in it, the tile floor in the kitchen was sticky, there was hair in the bathroom (as well as bits of toilet paper or tissue) on the floor, the bath/shower was stained, and the sheets weren't clean....

This place is definitely on the pricier side for the actual quality of the accommodation, but we got a "3rd night free special" that came with $50 certificate to spend in the village and a free camel pack, which seemed like a pretty good deal. Let me start with the good: Location, location, location! Northstar Village is fantastic, with great... More

After the last two experiences I'm done. The time before last. Front desk manager said to me when I showed up at 11:00 in the morning, "11:00 and I suppose you want to check in already." "Check in is not until 4:00." I explained that we were racing that day and had requested an early check-in 2 weeks before and... More

We stayed in a one-bedroom condo unit for 3 nights. It was within a 5 minute walk to the Village. The condo was clean, no-frills and had an adequately equipped kitchen. We enjoyed having the option of cooking our meals. The only downside of our stay were the indoor bugs. On our first night, we noticed that we had a... More

At Northstar-at-Tahoe, our primary concern is the safety of our guests. Notified of this potential issue, we contacted a well respected Professional Pest Control company to address the issue immediately. That same day, the Pest Control Company did a thorough inspection and confirmed there was no trace of bed bugs in the condo. We then did a comprehensive deep clean... More

We arrived at the front desk to learn that the unit we booked did not come equipped with Air Conditioning. After arguing with the guy at the front desk for about 15 minutes he offered to refund my room completely if I wanted to find another place to stay. This was out of the question as I had never been... More

We had never visited the Tahoe area and were unfamiliar with the finicky mountain weather. We stayed at Northstar because we were part of a wedding party. Being that it was shoulder season, we anticated that it would be quieter than usual, but not deserted! First, we arrived after 7pm - check-in starts at 4pm, and the check-in desk closes... More

This was actually the second time we stayed in the Northstar Village Lofts. Room 306 or 309, I believe it was. To be honest, I've pretty much soured on staying here. It was nice the first time we rented here, real close to the slopes (although the uphill schlep to the gondola in ski boots takes it out of me).... More
