Northstar Original Village Studio One

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This comfortable studio condo provides cozy lodging for up to four guests in the heart of Northstar! Perched right on the main walk in the Village at Northstar, you won't find a more convenient location at a better price; best of all, the studio offers all the comforts of home, from cable TV to Internet access to a nicely equipped kitchenette.

The studio-style condo has two comfortable queen beds, making it perfect for a small family getaway or two couples traveling together. Walk to the ski lifts, or to the movie theater just down the street. The Village's ice-skating rink is steps away, along with world-class shopping and dining. The nearby NPOA Recreation Center offers year-round swimming pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, and workout facilities (the guest passes provided in the condo allows you access to all of these amenities for just $2/day).

While you're surrounded by amazing dining options, the condo has a nicely stocked kitchenette so you can prepare light meals and snacks. You'll find a coffeemaker, mini-fridge, and microwave, along with wineglasses and a corkscrew so you can linger over a long conversation and bottle of wine in the evening. Just across the street is a gourmet deli and taqueria, so you can easily grab a quick dinner to enjoy in the comfort of your condo after a long day's explorations.

There is one full bath as well, and a cable TV with DVD player. Enjoy the views of the slopes and mountains above right from your window, or step out onto your Village-view patio to soak up the sights along with the fresh mountain air.

Skiing couldn't be more convenient, and in the summer Northstar features downhill mountain biking from the gondola as well. Northstar's golf course uniquely offers a 'mountain nine' and a 'valley nine' to challenge your game. Truckee is just two miles away, and Kings Beach/Lake Tahoe are just six miles. The whole area is served by public buses that connect to Northstar less than a block from the condos. One private parking spot for the condo is in the closest lot at Northstar.

Treat yourself to a fabulous mountain vacation without breaking the bank! This cozy condo in the heart of Northstar is ready and waiting for you.

Terrific Location
Great location between Lake Tahoe and Truckee and many golf courses in between. Precise instructions on where to park your car, but few on how to find the unit. It took me a half hour of wandering around to find the place. What check-in process? There is none. Also, no TV users instructions.

Fees should be disclosed and Parking is a partial problem
VRBO and Vacasa both charge fees on this property (reservation vs. management) need to disclose all the fees upfront. You don't see them all until checkout and it feels like a bait and switch. Property is in a good location. It's a simple room, but good for a ski weekend. Except for the parking situation I would recommend it. On the day you check out you must move your car (far away or pay for premium parking closer). This negates the advantage of being so close to the slopes - especially if you only stay for one night. Other properties in this building allow you check out in the morning and to park in the spot until 4pm so you can ski all day. This one does not. Vacasa said this is policy, but I did not experience this at other Timber Creek properties this season. This made the location less attractive.

Great location
Right in the village, easy access to lifts/bars/restaurants. Room is small and dated, some wear and tear, definitely better places to stay in the area. Not bad though.

As advertised except parking spot is in construction zone and not usable. Fridge works, but seems a little ‘challenged’.

No frills room in the heart of the Village
Our family stayed here for a quick getaway to Northstar for skiing. The two queen beds were fine for our family. One annoyance was that we wanted to ski on our checkout date but needed to return the parking pass by 11am, requiring us to repark the car. The room was centrally located and included some dishes, small fridge and microwave so we could make a quick breakfast before heading to the slopes.

No luxury but convenient with perks
A small, studio with 2 queen (comfortable) beds. Forget about preparing any food, quarters too tight although it does have a small frog. If your out and about and only there to sleep, it will do. However, the cable box wasn't working so no TV although they were to replace on day we left and the DVD only plays in black and white. It does provide you with a good parking place and use of the recreation center, which is very nice and is located right in the village so no need to drive anywhere.
