Snowbird at Northstar - w/ Hot Tub, Free Ski Shuttle, Dog OK HOA Amenities
Located a short shuttle ride away from Northstar California Village, Snowbird Retreat is both convenient and comfortable, creating the perfect mountain getaway for you and your group.
The entrance to this unique home is found on the ground floor, where you will find a large mudroom with plenty of space for outdoor gear and easy access to a large two-car garage. The entry hall opens into a bright and open kitchen and living area which has the perfect layout for entertaining a group or game nights with the family. The spacious kitchen has all of the conveniences the chef of the family could want and overlooks the living room making it easy to stay connected. The grand living room boasts vaulted ceilings and large bright windows that give you a tranquil view of the wooded area behind the house. Sit and relax around the beautiful grand fireplace while catching up on the day's activities, or cuddle up and watch a movie on the large flat screen in the nook off of the living room.

In the summer you will find outdoor furniture, a bbq, and easy access to hiking and biking trails.
The staircase leading to the upper level splits off into two areas. The first area is a very private and modern Primary bedroom with a king bed, gas fireplace, and a convenient work area for those that need to plug-in. One thing the Primary does not lack is space, with access to a private deck area, a convenient walk-in closet, and an ensuite Primary bathroom with a shower and a jack and jill sink. The second upper-level area is where you will find the other three bedrooms and a laundry area. The first bedroom has a twin over twin bunk bed and a twin over futon bunk bed with a small flat screen tv. The second bedroom has a queen bed and a private ensuite bathroom with a shower. The last bedroom has a twin over twin bunk and a queen bed with windows overlooking the living room and is located just across the hall from a full bathroom. The area between the bedrooms overlooks the living room area and is where you will find the washer and dryer.

Fantastic home!
The Snowbird Retreat home was a great place for our extended family to stay for a few days. The home was clean and in a prime location for all of the activities we wanted to do. Our family would highly recommend the home and would love to return if we were in the area again!
Super convenient to the slopes, beautiful property. Would definitely return!

Summer at Snowbird
This is our second visit to this home, and will be back again! We stayed here in Winter of 2023 and had a fantastic time, and found out it is equally fantastic in the summer! The home is inviting and airy, and is within walking distance to the village. Will be back again :)
Thank you !
A beautiful home with all of the amenities! Love the high ceilings and large windows to the snowy outdoors. My husband and kids loved all of the electronics, and the desk and screen in the master suite was a plus for doing an hour of work in the morning. Definitely would stay here again.

A perfect vacation
Tahoe never disappoints. Visited Tahoe with my family who was visiting from out of town. The house was very comfortable for 10 people. It has all the amenities we could think of and more. Great serene location with a stream in the back overlooking the woods. Great location, great property, perfect for a comfortable stay in this beautiful setting.

Wonderful Home
Our stay at the Snowbird Retreat was perfect. The house is in a great location, it's very comfortable, lots of beds for the kiddos, and being able to bring our dog was a huge plus. As mentioned in other reviews, while the kitchen has quite a bit, be sure to bring up staples with you (for example, we couldn't find sugar for our coffee.
Make sure the heater in the main house doesn't kick on too early, it was pretty noisy in the single queen room.
Overall, highly recommend!
House was clean and on the shuttle route that had very quick pick ups and drop off's. Lots of space for everyone and their ski gear. It would be nice to have instructions on how to operate the heating system. I'm not sure if it's all remotely controlled by the rental agency, or not, but we were not able to adjust the heat at all. Sometimes a little too cool in the evening and a little too hot in the morning.

June lease in Truckee
Beautiful house in a quiet and peaceful location. We especially liked the ability to walk through the forest to the pool and rec center. High ceilings and view of the trees in backyard was also nice. The only reason for missing a star is the stove. The gas stove top without ventilation is not to code and dangerous. In summer we could open windows to vent, but in winter I wouldn't have used the stove for fear of indoor air quality. But if they replaced the stove with induction or added a real vent the house would be perfect!
