Luxury accommodations and easy access to Northstar, Lake Tahoe and Historic Downtown Truckee make this home a sure bet for your next visit to the Sierras.

As the night winds on, transition from the comfortable dining table to the great room, where you can enjoy a warm fire, watch the game and easily serve your guests from the nearby bar. If some of your group craves quiet, a separate sitting room with TV, fireplace, laptop station and sofa sleeper is just around the corner.
The master suite on the main floor offers gorgeous mountain views, a king bed, fireplace, television and a seating area, as well as a soaking tub in the en suite bath.
