Particularly magical during the holiday season, this Truckee home is full of sunlight, comfortable furnishings, and modern appliances. Plus, the nine-person hot tub adds a spa-like experience to your mountain stay.
The living room is composed of a grand stone fireplace and vaulted ceilings, creating the perfect space for family movie nights and fireside coffee sips. As you step into the kitchen and dining room, you will quickly take notice of the marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and warm wood finishes. Two wine fridges ensure all your beverages are perfectly chilled. Prepare your favorite dishes while gazing out at the snowy landscape beyond, and when it's time to eat, gather around the formal dining table as a family.
Luxurious moments of peace will come with ease as you tuck under the plush quilts in each of the six bedrooms. Private TVs, ceiling fans, and ample storage space tie together the amenities in the bedrooms. As you continue to explore the home, you will discover a designated office space (including a desk and a printer), an in-home movie theater, and a laundry room boasting two sets of washers/dryers. Kid-friendly extras include a Pack 'n Play, high chair, baby safety gates, and a selection of games and books.
The perfect ending to another day in the mountains is spent in the bubbling warmth of the hot tub.
While exploring Truckee and beyond, be sure to check out Northstar California Resort, Historic Downtown Truckee, Old Brockway Golf Course, Donner Memorial State Museum, Truckee River Rafting, and Palisades Tahoe Resort.

Nice stay at Northstar
This was a solid choice for us. We come every summer for a week in the Tahoe area, and usually need a place with a lot of bedrooms. This fit us all nicely. The large hot tub and theater room were especially nice!

Great Family House
Family of 12 stayed for a week to celebrate Christmas together. House is in very good condition and is very spacious. It was great having bedrooms for the grandkids upstairs and privacy for the grandparents downstairs. Very comfortable and convenient. Well stocked kitchen and supplies. We'll probably look to stay again next year ;0)
