The interior of our home sets it apart and into a class all its own. Hand distressed beams, hand hewed walnut floors and intricate masonry create that 'Old Tahoe' feel. A gourmet kitchen with professional grade appliances allows you to create a feast for your family and friends.
This home has a wonderful open floor plan. The kitchen, dining, and living room areas create a warm gathering place after a fun day on the slopes or on the trails. And while the adults gather there, the kids (or "kids at heart") have a place all to their own - a huge game room area in the lower level keeps them entertained so the adults can have some time to themselves. And, in the winter, they have their own private sledding hill right in back of the house.
Our amazing game room has something for everyone: An 84" big screen television, billiards table, 16' long professional shuffleboard table, professional foosball table, ping pong table, dart board, and a large game table that will be perfect for the poker or card game players.
The main deck off of our Great Room is ideal for outdoor entertaining in the spring, summer & fall. A large table seats up to 12, and there are eight Adirondack chairs surrounding the fire pit. The main deck also features a Weber gas grill (may not be available Nov-April). Please note that during the winter/ski season (Nov - April), we move all deck furniture into storage. Our decks may be closed during the winter season (Nov to April).
Off of the Game Room, is our expansive lower level deck. Boasting over 1,400 s.f. of patio and deck space there's a hot tub, picnic table, more Adirondack chairs, cornhole game, and Spikeball. Please note that during the winter/ski season (Nov - April), we move all deck furniture into storage. Our decks may be closed during the winter season (Nov to April).
In the winter, we provide sleds for kids (and kids at heart) to enjoy the slope below our home.
This home boasts six bedroom suites (bedrooms with attached bathrooms). Four of those bedrooms have king beds. Another one has a queen & a twin. The sixth bedroom is a bunk room (six twin beds) with a private bath. One of the king suites has an attached bedroom with twin beds (bunk), perfect for guests with small children. And there's a den with a comfortable American Leather Comfort Sleeper sofa sleeper - king size bed (gel foam mattress). Please see the floor plans in our photos for more details.
During the ski season, when conditions allow, the Home Run ski trail can be accessed from the end of our cul-de-sac - a short 10 minute walk from our home. You can take that down to the Village, or to the Highlands Gondola, for a quick trip up to the slopes or to the Ritz Carlton. Or, you can call for the free shuttle to take you anywhere at Northstar. Please note that the free shuttle does not operate during shoulder seasons.
Our home is part of the Northstar Property Owners' Association (NPOA). Our guests have access to the NPOA Recreation Center, which includes swimming pools, spas, fitness center, tennis courts, and other amenities. Northstar does charge a fee for use of the facility. That fee is currently $10 per day.
Please note that our home is not suitable for hosting any kind of event. We do not accept reservations for weddings, receptions, or any kind of party or celebration.
The exterior access points of the home, including the driveway, the walkway to the front door, and the outside decks, are monitored by security cameras, which record video 24/7. Exterior sound levels are also monitored.

Rates are based on a group size (adults + children) of 16 or less. Groups larger than 16 are charged $25 per night, per person, for each person in excess of 16 total. Group size is verified at check in and during the group's stay.
Per Placer County regulations, your group cannot exceed 16 people age of 12+. The overall maximum group size, including all ages, is 21. Placer County requires Owners to notify all guests on their vacation rental regulations. Prior to your arrival, we will send this notification to each adult member of your group, and they must acknowledge that they understand these regulations. You may request a copy of these regulations prior to making your reservation.
Maximum number of standard size vehicles is 6 in the summer and 5 in the winter (when the ski mountain is open). One of the garage bays is NOT available during the winter months so that it can be used for storage and staging of ski equipment or other items. The driveway has a capacity of 4 standard size vehicles. The garage has a capacity of 2 standard size vehicles in summer or 1 in winter.. Placer County does not allow renters to park on the street. No RV, boat, or trailer parking is allowed. Large SUVs, pick up trucks, or vans may take up two of the standard size parking spaces. Contact host if you have concerns that your vehicles will fit in our parking spaces.
This home is not appropriate for gatherings that involve copious consumption of alcohol or which might produce unruly behavior or noise. As our guests, we kindly ask that you respect our neighbors and the community by adhering to our house rules, and keeping all outside noise to a minimum. We will not tolerate any excessive noise or partying and have the right to vacate you from the property should this be an issue. Per the Placer County ordinance, outdoor amplified sound of any kind is prohibited.
Like most Tahoe homes at our elevation, our home is not air conditioned. Summer days are best spent enjoying outdoor activities and our summer evenings cool down nicely in the fresh mountain air. Our home is equipped with a whole house fan which allows you to bring the cool evening (and morning) air into the home. If you are considering a Summer stay at our home, and have any concerns about interior climate control, please contact us to discuss further.

Wonderful house. We had a family ski week and enjoyed the home. Lots of space for everyone, with private bedrooms. Fantastic kitchen. Easy slope access and we lucked out with perfect snow. David was easy and quick to communicate with. I'd return again.
Our family of 15 enjoyed this cabin very much! Listing was very accurate. Communication with the host was also great. Other than not being able to ski into the cabin it was perfect for our family.
We have stayed here before and like other stays
had a great time. There’s plenty of room and the kitchen is well appointed. Access to Lake Tahoe and the village pool provided good entertainment.
Owner Dave is extremely responsive to any questions we had.
This is a superb property with amenities and rooms to please all. Location was wonderful and appreciated the bear mat. The game room was above and beyond expectations. Everything was wonderful.
Another great week at Tahoe. We love this house!! It has a great location, lots of room
for our family of 21 and a great playroom.
The kitchen provided all we could need.
And our host Dave(and son) were so quick to respond to any questions.
Thanks again Dave
We created amazing family memories here. We arrived in a snowstorm and Dave came and shoveled everything himself to make sure we didn’t have to worry about it. He was super communicative and helpful. We enjoyed all of amenities this place has to offer. We were with a group of 13 and everyone had their own space. A+ can’t wait to come back!
We had a wonderful time with plenty of room and games for all. Our group was composed of 18 adults and 2 children. Dave,our host,was attentive and had everything ready for us.The kitchen was well equipped, house was clean,beds were comfortable and everybody was happy.
This was a well maintained home perfect for a large family vacay. The large game room in the basement kept the kids entertained and the pool table, shuffle board, dart board and ping pong games were all well maintained. The owner was very responsive to a few issues that arose, even though he was on vacation himself! We had four families in the home with 16 people and it accommodated us very well.
Awesome property, large enough for extended family. Close to slopes. Comes with perfect hot tub, fully equipped kitchen, 4 large suites, plus extra pull out couch , pack & play for toddlers & the greatest playroom . Immaculately clean. Owner Dave was always available to cater to our needs & requests . Everyone agreed it was simply perfect house away from our house. Thank you Dave for comfort you provided our group of 7 adults & 4 children , one of them 16 month old tot..We will be back.EvaAlvarez
I sent 8 of our Leadership team members to Tahoe for a 3 day strategy meeting. They could not stop raving about how wonderful the house was and the space was perfect for them to work hard and unwind and relax in the evenings. They ate at few of the local restaurants recommended by the owner and were very pleased. I would definitely book this house again. Thank you David for your hospitality and sharing your home for others to enjoy.
We had a wonderful weekend at Dave’s beautiful Tahoe home. We were 8 adults and 8 kids ranging in age from 3-8. The house was spacious and comfortable. Check in was super easy and Dave was very easy to communicate with. The rooms felt almost like hotel rooms with beautiful clean linens. The kitchen was great to cook in and had lots of pots, pans, and serving trays. The proximity to the mountain is great and the Northstar shuttle makes going to and from the mountain very convenient. Highly recommend staying here and we hope to be back!
This marks our fifth time renting this home, and it continues to exceed expectations. Everything, from communicating with the homeowners to the smooth arrival process, is fantastic. The property is ideal for accommodating large groups, with the added bonus of a sled hill behind the house. Plus, access to the Northstar base is conveniently just a stroll down the road (ski down to a lift) or a quick 5-minute bus ride away, with the bus stop conveniently located right in front of the house. We've already secured our booking for 2025 and highly recommend this home.
This was the perfect house for our 3 families and 1 set of grandparents as each group was able to have their own private space and bathroom. The common area was great for all 17 of us. Kitchen was well appointed for large group cooking. We especially enjoyed the outdoor area and had each and every meal on the deck. When the kids were done, they simply went to the lower deck to play the various outdoor games when the adults relaxed upstairs. A warning: Primary bedroom has one of those high beds. If you are short, you may not be able get into it.....especially if you just had knee surgery! This house definetly enable us to have a very nice and memorable vacation. Thank you, David.
Host was amazing prior and during our stay. Property and amenities were beyond expectations. Great location and the ski in/out was a great addition. Thanks for letting us stay!
We had great time at this house with our family. It was a great home that allowed our kids to build great memories with their cousins, aunts/uncles, and grandparents.
Spacious! Well equipped kitchen. The game room was so much fun and we loved sitting around the fire pit. Very quiet neighborhood. This was the perfect home for our extended family.
We were looking for a place for 4 friends/families and couldn’t have enjoyed our experience more. Perfect location; clean home and great owners who provided weather updates in addition to being extremely responsive. Would love to go back on a future visit
This house was wonderful for our family with the perfect number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The grandchildren loved the game room and everyone enjoyed the decks.
Great place and location. Had 16 people in house and we had plenty of room. Kitchen well stocked. The Great room was very comfortable and we enjoyed eating in the dining room as well as the upper deck. The game room was amazing and used by all. The house was furnished with higher end furniture than we’ve seen in others. Recommend this to all.
What a beautiful home! We had 10 adults and 11 kids, spent our days at the lakes and hiking, coming back to David’s place each evening was perfect.Y’all - how many times have you been in a rental and tried to work an appliance or something and had to google for 30 minutes just to make popcorn or turn off a ceiling fan?!?Not here. There were helpful tips, instructions, and guides everywhere. There was a damn YouTube video on how to turn on the whole-house fan… it was amazing.Communication was quick and easy - going to come back in the winter time, can’t imagine how magical this place is during ski season.
