SCOUT REVIEW
Northstar Resort Lodging is a versatile collection of privately owned condos, townhomes, and vacation homes spread throughout the Northstar California Resort area. Perfect for skiers and snowboarders who like the flexibility of condo-style living, these properties range from cozy studios to large multi-bedroom homes, catering to everyone from couples to extended families.
Guests can expect a home-away-from-home atmosphere, with most units offering full kitchens, fireplaces, balconies, and laundry facilities. Décor varies, as each is individually owned, but many feature the warm, woodsy aesthetic typical of Lake Tahoe mountain homes.
The best part about staying with Northstar Resort Lodging is the access — many units are either slopeside or just a short shuttle ride to the lifts and Northstar Village. The Village itself is a lively hub, with après-ski spots, boutique shops, and the family-friendly ice skating rink. For those staying in properties managed by Northstar Lodging, complimentary shuttle service makes getting around effortless, whether you’re heading to the slopes, the Village, or the Recreation Center.
The Recreation Center is a standout perk, featuring multiple outdoor hot tubs, a heated pool, a gym, and a game room — ideal for relaxing after a big day on the mountain. Some units include access automatically, while others may require a small fee, so it’s worth confirming when booking.
Overall, Northstar Resort Lodging delivers comfort, convenience, and flexibility — a great option for travelers who want to stay close to the action but enjoy the independence of condo living in Northstar, California.
Who should stay here
Families, groups, and couples who value space, comfort, and convenient access to skiing and the Village — ideal for those planning a longer stay or who prefer self-catering accommodations.

About Northstar
Northstar California Resort is one of the lesser known Tahoe ski resorts, so most people who come here are pleasantly surprised. The resort has undergone gigantic improvements in recent years and the European-style village is now a vibrant and happening place that has a wonderful homely feel. There’s a variety of accommodation options, shops, bars and restaurants on pedestrian-only walkways that meander around buildings and an ice-skating rink. Oh, and the skiing is pretty good too!
