left by guests on Airbnb and VrboNicely updated condo with everything we needed for a few days of skiing. Close to runs for ski in/ski out and 5-10 min walk to village. Would stay again.

Beautiful spot, conveniently located and peaceful at the same time. We loved playing all the games available and enjoyed being able to snuggle up on the couch with Netflix after a long day outdoors. I think this place would be magical in the winter as well!

Eric was a fantastic host, and this place was a well-priced gem that fit all our needs! We were two couples and had plenty of space in Eric's place. The place was clean when we arrived, and he left thorough instructions for everything. He was also quite friendly and hospitable.

Questions guests actually ask us
Is it really ski-in/ski-out?
When the Coyote Fork run is open and there is enough snow on it, yes, you can put your skis on at the door and ski down, and ski back to the building at the end of the day. That is most of the season. Coyote Fork is how skiers get off the mountain at the end of the day, so Northstar keeps it open until the resort closes for the year. On the early-season days it is not yet open, it is a walk across the parking lot to Condo Run and Village Run and you are skiing again in a couple of minutes.
Are the pool and gym included?
Access is available, but admission is not included in your stay. Staying in our condo makes registered lodging guests eligible to use the private Northstar Property Owners Association Recreation Center, which is not open to the general public. NPOA currently charges $10 per day for each guest age 5 or older; children age 4 and younger are free.
Is there a washer and dryer in the condo?
Not in the condo itself. There is a laundry room shared by the building that you are welcome to use. We mention it because the amenity list on the booking sites simply says washing machine, and that has read as in-unit to some guests.
Is there air conditioning?
There are portable air conditioning units in specific rooms rather than central air throughout. At this elevation the evenings cool off quickly, and there are ceiling fans as well.
How many people can stay?
Six. That is the maximum on our Truckee permit and we do not book above it. Four of the six sleep upstairs in the queen and the twin bunks, and two in the downstairs queen.
Where do we park?
Your stay includes two parking passes for the Ski Trails Condo lot beside the building. Spaces are unassigned, so you may park in any available space. Parking is limited to two vehicles.
