Northstar Lodge, located at the base of the world-renowned Northstar California ski area in Truckee, California, is a ski-in/ski-out resort, complete with its own unique, pulse-driven gondola. Featuring exclusive exteriors with native materials for a naturally weathered appearance, while luxuriously warm appointments set the mood within creating a high-alpine sensibility. The Village at Northstar offers great dining options from casual fast to sit down and savor. Try Mikuni Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Rubicon Pizza Company, or Manzanita at The Ritz Carlton for starters.

Our snow chains broke right outside the lodge, and Javier and Thomas came out and spent two hours (including jacking up our car and removing a tire) helping us remove them, fix them, and get them back on. They were incredibly helpful, friendly and kind, and the manager of the lodge was okay with my family waiting inside as we had two small kids with us. All the staff were very welcoming and supportive, and I fully intend to stay at this lodge next time we got to Tahoe.

What a beautiful setting the minute you pull in. We stayed in a 3 bed/3 bath unit. It was absolutely beautiful and very rustic. The unit was very clean and offered all the amenities of home with a fully stocked kitchen to make whatever food you bring along. The Viking appliances were easy to use. It’s a cute little village offering groceries, restaurants and coffee shops. It was very sparse for this time of year. I’m sure winter offers a vibrant setting.

We just stayed here and absolutely loved it! We made a last minute reservation after our Airbnb fell through and this was our first Hyatt Vacation Club rental but we are now hooked! The rooms are spacious and beautiful and include a full kitchen and ours also had a washer and dryer - definitely a comfortable place for longer stays. The patio had a beautiful view and fireplace which was the perfect spot for morning coffee and a nightly glass of wine. It’s not on the water but has a full fitness room, pool and several hot tubs onsite. The staff was so nice and friendly and even recommended a local hike (Memorial Trail) which was beautiful. The location is secluded and quiet (just a short drive to King’s Beach or Truckee) and Northstar Village has some nice local restaurants to enjoy (CoffeeBar is a must!). Highly recommend!

Didn't make it to this desired location. Was at a concert at Chase Center in San Francisco and there was a kiosk with a friendly representative for this 3 night /4 day premium hotel offer at Hyatt Vacation Club at Northstar lodge for only $200. I asked many questions and specifically, if this was all inclusive - no other fees. She said yes, you just have to make $100k+ /year and attend a 2 hour timeshare presentation. Well, I called to make reservations and the customer service agent said the location only has two or three studio units reserved just for this program.... and if I paid a $250 more, I could have a fully appointed room that is more comfortable and in cloase proximity to the restaurants and services...seriously?! I reiterated the kiosk employee's statement of "no additional charges" and he said that is not possible. I forfeited my $200 and hung up. Hyatt Vacation Club is a dishonest scam. Do not waste your time and money on this timeshare company.

We were driving through on a roadtrip, and this place was so comfortable we decided to stay for an extra night. The resort village is quiet in the summer, but it was fine for our family. We ordered pizza, enjoyed the pool and game room, and spent time in Lake Tahoe. We had a two bedroom condo, and it was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Highly recommend.
