Hyatt Vacation Club at Northstar Lodge, Lake Tahoe

Set right at Northstar in Truckee, this lodge sits ski-in/ski-out to Northstar-at-Tahoe and a short ride from Sand Harbor, Brockway Summit and Ponderosa Golf Course. The property is about 8 km from Truckee’s center, framed by Sierra Nevada scenery.

Mountain-chic condos with fireplaces, flat-screen TVs and DVD players give a cozy, modern vibe. Suites include conveniences like microwaves and in-room safes, and many rooms connect you straight to the slopes with ski-to-door access.

You’ll find an outdoor pool, a spa tub and a sauna for post-run relaxation, plus a fitness center and ski storage. Kids get a playroom, there’s a BBQ area for casual nights, and concierge service, an on-site ATM and self-parking keep things easy. Wake up to crisp mountain mornings and hit the gondola.

Complimentary wireless internet, a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and an elevator make short-stay logistics smooth for work or meetings on the move.

An on-site restaurant serves local flavors while the barbecue area offers a relaxed option for groups and families. Sip something warm after a day on the slopes and taste regional Sierra cuisine.
