Northstar California Resort - Truckee, California

I recently stayed at the Hyatt Vacation Club Northstar Lodge, and it was an incredible experience! The multi-bedroom villas are spacious, beautifully designed, and perfect for a family or group getaway. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of a beautiful area with stunning mountain views. There’s a charming shopping center nearby, full of cute shops and great places to grab a bite to eat. It really adds to the overall ambiance of the area.

The only minor downside was the parking situation. It can be a bit tight and limited at times, but it’s a small inconvenience compared to everything else this place offers. Overall, I highly recommend Northstar Lodge for anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing vacation spot in a picturesque setting!

We went during Thanksgiving break. There were a lot of people skiing/snowboarding, and apparently many tend to prefer harder slopes so there shouldn't be too many people at the bunny hills if you visit(unless there are too many people in general)

The skiing view is kind of amazing. You can see a lot from on top of the mountain and it snows occasionally, has nice winter scenery

However don't expect the cheapest prices here. The oatmilk lavender latte at Copper Lane Cafe costs almost $7 for example, and one jacket at The North Face costs $190. If you buy all your ski equipment here expect to pay quite a bit

We stay here during the summer for just under a week. It is a very nice location and overall a nice place to stay. The resort has a nice pool area and a couple of other spa locations, an activity room for the kids, and a lodge area with a ping pong table and foosball table. There is a small "village" area with a few shops, restaurants, a roller rink, and they even used to have a putt putt course (that seems to be gone now). Unfortunately, likely due to the significantly lower occupancy compared to winter/ski season, most places are closed. Rubicon pizza in the village is decent and a nice ambience in the summer evening. The rooms are stocked with the basics, so any gourmet chefs needing specific cookware may need to bring their own items. The rooms have gas fire places which are nice. The service is always pleasant and accommodating. There is a parking garage underneath the facility which has not posed any problems for us. The location is also great. Tahoe is only 15 minutes away, and the scenery all around is great. We even took a half day trip to bring the kids to Circus Circus in Reno. So if you're looking for a quiet, nice place to stay during the summer, you can consider this place worth it.

I just had an amazing time at North Star Bike Park! The trails are perfect, with something for every skill level, and the views are just breathtaking. The staff were super friendly and really helpful, making the whole experience even better. The lift system was quick and efficient, so we got in a ton of riding. If you love mountain biking, you’ve got to check this place out. I can’t wait to go back! It’s truly the Disneyland of mountain biking!

Great venue for summer and winter activities. Best mountain bike park in the state. Modern and well maintained facilities and lifts. Great restaurant options. Close walking distance to surrounding communities. Free parking and convenient shuttles.

Went to the mountain for some downhill mtb, was not disappointed. Took a skills course to familiarize myself with the mountain, and even picked up some pointers on technique. Great mountain, good instructors, super fun. End of the season so as expected some of the trails were a little beat up, loose dust and rocks on berms, but well designed and maintains.

Went for the mountain bike park and it was awesome! Great trails and crazy features. A little expensive in my option as only a portion of the trails were open but it was an awesome experience and I will be back next time I'm in the area. Highly recommend

El bike park me decepcionó un poco. He estado en muchos bikeparks, por todo el mundo. Este ha sido el más caro y el más descuidado. Los circuitos necesitan más mantenimientos, más trabajo. Hay sitios peligrosos, a pesar de ser un deporte peligroso. Los precios me parecieron desorbitados, de otro planeta, ni whistler, ni morzine, les gets... Son tan caros.

El personal es muy amable.

Les recomiendo ir con una bicicleta de enduro. Las de descenso no son rápidas, tiene muy poca pendiente la montaña.
