Welcome to Northstar Haven by AvantStay – your cozy-chic mountain escape nestled in the towering pines of Truckee.
Steps from world-class skiing, serene hiking trails, and the charm of downtown Truckee, Northstar Haven is where rustic elegance meets group-friendly comfort. Set on a quiet wooded lot near Northstar Resort and Lake Tahoe, this three-level retreat invites you to gather, unwind, and soak up the alpine magic in every season.
Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings, lodgepole pine walls, and a dramatic wall of windows frame the forest views, flooding the living space with natural light. The sunken great room is built for togetherness, featuring a river rock fireplace, plush seating for movie nights, and warm, inviting textures throughout.
The open-concept kitchen is fully equipped for home-cooked meals (or takeout spreads), with stone flooring, bar seating, and a spacious dining area to fit the whole crew. On the deck, enjoy al fresco breakfasts or starlit après-ski drinks with a backdrop of whispering pines.
Multiple lounge spaces, cozy bedrooms, and thoughtful amenities like a wine fridge and dedicated bar area make it easy to share the home with extended family or friends—without sacrificing comfort or quiet moments.
Whether you're carving fresh powder at Northstar, paddling Lake Tahoe, or simply enjoying a board game by the fire, Northstar Haven is your basecamp for connection, adventure, and memory-making in the Sierra Nevada.
AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!
Situated in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake's cobalt blue water. Whether you're looking for a day in the mountains or a cruise on the lake, you can have it all in Tahoe.
Local Attractions: Homewood Ski Resort, Palisades Tahoe, Eagle Falls Trail (hiking), Eagle Rock (hiking and lookout point), Emerald Bay, Sugar Pine Point State Park (Nordic events of 1960 Winter Olympics), Inspiration Point Vista, Chambers Landing Bar & Grill (American), Meeks Bay Marina and Beach, Tahoma Market, and the Rubicon (world-famous 4x4 trail).
