When the Northstar Club was completed in 2000, its memberships sold out nearly immediately. It has provided its members with memorable vacation experiences, excellent service, and luxury accommodation for year-round getaways ever since. Each year, a limited number of resale opportunities become available and represent the very best value for ski-in, slope-side luxury residences at the Northstar California™ resort.
Members at the Northstar Club are ensured a full four weeks in the Tahoe mountains, as well as additional time whenever there is space available. Enjoy two weeks skiing and riding in the winter, and two weeks biking and hiking in the summer. For information on current membership availability, please provide your contact information, and let us know if you prefer to own a 3-bedroom or 4-bedroom unit.
The Northstar Club is a member-owned enclave of luxury condominiums located within the Northstar California™ resort. Northstar Club Members have full access to the entire Village at Northstar™.
The Northstar Club has been designed to provide more conveniences, services and amenities than those of a stand-alone vacation home; to provide owners with generous and flexible vacation use; to remove the headaches typically associated with second-home ownership; and to significantly reduce the financial burden through common ownership of the private residences.
No. Timeshare is typically the ownership of (or right to use) a specific week and is limited to lodging in a specific residence.

With only seven owners per residence, Northstar Club members have abundant and flexible use of their Club facilities.
