About this apartment rental

Summary:
This Penthouse Residence is located on the private top floor of The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe.

The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe is the first and only AAA Five Diamond mountain hotel in California. Located mid-mountain at Northstar.

The Space:
This Penthouse Residence is located on the private top floor of The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe.

The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe is the first and only AAA Five Diamond mountain hotel in California. Located mid-mountain at Northstar and offering unparalleled luxury, service and convenience during all four seasons, this is a property for those that desire the ultimate getaway or family vacation.

The hotel, built in 2009, features beautiful architecture throughout. Amenities include a 17,000 square foot spa/fitness center, exceptional dining options at Manzanita and the Backyard BBQ, a wonderful children's program, and much more. Located steps away is a seasonal gondola that takes you to the Village at Northstar that features a 9,000 square foot ice skating rink during winter (roller skating during summer), and a variety of dining, entertainment and shopping options.

During the winter season, experience the convenience of ski-in/ski-out luxury in the middle of the mountain at Northstar. Your boots will be waiting for you at the ski concierge, with your ski’s and poles placed for you on the snow so that you can ski directly onto the mountain in moments.

During the summer months, Northstar and the Lake Tahoe area serve as an incredible outdoor family playground. Hike right out the backdoor, or take a 15-minute drive to the Lake where opportunities abound. Two championship golf courses are a short drive away.

The Neighborhood:
We've been lucky enough to travel extensively, and we couldn't find another place anywhere that had the combination of incredible mid-mountain location, luxury, convenience, spa/fitness facilities, dining, service and more.

Getting Around:
You can enjoy a relaxing family breakfast in the residence in the morning, ski through lunch during the winter or bike during the summer, enjoy a bite to eat at the the Backyard BBQ, enjoy spa time in the afternoon, take the gondola to the village for some ice skating (roller skating during the summer) or shopping, enjoy delicious complementary marshmallows and s'mores, have your kids time in the game room while you have a drink in the lobby bar, and spend the evening playing games or watching a movie together in the residence ... all without ever getting in a car.

This penthouse was worth much more that the cost. It was an exceptional place, and my family really enjoyed it. I will encourage everyone who wants a once-in-a-lifetime experience to visit this penthouse. It is worth the money. The host, Aaron was phenomenal.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2025
Decided to go there last minute and host Aaron was very responsive and accommodating. Place was spotless and it’s a very easy access to ski. Great atmosphere at the hotel. Nothing to complain about. Aaron also checked with me several times and asked if there is anything needed. He is a great host
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2025
My family and I could not be more thrilled with this property. The location and resort itself are truly second to none. The private residence on-property is the absolute perfect option for a family (or friend group) that desires all the amenities of a world-class brand like the Ritz-Carlton with the added bonus of privacy when desired. The property owner (Aaron) is incredibly responsive and constantly in communication to ensure a terrific visit. We've used VRBO properties consistently, including several in the Lake Tahoe area. This listing is truly A. Many, many thanks to Aaron and the incredible staff at the Ritz.

Our family likes this Ritz property because of it’s fantastic mountain location but we now love this property because of unit 609 and it’s owner. Everything is in great shape and Aaron makes sure you feel like you are in a home - not a rental. The property came fully-stocked with many basics (like coffee and all the fixins’ for s’mores), is well-kept, has charging stations everywhere (to handle any groups’ needs) and when we did have a minor problem, Aaron was incredibly responsive - solving the problem with distinction. Thank you Aaron for a wonderful break! We will definitely be back!
