Home Run at Northstar
Northstar
There's a reason they call it Home Run: this Big Springs Northstar retreat lets you clip into your skis right in the backyard and glide down Home Run Trail straight to Highlands Gondola, snow conditions permitting, of course. Come lunchtime or day's end, skip the parking lots, the shuttle lines, and the boot-carrying entirely, and ski right back to your own front door instead. It's the kind of convenience that changes the whole rhythm of a ski trip, giving you more time on the mountain and less time getting to and from it. When you're ready for a change of scenery, it's just a short walk to the shops, restaurants, and ice rink at Northstar Village, or hop the gondola for a quick trip over to the Ritz-Carlton for a drink with a view.
Step inside and the home opens up into a huge, light-filled great room with a truly open floor plan, the kind of space that makes everyone want to gather in one place. Walls of windows pull in tons of natural sunshine and frame gorgeous, sweeping mountain views that change with the light throughout the day. A cozy gas fireplace anchors the room for quiet evenings, while a game table off to the side keeps things lively, whether it's a family tournament or a low-key game night after a big day outside. The whole space feels equally suited to relaxing with a book in the sun or hosting a house full of family and friends.
The large kitchen is every bit as impressive, designed with big groups in mind. Barstool counter seating for 5 makes it easy for guests to pull up a seat and chat while someone cooks, and a separate dining table seating 8 means the whole crew can sit down together for meals without anyone feeling squeezed in. It's a kitchen built for shared mornings before hitting the slopes and long, easy dinners once the day winds down.
With 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 3,594 square feet of thoughtfully laid-out living space, this home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, making it an ideal fit for extended family trips, multi-family getaways, or groups of friends who want plenty of room to spread out while still sharing great communal spaces. The layout of the home itself is thoughtfully designed for multi-generational travel, striking a rare balance between togetherness and privacy. The primary suite sits on one end of the home, complete with its own attached office featuring a Murphy bed, a flexible setup that's perfect for young kids who want to be close to their parents at night, while still giving the grown-ups a true private retreat. Down at the opposite end of the house, the kids take over their own wing entirely, anchored by a fun bunk room suite with its own private balcony and TV, giving the younger crowd a fun, independent space that feels just for them. In between the two ends of the home, a dedicated transition room makes gearing up effortless, stash skis, boots, and gear here before heading straight out the back door to the run, no tracking snow through the house required.
After a full day on the mountain, there's nothing quite like sinking into the small circular hot tub tucked into the backyard, steam rising against the mountain air as the sun starts to set. Or gather everyone back in the great room for a movie night by the fire, game table still out from earlier, everyone still buzzing from a good day outside. Beyond the home itself, guests also enjoy access to the NPOA Recreation Center, which offers pools, hot tubs, a sauna, tennis courts, and more, just a short trip away for those who want even more to do between ski days. A two-car garage adds everyday convenience, and the home's peaceful cul-de-sac setting means quiet, low-traffic surroundings without sacrificing easy access to everything Northstar has to offer.
From the ski-in/ski-out access to the sun-drenched great room, the thoughtful family layout, and the little touches like the game table, bunk room balcony, and backyard hot tub, Home Run at Northstar is designed to make every part of a mountain stay feel easy, comfortable, and genuinely fun — for kids and adults alike.

Beautiful Home!
by GuestThis was a beautiful home to stay in, we’d hike in the back, wake up to Mountain View’s, looked at the stars on the patio, and cooked in the beautiful kitchen. We were about 20-30 mins from King’s Beach and was in reach of a lot activities. We’d definitely recommend and stay again!

Super
by GuestAwesome House for Skiing We had such a wonderful time at this house. Having ski in and ski out made having a ski / work / family vacation so stress free. The house has ample private and shared space and having the hot tub made the experience sublime. We will stay again if we head to NorthStar next year.

Perfect for Large Family
by GuestSki In/Out Can't be Beat
by GuestGreat Home to Host Large Group
by GuestWe held our 21th annual friend’s ski trip. There were 9 guys and we all had our own bed. It’s a great large house with the living area and kitchen area that was easy to support the siZe of our group. Our only complaint is that the hot tub is small (probably 3-4 people max) and is a walk out the back to get into it.
A Great Place for a Large Family
by GuestThis home was large enough and so comfortable to fit the entire family. It was one of the nicest homes I have ever rented and would love to rent it again. Only down part was the drive way and you could see right through the bedroom blinds. Everything else was perfect.
We Loved The Home and Location
by GuestWhat a wonderful stay. We loved the home itself and its location. We will definitely be back!

Coudn't Have Been Better
by GuestAbsolutely loved our stay at Home Run! House was stunning. We had 4 great days of skiing. Loved everything about the home. The hot tub gave us some problems with its size and holding temperature, but other than that our stay could not have been better!
