Eagle's Nest at Northstar Truckee Vacation Rental
About the Home
The Eagle's Nest is an upscale, professionally decorated Big Springs home with 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and a private outdoor hot tub. Ideal for a gathering of friends and family, with soaring cathedral ceilings throughout, a giant wood burning fireplace fashioned from huge granite stones, a baby grand piano, a pool table and light streaming in through abundant windows. You will be greeted by beautiful slate floors, original oil paintings, wool rugs and fine leather furniture in the common areas. Enjoy the silence and comfort of hydronic radiant heating throughout plus high speed cable internet wi-fi. If you're visiting in the Summer, you'll enjoy the central air conditioning, a very rare feature in this region. Tahoe and Alpine artwork complement the mountain style architecture. The chef’s kitchen features granite countertops, a Viking 6-burner cooktop, stainless steel fridge, freezer, microwave oven, Dakor conventional oven and convection oven (new for 2019), dual sinks, Belgian waffle maker, slow cooker, hand mixer, blender, toaster, toaster oven and all the pots, pans and cooking utensils you could possibly need. 3 coffee makers help you get just what you want in the morning: Keurig maker, traditional Cuisinart coffee maker, and a Nespresso machine. The great room has a 65 inch 4k UHD OLED TV with DVD with DirecTV, AppleTV and theater sound. Elsewhere on the main floor, a billiards table is accompanied by a wet bar. An alcove has its own gas fireplace, a baby grand piano and a laser printer/photo copier/fax machine. The dining room table seats 12 and the breakfast bar seats an additional 6. Upstairs is a common area with couch that folds into a very comfortable queen sized bed (no really, it's amazing and not your typical terrible sofa bed) and a 40 inch LCD TV that can be used for watching DVDs or playing video games (if you bring your own console). A laundry room offers high end, large capacity Kenmore Elite washer and dryer. The garage has room for 2 cars, a 240V receptacle for your electric vehicle. Off the garage you’ll find the mudroom is perfect for storing coats, boots and the like for your group. On the stone patio, enjoy the private hot tub—which seats 4 adults—and barbecue using the huge stainless steel Weber gas grill, plus firewood you are free to use. Bedrooms each have their own private bathroom en suite and feature European goose down pillows, top quality mattresses, high thread count bedding, bathrobes and Turkish cotton towels to make you comfortable (in case you are allergic to down pillows, we also have 2 pairs of hypoallergenic non-down pillows in closets). The master suite features a king bed, gas fireplace, balcony, jetted spa tub and standing shower. The 2nd bedroom features a queen bed and private bathroom. The 3rd bedroom has a king bed and private bathroom. The 4th bedroom has 3 bunk beds (to sleep 6) plus a bathroom. The 5th bedroom has a queen bed and private bathroom with blackout shades on all windows. The upstairs common area has a queen sized sleeper sofa that is remarkably comfortable and firm and 89 inches in length--not your usual flimsy, terrible fold out couch where your feet hang off the end. 3 bathrooms have hair dryers. Situated on half of an acre on a private cul-de-sac in the prestigious Big Springs neighborhood above the Village, Eagles Nest is a 10-minute walk (or a 1-minute drive) to the Timberline chair lift. The property features a grass backyard and natural forest and backs up to the Tompkins Memorial hiking trail. The Northstar shuttle service will pick up your group at the end of the driveway—just call and the shuttle usually arrives within minutes—and take you to the Village or recreation center for free. The rec center—available to guests for just $5 per visit—offers multiple swimming pools, a huge hot tub, a gym and, in the summer, tennis courts. The Northstar Village offers several great restaurants and bars, an ice-skating / roller-skating rink, a movie theater, a Starbucks and plenty of shopping. From The Eagles Nest, you may walk / hike down to the Village in less than 10 minutes on hiking paths and a natural stone stairway maintained by Northstar (though the path is not suitable for the frail or elderly nor when snow is on the ground).
