This is the worst club we’ve ever joined. We joined for our 4 kids to enjoy summer as a local Tahoe family. They charge a massive initiation fee, then you get to pay for a summer membership of over 1k for the months they’re not even running the pool at 100%. Again today on a sunny day they’re not running the pool for kids. Absolutely the worst investment we’ve ever made for our kids. We could stay at a local hotel and play at the pool with a slide for the same price for a week. On a different note, the staff at the pool and front desk are very kind so don’t take the upper managements issues out on them.

Been members in Truckee at the cabins for a long time and went on 02/25.2024 and encountered probably the rudest bartender I’ve ever met and I live in reno. Don’t know her name because she wouldn’t tell us but wears a bull ring with tattoos all over both arms. Really makes the place look terrible when you have a person that ruins what a great place North Star is. Other families made comments about her too and they didn’t even get served by her. Hope you guys can do better or at least pay attention to hiring people that like their job.

Great, caring staff, amazing atmosphere, good food and awesome pools!! Reserve your pool time slot in advance. However, we called an hour before and they got us right in. All in all, well worth the membership!!
