Great ski week cabin!

We stayed with 4 adults and 4 kids and the space was great for this! We especially loved the en suite bathrooms for the two king bed rooms. The kids loved the basketball game room area and the kitchen had all the amenities we needed. My only advice is to bring bedding for the loft area if you plan to use that as a bed space. Thank you for a great stay!

SKI TRIP

Property says it sleeps 12, unfortunately, part of our family ended up not being able to stay, but it was perfect for 8. Would have been crowded for 10 or more. Not enough seats/chairs or seating room for more than 7 to eat at the table, nor is there enough silverware.

Post New Year Ski week

We're a ski family so location was perfect, shuttles were great. A few issues with the property, only mentioning in hopes of saving someone the trouble. The hot tub was near impossible to access due to snow pile up on the deck. We couldn't remove the snow because it became hard packed. I think the snow melt on the deck entered the house as the carpet was soaked at the doorway. I did text the management contact but never received a reply. We wanted to use the blow up mattress in the loft but our daughter found the mattress flat after an hour or so and had to continue blowing it up throughout the night (she was not a happy camper). We found a total of about 10 hangers in the house and that just didn't cut it with ski gear. One bedroom downstairs didn't have a dresser or a single hanger. Otherwise happy with our choice but do hope the owners remove or fix the air mattress and supply more clothes hangers.

Quiet, beautiful and just the right size for 8 adults!

We spent quite a bit of time in the cabin because it was 4 cousins and their spouses catching up from not seeing each other for a long time and because it was really cold outside. It was very comfortable and we loved the hot tub. It would have been nice to have a blow dryer or two and to have a few more supplies in the kitchen, but it was great!

Poorly Managed Property

We wanted to love this gorgeous property. While the house itself was beautiful, the property is managed so poorly that we faced issue after issue. First off, they failed to send the arrival email instructions. And just as others said, the wrong door code was provided. Then we discovered that there was already a broken microwave. Management was aware of it but did not provide a temporary one or fix it in time. This makes it challenging to reheat food quickly for 9 people. Next up...we discovered that the dryer was broken, leaving us with no dry towels and a heap of wet laundry. Part of the carpet on the stairs was coming off and an exposed nail in stairs pierced my daughter's foot. This is a liability. Carpet should have been fixed. There were several holes in the window/door screens that had not been fixed. Some had big swatches of blue painters tape covering the hole. If that wasn't enough, the HVAC system was making an extremely loud clanging noise as loud as a lawn mower and was keeping the family up at night. I contacted management about the various issues and they just told me "life happens." For a "luxury" home, we expected it to be in much better shape and were especially disappointed by the poor response and lack of accountability. They never followed up to resolve any of the issues.

Very nice house

We were very happy with the size of the house, its condition, and the location. We had a wonderful time. One ever so slight downside: the house faces the late afternoon sun in early July and gets very warm, making the early sleeping hours a bit uncomfortable, especially in the master suite. Ceiling fans and shades on the upper windows in the main living area would help. But, again, a very nice house that easily accommodated our large extended family in style and comfort.

Spring Skiing

Great house, awesome location for a Ski trip. Shuttle runs directly to the door and drops at the Ski Village. Overall, the house has great space for a family or group, was clean and excellent location. Pros: Multiple living spaces (kids/teens and adults have plenty of space), nice layout, tall vaulted ceilings, big windows with views of the forest, easy access to slopes, clean, property manager very responsive and helpful, quiet neighborhood with great space between properties Cons: While no issues were large enough to affect my rating, the property had many minor issues in need of repair and finishes that seemed a bit sloppy for this level of home. Examples: bathroom sink was clogged upon arrival, front door code didn't work....property manager was available immediately to let us in but also let us know this happened to the last few renters (why not fixed?) so had to leave side door unlocked all weekend, hot tub cover didn't have lift arm and difficult to deal with in the snow (and being torn up due to this), kitchen garbage can broken, main level TV cords all out everywhere, internet modem on kitchen counter with cords in way near sink area. Again, great property and we would go back but for this price point, needing to be kept up and "finished" with a better attention on the details.

Excellent Experience

From the simplicity of the check-in to the shuttle that you access from an app and is actually there in less than 10 minutes, this experience surpassed our expectations in every way. We cooked meals for 10 each night on the stove, played games and watched movies. There are plenty of dishes, silverware and cooks tools. I will note that while there are plenty of pots and pans, if you need a special pan for a dish you want to make, you should bring that with you. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay near Northstar with easy access to the slopes, you cannot go wrong with this location.

Great Ski House at NorthStar

This is a wonderful house for our extended family. The master bedroom on the first floor was perfect for my wife and myself. The downstairs was a great set up for my son and his family as well as my adult daughter. We had a joyous Christmas week and enjoyed the easy access to skiing provided by the NorthStar shuttle. We liked everything about the house and the property management company. Our only disappointment was the lack of mixing bowls, casserole dishes, potato peeler, serving dishes, etc. My wife and my son love to cook, so we had to change our menus and buy some things because of the missing items.

Beautiful mountain home

This is a truly beautiful home and we enjoyed our stay here greatly. There's plenty of room for a lot of people to enjoy the space without feeling as if you are on top of one another. The kitchen is very large and was a pleasure to cook in and had all the needed utensils and tools. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and the bathrooms were large. The house was very clean, everything worked great and we had no issues during our week long stay. We did use the rec center, the free shuttle to and from was a huge bonus. Just an FYI to future guests there is a $5 fee per person, payable only in cash, to use the rec center, this includes the pool. Also bring towels with you to the pool, or you will be paying the $1 rental per towel fee. The house is located about 20 minutes from the shores of Lake Tahoe, lots of restaurants and bars are available in that area. We enjoyed our stay here very much, and would definitely love to return in the future!
