Incredible stay and great host

My family and I stayed at Laura’s cabin this last weekend and had an incredible stay. The house is big enough to really sprawl out in, especially with the kids! We loved that we were right on the Northstar shuttle line, that was very convenient. Laura was incredibly supportive and communicative throughout our entire stay. 5/5 would highly recommend!

Wonderful mountain getaway

We had a fabulous time at this beautiful home. Laura was wonderful and made us feel so welcome. The home had everything we could have ever wanted and the proximity to skiing at Northstar was great with the shuttle picking up right at the house. The setting is so picturesque. We can’t wait to return!

Great winter stay!

We were two families of 4 with 4 teenagers and it was a great fit for us. Everything was as described and instructions were very clear. The large hot tub was a great perk after a day of skiing. We had a minor issue but it was addressed immediately. Laura really cares about her guests enjoying her lovely home.

Perfect house for Northstar

We stayed at this house during ski season with another family, so there were 4 adults and 5 kids. It had plenty of space for the kids to run around and was easy to get to. Being able to get shuttled to and from the village makes it so easy to get up the mountain with all the kids. It’s a beautiful house with comfortable beds and a really nice great room to hand out in. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic Stay!

Our family of 4 (including 2 teens) had a wonderful stay at Laura's home in Northstar! The house is well appointed, amazingly stocked and very clean. The house backs to the forest - lovely! Just a quick walk up the hill connects you with the very extensive Northstar hiking trail network - fantastic! Laura was wonderful to work with. Quick to answer questions and provide local recommendations. We can't wait to rent her home again!

Short Weekend at Tahoe/Truckee

This property was perfectly located between Truckee and Tahoe (just a quick 15-20 min drive to both). The property is gorgeous, clean and perfect for groups. Check in and check out instructions were long but were more geared toward longer stays than a quick weekend. The owner was really easy to work with and communicative. Check out and in was easy. I would 100% recommend to a friend.

Beyond expectations

Our experience renting this house went beyond expectations. It has everything you need and much more. Hot tub, backyard sledding (sleds included) free shuttle to/from Northstar, enough beds and seating for our extended family (11 of us!). Check in and check out were easy and detailed instructions for hot tub, fireplace etc. made everything super clear. Laura was an amazing host, extremely responsive and was available by text. I highly recommend this rental home and hope to stay again in the future!

Perfect for Northstar

We really enjoyed our stay at this amazing place. The house is perfectly situated 5 minutes from Northstar Ski Resort and has a convenient "on demand" shuttle to bring you to and from the slopes. My friends and I took full advantage of the back porch hot tub and the built-in sauna room. This house had any and every amenity that you could desire and Laura was a very responsive owner throughout the entire trip. This place comfortably sleeps 10 people and is big enough that you never feel crowded. I would rate this as one of the best ski weekend rentals I've ever stayed in. Highly recommend.

Thank you very much for the kind words, Robert! So glad to hear you and your party enjoyed the home and your stay. Also, thank you for taking good care of the home. We look forward to hosting you again in the future. Laura P.S. A small point of clarification regarding location names: Our house is actually located in Northstar Resort and is just minutes to/from the Village of Northstar via the free Northstar "on demand" shuttle. Northstar Resort includes the Village at Northstar plus a collection of homes and condos around it (of which our house is one). In the Village at Northstar you access the Northstar lifts and gondola, ski/snowboard school and equipment rentals, ice rink, restaurants, theater, spa, bars, Starbucks, pottery/candle making store, shops and more. While the nomenclature can be a bit confusing, just know it's a terrific location and the free shuttle is wonderful!

Great family vacation home - must return!

We had a fantastic experience staying at this Northstar resort cabin. The house is very spacious, even better than the pictures, and felt very much like home to us. We were two families with young kids and had plenty of space to spread out with the layout. The hot tub was wonderful, and the kitchen was fully stocked. Loved coffee provided every morning. No issues whatsoever and lots of documentation so we knew everything in advance. They have a great brand new deck & staircase out front - beautiful! The shuttle is also such a great perk. We had a great time and hope to be back again soon!

Great house, great owners

We just spent a lovely weekend in this house. The house is very well stocked, it had everything we needed and more. The owners are truly fantastic. They provided a lot of information and were super responsive to any questions we had - they genuinely want guests to have the best experience possible. The house was perfect for two families. It backs up to a giant hillside that our kids spent hours playing on while we could watch them from the kitchen window, deck and hot tub. And having the Northstar shuttle pick us up on our own driveway was a game-changer for making the ski day more fun. We will stay there again!

Immaculate home, great location

This property is extremely well maintained and clean, with a beautiful great room anchored by a fireplace. The kitchen was very functional and my daughter mostly stayed in to cook. Though the layout is a bit funky, it created no challenges for us. The on-demand shuttle to the mountain allowed us to focus on skiing and not parking. The only thing we missed was bringing our doggies along. We would recommend this home to any family looking for a great location in a well maintained home, but is primarily focused on getting to the mountain the morning, and then relaxing in front of the fire in the late afternoon.

Perfect Family Stay

This house had everything we needed to make this a wonderful, multi-generational holiday stay. The layout of this house was really perfect for us: many levels and large spaces. The kitchen was very well-stocked (as was the rest of the house) so we were able to make many meals at home. Our kids had fun sledding on the sleds supplied. The hot tub was so nice after being in the snow all day. The access to the shuttle was a super bonus! It picked us up right at the bottom of the driveway! So nice to not have to deal with driving and parking!Laura was wonderful in her communications with us. I would definitely recommend this house to others for a great stay at Northstar!

BEST EVER

This fabulous home has it all! It is spacious, comfortable, clean, and is by far e most well appointed and well thought out vacation space we have ever stayed in! I love this host’s attention to detail with lists of what is available (like a blender and sleds in the garage for snow play) so one can pack and plan meals and activities appropriately. We enjoyed watching it snow while sitting in front of the fire, sledded down the hill in the backyard, took the shuttle to ski at Northstar, and relaxed in the hot tub underneath the stars. Our host was responsive, and helpful in every way. Each member of our party, from age 3 to 60 had a fabulous time!

Northstar Mountain Home

Maybe the best VRBO experience we have had. Communication and response from Laura, the owner was always spot on quick and helpful. Home was super comfortable, well appointed and perfect for our family of 5, with room to spare. It was very clean, well organized and stocked with instructions for everything. Not over the top luxury but just a perfect mountain home. Home is on a few levels and there is a flight of stairs to get to the front door. Not an issue for us but suppose it could be for others. Hot tub, sauna and foosball for relaxing and fun. Great internet, fire and TV for gathering in the main living area. Shuttle comes right to the driveway and is a 10 minute ride to the Northstar base. Everything you could possibly want for a stay in the mountains.

Cozy retreat with great amenities

Stayed in Feb 2022 with a party of 11 (6 adults, 5 kids under 11). Loved the hot tub, sauna, cozy living room, sledding out the back door with the provided sleds.

Wonderful place to rest following evacuation from CALDOR fire

Following my family's evacuation due to CALDOR fire, Laura offered to allow us to stay at her property for free. She and her family were so generous and so kind to us. This was the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed in. It is a beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood in Truckee, CA. I highly recommend this property.
