The Home
Skidder Trail Family Lodge offers the perfect combination of comfort, space, and privacy for year-round family getaways. Located on the 18th fairway of the prestigious Northstar Resort community, this beautifully crafted home features breathtaking views from nearly every room. Whether you're gathering around the grand stone hearth in the living room, watching your favorite show on the 65" Smart TV, or enjoying a meal in the sunny dining area, you'll feel right at home. The fully equipped kitchen, with its open layout, makes cooking and entertaining a breeze, while a charming wet bar and gas stove fireplace add warmth and ambiance. For quiet moments, retreat to the cozy den with a queen sofa sleeper, or relax in one of the two spacious master suites, each with its own ensuite bathroom and private deck.
With ample space for up to 12 guests, Skidder Trail Family Lodge is perfect for family and friends to gather and enjoy Northstar's world-class amenities. Outside, three decks offer plenty of room to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings.
