Thank you so much, we hope to host you again in the near future!
Really well maintained property with everything you need for a great trip with friends and family. We were 3 adults, a dog, and 2 young kids. We cooked meals, did puzzles, played in the snow right outside the condo, and used the shuttle for skiing. And never once needed to worry about anything at the property and had great communication with the hosts. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Thank you for your kind review EJ, we really appreciate it!
Everything about our summer stay was perfect for our family of 5 dog at the this amazing place! If I could change one thing it would be either to have a/c or a whole house fan to help cool the place. In their defense they did disclose how to be comfortable and that the place had no a/c.

Thank you for your feedback Jennifer, we appreciate it and yes most homes in Tahoe do not have a/c.
This cabin was nicely appointed with kitchen supplies and spices and things that just make the trip so much easier. It is at the very bottom corner of a lot of stairs so it’s a bit of a sheep up and down to get to it but we had a great time

Basic but adequate.
Property was pretty basic but adequate. A bit outdated.
Very comfortable and easy access to Northstar Village
We enjoyed a mid-week ski trip to Northstar and this condo worked out very well for my family. The kitchen is one of the most well equipped rental kitchens I have encountered in terms of quality and quantity of dishware, pots and pans, etc. Rental agency was very responsive to our couple of questions. Furnishings could use a bit of updating, but are all in excellent condition and very comfortable. Excellent quality towels and linens. Location is great -- easy walk to the village and shuttle bus system is very prompt. Do agree with previous posters that the walk from the parking lot in icy conditions would be tricky but otherwise it is not a problem at all. Nice view from the living room area and deck. We would stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay. Great location near Northstar Village. Nothing fancy but a good value and nice.
We spent 4 days here between Xmas and New year and would come back. Condo was spacious for our family of 4. Nothing fancy but all very clean, functional and nice.
Location is good near N’star Village, ski lifts and fitness center. Free N’star shuttle makes it easy to get around. Easy drive into Truckee and within 30 minutes of Squaw and other mountains if you want to try something outside of N’star.
Small complaints to be aware of ...
Condo is down a long path that can be icy and hard to navigate with luggage.
Heater downstairs was a little tricky and required for all bedrooms to have doors open to regulate heat.
Fitness center is fine for a workout but the pool and hot-tub are not worth it in the winter.
Overall, we would come back.

great location and well stocked condo for family
Good location to North Star village and ski area. Easy shuttle pick up and drop off. The condo was perfect for two small families (4 adults, 4 children). It was stocked well with kitchen supplies (plates, pots, pans, flatware, etc) that allowed us to cook and eat in. Clean and comfortable with plenty of linens. Working fire place, good washer and dryer and comfortable pillows. Long walk down steps from parking lot and be aware it is a 3 story condo if you have any personal limitations.

Great condo, very well appointed in kitchen!
This was a wonderful condo. The kitchen was well supplied. We enjoyed watching a movie or two on VHS and telling our kids about a VCR! It's quite a few steps to the condo from the parking lot, but doable. The shuttle to Northstar is at the end of the parking lot. It was very convenient!
