This was a wonderful property for our multi-generational family summer vacation to Lake Tahoe. The home is well-maintained and fully stocked, which made our 5-night stay very comfortable. We appreciated extra items such as beach chairs and towels, children’s highchair and toys and lots of kitchen appliances. Frank was a great host. Check-in communications were easy to follow, and any questions during the stay were answered very quickly. Frank has a passion for the property and wants his guests to have a great experience when visiting the area; the house guidebook has lots of suggestions for local dining and activities. Having access to the Northstar community recreation center and pool was a real plus, and it is a short walk to the Village shops.

You were great guests and would love to most you and your family anytime.
We want people to love and enjoy the house and experience the manic of Lake Tahoe
The home is really beautiful and comfortable for a large group or family. We so enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen which was stocked with every kind of dish you could ask for. The living room area was comfortable for gathering and visiting, and the garage was very convenient with a large mud room for storing gear. It was so easy to catch the shuttle to the resort. The radiant heat was excellent! Lots to love about this wonderful getaway in Northstar!
Our family spends a week in the Tahoe area each summer. This is a lovely home in a lovely location. We were very comfortable in the bedrooms and living space. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it was well stocked. We would highly recommend this property.
This was a perfect home for our crew! We housed 2 couples, 3 teenagers and 2, 12-year old boys comfortably.The house was stocked with all of the cooking tools we needed and was within walking distance to the Northstar village. The owner is kind and accessible. He was quick to answer any questions we had about the property. We felt very comfortable in this beautiful home. I would go back in a heartbeat. It was a wonderful vacation!
The property was great. Separate wings to keep privacy, and great family room for gathering and eating together. The house has undergone a remodel, and looks like they are still finishing up some minor details (missing cabinet knobs, faceplate switches) but it did not affect our stay. The location is walking distance to northstar, or you can take the shuttle. Great house and we plan to stay here again.

Francisco,
Thank you for your feedback. Your family were great guests and we would love to have you. Yes, the bathroom cabinet pulls were on back order and just arrived and I installed them today.
Thanks - Frank
This place suited our party of 9 perfectly. We had 7 adults and 2 kids. It was the perfect amount of space to relax and settle in for our 4 night stay. The kitchen and main living space was the perfect size for meals amd whatnot. There were two sinks and dishwashers in the kitchen which was needed and helpful for our group. Jacuzzi was great but fit about 4 comfortably at a time. The shuttle to the village to ski worked well. About a 10 to 15 minute wait when we called it. The entry way at the garage was great to for unloading ski gear. We recommend this for a northstar ski trip.

Nicole we are so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. We welcome you back anytime
This place is awesome.House: 5 bedrooms. 2 very large bedrooms upstairs with ensuite bathrooms. 1 additional small bedroom upstairs with crib and twin bed (perfect for us with a toddler). Middle floor is large open common space/kitchen/bathroom/dinning room/bar/mudroom/laundry. Bottom floor is 2 additional bedrooms (smaller but both reasonable with a shared bathroom. There is also a couch that pulls out into the common room downstairs. Fireplace in common room on main level and downstairs. 2 car garage (we used as we got a fair amount of snow). Hot tub fits 5 people. Directly off common room downstairs. Worked great.Skiing - Village/ski lift is a shuttle ride away. Shuttle is requested on your phone app. Usually available with 10-15 min. Once we had a 45 min wait during peak time and we had my father in law drop us for skiing. Kitchen - Awesome. Everything you might need plus some. We like to cook so very much enjoyed this. Large grill on porch. I did use this and it was adequate.Fitness Center - you do have access. Looks nice but was closed on New Years day when we tried to go. Host - very responsive. Overall great experience. Very nice home. Would recommend.
