Wonderful stay!

We had a really nice stay earlier in July with the family. It was right on the golf course and not in a crowded area. Felt very safe.

Classic, cozy ski cabin with excellent location

We are two families with teens who enjoy skiing together. This comfortable 4 bedroom house right on the North Star Shuttle (pick up and drop off on demand to your driveway!) made it easy for us to come and go on different schedules, and the big living room was great for hanging out together apres ski. Yes, the decor is a bit dated, bedding a bit worn but everything very clean, and we would be delighted to stay here again.

Perfect Home at Northstar

This home at Northstar was absolutely the best. Super clean, cozy and plenty of room for our big family. All the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was set up perfectly and had everything we needed. The living room with the huge stone fireplace was our main gathering place. We loved all the space and the big deck. The location can’t be beat as we felt like we were located in the middle of everything from the Northstar Village to the hiking trails to the golf course. Highly recommend.

Great cabin - could use updating

Great Tahoe cabin. Kitchen items could use updating - no cutting board, pan handles falling off, bbque - igniter broken. Dryer - loose connection - need to shake it to work. One shower has limited pressure. A little dark. Had a great time anyway!

Not a great place

Entry was hard. The key is on a long wire in the lockbox and cannot be removed. Couldn't find the garage door opener. Upside down house with long climb up to main floor. Hard to take dog in and out. Left after one night.

Great Time

This cabin was great for a large family vacation! Four bedrooms, three bathrooms with other pull out couches, etc. gave us all the room we needed. One word of warning ... this house isn’t very toddler friendly. Lots of stairs both inside and off the outside deck ... the gate latch to the deck stairs is broken. Fireplace stone right at head high, etc. not really the cabin’s fault ... just so you know if your family has some young toddlers ... we has two.

Nice stay but not sure I'd do it again

The house is a bit tired, but overall very nice, spacious and quiet. We were charged an additional $44 without an explanation. We were told that we would be charged $35 for the lock box that the manager accused us of stomping on or taking a hammer to. Why would any renter do that? Also, there was a bone left that our dog unfortunately found and some take out food containers left on the patio. These are not terrible offenses, but not we expected.

Basic getaway

Excellent area for group stays with activities nearby for all ages. Property is on golf course and house has all the necessities but decor is really dated. We had 6 adult couples but beds good for 4 as other beds are sofa or bunk/twin. Smoke from a forest fire forced us to close windows 1 night so house was too warm. Overall a pleasant family stay.

North Star home

The property is lovely, had plenty of room. Children enjoyed outdoor activities while at the house. The bedrooms were spacious. It is located close to grocery shopping, Resturants, and Lake Tahoe activities. Spent time at Kings Beach and Tahoe City, also took an afternoon ride on the Tahoe Gal.

July Stay with dog

My impression is that the company running the home is unaware of many of its problems and idiosyncrasies in the home owner requirements and benefits. It says it sleeps 10, but it only sleeps 4 comfortably--mattresses are not good, the twin room has a thumping sound that goes on in the middle of the night, the guests on the pull out double found the floor more comfortable as did the one in the bunk room. There were only six chairs in dining room table and they were awkward. There were no liners for garbage, ceiling fan did not work, insufficient dish detergent, and wrong coffee filters. The rec center cost twice as much as posted (and 25% more than I was informed when booking the place though the increase had been made 6 months earlier). The instructions on fridge out of date, key safe was difficult to close. On the plus side, the staff did come by and make adjustments to much of this--bringing a fan, liners, coffee filters etc... Also on the plus side was being able to have our dog there, though I think next time we might leave him home to get a more comfortable stay at those prices.

Cozy Northstar house

Overall the house is as advertised. Maybe no quite as updated as some of the other houses in the area, but very cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a ski trip. Great value and great location. My only issue was the lighting. a lot of the light bulbs are too white rather than a warm light and that could kind of throw off the cozy feel of the cabin.

Only two things, the bed still had dog hairs so good thing I always bring my own sheets. Did not know that we would have to drive to a near location to take the ALL trash out. This should be done by the cleaning crew. Other than that the place was great!

Perfect Place for a Family Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was great for our family Thanksgiving trip. It wasn't too big or small, it was just perfect. There was 9 of us with 2 toddlers and it fit all of us comfortably. We were able to all hang out in the TV room together and still be comfortable. The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Sheri and Kristi were very friendly and extremely quick to respond. Thank you for a great trip!

Nice and quiet area, with gorgeous view

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a large group so it was cozy and nice to spend time together. The kitchen and the dining area, however, are very small. The property’s manager could be nicer and friendlier. I called the day before asking to check in around 3pm instead of 4pm and was told yes. We showed up at 3:15pm and couldn’t get in. Then there was no internet so I had to call her back. Before checking out, I called to make sure where we would put the trash, she sternly scolded “I told you to leave them in the garage “We liked the area but probably won’t be back.

Fine for the Price

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The photos of the house are a bit deceiving; the furniture and carpeting are old and dark, and quilts should be updated. Although the house was in fact clean, it never quite felt that it was. The dishwasher and oven were broken, however the management company provided compensation. The management staff was exceptionally good overall. The location was also very good, so, if you don't plan to spend any time in the house, it was fine for the price.

Not what we were expecting but we made the best out of it.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The photos were very misleading. It makes the place look bigger than it really is. Kitchen area was very small and crowded. Same with all of the areas in the entire house.The fridge was clean but small. Very small freezer. There was a small pantry to put our things. We avoided using the kitchen towels because there were so much pet hair on it. There were also a lot of pet hair on the rug in the living room space. It made it feel like the place was not thoroughly cleaned prior to us coming in. The place was ok overall but really outdated. The chairs in the dining room were so sunken in it was hard for anyone to enjoy their meals at the table due to sinking in and not being able to reach the table. The house has no AC! Why no one has mentioned it in any of their reviews is beyond me. We did not know until right before our trip (which was too late to refund). There is only one fan in the living area. The bedroom next to the living area is so hot from no air flow. Theres only one window which didnt not allow enough cool night air to flow in. Made it difficult to sleep at night. We moved the master bed a little over to the right to fit an airbed next to it so that the kids could room with us. There were a handful of pills that just fell out of the bed and into the carpet (which we disposed of right away). I'm pretty sure that if they check, they'd prob find more under the bed. Glad we found them and not the kids!This place really isnt kid friendly at all. It's hard to entertain the kids while there because there was really nothing there for them to play or be entertained with. The stairs arent really safe for the kids either. We've had a few accidents with the kids stumbling down or sliding down the stairs. The location is nice, not too far from outdoor activites, beaches, or stores. It was really nice to just be able to come in and unlock from a box rather than having to go to another place to pick up a key. The owners were really nice and
