The property is pefect for a large party family. Our group had 6 adults and 4 children and it was perfect for family time. Enough room for family dinners, movie nights and sunset watching on the deck. Also enough parking since it's on a cul-de-sac. The area is quiet, great views and easy access to shops and restaurants. We highly recommend!
We had an amazing weekend at this lovely home. Very clean and kitchen was fully stocked. Nice trails to walk near by and check in/out process was easy.

spacious place
The place is located in the Northstar resort. I stayed here for 3 nights during a ski trip. It's very spacious and clean.
Overall the property is well equipped and accommodated our two family party of 10 very well. Our kids loved the ping pong and the parents, a table that was large enough for all.
This house was the perfect size to accommodate our group of 8. Lots of deck space and a large couch in the living room to socialize between outdoor activities in the area, and a fully-stocked kitchen for all our at-home meals. We also appreciated access to the in-unit laundry to wash clothes and towels after river rafting! Just note the bathroom doors have a tendency to get stuck and need to be re-leveled, and the worn-out skillets in the kitchen should be replaced. Great impression of the house otherwise. We would definitely book again!

Everything we wanted!
I had the pleasure of staying here for a week of spring skiing! Everyone in my party was comfortable and very satisfied with the rooms. We loved popping over to the rec center to take advantage of the sauna and hot tubs! We will definitely be back!

Stunning Views
Very nice home on Skidder Trail: at Northstar, so great skiing in the winter, and tons of summer activities nearby - hike, ride, float, sunbathe. Well-kept and well stocked home. Enjoy!

Great Northstar Value
Spacious and comfortable with a huge kitchen, 3 large decks and views for days. Easy shuttle to Northstar village and rec center. Plenty to do on days-in with 3 smart tvs, solid wifi, games, puzzles, books, and ping pong.
Great spot for a bachelorette party! Perfect size for 10 girls. It is a little outdated - not a lot of amenities including trash bags, soap, shampoo, kitchen stuff etc, but we made it work. Perfect location and great views. Thanks again!!

Great ski stay
Spacious, comfortable house with very nice layout. Sledding, hikes, mountain bike trails directly outside house, easy shuttle access to village. Whole house was very clean and in great condition. Well stocked with everything you needed including sleds. Decks everywhere. No fireplace in the living room, but otherwise an ideal spot.
It was a nice weekend. Love the ping pong table and downstairs bedrooms. It was a really hot weekend. The air conditioning does not work very well.

We had a wonderful stay for two nights. We were a group consisting of two couples and a family of four. It was a beautiful spacious home with lots of natural light. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. The towels were new and fresh. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, glassware and dishes. It was a great location. we would definitely consider renting this home again.

A Truly Wonderful Time
We had a wonderful two weeks at this property with our large family of 15! We all had everything we needed for sleeping arrangements, bathrooms and I can't tell you how pleased we were to all be able to eat at the same table! (minus the three babies) We used the BBQ almost every night and relaxed on the decks admiring the beautiful views! We cant wait to book the house again for our next family getaway.
We had an awesome weekend at this beautiful home! It is the perfect size for 2-3 families. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, the wet bar with the extra beverage fridge was perfect for storing all our cold drinks. We loved playing ping pong in the garage, the kids loved the kids room, all the beds were comfortable, there were so many extra towels, pillows, and blankets! We had the Northstar shuttle pick us up and drop us off at the house, what more can you ask for?! We’d love to come back to this home!!!
