What a great condo! With access to northstar recreation center this was a great perk. (Expect to pay a daily 10/person daily fee) if using. The condo itself was clean and felt very cozy. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms were all updated and very nice. I’d stay here again easily. The only downside I could think of is there is no AC so the rooms were hot at night. There were fans provided. Everything else was perfect! There are also food options 5mins away at northstar. Approximately 20 mins from kings beach, there is so much to do in north lake!
