It was a great location with great amenities. The free shuttle to the village was very convenient.The house is beautiful and great for families with kids with lots of beds in the bunk room and a nice area for kids to play. The “mud” room was perfect to keep all of our ski gears. The kitchen area is very nice and well stocked with appliances and tools.

The house is beautiful and well appointed. Lots of space for everyone including a large kitchen. The only comments were about the three steep steps into the kitchen with no handrail to help us older folks. The driveway is a challenge but we managed! Wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful stay here this weekend -- this was the perfect space for our group of two families (four adults and four kids). The house is well-appointed and even nicer than pictured. We enjoyed the hot tub, the hiking trails right off property, the Northstar amenities, and the beautiful patio. Thanks for a fantastic stay and we'd love to return!

Family Tahoe Trip
We visit Tahoe often with some or all of the family. This last stay was exceptional, as the house layout, amenities and comfort helped us all enjoy our stay that much more. The property management team was awesome in making our check in and stay effortless and carefree and were accommodating to all of our needs. We will be back.
