Great Stay
We had a lovely visit to the Northstar area and enjoyed the Compass Luxury Lodge. It's a beautiful property, well appointed, with all of the necessary features for a comfortable visit. We took full advantage of the sledding gear after the season's first dump of snow. The family also enjoyed the Rec Center with its workout & game rooms, giant hottub, saunas, and heated lap pool.
We had a really great stay. Everything was as expected with the house. Locked ourselves out once, but the property managers were quickly able to help us get back inside.

Beautiful Northstar home. Great views off the front deck and easy access to multiple trails out the back patio. Home was perfect for 4 adults and 2 young children. Kitchen (and really the entire home) very clean and well appointed.
