Perfect Location but Lacking Some Comforts: A Mixed Experience at Northstar Luxury 2 BR House
Werecently stayed at the Northstar Luxury 2 BR House and found it had both excellent aspects and some challenges. The property is in a quiet, end-unit location, just 10 minutes from Truckee and 15 minutes from the lakeside. It’s perfect for summer biking, hiking, restaurants, and events. The house is beautifully designed, with a cozy fireplace and free shuttle service. The property management was also accommodating and easy to work with, which greatly enhanced our stay.
However, there were some challenges. We stayed in July, and it was very hot. The unit lacks air conditioning, and the upstairs never cooled off. Larger floor fans would have helped, as the rotating ceiling fans didn’t move the air well. There's no bike storage except under the stairs to the front door, which was inconvenient. The layout includes many stairs, both from the parking lot to the unit's front door and within the split-level unit, which might be challenging for older guests. One of the outside stairs was unstable, and the railing caused splinters in our hands.
Due to HOA rules, we couldn’t use the BBQ, which was a disappointment. We also found it inconvenient to log into VRBO app messages due to Wi-Fi issues on VRBO’s end. We wished we had a texting option for easier communication throughout our stay.
Overall, the property offers many wonderful features and a prime location Despite the challenges, the beautiful surroundings and convenient location made our trip enjoyable.
