Convenient Location
The property was nice, convenient to Northstar with shuttle access. Not the most cleanly as we found some dead insects and used towels upon check in but perhaps the cleaning crew just did a poor job prior to our stay.

Good parking, shuttle to NorthStar, woodburning stove is cozy, and the beds are comfy. Just wish the snow was better.

Family-friendly Northstar home
Our communication with the host was immediate, even before we arrived, and continued throughout our stay. The home was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect—just a 5-minute drive to Northstar Resort or a quick shuttle ride away. This place is incredibly family-friendly, and the description and amenities were spot-on. Thank you James for being so responsive!

Magic New Year Tahoe Stay
We were greeted with a cozy and inviting A-frame cabin with great parking, kitchen and family room. Decor was family comfortable with a great wood-burning fireplace in front of massive windows and great forest view. Rooms were all fully equipped & comfortable.
