We come to Tahoe every year to ski. The rental house game here is strong and we have stayed in many beautiful and well managed rentals. But this home is just our absolute favorite- the rooms are all en suite, the kitchen has a very sensible layout, the location is great, and the hosts are responsive and lovely. This was our second time staying here and we look forward to returning again!

We enjoyed our stay at Nicole’s lodge. The house is very comfortable for two families (4 adults -6 kids). The play room was a hit for the kids with the pool table. Also the sledding in the back was really fun. Nicole was a great host, she was looking out for us as our travel plans got disrupted for the east coast storm. She was very proactive and give us flexibility to extend our stay. If you are coming in the winter the ski is fantastic for all expertise levels. We will definitely come back! Thanks Nicole for sharing your beautiful home.

This property had everthing wecould have needed/wanted and then some. Nicole has thought of everything and it is an absolutely stunning home in a very convenient location. We stayed in almost ever night and cooked because every appliance we would need was available, and to feed our family of 11, we couldn't have been happier and more comfortable.

Great Family Home!

Our annual family vacation was a success again! The home accommodated myself, 3 adult kiddos, everyone’s significant other, grandkids and pups. The home was spacious and comfortable and super convenient to mountain biking, food, ropes course and the lake. I cherish these time to getting us all under one roof at least once a year and the home was perfect in every way!!!!

Great week at Northstar/Tahoe

The house was perfect for the eight of us. And it was well appointed - everything you could need. The owners were responsive and helpful. Northstar is a great choice for a Lake Tahoe vacation - away from the crowds yet close to all the surrounding sites and activities.

Fantastic Place

Our family and friends had a wonderful time celebrating my wife on her 40th birthday. House is awesome. Commercial kitchen, game room, and a sledding hill directly behind the house were just a few of our favorite features. Overall a fantastic gathering place. Highly recommend.

Wonderful family time!

Everything was perfect- the house had everything we could of asked for. We spent Thanksgiving with family and extended family. Everyone had space to spread out and still be together. The hill in the back was perfect for the littles to sled while the teens enjoyed the pool table and game room. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedding on the beds was extremely comfortable. Defiantly would recommend this property to families!!
