Everything a guest would want

The house contains everything and more we could want. Kitchen drawers filled with all required to serve family of 11. Here’s some examples: rice cooker, 3 living/sitting areas, ping pong and pool table in house, hot tub outside, putting green, main kitchen with 2 dishwashers, 2 sinks, magnificent rec center with multiple pools for children, 3 jacuzzis, I could go on and on. Also very comfortable beds

Great location and wonderful stay!

Overall, this is a great cabin for a large group. We had a lot of fun. The home is somewhat old and some of the furniture is run down, but we would love to be here again! The location is quite central and it was very easy to go in and out!

Lovely Home and Great Host!

We really enjoyed staying at Steve’s home. It has everything you could possibly need and more. The decor is really beautiful and very well set up. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home. It’s also on the shuttle for northstar making it easy to get there for skiing.

We were so lucky to have snow. We used the Northstar app to get the shuttle and it was so convenient to get dropped off after skiing. Great space for a friend group get-together. We have been coming here for years. Thank you very much for sharing your home!

Ski Weekend

Our stay at Steve's property was perfect. Plenty of parking at the house. Very fast and convenient shuttle service to the main village. We didn't need to use our cars for the entire stay! Very nice hot tub to rest the legs after skiing. Great kitchen with everything we needed to cook an elaborate breakfast and dinner for everyone in the house.

Wonderful Stay

Our group consisted of 6 families all with kids that ranged from 5-11 year olds. What a game changer to have Northstar shuttle pick you right in front of the house. The proximity to Northstar is unmatched. The house and kitchen are well stocked. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The owner of the house was so responsive and great with communication. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Big Family- great place

House was large enough for our family (13) that we were all able to spread out and have our own space but still be together. Kitchen is large and easy to make big meals. Burners are tricky to light though. Some mattresses and carpet could be updated, but overall everyone was happy and slept well. House was clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely book this same house again. House is packed with things to do inside and out. Kept kids entertained well (ages 3-15). Steve was helpful on giving local suggestions and responded quickly if/when we reached out. Location was perfect for free shuttle to slopes.

Fit our needs wonderfully

Online listing said 8 bedrooms but there were only 7, and it said 5 bathrooms but there were 6. The inside of the cabin was rustic with a lot of character and we loved it. Kitchen space was great. Loved that it had two large refrigerators and two large tables. Loved the gas fire pit on the deck and the hot tub. The biggest downside was having to wash all of our own towels before checkout and having to dump our garbage off site. We have a large family and it was very comfortable and fun for our reunion. Would definitely love to stay here again.

Reunion 2023

This home was perfect for our large group. This year was the first year without our Mother, who's passed in January of this year. Our parents started our reunion 30 years ago and since then, we've continued our reunion as siblings with our children and grandchildren. The space was great and it accommodated our family. All the games from the volleyball net, ping pong table, pool table, hot tub, and many more board games was a great hit! Appreciate your help with the check in process. Helped us out a lot. Thank you thank you!!

Amazing Property

First off let me start by saying Steve was amazing! Anytime I had a question prior to our stay he was very quick to respond. While at the residence the power went out due to a nearby fire in North Tahoe and Steve called me to provide information he received from the power company. Even with the power out we made the best of our time at the house. There were so many games and activities keeping us busy. Also there were a lot of flashlights around the house which was nice. Something you don’t think about until you need them. Now to talk about the kitchen. The kitchen had everything you need. Pots, pans, larger pots/pans, multiple coffee machines, seasonings, utensils. It was overall a GREAT home and experience. Will definitely be coming back in the future for our family vacations

Space to Play

Our family decided that January 1-6 would be a great time for Christmas and would eliminate the pull and tug deciding which house to be at for the morning, evening, Christmas Eve or dinner. The celebration with the family of the partners was on Christmas and with our family on New Year's. We spent most of the week playing games; all kinds of games. The younger ones went out to play or found a game inside, too, and we could have our meals in a separate space from the game boards. Great week; great space. We were fortunate not to have to plow through any snow to get there, but disappointed because there was no snow until the last day!

Fun Company Trip

We had a large group of adults for the company trip to Tahoe, and the house was spacious enough to fit everyone. The house is beautiful and the kitchen well equipped. The only downside is that during our stay the Hot Tub didn't work, several people in our party was super bummed about that. Steve was really friendly and tried to get things working again, but it was easter weekend and the technician didn't have the part necessary. Other than that the trip was great, the house and an xbox with lots of fun games and a pool table, and it was conveniently located with a nice free shuttle ride to Northstar.

Perfect family home for a large gathering!

We had a family reunion over Easter weekend with 23 people (ages 1-78) who came from California, Nevada, and Florida, and every person loved it! The house was even lovelier in person compared to the pictures. There were so many areas to relax and gather, lots of space for the kids to roam about, and windows all around with lots of light! It definitely felt like our home for those few days. The house has everything you need so all you need to bring are your personal items and food and drinks. The kitchen was one of our favorite rooms as we spent lots of time cooking and baking together, eating, and chatting (plenty of pans, utensils, plates, cups, cutting boards, mixing bowls, and much more). We brought some spices and condiments, but they had most of what we needed already. Loved that they had a rice cooker and Keurig, which was used a lot. Everyone enjoyed the great room and played many games of pool, darts, and ping pong, watched movies, played the piano, poured drinks at the bar, played lots of games, and finished a large puzzle at the dining table (we did bring our own puzzle after reading a review mentioning some missing pieces for the ones there). Outside, everyone enjoyed the hot tub, sledding, and playing in the snow, which the kids enjoyed the most, and even used the grill to make some dinner for all. It snowed one of the days, and we were all perfectly happy staying in all day. Don't forget to check out the storage room to the left of the front door there as it's full of other items you may wish to use - we found an air pump there we needed to blow up our snow tubes! The location is awesome and easy to get to. Stores are not too far for anything else you need, as well as restaurants, casinos, and North Lake Tahoe. Getting to and from North Star Resort was very easy and convenient with the free shuttle service - it arrived very quickly after requesting from the phone app and picked us all up right in front of the house. The instructions for check-out were simple enough. The only thing is one of the dryers was out, which was expected as we were informed before we arrived, but we made it work! Would definitely recommend this place and we hope to come back again! We made many good memories here and had an amazing family reunion. Some of the kids even cried when we were leaving! The host is very friendly, communicative, and accommodating - thank you very much, Steve!

Tahoe happiness

We have a family reunion every other year and chose this fabulous home for our 2025 trip. 9 adults and 9 kids and we all had a blast. The house is very spacious, including the well-appointed kitchen. Darts, pool, ping pong, a putting green, a fire pit, a hot tub, three places to gather and watch TV or movies, plenty of spots to play games or play outside. Great trails just a few steps outside the front door. We spotted bears twice!
