Please remember that living in the mountains and staying in a private home means that there are some things we cannot control. For example, weather and harsh conditions have knocked out Wifi and the power before.

While we will try to accommodate all requests, we handle refunds for situations like this (power outages, appliances breaking, etc.) on a case by case basis.

Sweet family home in Northstar

This was a perfect family home for our stay in Northstar. The house was comfortable, with enough seating to eat and lounge for the 6 of us. Location was perfect for Northstar skiing and an easy ride to grab food/groceries out in the main area of town. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking in, and plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets for what we needed.

Family reunion

We loved the view from the front of the house and the windows. So peaceful to sit on the balcony and relax while enjoying the view. Short drive to the historic town of Truckee and the Northstar recreation center and village. Not far from Commons Beach which was a nice little beach and great playground. Kings Beach is close by too. Home was clean and had all the kitchen appliances needed for cooking. Would definitely stay at this home again.

Great rental for families

Our group of four adults and one child loved our time at this Truckee rental! Its location was ideal, offering easy access to both Donner and Tahoe Lakes. The house was a great size for our group, with a well-equipped kitchen perfect for making meals and a comfy couch that easily fits a large group for a movie night. The surrounding neighborhood was lovely for evening walks, and access to the pools and hot tub were a welcome bonus. The only small thing we noticed was that the upstairs bedroom tended to get a bit stuffy.

We had a great stay, thank you so much! With so much snow coming down it was great to be able to park the cars and use the shuttle every day. The house itself had plenty of space and was as advertised. Communication with property management was also easy. No complaints, only a lot of happy kids. Thanks again!

Super convenient place when skiing north star

The house is super convenient and very quiet. Easily accommodated our two families with a total of four adults and four kids. The shuttle service back-and-forth to the Northstar village was perfect. It made ski days on the mountain breeze. Simply call the shuttle and you are on your way within five minutes. We will definitely consider this house again next year for our annual ski trip.
