We loved staying at this house. Very convenient to catch the shuttle to Northstar. The house is spacious and had everything we needed for 2 families with 4 kids.
We had a great time. The house is sizable and was perfect for our needs. The proximity to Northstar with their bus service made it easy for everyone to follow their own schedules.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay!
This was our second time booking this property and our family ages 14-70 really enjoyed our stay which was a 50th wedding anniversary trip for my parents. The home is beautiful and well maintained and provides all the comforts of home. We look forward to another return trip in the future.

Beautiful, well maintained home with everything you need!
We loved the property situated on a quiet culdasac. The home was immaculate and the kitchen was well stocked, they had beach chairs and towels, bikes, coolers and anything you might need for a stay in Lake Tahoe! Access to the Northstar recreation center was an added bonus!

Beautiful, comfortable, well maintained cabin for the perfect family vacation!
We rented this cabin for a family ski vacation and were more than happy! The cabin is clean, well maintained, and very well decorated. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed for cooking meals. It was spacious but still had a cozy cabin feel. We would definitely come back!

Loved the house
The house is great, we loved it....the layout is perfect for 2 families !
Thank you
this property is just as nice as depicted in the photos! Sherri at VACAY (management company) was very helpful with my multitude of questions. The location to Northstar ski resort can't be beat and the guest pass for the recreation center is a great perk.
