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!

Summer Week in Tahoe

The house was lovely, clean, and well located. The Northstar neighborhood offers a lot of great services, including a free, on demand shuttle and walking trails up to the village area. Only complaints were the beds. All of the adults had mostly sleepless nights from poor quality mattresses and pillows. Would have been five stars, otherwise.

Northstar house rental

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.

Great large home for (multi) family vacation

The property is excellent. 4 bedrooms and bathrooms to easily accommodate a large group. The kitchen is well stocked and the chromecast TV was great. The ping pong table in the garage was a nice surprise and well used during our visit. Thank you for sharing your great home with us!
