We loved this home- perfect summer or winter! Gorgeous views and great location. We used the clubhouse and hot tub and enjoyed hiking right from the door.
Hot tub was great. Second snow shovel would be helpful. No path to mud room without having to go through house. Shuttle service and drivers were fantastic and very accessible. Spa cleaning guy turned off spa the day before we were to leave. Beautiful home and great venue to create lasting memories.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback — we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the hot tub, the shuttle service, and the beautiful home. It’s wonderful to know it helped create lasting memories for your group.
Regarding the hot tub, it would be very unusual for our spa vendor to turn it off, as their role is to service and ensure it is fully operational for guest use — especially during an active stay. We’re looking into this with them to understand exactly what may have happened and to prevent it from occurring in the future.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we truly hope to welcome you back to Tahoe again soon.
The house is in a great location and it’s beautiful! Brooke, the property manager, helped us with everything and was there for us whenever we had a question. Everything was perfect for our ski trip, we’ll definitely return soon to this house!

Beautiful house; everything in working order. The advertised shuttle to the Ritz doesn’t start until next month and there wasn’t info on how “ski in” would actually work, but since there wasn’t enough snow to ski out either that wasn’t a big deal. FYI the Ritz service people were super hostile; made a point of how little they appreciate neighbors coming up there who aren’t staying at the hotel.
The "cabin" was amazing. Its location was spot on for our event at the Ritz and for various activities during our stay. The kids loved the hot tub and the media room - we could not seem to get them away. Personally the early morning views off the cabin were the best! The clubhouse added the cool factor. Loved the pool, gym and bocce ball.
The cabin was well equipped with all the required amenities. Could not have asked for anything more. We all had a great time and came away with some great memories.
Thank you very much for having us!
Overall we were pleased with the property. It’s a relatively new home perched on a mountainside very close to the Ritz-Carlton at Northstar. Very comfortable, cozy home with huge windows on the main level ( great room and Master bedroom ) facing a gorgeous view down into the valley towards Truckee. The home was very well appointed - full kitchen with everything you’d need plus comfortable beds, bathrooms, etc. The house is steps from a community amenity - the Treehouse - that I believe they undersell in the listing. The Treehouse is a clubhouse for the Mountainside community- it has a large lounge, game room, workout facility, a heated pool and hot tub. Huge plus. Overall the location was convenient for what we wanted to do - which was to have a quiet spot with great views within driving distance of activities. The house is about 15 minutes by car to both Truckee and Kings Beach. South Lake Tahoe was an hours drive. The one important caveat I would give to prospective renters is that the home has radiant heat and cooling. I have no doubt this system works extremely well in the winter time. For cooling - it’s not so great. We only had two or three hot days at the end of our visit but we couldn’t keep the ambient temperature upstairs from reaching the high 70s by mid to late afternoon. Hate to say it but I would probably shy away from this property in the dead of Summer. Otherwise, i would recommend the property highly.

Thank you for the very thoughtful review, Jeff! We are glad to hear you enjoyed the home, amenities and the surrounding area! Thank you for the feedback too! We will add some verbiage about the Treehouse being so close to the home. We agree that is currently a bit understated and as perk!
We also appreciate the feedback on the radiant cooling system. During those hottest days of summer it is not quite at the same operationally as your typical forced air cooling so we will add some verbiage to the listing to better represent that! We have also added some more instructions in the home on how to use the cooling system to make sure it is working efficiently! You are correct, this type of system is optimal for heating in the winter. :)
It was a pleasure hosting you!
We had a great stay over Thanksgiving. We had a few issues, all very minor, and it was easy to get in touch with property management. You can't beat the location.
Beautiful house, great amenities, wondeful setting
The house was fantastic. Beautiful sunset views every night, good kitchen, nice tech setup. The Treehouse gym/pool just 100 yards away was a huge hit. The Playacre area a short walk away was great for kids, and it's a 15 minute walk to the Ritz to take the gondola down to the Village. Some small details (arcade system had buttons broken) were off, but on the whole the experience was great.
We have stayed at numerous properties at Northstar for the last 15+ summers. This is a new favorite! Beautiful, well appointed home with a spectacular view. Master suite shares the same amazing view and is alone on the top floor. Downstairs three additional bedrooms and a huge “bunk room” that doubles as a family room for the teens. Within walking distance is the private clubhouse with pool, pool table, work out room and lots of quiet space. Short 8 minute drive to the village and amenities. Kitchen was well outfitted for a big group. Only a handful of residences on the street makes it extremely quiet. Highly recommend.
Location and views!!! The architecture!! All of it was amazing! My whole family was comfortable and we loved the fireplace and hot tub . We would stay here again, even thinking about buying a similar home in the area because it’s so perfect!

Thank you for the amazing review, Parveen! We hope to see you back again soon!
The view is gorgeous! The house held my family of 8 and my brother in law, sister in law and their 3 kids. We all had such a fun time!! Plenty of room and the kids brought their Xbox and loved the game room!
COVID made it difficult as we couldn’t use the REC room, but we signed up for an hour of pool time which was fun.
House is fun and hot tub really nice!😀
Absolutely loved this home! Would definitely stay again. Check-in/Check-out process extremely easy. All amenities provided. Beautiful views. Really just the perfect home!
The view from almost every room in the house is terrific. Skiing in and out on an easy Blue run was good for our group. It was much quicker to ski to the village than drive. The porch, patio, deck, hot tub and gas fire pit were also very nice.
This house was everything and more we could imagine - highly recommend and we'll be back soon for sure.

Reviewer Comments:
Our family of 14 got together in this beautiful home for a reunion. We enjoyed the big kitchen, and cooked every night. Opened up the sliders to the patio and enjoyed the fresh air, and hot tubbed in the morning and evening. HD TV's in every room, so we could watch the Giants' game real time--a family favorite, and everyone had a comfortable bed to sleep in when it was time to turn in. We had everything we needed including humidifiers, towels, pots, pans, and serving dishes. Highly recommend this property.
