Great home for large family on Northstar property. Access to Northstar Village was easy due to on-demand shuttle. Beautiful site along a babbling brook. Chill outside at night in the large hottub under the stars. Would return.
We had a lovely stay in this cosy house. It was the perfect base for all snow activities with Northstar so close by. The kitchen was really well equipped and we had everything we needed. The hot tub was a huge hit with our kids. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We would definitely recommend and stay again if we were in the area.
Great home. Living room has a wonderful mountain feel, and kitchen is very well equipped. Hot tub clean and well maintained, and family/game room perfect to kids to hang out. Plenty of parking and easy shuttle to the resort. Thoughtful and thorough communication from owner was excellent. Will definitely book again.
Such a cute place! Two families with tweens stayed for a long weekend. The kitchen is very well stocked (my husband loves to cook) which is rare in a rental house. The kids loved the separate family room and bunk room, and the adults loved sipping cocktails by the fire. We will definitely be back! Great responsive hosts.
The property was exactly as listed. Great amount of space for my husband and I with our two small children and my parents. The Northstar shuttle service is so convenient and it was seamless to get to and from the lifts to ski.
Our family of four (kids aged 12 and 14) absolutely loved this comfy and charming cabin. There was plenty of room to stretch out, play games, watch movies, and cook. The hot tub was dreamy, the beds were comfy, the fireplace was cozy, and the free Northstar shuttle to the slopes was awesome! We were only there for a weekend, but we would have loved to have stayed longer.
Large place with 4 TVs and 2 gas fireplaces! Very well equipped kitchen. There were a few glitches-minor broken or not functioning features. The back side decks are spacious and in a beautiful setting. You can see the golf course from both front and back but only through forested trees. Contact owner before entering as the alarm may not be set, contrary to check in document. You don’t want to mess with that if not needed. A very quiet and peaceful late summer stay for me.
We had a great stay. We brought our teenage sons for a snowboarding trip. The location was perfect, just 2 minutes from Northstar.
We had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked. There were plenty of blankets, pillows, and towels. Three full bathrooms was a plus!
The boys loved the hot tub after a long day of snowboarding . They stayed entertained playing the X-Box and PlayStation. We couldn’t have picked a better place to have a mother son get away. Liz our host was so friendly and easy to reach if we needed anything. We will definitely be back!
The place was spotless and exactly as described. Beautiful and quiet setting and our kids loved place with the many games and puzzles. Would definitely stay again.
Beautiful Tahoe home - with every amenity supplied! Great location, ample space for large family, overall wonderful experience. I cannot think of one item that I wished would’ve been supplied,; everything was very thoughtfully supplied to ensure a streamlined, enjoyable stay!
Excellent first trip up this season to a property in a fantastic location (can't beat shuttle access!), lots of games for the kids and plenty of space. Would definitely recommend.
Property wasnt too clean. Whoever did it before our stay, must have been in a hurry. A lot of trash and a lot of spider webs. Decks were not cleaned off should have been swept off. Freezer was full of food left by previous renters. Carpet needs to be replaced. Property from outside was very nice. Liked all the decks and hot tub was nice. Owner said they were going to fix a lot of the things I mentioned. Would certainly look at renting this again in the future.
Our family stayed at this property over Memorial Day weekend. The house was spacious and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything you needed (even sharp knives which you never see at rental properties). My favorite part was sitting on one of the beautiful decks surrounded by trees, eating breakfast or reading a book. And of course, we all enjoyed the hot tub. I’d love to spend a week there next time.
This place is perfect for a couple of families with kids. There are two bedrooms for the parents and one bedroom full of bunk beds and toys for the kids. The Northstar shuttle is very easy to use, if you are driving in from elsewhere, you'll likely have to shuttle up to the village anyway. Communication with the owners was very good. Read the check in directions carefully.
This cabin was absolutely perfect for our stay. Tucked away in the woods, but on the Northstar shuttle route for convenience, we were able to relax and re-energize. From the excellent sledding right out back, to the copious games and movies provided, this is a perfect family retreat!
Every step in this process has been great. It's our first experience with the VRBO site and that was smooth. The owners/property manager was with us every step along the way with excellent communication. The house was even better than we were hoping it would be. With two master suites, kids bedroom and then also a family game room, it's perfect for two families. The house and the communication for this property were a perfect 10. Every detail has been well thought out. We are already looking forward to the next opportunity to go back! Thank you for such a great experience and family vacation memory.
We had a marvelous stay. The house was very spacious and allowed us to spread out. It was well stocked with paper products, trash bags, spices, linens , etc. The hot tub was phenomenal after long days of skiing. We also enjoyed both gas fireplaces as they made for cozy evenings in, and we did not have to keep the fire going with wood. The location could not have been better as it was very close to the slopes and the grocery. We used the free Northstar shuttle to the slopes which was very convenient and a great experience. The home had sleds for our use as well which was also a fun bonus!! The owner was easy to work with and checked in on us the day of arrival to make sure everything was good.
Liz's property in the Northstar area of Tahoe was great. Clean, spacious, and perfectly located. We loved that it was on a golf course with easily walkable trails for Grandma but also within driving to all key spots: the lake, Truckee, Squaw, etc., for more serious trail exploring. Always nice to come back after a day outside to such a nice place! We'll be back.
This is a sibling owned family vacation house for family members located on both coasts (Bay Area and NYC).
