Bitter brush house

What a great place with a beautiful view! We realize it is a rental so the owner perhaps doesn’t know about the disrepair that is happening. We wrote a list of things that need to be fixed to assist and make the stay for your next guests more comfortable. Any break on the cost would be appreciated. Needs sponges (only one tiny funky sponge) and kitchen towels Stove fan doesn’t work Oven needs a new control knob, no numbers visible Microwave turn table doesn’t spin. Cupboard under stove is broken. Cutting boards are all bent and need replacing. 1/2 bath lights need replacing Heating system needs to be check downstairs double room on the left too hot, the double one on the right no heat. Double room on left, blinds don’t close lamp doesn’t turn of unless unplugged. Main room downstairs, tv has no volume and heater vent won’t open Hot tub needs to be repositioned so you can open top, can only have it half open because the lift assist it too close to the building Sliding door by the dining room table needs some help, gets off track and hard to close once opened

Nice spot but needs some money put back in to it. Mattress in master sloped so much I would slide off at night. Back of sectional sofa in living room broken. Igniter to outdoor grill inoperable. Pool cues had no tips(I bought some glue to fix that). Multiple recessed lights in kitchen out. Owners need to spend some money!

Terrific location and support

Our family of seven (5 to 79 yrs) had a terrific time the week before Christmas 2022 at 202 Bitter Brush at Northstar. A door to door shuttle service to/from the slopes virtually “on demand”. Very informative employees manning the phones to answer questions. Very professional and responsive maintenance crew. This home has terrific window views on three sides on the main floor and two sides on the bedroom floors. A fully stocked kitchen and large dining room table. We hope to return soon.

Beautiful home for relaxing family vacation

We have stayed in this beautiful Bitter Brush property twice, first in summer 2019 and then again in summer 2022. The home is comfortable and decorated nicely, with a great kitchen and living room space. The deck, which overlooks the 9th hole of Northstar golf course, is our favorite space in the late afternoon and early evening. As a golfing family, we love that we can get to the Northstar course in 2 minutes from the house. The house is excellent for several couples traveling together since it has two main bedrooms with attached bathrooms. The two other bedrooms are large with big closets and 2 queen sized beds each. We cook all of our meals at the house, enjoying the well-appointed and designed kitchen. Restaurants are nearby in Northstar that guests can get to using the shuttle service if desired. The knives in the kitchen could use a bit of sharpening, but otherwise we had everything we needed to cook a variety of meals. The house is multi-level, which is something to be aware of if traveling with companions who have mobility issues. If you're planning to visit in the summer and you're coming from a place where you're used to having air conditioning, note that the house doesn't have central air conditioning. The afternoon hours can be a bit warm inside, but there are plenty of fans available in the house to circulate air. The temperatures drop as the sun goes down and the house quickly cools. Sleeping is quite comfortable. We noticed a few maintanence needs in 2022 that we did not see in 2019. In the downstairs main bedroom, the back door no longer has any covering on it so the sun comes in early in the morning. The screen door on the living room sliding door needs repair/replacing. There is a large water damage spot in the living room ceiling from a water leak around the sky light. We had great communication throughout the rental process about what was available in the house, how to access the home, when the property was available for check-in, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our visits to this property.
