Amazing Roomy Unit With the Best Location

This VRBO was perfect for us! I cannot recommended it enough - we will definitely be rebooking. It was perfect for size, location, convenience, luxury and logistics!We all know that skiing involves a lot of schlepping so to find a vrbo that eliminated so much of the schlepping was a game changer for us! When you stay at this unit you get to park in the garage under the northstar village, in the garage there are free carts available to haul your stuff and the elevator goes right to your unit! Additionally you get a ski locker on the lobby floor so that you don’t have to bring them up and down. The lobby of this unit is a 2 minute walk to the gondola - so short our 5 year old didn’t even mind carrying his skis! The unit has a balcony that overlooks the ice rinks so you get to enjoy great views while listening to the live music! There was enough space for my family of 5 and 2 grandparents! We loved it!

Fabulous location

Super location and resort. Very nice and big apartment with just a few minor issues that did not cause terrible inconvenience: keys deactivating and getting locked out; few broken things: wine cooler and ice maker not functioning. Nicely appointed otherwise and appreciate items like soap, tp, shampoo, condiments. Wish there were washcloths and a sponge or kitchen rags. Not within control of owner but renters should be aware is that if there is a big snow as there was with us a few days, you will be woken up by the snow removal trucks/ equipment at 3am and it continues until dawn. It’s understandable and appreciated, but others may not be aware this will happen. We would definitely return!

The property owner provided no instructions on how to check in, wifi etc. the elevator broke for 48 hours and the owner provided no Keys/access to the property when the elevator was down. I paid thousands for a unit with no key access? I had to track down management on site and they had no extra keys to provide either. I would NOT stay here again.

We loved staying here, a lot more spacious than we expected. The home was well stocked with condiments, pillows, blankets, towels. Property manager was extremely kind and let us check out late. The amenities on site you can’t beat - always something going on. Restaurants are all delicious.

Great place to visit with family

What a welcoming place. We were in town for a family wedding. From the moment we stepped off the elevator straight into the condo, we enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space to spread out, extremely well appointed kitchen with everything you need to host a family dinner and cooling AC to escape the summer heat Nice deck overlooks the rink, rec center access with lots of activities and great underground parking It’s also very easy for an elder relative with rollator to get around I look forward to planning another stay here

Great family spot in Northstar

We had never stayed at the Northstar Village before and the whole resort felt very swanky and fun! The unit was beautiful with a fun cabin vibe and the location was so convenient with a great view of the skating rink. The rooms and living area were good sized and each room had an en-suite. We really enjoyed the resort amenities (gym, pool, etc.). The check in process was a bit confusing in that there are 4 possible places to check in, we found it on the third try. The unit was mostly clean, but the third bedroom had sheets that smelled like body odor and the bunk beds had broken steps. We also nearly ran out of toilet paper. Communication with the owner was delayed, but they were super accommodating and let us check out early. All in all we would definitely stay there again.

Nice place… needs a few minor maintenance items.

There place and location were great! Perfect for a week at Northstar with family and friends. We’d book again… super convenience and comfortable. Our only suggestion is that they need some wine glasses and the microwave didn’t seem to work. Otherwise, all was terrific!

Perfect family ski lodging

Wonderful location overlooking the Northstar ice rink. Ski storage locker on the first floor is great for keeping your equipment. Two minute walk to the lifts. Also very nice underground parking with easy access to the elevator that goes directly into your room - no trudging down the hallway with all your gear. Unit is in good condition for a ski village - a few dings but nothing major. Nice kitchen appliances, the gas oven worked perfectly. Well stocked kitchen for all of our cooking and a convenient mini grocery store just a 2 minute walk away for getting supplies. Hard to imagine a much better spot for a family ski trip!

Great location, not the cleanest

We stayed here in March 2023. PROS: - Location is amazing. Great access from garage parking with the elevator opening right into the unit. - Great balcony that overlooks the skating rink and didn’t find it noisy - Plenty of room for 3 adults and 3 kids and can fit more CONS: - As some of the prior reviews mentioned, the place was not clean…and I mean not CLEANED. Our boys found a beer can in the bunk bed!? - None of the beds were clean or sheets changed - Towels from prior guest were still on the floor - Crumbs all over the counter and table - Garbage was not emptied - Dirty dishes in dishwasher - We ended up starting a load of towels and stripped the kids beds ourselves to wash the sheets so we could get them settled. We also started the dishwasher to get some clean plates. Not a great first few hours. - Also previously mentioned, there were no wine glasses, but I guess that’s a minor issue compared to the sheets/towel situation I contacted the owner and he sent over the cleaners, although we waited 1.5hrs for them to get there. We then sat at the dirty table for another 2hrs, while the cleaners cleaned the unit. Cleaners were great, but the whole situation was not. Epic snow conditions made up for it though!

Ski in/out

Great place to stay if you want to stay in the village. Check in was super easy, parking was ten feet from the elevator (which opens directly into the room) and plenty of space for 3 adults and 3 kids.
