Great house for a family vacation!

This house is conveniently located near Northstar, with free shuttle access to the resort. The house is well-stocked for families: dishes, books, toys, games, plenty of room and the beds were very comfortable. Only thing we missed was a bath tub for the kids. Overall, we had a great time!
