Decent but could be better

First of all, the listing was misrepresented as having a king bed. This was not accurate. Both large beds were queen size. We continually had to deal with a clogged up right sink with a non working garbage disposal. Even though we didnt use it, it would keep backing up. We found a mini plunger that was provided that we had to keep using. Why not just get it fixed!? Managers stopped responding so we just muddled through. They had a total of six mismatched wine glasses and a set of chipped plates. These are things that are easily remedied at Costco or the like. The good parts were: The neighborhood, views, and spaciousness of the accommodations were very nice. We loved taking the shuttle to Northstar village.

Fantastic experience. The house has a great layout and perfect for family time. Easy access to Northstar village via the shuttle bus and the walks around the golf course area are excellent. The property managers are amazing communicators which made for an incredible stay. Would definitely rent again.

Great location and clean house

It’s easy to access to the village from this property. And, the house has a good floor plan so, we can share with another family. Also, it was great that we could communicate with the property manager anytime. We’ll stay again next time.

Spring break ski trip

We stayed during my teenage boys school spring break and had a great time. The house was bigger than I expected and in a great location. The village shuttle picked us up right at the driveway and delivered us right at the Northstar village. The house had everything we needed and was perfect.

Great Familly home

Home was perfect in every aspect for us and our adult children, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the bottom floor had a very partiular odor that needs a profesional odor removal company.

Great Service!

Property management was very friendly and responsive. Had a question regarding the property the day before Thanksgiving and it was answered immediately. We were also invited to check-in early which was very thoughtful since we were driving from San Diego and getting ready for Thanksgiving. Property is very well located and well furnished! Very enjoyable stay.

Spacious home with lovely views

The family room window was perfect to watch the snowfall or the sunset. Shovels are available, if needed for snow removal; but, no real need as snow removal is done in the morning. Shuttle available to drive you into village. We brought our favorite flavor pods to use as there is a Keurig. Washer and dryer were nice as well

Great Location

Loved the property and the multiple bathrooms and bedrooms. All appliances worked great, and the kitchen was stocked with everything needed. The view was lovely, and we enjoyed the decks. My only reservations was the size of the tiny soap in the bath that melted after one use and not enough paper towels in the kitchen. Al in all, it was a wonderful family vacation.

Wonderful Family Weekend

Everyone really enjoyed this beautiful home. Very cozy with amazing views. It also had Keurig and regular coffee makers which some people might find helpful to know. The cooktop takes a long time to get hot - maybe needs new burners? But we got by. The family had the bedrooms and I slept on the couch in the tv room which was very comfortable.

Spacious and yet still cozy

This place has a rock and lumber cabin look, with an easy-to-light log fireplace. (Gas line helps easily start it up). Big table for hanging out and games, as well as eating. And of course the location is great. Just know that the shuttles are stopping at 6pm currently so you will need to Uber/Lyft if you eat/drink in the village of an evening.

Absolutely excellent. Lovely home in quiet street. Convenient to all activities we needed.

Easy to rent. Found this house in our price range and the description fit it to a t! Four adults and three children 2 1/2, 4 and 6. Perfect. Plenty of space to get away from each other and for everyone to have their own space. Love the quietness after a busy day sailing. Advantage of Northstar Recreation Center was a huge plus for all of us. Thank you again for a wonderful stay. We will be back.

Great House for a group

I brought my teenage grandson and his friends up for a ski weekend. The house was large and very comfortable. It was easy to get into the house, it was very clean, large, and had great amenities. The kitchen was well appointed. And it's very close to the ski lift area. There's a river out in the back behind the house that the boys had fun playing in after they skied. There's also access to the rec center and the boys enjoyed a soak in the hot tub after a day of play. This is a great house for a group of people and I would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you for letting us enjoy your home.
