Skii Trip
This home was great, we had 6 people stay comfortably! It was a very cozy home and very close to Northstar where we skied and snowboarded. Enjoyed watching 3 feet of snow fall while sitting by the fireplace watching TV and playing cards.

Beautiful Cabin
We truly loved our stay at this beautiful cabin! It was worth every penny! We loved how open spacious it was and loved the big windows and high ceilings! The inside was nice & clean! Very comfortable beds as well, we enjoyed staying there & the kitchen was fully equipped we cooked there every night we stayed there. The rec center was perfect & there was ice skating at the Northstar as well we took our family & we all enjoyed it as well. Everything was close by & we didn’t have a hard time with anything. The owner was responsive as well when I had a question. Overall I would come back as I already had recommended it to my family & friends & so many asked about it as I posted pictures it was breathtaking!

Lots of space
The cabin was in a great location and had lots of open space on the main level. Loved the back deck and the spacious front deck.

Mostly pleasant
The cabin was pleasant, and as described. The location was great. North Star resort is our go to area in Truckee. The kitchen was great, and was stocked with everything necessary to cook for our group. The only issues we found, were the beds. They were not comfortable. Highly uneven mattresses in multiple rooms. That is a big deal for me. Unless that was something that was updated in the future on the property, I would not stay here again for that reason alone. Also, I know that there are many cabins that don’t have central AC because it normally doesn’t get that hot, or at the very least the temps drop enough at night for the outside air to cool you off if you open the windows. However, it does get hot during the summer and it gets very warm inside the home. Especially on the second floor. There are standing portable fans in pretty much every room, except the living area. It was too hot for our taste. The only relief we got was being away on the water. This is something we will be sure to look for on other listings before booking. Otherwise it was mostly pleasant and the property manager was readily available, and answered us when contacted.

Beautiful property near lots of attractions!
The owner was so kind and quick to take care of a heating issue we had on our first night, the property itself was gorgeously furnished and decorated with a wonderful kitchen for a chef or two, and decks for our small children to play on while we were getting dinner prepared. The property has spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, all with many amenities and items we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked with spices and utensils for cooking, which was very convenient. The front and back yards were also great for our kids to experience snow days. Would love to stay here again!

fantastic spot on Northstar Resort
Our group of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids) had a fantastic time over Labor Day weekend. The place was very clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. We really enjoyed spending time on the deck. The free shuttle to Northstar village and the community center amenities were awesome. We will definitely be coming back!

A True Mountain Cabin....
Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but I am giving the cabin 4 stars because of the road noise coming from the main road into Northstar. I wished we had known about it. The noise was enough that we didn't feel we could use the back deck, and it was distracting when sleeping with the windows open at night. It did calm down during the week, but it was still there. I know no one else mentions it, and its probably not an issue in the winter, but in the heat of summer, we really heard it. The other thing we noticed is that the steps onto the main level of the cabin are a little steep, and might be a challenge to an older person or someone with larger feet/shoes. Otherwise, the cabin is just as pictured; the library is great; the front deck was amazing; it was easy to get in touch with management; the beds and linens were comfy; it was well stocked (including fans which we needed because the weather was hot and smoky!); it was super easy to get to the rec center and village; our boys ages 11 and 7 loved it; and the cabin did provide that old school yet modern mountain cabin feel.

This was a terrific family getaway!
We hiked, went to the lake, lounged at the pool, played golf and enjoyed our house, especially the beautiful decks. Loved the fast shuttle service! Natalie was terrific and answered questions quickly. We’ll be back!

Perfect home!
We loved the communal areas on the two decks. The rec center exceeded expectations and the owners were very attentive and accommodating.

Cozy and convenient
This cabin was perfect for our multi family stay. There is enough room to spread out and be comfortable. The decorating made it feel so welcoming and it was evident that thought and time went in to every detail. We can’t wait to come back and stay longer. The only reason for 4 stars is that there was not a jacuzzi at the cabin.

Lovely and comfortable
The layout of the house and it's proximity to the village are perfect. Bathrooms toilets could be replaced and housekeeping can use more elbow grease in their cleaning. House and bedrooms comfy.

Great location and wonderful house for family and friends
We spent the week with family at Tahoe. Truckee is a fun location with good restaurants and lots to do. Lake Tahoe is a short drive and there are several places to rent boats. The village and Rec center at Northstar are worth visiting for swimming, hiking, restaurants and shopping. We'll be back next year !!

Beautiful cabin, great location, and nice amenities.
We rented the cabin for our annual family vacation. Upon arrival, we were immediately impressed with the asthetics of the cabin and the warm, personal touches. The cabin is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood which is easily accessible and walking distance from Northstar Village. We cook most of our family meals so we were very happy with the well-equipped kitchen. The living space is very comfortable for a large group. We enjoyed watching movies on the large flat screen TV and drinks on the deck at sunset. The cabin is centrally located to trails and beaches and only a one hour drive from South Shore. The contact person during our stay provided prompt and excellent customer service. We would definitely rent the cabin again.

Disappointed
The home was pretty much as described and spacious with a good location. We had occasion to call the contact person twice and her English speaking and comprehension was. very poor. She never called us back as promised, the place could have been cleaner. When removing the downstairs master bedroom sheets, it was noted to have blood on the mattress pad that did not come from our family. For the cleaning fee we paid, we should have been able to leave the clean dishes in dishwasher.

Beautiful cabin!
This was a gorgeous cabin, well maintained and so thoughtfully decorated. We used the front and back porches daily and the rec center was a great surprise- hours of entertainment. The owner sent a personal welcome and was very responsive to a few questions that came up during our visit- I would recommend to anyone and will be back!
