5 Star Luxury Exec Family Home - Covered Hot-Tub, Walk to Village & Ski Lift/AC

Great house with lots of space. Loved the huge tv and plenty of kitchen supplies for a group. The property needs some maintenance for it to be rented at that price point. Upstairs master shower didn't drain. Dishwasher needs to be leveled so racks don't roll out at you. Light bulb needs to be changed under cabinet at microwave. Light bulb needs to be changed in upstairs master bath. Fan doesn't work in shared upstairs bathroom.

Check in was super easy. The place is clean, well laid out, with enough room for multiple people to have their own space while at the same time having a large dining area, large living room/sitting area, and large deck for everybody to get together. More bikes, scooters, balls, puzzles, games, beach chairs, books, other stuff than you can possibly take advantage of in less than a week. The kitchen has top of the line appliances, with more different pots, pans, utensils, knives, plates, glasses, etc. than you are likely to use (but they are all there if and when you need them). Beds super comfortable, hot tub great, washer/dryer first class. Can't say enough. Just 10/10 in every way.

Really great family home in close proximity to the Northstar Village. We were very comfortable and would definitely rent again with our kids!

Great house. Wonderful for a family reunion.

Very nice, great location!

Wonderful place for our family to stay over a summer vacation. Plenty of space, fun games for the whole family. Had everything we needed!

We had such an incredible time at this Northstar home. It has everything you need for summer fun - SUPs and bikes and water toys. The pool is quite nice, and we've stayed in most of the HOAs with pools in the area--this was our favorite. The home itself was perfect for a family with teens who enjoyed the separate upstairs den while we could relax on the deck or the other living room area. Easy walk to the village with food options and roller skating. Or an easy 15 minute drive into Kings Beach at lake tahoe or Truckee. For us, with friends in the area, the central location was key. I hope we can come back soon!

Very lovely, clean and easy home to stay for my family and me. Lots of space upstairs and downstairs. Super helpful to have 4 full bathrooms (2 downstairs and 2 upstairs). The playroom/game space was great for the kids. Lots of toys, although quite a few were pretty old and falling apart. My kids (1 year old and 3 year old) loved playing with the play food and kitchen but were also fascinated by the stairs which are right outside the playroom. The AC units work okay in the bedrooms but it got pretty stuffy at night and only some windows have screens, so we couldn’t open as many windows as we would have liked. There also aren’t a ton of places to play outside since you’re in the forest (obviously) and it’s tough to walk around due to pretty steep roads (need a car/shuttle to get to the Northstar Village or anywhere). Also take note that the bed in the master bedroom downstairs is about 4 feet off the ground. If you have elderly people or folks with limited mobility staying with you, they’ll probably have some difficulty with the downstairs bedroom (like my parents did). Overall we enjoyed the house but did want to mention some of the above things we noticed during our stay.

We’re an active family of five that has booked nearly a dozen VRBO trips in the North Star area, but this experience was disappointing. Ironically, VRBO advertises the ability to “experience a home without the owner,” yet this rental felt like we had walked into someone’s personal cabin while they were still living there.The house was cluttered with personal items in the garage, hallways, and bedrooms. Kitchenware was mismatched and unclean, requiring rewashing. The fireplace lacked kindling and wood, making it difficult to start a fire. A visibly full Dyson vacuum was hanging in the kitchen/dining area, and the master bedroom fireplace was broken. The upstairs was filled with old toys, games, and puzzles—some might appreciate the access, but it added to the feeling that this was someone’s lived-in home rather than a properly managed rental.Additionally, the advertised “walk” to the village is actually a steep and poorly marked hike, especially when snow is present. It’s not suitable for toddlers, ski boots, or elderly guests, and we ended up having to drive instead.Advice for Future Renters: If you’re expecting a professionally managed rental, this may not be the best choice. Be prepared for a home that feels very lived-in, and plan to drive to the village rather than walk.

Two small families on an annual trip, we loved this house. Short walk to Home Run and fun ski through the homes to get back to the cul-de-sac. Plenty of space and well appointed.

This was the perfect place for our extended family of 10 to stay for a ski weekend.

We were a group of friends with kids and this place was perfect. Spacious, very well-equipped, and close to the Highlands gondola plus free on-demand shuttle to the village that picks you up at the house. Communication with the host was great, though staying here over MLK, it wasn’t possible to get a minor technical issue in the kitchen resolved promptly — but that wasn’t a huge issue. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here very much!

We absolutely loved our stay at this Northstar home! It was cozy and comfortable, in a 5 star location, and our host was wonderful!

The perfect home for families with children. Huge comfy beds and linens and a wonderful kitchen stocked with all the items to cook some fabulous meals. The upstairs was perfect for our children with so much space for them to play. Great communication and so conveniently located in Northstar with a shuttle service for easy skiing.

Comfortable and beautiful home convenient to Northstar village and ski slopes.

Everything as advertised. All great.

Great home in great location. Very comfortable and nice amenities.

The house was perfect for our family. The bedrooms were roomy with plenty of drawers and closet space. Amazing natural light throughout the home. Great playroom where we were also able to set up a work space. The hot tub was a nice bonus. The kitchen was also great. We cooked breakfasts and dinners every day. The location was also great. We were close to downtown Truckee and the Lake, where we enjoyed numerous activities including kayaking, swimming and the adjacent playground.

The house was beautiful and so comfortable. We had a wonderful time.
