    As those who travel with their 4-legged friends will appreciate, finding a clean and beautiful rental that takes any pets, let alone 2 dogs, is very difficult. This location did not disappoint. It is a clean comfortable home with all the amenities. It's close to the NorthStar resort and we had a lovely birthday celebration at the Ritz (with our dogs). Couldn't have asked for better! The walking paths were also a plus -right outside the door!

    I don’t often leave reviews but everything about this property (location, layout, cleanliness, stocked kitchen, views!) was excellent. We had a great time. Hope to come back soon.

    We had a fantastic stay in this home! It was spacious, clean, and offered a beautiful view of the open golf course. We especially loved the layout, with the master bedroom upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs, plus a cozy hangout room. The hot tub was the perfect way to relax after a day of skiing. The Northstar shuttle system was incredibly convenient—just download the app, and a van picks you up right at your door to take you to the mountain. We’re definitely coming back to this house!

    Had a great stay at this North Star cabinGreat views from the living room Great location to the village and shuttle literally picks/drops you from the cabins’ front door Only thing to be aware is there are coyotes that came to the edge of the property where golf course is so be careful - we had a small dog so kept it on leash Cabin was very clean and cozy and great fireplace and hot tub was perfect !

    Had a really nice stay. The house is clean and well-maintained. Has a bright, open feel that is even better than the pics. Shuttle access for the slopes is a huge plus. Definitely coming back.

    We had a wonderful say even with a rainy week. Property was great. Only issue my wife and I had was there were more steps than we anticipated. On a very positive note, the access to the community center pool and gym made it easier to get past the rain. There was also easy access to the golf course which had no snow so we could take some great walks with our dog.

    This house had everything we needed and was in the perfect location for our family. We were checked on several times during our stay and the staff handled any requests promptly for us. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the beautiful views from the porch. Thank you for making our stay in Lake Tahoe such a wonderful experience.
