Summit Pine Lodge at Northstar

We are two families with teens who enjoy skiing together. This comfortable 4 bedroom house right on the North Star Shuttle (pick up and drop off on demand to your driveway!) made it easy for us to come and go on different schedules, and the big living room was great for hanging out together apres ski. Yes, the decor is a bit dated, bedding a bit worn but everything very clean, and we would be delighted to stay here again.

Excellent area for group stays with activities nearby for all ages. Property is on golf course and house has all the necessities but decor is really dated. We had 6 adult couples but beds good for 4 as other beds are sofa or bunk/twin. Smoke from a forest fire forced us to close windows 1 night so house was too warm. Overall a pleasant family stay.

The property is lovely, had plenty of room. Children enjoyed outdoor activities while at the house. The bedrooms were spacious. It is located close to grocery shopping, Resturants, and Lake Tahoe activities. Spent time at Kings Beach and Tahoe City, also took an afternoon ride on the Tahoe Gal.

My impression is that the company running the home is unaware of many of its problems and idiosyncrasies in the home owner requirements and benefits. It says it sleeps 10, but it only sleeps 4 comfortably--mattresses are not good, the twin room has a thumping sound that goes on in the middle of the night, the guests on the pull out double found the floor more comfortable as did the one in the bunk room. There were only six chairs in dining room table and they were awkward. There were no liners for garbage, ceiling fan did not work, insufficient dish detergent, and wrong coffee filters. The rec center cost twice as much as posted (and 25% more than I was informed when booking the place though the increase had been made 6 months earlier). The instructions on fridge out of date, key safe was difficult to close. On the plus side, the staff did come by and make adjustments to much of this--bringing a fan, liners, coffee filters etc... Also on the plus side was being able to have our dog there, though I think next time we might leave him home to get a more comfortable stay at those prices.

Overall the house is as advertised. Maybe no quite as updated as some of the other houses in the area, but very cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a ski trip. Great value and great location. My only issue was the lighting. a lot of the light bulbs are too white rather than a warm light and that could kind of throw off the cozy feel of the cabin.

Only two things, the bed still had dog hairs so good thing I always bring my own sheets. Did not know that we would have to drive to a near location to take the ALL trash out. This should be done by the cleaning crew. Other than that the place was great!

lovely stay! some essentials were missing but overall an awesome place, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a large group so it was cozy and nice to spend time together. The kitchen and the dining area, however, are very small. The property’s manager could be nicer and friendlier. I called the day before asking to check in around 3pm instead of 4pm and was told yes. We showed up at 3:15pm and couldn’t get in. Then there was no internet so I had to call her back. Before checking out, I called to make sure where we would put the trash, she sternly scolded “I told you to leave them in the garage “We liked the area but probably won’t be back.

The only thing was the location it was kind of far to some places. And also kind of complicated to arrive to recreation center. But it was great experience Thank you for everything

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was great for our family Thanksgiving trip. It wasn't too big or small, it was just perfect. There was 9 of us with 2 toddlers and it fit all of us comfortably. We were able to all hang out in the TV room together and still be comfortable. The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Sheri and Kristi were very friendly and extremely quick to respond. Thank you for a great trip!
