    Great house - clean, well appointed, comfortable. Decorated xmas tree was a great touch. Fresh snow on Christmas Eve day was a bonus!

    The house was lovely, clean, and well located. The Northstar neighborhood offers a lot of great services, including a free, on demand shuttle and walking trails up to the village area. Only complaints were the beds. All of the adults had mostly sleepless nights from poor quality mattresses and pillows. Would have been five stars, otherwise.

    We had a great time. The house is sizable and was perfect for our needs. The proximity to Northstar with their bus service made it easy for everyone to follow their own schedules.

    The location is beautiful and very convenient to everything you want to do - golf, the Lake, downtown Truckee, river rafting, hiking. The property is on a cul-de-sac, so it’s very private with lots of space and a nice hiking trail just behind the house. The house is beautiful with plenty of space for a large group. The family room is comfortable and big. We had a great time, the only negative was the floors were dusty and not so clean and the carpet needed vacuuming. We tried using the vacuum but it had almost no suction and didn’t work. Communication with the host was very good. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed if you want to cook. Overall, a great place and would definitely recommend it.

    Property was amazing. We had such a great time. There was so much to do. Close by was horseback riding, and rafting. Could not have been better.

    This was our second time booking this property and our family ages 14-70 really enjoyed our stay which was a 50th wedding anniversary trip for my parents. The home is beautiful and well maintained and provides all the comforts of home. We look forward to another return trip in the future.

    This is one of those special rental homes where the description and pictures in the listing under-represent the quality of the actual property itself! Our family greatly enjoyed the NorthStar/Tahoe lifestyle in large part due to this Luxury Tree Lodge. This multi-level cabin is in a cul-de-sac, so it is very quiet and secluded. The house is quite spacious and easily accommodated our family of 7 adults and 2 kids. The furnishings are top-notch and comfy, and the decor unique. The kitchen was well-appointed with fully-functioning appliances and cookware, and we were able to expertly prepare/serve all our meals in-house with great satisfaction and ease. There is ample lighting throughout the home, and ceiling fans are strategically placed throughout the home to move warm air during the summer months (we rented in July). A large two-car garage housed our two suv-s while a 3rd car parked in the driveway. There is a forested hill immediately behind the house that leads to a hiking/biking trail that will take you directly into the N-Star Village at the top of the hill. Sheri and Kristi promptly answered the couple of questions we had and made us feel very welcome during our entire stay. All in all, this is a superb vaca home and invites repeat stays - a five-star property for sure and highly recommended!
