"The house was amazing!! It met all our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!! Beds were comfy, amenities were great! We weren't fond of the over sophisticated lighting system, but we managed to deal with it. We would absolutely stay here again, and hopefully will in the future!"

Vacation condo in Northstar village. Perfect location overlooking the mountain.

10/10 Excellent

"This rental was beautiful. We went with friends so 4 adults and 3 kids. There was plenty of space for everyone. We used the kitchen a lot and it was well stocked. The location was a dream. We loved enjoying the patio and watching the roller skaters. The check in process was a little tough as we got there after 9:00 and the parking pass that was left for us didn’t work. The hotel staff were able to get us in. Other than the one hiccup the trip was perfect and we would love to stay here again!"

A Golden Getaway | Pool, Hot Tub, Tennis, & More

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! It overlooks the base of the gondola. It was clean when we arrived. I believe it was two queens and a twin bed. I didn't realize that there was a loft that had one of the queen beds and the twin in it that you had to climb up a ladder to get to. That may have been an oversight on my part.I'm used to there being some kitchen essentials there when we arrive. Maybe some salt and pepper, a few spices, and a little coffee. We couldn't find any of that. We were only there for two nights, so that was no big deal.I don't usually go to Tahoe in the summer time, but this was the perfect location to access the hiking/biking trails! My pup and i were able to walk out"
