10/10 Excellent

"Great spot!"

2 Bedroom 1 Bath Ski-In Ski-Out Northstar Ski Trails Condo On Slope-Near Village

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place and great location right above the Big Springs Express Gondola!Perfect for a mountain biking weekend. The property was clean, very neat, and perfect for the two of us, but it could easily accommodate more.Guests should know there is no AC, but that wasn’t a problem as the weekend was fairly cool. Access to Netflix and Disney was a great amenity.The hosts, Al and Debbie, were very responsive. Will definitely stay there again!"

The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good

"$37 for a martini was a bit much. Trash in the hall way and a leaky hallway ceiling were on two different floors. Poop bags were not replaced during my three day stay. This was at the lawn in the back. The door to get to that lawn is not accessible with a room key forcing people with their dogs to walk all the way to the side doors. We used a rock to prop the door open so we could get back in. The staff was fantastic in all departments."

Luxurious 5000 sf Northstar Home - Incredible Game Room & Four King Bed Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay! Our group of 14 had plenty of space, and the property was beautiful, comfortable, and perfect for a large group. The game room was a total game changer and honestly one of the reasons we chose this house—the kids absolutely loved having their own space to hang out and play, which meant the adults could actually relax too! The location was great, the house had everything we needed, and it was the perfect setup for our Tahoe trip. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it for families or larger groups!"

Luxury Village at Northstar Residence w/ Ski Valet - Northstar Lodge 304

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about the property and location was excellent. Furnishings and decor were comfortable and classy. The kitchen was equipped with all the basics and beyond. All upscale appliances including Viking stove and cooktop.The only glitch in the host communication was that there were several directions about no charge parking for a second car, none of which were correct. According to the front desk, the only place for a second vehicle is in the garage at a charge of 25/day. There is no outdoor option for free parking. All other communication was thorough and prompt.We would definitely stay there again."
