The home is very comfortable and in a great location, but some key items are not there. Lots of pillows and extra bedding but no pillow cases. Minimal cookware and only a sponge to clean them - no brush or scrubbing pads, only 1 flimsy pot holder, etc. This home had lots of potential but needs better provisions. ##### Kelly K.

The rental company personnel we worked with were very helpful. However, this house is a tired, old ski cabin at best and a dreary dump in honest terms. If all you are interested in is a place to sleep, it has four bedrooms. However, the kitchen is poorly equipped for anything more than morning coffee; the bathrooms are dismal and small (bring your own towels); the lighting is poor, the furniture old, and the front door makes a horror movie sound every time you open or close it. The floors are plastic, fake wood and parts of the floor sink when stepped on. But it has four bedrooms... ##### william J. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lise S. Mar 24, 2024 #### The Previous Reviews were True Our recent stay at the house fell short of our expectations, primarily due to cleanliness oversights and maintenance issues that detracted from our experience. It was apparent that the housekeeper focused solely on surface areas, neglecting crucial details that significantly impacted our comfort. Among the oversights, we discovered a pair of Tiffany’s eyeglasses left behind by a previous guest in the bathroom, indicating a lack of thorough inspection between stays. Additionally, behind the toilet, remnants of small trash persisted, suggesting inadequate cleaning procedures. Furthermore, we found a used face towel in the upstairs bathroom, adorned with someone else's hair and indications of alternative use, which was unsettling. Further adding to our disappointment, a sippy cup from a previous guest was found in the bedroom, reflecting oversight in the cleaning process. Even the mudroom had trash hidden beneath the cushion, which we encountered while ensuring we hadn't left anything behind. Though we disposed of the used wrappers we found, it highlighted the need for a more meticulous cleaning routine. On top of these cleanliness concerns, upon arrival, we noticed a broken cabinet door, indicating a lack of attention to maintenance. Moreover, the WiFi connection was unreliable throughout our stay, causing inconvenience. To exacerbate matters, the extra blankets provided were filled with sand and dog hair, leaving us feeling gross after unwittingly using them. While we understand that the house doesn't need to be new, cleanliness and basic amenities are essential for a satisfactory stay. We hope that these issues are promptly addressed to enhance the experience for future guests. ##### Lise S. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stephen M. Feb 11, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Wanted. Period. Peri... Competent cleaning stuff! The cleaning fee was over $200 for our three night stay. When we arrived there is a tangerine slice about 6 inches from the back of the sofa in plain view on the floor. Underneath the sofa there was some sort of nuts like almonds and there was quite a bit of dust. On the kitchen floor in front of the refrigerator was a blue toothpaste cap and again some dust bunnies. Most alarming was when my wife and I went to bed after a nice evening sitting by the fireplace. We crawled between the sheets at about 11:30 pm and found what I initially thought was some sort of dirt or small grams of sand. That material turned out to be crumbs. Closer inspection showed that the sheets and bedding linens did not appear to have been changed. Also, my pillow had a bubblegum smell to it and my wife’s had no scent whatsoever….but none of the bedding smelled cleaned or freshly laundered. We checked the adjacent bedroom, pulled back to covers and found crumbs maybe along the lines of potato chip crumbs or Cheez-it type crackers. So here it is 11:30 PM and we were forced to wash sheets and the mattress cover. It was 2:30 AM before we were able to crawl back into bed and feel comfortable and clean in our sleep. On the morning of our checkout time which was at 10 AM, I started loading my truck. When I walked outside there was a black SUV stopped in front of the driveway with its right turn signal on signaling that it apparently wanted to park in the driveway. They were there for approximately 5 to 10 minutes as I was making trips in and out to load luggage and other items into my truck. This SUV made me feel uneasy and rushed which should not have happened. I also felt that a 10 AM check out time was not really reasonable if you’re trying to stay and relax. And 11 AM check out time would be much more reasonable and less pressure. I will say that the location is excellent, the house is very cute and well laid out. However because of the aforementioned negative issues I would not stay at this property again. ##### Stephen M.

Jan 10, 2023 #### Nice location good layout Solid cabin and nice layout for 4br. Kitchen is a little sparse but we read reviews ahead of time and brought some extra things, including throw blankets. Beds were comfortable and the kids even built a little slide in the snow in the back. It’s not luxury but not sure it’s advertised as such. Cabin through and through and we would definitely stay there again! ##### Kristin B. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Joseph S. Aug 22, 2022 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Not Great Experience Staying Overall, me and my friends had a pretty bad experience with our stay here. The house was fairly clean when we arrived, however, it got very hot inside, which we were anticipating, but there was no AC and ceiling fans did not help much. The very first night we were there, at 11pm the carbon monoxide alarm went off and woke everyone up in the house, including our infant daughter who had just fell asleep. The fire department showed up and confirmed the alarm was broken, and it was against the law to not have it working. When we reached out to the owners, they confirmed it would be fixed the next day, but that never happened. The wi-fi was super slow, and very hard to connect to, which made it very difficult for the few of us working. Also, pretty gross, you could hear something running around in the walls (likely rats), mostly when you were sleeping or showering. Really hope there is some way to get a partial refund, but needless to say we will not be staying here again. ##### Joseph S.

It had everything we needed and was in a great location. ##### Ronald S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rose v. Aug 1, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Adorable space that needs some TLC I love VRBO stays and have booked many stays through these sites with family and friends all over the world. Sizing and amenities obviously vary by location but there are a couple of qualifiers that will make me want to come back. This particular home is in a great location, minutes to walking trails and North Star shopping and dining. It is cozy as the description states but plenty of room to house 8 people very comfortably. The loft space with tv and sitting area was perfect for the teens and my husband and I enjoyed our space downstairs and on the two patios. Having said that, the house is dated and with the exception of a couple of updates looks like it hasn't been renovated since it was built in the 1980s. Also, when we first walked in, I could smell bug spray which had likely been just applied by the cleaning crew. I understand we were staying in the middle of the woods but when you wake up to find dead bugs in the kitchen each morning as you're grabbing your coffee, it sort of takes away from the experience. Biggest issue I think we had was the cleanliness - I do believe that the basics are being done in terms of surface cleaning but there was either dust (plenty on the mantel) or it's not being cleaned thoroughly after pets stay there as we noticed animal hair left on the sofa pillows. Half our group suffered with stuffy noses and itchy eyes. I would absolutely welcome staying there once it goes through some nice updates as that and the cleanliness of the property were the only things that took away from this cozy gem. ##### Rose v.

Apr 7, 2022 #### cozy and convenient We loved this super cozy place. Lots of indoor and outdoor space, nooks for reading or hanging out, and we found the furniture and beds to be very comfortable. Shuttle gets you to Northstar village in just a few minutes. Everything was clean and in good shape, host was responsive. Bonus - easily the best book selection of any place we've rented. One drawback - if you plan to do your own cooking, there isn't much equipment for that. ##### Timothy N. ### 8/10 Good #### Laura G.

Jul 25, 2021 #### Great Summer Trip Really enjoyed our stay here. The house gave us access to the Rec Center and their fantastic pool. Easy access to hiking and biking trails, as well as the Northstar village. Super close to the Truckee River, and the lake. House was super comfortable. ##### James T.

The beds were comfortable. The appliances are fairly new. Northstar Village was a five minute drive away. If you like to cook, you need to bring your tools with you. You can reheat, assemble, and serve, but there are limited pan and cooking utensil options--like a decent frying pan. I had to be creative to make scrambled eggs. ##### Tricia S. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16130.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-I.h661796.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntington-Beach-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Huntington-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h890502.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h23876.Hotel-Information) > > [Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miramonte-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16768.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Embarc-Palm-Desert.h328421.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Mission Hills Resort & Villas for COACHELLA 2020 (1st weekend)](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Cochella-Stay-At-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Resort-Villas.h34078793.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Anaheim, CA](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Anaheim.h14910044.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Renaissance-Esmeralda-Resort-Spa.h12274.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Paradise-Point-Resort-Spa.h3731.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Half-Moon-Bay-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h602927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Golf-Resort-Spa.h4124.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Orange County](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Orange-County.h15965.Hotel-Information) > > [San Diego Mission Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-San-Diego-Mission-Bay-Resort.h25598.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel and Swim Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-And-Swim-Club.h22864.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn By Marriott Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Palm-Desert.h201084.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Mission-Bay-Spa-And-Marina.h858.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Oasis-Resort.h1180912.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Garden-Grove.h519819.Hotel-Information) > > [Solage, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Calistoga-Hotels-Solage.h1640078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-II.h57218.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim South](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Anaheim-South.h662857.Hotel-Information)
