I couldn't see how to add a comment on the website....We had a wonderful stay with 6 adults and 4 preschoolers--it was just right for us. We were so grateful for the generous supply of dishes, utensils, napkins, etc. And also, there was plenty of SPACE for our use. The beds were all comfortable and cozy. The Northstar shuttle was perfect and quick. Being able to go out the back door to do some sledding and some snowshoeing was a bonus! Everything was working and clean. No problems. We'll definitely go back again.Ricki and Doug San Mateo

This house was great for our family ski trip. We had 3 couples with a total of 3 kids and the house was a great fit. The shuttle service into Northstar picks you up right at the house. The house is clean and well stocked for all of one's needs.

Our first family vacation as 4 generations.....The home is incredible! Just the right amount of spaces for each of us. We love the gorgeous view of the Martis Valley and the serenely natural backyard. (Enjoyed the trails out back, too.) We wouldn't change a thing, except maybe to stay longer.

We had a wonderful family trip up to Northstar the last weekend of March 2008. We had 8 adults and two preschool-age kids. Everyone was so comfortable in theri rooms. We cooked almost every meal in the very well-equipped kitchen. The kids sledded in the backyard and rode the zip-line. We really enjoyed the Village at Northsar with great access via on-call shuttles. We will definitely be back next year.

We had a wonderful time staying at the property in Northstar. Everything was working perfectly and the house was very clean when we arrived. It was lovely to have the fire lit when we walked in. There was 2 foot of snow the night after we arrived (the skiing was the best in over 4 years!). The snow clearing chap came on the Sunday morning and cleared the drive – this was great as it meant we got a full days skiing that day. (amazing powder snow!). Thanks for a wonderful stay.
