Just Lovely

Review Submitted 12/15/12

This unit, like its owner, is just lovely. My family had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving here and the kids learnt ski at the North Star and said that this was probably the best family vacation they have had. Thank you Kathy! Looking forward to visit again in the summer :). Mark

Tough Mudder Retreat!

Guest Jac
Date of stay 09/21/12
Review Submitted 10/02/12

Two of my girlfriends and I signed up for Tough Mudder NorCal 2012. We were super lucky to find the Dexter Ski Trail condo. It is in walking distance to the Village as well as the gondola and lifts that brought us to our starting point for Tough Mudder. You can see the ski lift out the living room window...it was fun to watch and see all the participants heading up to the top of the mountain. The condo has an awesome kitchen (fully stocked with kitchen necessities). We were treated to coffee and an assortment of teas. We were able to relax pre and post Tough Mudder. Most amazing shower ever...not just because we were super dirty, stinking, and tired, but the bathrooms are nicely remodeled. We would definitely plan on staying here again...Perhaps Tough Mudder 2013...Ladies?!?!

Texans @ Northstar in Summer

Guest Dianna
Date of stay 07/24/12
Review Submitted 08/14/12

We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to this area. Kathy worked with us to customize our schedule and even emailed links to some of the activities in which we had expressed interest. We hiked, golfed, ran outdoors and enjoyed many activities at the beautiful recreation center including hot tubbing, tennis and using the fitness center. We fished with a guide on Lake Tahoe and Donner Lake. We spent several afternoons at Sand Harbor and Kings Beach. The water in Lake Tahoe is beautiful and quite a treat to get out of the Texas heat. The condo fit our family of four very nicely and it is decorated beautifully. Everything was just as it was promised and we had absolutely no problems or questions. There is a great Guest Directory that explains how everything operates. We had a lightbulb that needed replacing as well as a battery in a remote control and because everything was documented so well, we knew exactly where to find the replacements. Summer in Northstar was great but we hope to see it with snow sometime as well!

Great for tennis camp!

Guest Tennis Rookie
Date of stay 06/22/12
Review Submitted 07/10/12

The low-season rate for this two bedroom/two bath condo lined up with our week-long tennis camp plans and was a great bargain compared to any other near by condos. It was easier to walk to the village and the tennis camp at the rec center than it was to drive. The upgrade of the condo was to 1st class in all respects. We appreciated the owners attention to detail - especially in the kitchen, where we found everything we could ever need to prepare our meals. The lighting was well designed, and all on dimmers, which made it easy to adjust for TV or reading. It would be a nice romantic get away spot.

Beautiful Remodeled Condo In Perfect Location!!

Guest Jillian, Bill and the Boys
Date of stay 03/11/12
Review Submitted 03/19/12

We had a fantastic stay in this beautifully remodeled condo at Northstar. It is truly a ski in/ski out as it is the closest Ski Trails Condo to the Village Ski run. Walk down one set of stairs, put the skis on and you are at the Gondola within seconds. Easy ski in at the end of the day! Our boys loved being able to sled on the ski trail after the lifts closed and it was a 2 minute walk down to the Village for apres ski entertainment. The condo was perfect! Beautiful kitchen with everything you need to prepare gourmet meals. Lots of built in storage to keep everything neat while visiting. The beds were cozy and bathrooms were beautifully updated. Two other families in our travel party rented Ski Trails condos from the resort and ours was far and away better quality. We loved it and hope to be back next year!

Just perfect!

Our family of five stayed here for 5 days - and everything was just perfect! The condo itself is beautiful and it is clear that the owners take great pride in this property. The location couldn've been any better - ski in and out, walk to the village in 2 minutes, easy to access ... the kids loved watching the early morning activity on the slopes as they prepared for the skiers. Kathy went above and beyond to answer any questions that we had in preparation for the trip and made the condo itself so inviting and friendly. This was our first trip to Northstar and we were so impressed. It is truly a family resort and all of the Northstar employees (on the mountain or in the village) were the super friendly and totally customer centered. It will be hard to wait a full year until we come back!

Review Submitted 01/23/12

Our family of 5 stayed 4 nights at the Condo and found it to be exactly as decribed on the website and by reviewers. The Condo isn't massive, but the space has been well utilised so we fit no problem. The ski in ski out location was fantastic, and despite the lack of snow we still had a great time. Located a very short walk to the village and an even shorter ski to the Gondola. Would defintiely recommend to any family looking for this sort of accommodation, and we would have no hesitation going back. Kathy is very hospitable and eager to help make your stay enjoyable.

Gorgeous Home Away From Home

Guest erica

Review Submitted 09/21/11

We absolutely loved staying at this condo! The location is unbeatable! If you are visiting during ski season there is no better location than this condo. We stayed for a week in September, and were close to hiking trails and biking trails. The Truckee river is close by and beautiful Lake Tahoe is also a short car ride away. We were able to kayak on the lake, take numerous 'kid friendly' hikes and bike rides both along the river and near the lake. The Village at Northstar with all the shops and restaurants is just a few minutes walk away. The condo itself is absolutely gorgeous! It is cozy and rustic and beautifully decorated. The bathrooms are large and fully upgraded. The entryway with the big 'cubby' dresser, long bench, and coat hooks was beyond helpful in keeping all our things dry and organized...it made getting out of the house in the morning a breeze and getting home with tons of gear painless and messless. The view from the window is sooooooo fun! We watched mountain bikers fly down the hill and watching skiers and snowboarders would be amazing as well. Definitely one of the nicest places we have stayed in Lake Tahoe/Truckee. We can't wait to stay here again!

This condo is exactly as shown in the pictures. It's clean, updated and has everything you would need. Even the towels are white and perfectly clean. We were super happy with our stay here. Kathy was very easy to work with. The walk to the village or pool/rec center is less than 5 minutes. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your wonderful condo with us!

Review Submitted 08/09/10

This is a great and comfy condo located within walking distance of the Northstar Village. Perfect for a family of four. We enjoyed strolling to the village in the evenings for dinner and dessert. Especially loved the pizza at Rubicon! While at Northstar our family also enjoyed mountain biking, golf, and of course time at Lake Tahoe jet skiing and paddle boarding, which is just a short drive from the condo. Kathy was great and easy to work with. She helped get our reservation set up with very short notice on our behalf. We would absolutely recommend this property to friends and relatives.

We were enticed by the photos and were pleased to find the place lived up to them. It is beautifully remodeled, tastefully and comfortably furnished. The location is unbeatable... the ski in/ski out access made the trip so much more fun with our 2 daughters. Kathy was great to work with. We'll be back.

The Dexter's lovely Ski Trails condo served our every need. Furniture is comfortable and attractive, towels and bedding are plush, kitchen appliances/gadgets and dishes are plentiful and new. We were extremely comfortable and enjoyed our week-long vacation very much.

Kathy, we had a great time last weekend at your place. The location was perfect. The ski-in/ski-out ability made it really great for our young children. I'm usually exhausted by the time we are on the slope, but this was super easy and allowed us to come and go as needed. You guys did an awesome job on the remodel. We were very comfortable, and we had a really great time. Thanks, Paul

This was a wonderful condo for a family of 4. The decor and attention to details was amazingly high-end. It had all of the conviences that one could ask for plus more. My husband had to conduct some business during our trip - everything was there that he needed: high-speed internet, copy & fax machine. We loved the convience of the ski in-out ability and the 5 minute walk to the Village. We are looking forward to our next visit.

This is a place for those that enjoy and respect quality. It is obvious that the owners have put their personal touches into the decor and ambiance in their vacation home. We enjoyed the close proximity to the village & the ski in, ski out abilty. We will definitely be back! We would highly recommend it as long as it doesn't interfere with our own vacation schedule (just kidding).

This place is a spectacular unit! The remodel is actually better than the Village condo's in my opinion. The owner Kathy Dexter was so helpful, and considerate as well. It is very cozy and extremely convienent to be so close to the Village for fun/dinner. We came back to the condo each day for lunch, because we could just ski in and out. We knew we had friends at Northstar the same weekend, and low and behold...we opened up the blinds the first morning and there they were skiing down the run! It was really awesome to talk to them through the window :) The folks passing by on the lift are all very nice too... they all wave as they go by..haha! Very fun and relaxing place, and I will be back. Thank you Kathy!

This condo is PERFECT, right on the village run, easy on and off the slopes. Perfect especially when you have kids - no driving or loading all up on a shuttle bus. And, the condo has all you need to be right at home, not a hotel or ski crash pad experience. When you have so few weekends to ski, and you get to Northstar, it's wonderful all is perfect when you arrive. The owner is very friendly, responsive and flexible if possible. We'll definitely be back.
