Great Pet Friendly Get-away!

As those who travel with their 4-legged friends will appreciate, finding a clean and beautiful rental that takes any pets, let alone 2 dogs, is very difficult. This location did not disappoint. It is a clean comfortable home with all the amenities. It's close to the NorthStar resort and we had a lovely birthday celebration at the Ritz (with our dogs). Couldn't have asked for better! The walking paths were also a plus -right outside the door!

Family Ski Weekend

We had a fantastic stay in this home! It was spacious, clean, and offered a beautiful view of the open golf course. We especially loved the layout, with the master bedroom upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs, plus a cozy hangout room. The hot tub was the perfect way to relax after a day of skiing. The Northstar shuttle system was incredibly convenient—just download the app, and a van picks you up right at your door to take you to the mountain. We’re definitely coming back to this house!

Northstar Home Away From Home

We had the most amazing 4 days at Northstar Home Away From Home! It is such a beautiful home with so much space and amazing views. Everything was impeccably clean and the home was comfortable and inviting. Northstar ski resort is literally a few minutes drive and Palisades only 30 minutes. We honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect "home base" for our skiing adventures and Tahoe getaway. We will absolutely be recommending this rental to friends and family and hope to return ourselves someday!
