As always Northstar is a great place to stay when in the Tahoe Truckee area. This place was a nice shape and I wouldn't hesitate rebooking on my next trip out this way!

Thank you for taking the time to review, Sarah! Great guest experiences are something we always strive for at AvantStay. We greatly appreciate your feedback!
We enjoyed our time at this property. The kitchen and family room are great. Disliked the lack of bathroom on the main floor, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Would stay again!

We truly appreciate your valuable feedback and we'll improve more in the future. Thank you for being great guests and taking such good care of our property and we would love to have you back soon!
This condo was beautiful and better than expected. The layout was very nice inside. Super clean all the amenities you want. And just a short walk to the Northstar village. Parking could not have been easier. The unit is not too far from the parking lot so you do not have to haul your baggage very far. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for the review! We are so glad to hear our customer service team was able to assist with any questions you had during your stay. We hope to be able to host you all again in the near future!
5 star for Avantstay staff's responsiveness and availability with the issues we had during our stay. 1 less star for issues that we had which were out of control of Avantstay and could happen in any rental. Location is excellent with free access to the Northstar shuttle (which is available at the bus stop in the parking lot and use of Northstar app), unless there's snow and HOA doesn't remove the gates according to bus drivers and neighbors. I hope that gets resolved for future guests. HOA pool, spa, gym and game room were a little bit hard to find, tucked in NE corner near gated LPOA parking lot area, near Northstar club and Timber Creek Lodge parking lot, and cost $8pp to use. Kitchen could use more eating utensils. Great that rental had slow cooker, humidifier, outdoor bbq grill. The welcome gifts from Avantstay is a nice touch.

We checked in this property after 7 hours of driving and I found dog furs and a lot of sand or dust on the pull out bed and living room carpet. It’s clearly showed they never vacuumed before we checked in. My son ended up sleep on the floor first night. I’m a dog owner and I understand they sheds, but the amount of the fur on the bed and carpets are clearly showed they never vacuum before. I contacted property magnet for asking cleaning and they sent us cleaning crew next day but they didn’t clean the area I need them clean.
You don’t want to see this after long drive and I ended up sharing queen bed with my teenager son entire stay. Imagine if you are not pet owner and check in this property after long drive.

Happy you enjoyed your stay, Fredna! We'd love to host you again next time.
To say this was one of the best properties we have stayed in is an understatement. Very clean, comfortable mattresses, great proximity to trails and very timely communication from the owner made our stay lovely.
We struggle to find clean properties with comfortable mattresses and this one checked both boxes. We look forward to staying in this property very soon.
