The house is well appointed, well located, and well priced. It’s not luxurious, but it is well appointed. We had one hiccup with our stay which our host graciously took care off. Happy to recommend this house and host.
We enjoyed the location and spaciousness of the rental home. Had everything we needed to support our needs!
Host was responsive to our requests.

Great gathering place!
Our family enjoyed a wonderful time here. The large kitchen and great room lend towards a great gathering place for all. My son is a chef and had all he needed in kitchen to prepare great meals. Love the deck where we ate most meals.
Great large open living/family room space with lots of windows; everything updated and nice; kitchen well stocked with lots of dishes, pots, silverware, etc; easy good communication with owners; only negatives were gas fireplace was not working for us for some reason; old TVs without cable in spare bedrooms and no bunkbed as indicated in description; hot water can come and go for showers with big group; would rent again.

Beautiful home!
We had 7 adults and 7 kids and had more than enough room! The house was clean, well stocked and so comfortable. Jeff was so easy to work with and very responsive!
Outstanding house! Getting the mountain could not be more convenient...just request a shuttle via the Northstar app and get picked up at you door within minutes.
Space was Great for family time. Transportation takes you to and from Northstar with easy access pick up at house.
Bunk beds were not available. Everything else was amazing!!
I would stay here again!
Location was great. Convenience to skiing Northstar is great. Amenities could be better - e.g., no hot tub, no ski closet or racks in or near entry, no boot bench, etc. for skiers. Many rooms don’t have overhead lighting. Bring extension cords for plugs on bedrooms. No shampoo or conditioner.
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful Northstar home. Positives: Beautiful and spacious great room and kitchen with 2 very large comfy sectionals and nice appliances. Plenty of kitchen essentials provided such as trash bags, ziplock bags, and cleaning supplies. The host was very responsive with any questions that we had. Negatives: a little worn around the edges, no dressers in the bedrooms and the closets were quite full of the owners belongings so not much room there to put suitcases etc. Overall, I would recommend the home because it's a beautiful home with very large enjoyable spaces to spend time together with your family or friends.
Our multi generation family of 10 had a wonderful stay. Lots of space for family time. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. The owner answered our phone call immediately when we had a question.There is a sledding hill next to house- but sleds needed to be replaced!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. We had 14 family and there was plenty of room and a great location. The only suggestion o have is there was not any where for us to put our clothes closets were full amd no drawers anywhere. Otherwise everything was amazing!!
My family and I enjoyed a large, cozy stay in the best area of Truckee. Our host went out of his way to even ensure we had a high chair for our littlest granddaughter!
We loved this home. The great room and kitchen are very spacious, with 2 generous seating areas for visiting and hanging out. The kitchen had all the cooking supplies you could ask for. Beds were really comfortable and the bonus room was a huge plus. We highly recommend! North Star also has a fantastic rec center with multiple pools plus gym, tennis, pickle ball, playground, hot tubs and more. Great home and great location.
I can't say enough positive about this property. It brought my entire family together for a wedding that was about a mile away- so very convenient. The beds were extremely comfortable, the amenities were plentiful and perfect for our needs. The children staying had a great time playing outside and going on nature walks. Owner was extremely easy to work with. I would love to stay here again.
The house is large and spacious to accommodate multiple families. The location is great. Easy access to the village by the bus system. Make sure to bring your own shampoo.
Wonderful property, great location and responsive and attentive owner! Our family of 9 stayed there including three married couples so plenty of space. Huge well equipped kitchen and great room area are perfect for big family and playing games and relaxing. Detailed instructions for everything and Jeff went above and beyond to take care of us even after we departed! Location to ski was awesome as the shuttle stops right in front of house and is 2 minutes from Village.
If you are looking for a place for a large group and easy access to Northstar, this place fits the bill. Plenty of room to spread out and the shuttle bus to the resort stops just in front of the house. The owner responds quickly and is helpful and easy to work with. We encountered one of the biggest winter storms in decades. All roads in and out of the area were closed for days and he worked with us to extend our stay until we were able to safely return home. Would stay again!
This house was great for a large group. I really liked the design and style.
There were a few maintenance and cleanliness issues. The outside deck could use an update.
The use of the Northstar recreation area was a big bonus.

What makes this property unique
The home has 5 bedrooms, 5 baths and we built it with larger group in mind, much like our family of 5 daughters and now all their spouses and kids. Meaning, there is plenty of cozy seating in the great room for everyone to gather and be together at the main floor that has 4 areas where all can parallel play i one open space. There is also a huge bonus room on a separate floor for the kids to enjoy their movies and games. The bonus room has a fireplace, Seating, tables, its own restroom and fireplace where kids play or adults for private working remote.
Our home is wonderful for entertaining and privacy. A one minute free bus ride to the village. There is plenty of cozy seating in the great room for everyone to gather and be together with two large sectional couches creating their own space. This home is cozy, cozy, cozy--set in the woods, decorative hand hewn cedar ceilings, with 3 fireplaces, open floor plan on the main floor between the kitchen, family room, and dining area. Very easy free shuttle access to all sports, restaurants and shopping at the NorthStar Village.
