This modern ski trails condo was perfect for our family of four. It’s impossible to beat the ski in - ski out benefits of this unit. Interiors are all modern and cozy. Short walk to the village for restaurants and fun

-Genesis with Tahoe Signature Properties
The property was very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. It is nicely updated and seemed brand new. It was in a great location at Northstar with a short walk down the path to the village. The property does not have AC, and we happened to be there during the July heat wave, but with the windows open it cooled off nicely downstairs at night.
