Great place and location

The place was perfect for our group of 3 friends and would comfortably fit more. The place was spotless and the open living room and kitchen were great for cooking and hanging out. It was a quick 5-10 minute walk to the gondola and we were able to ski all the way back to the place.

Great condo for our Northstar ski trip

This condo is conveniently located next to Northstar. You can drive 2-3 minutes or take the shuttle directly from the parking lot. We stayed with our family of 4 and there was plenty of space. The space is warm, inviting and cozy. Kitchen is well equipped. As a guest, we had access to the gym (additional payment required) and the game room. Parking is easy and directly out front.
