Our stay at Carol’s house was excellent. The room was clean and matched the listing perfectly. The location provided convenient access to surrounding sites, and the short ride to the recreation center was an added bonus.

Great house with lots of common area, well stocked kitchen, closer to the Village on the shuttle route which came in handy when the shuttle stopped running due to weather.

Perfect location for Northstar ski resort

Wonderful cabin with access to shuttle buses to get to the resort. Very cozy fireplace for boardgames and relaxation after a day at the slopes.However, some rugs appeared to have dog hairs, despite being listed as a pet-free property. Also, we were counting on being able to park 2 of our group's 3 cars in the garage, but to our surprise, only 1 car could be parked inside to keep them out of the snow.

Response from VrboOwner on May 26, 2025
Thank you for the review. My apologies for the dog hair you found. That is completely unacceptable and I appreciate you pointing the issue out to us. I have taken care of it and it will not happen again. My apologies for the very late response. I hope you will consider renting from us again!

The property was a great size for our group of 3 couples with 4 kids. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and had everything we needed to cook all meals. Close proximity to Northstar and being able to use the recreation center was an added bonus.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Vesely

Host profile image
This home was thoughtfully built by my husband, with great care put into every detail and design element. As a family-owned business, we take pride in offering warm, personalized customer service. We hope you have a wonderful and comfortable stay in our home!

Why they chose this property

Northstar was just a modest ski resort when we purchased our first lot back in 1975. Since then, it has evolved into a world-class destination recognized around the globe.

What makes this property unique

Both homes are owner-built and personally managed, reflecting the pride we take in their upkeep and presentation. With two Northstar properties located just a mile apart, guests are welcome to use both homes—perfect for weddings, family reunions, or group gatherings.
