About this property

Ski in and Ski out. Exclusive Big Springs area.

The Highlands gondola serves the new Ritz-Carlton Hotel and much-mountain The entrance is about 50 yards from our home. You can take it free to the hotel and the hotel restaurants and amenities or use it to access the whole mountain with a lift ticket. The gondola is not really private but it seems that way because we never see a lift line.

This 4000 plus square foot luxury home is wonderful for large families or multi-family groups, reunions and retreats. Sleeps large groups. Unsurpassed access to skiing and village.

Grand house with a charater (with good ski acess)

This hous is filled with furniture from multiple generations. In the kitchen you can find ... whatever you need. We really liked the views and ease of access to ski slopes.Our favourite game inside the hous was "I spy", as there are so many intersting objects to "spy".Beds are comfortable.Lower level was a bit chilly (in March) but one can use space heaters.If you like to sleep late you would probably notice that there are no drapes on bedroom windows.

We had a wonderful time with our family at this beautiful home over our Christmas vavation. The best features are a wonderful family room and lots of space for all. The proximity to the village was a major plus and we all walked there several times a day - even the 3 yr old was able to make it.

Totally Perfect

We stayed here for the weekend of Tough Mudder. It was so nice to have a relaxing place to come home to after a day of crazy obstacles! The layout of the house is perfect for a big group. Everyone had a bed and the kitchen/dining room was perfect for us to all gather and refuel after a hard day! The proximity to North Star is awesome and all of us were gushing about how we want to come back when there is snow on the ground!

Better than expected

Can’t wait to come back. We expected the place to be great but our expectations were exceeded. The place is beautiful inside and out. It’s right on the ski trail. True ski in and ski out. The kids had a great time playing in the snow. We got to relax and hang out inside the huge house. The owner was super responsive and friendly too.

Amazing Location, Spacious and Well Equipped

We just had a great stay in this great property. The house is in an amazing location and only a very short walk to the Village and Highlands Gondola (Didn't use the shuttle bus once). Even though the snow was struggling, we could ski to the Gondola each morning which was awesome. We had 2 families with small children plus 2 sets of grandparents and the house had more than enough room to house us very comfortably. The kitchen is very well equipped. We hope to stay here again. The owners are great. They were very responsive and accommodating. They also provide great instructions for the home.

Northstar New Year fun

The location of this place is amazing in regards to being so close to the gondolas up to The Ritz Carlton and walking down to the village where shopping and restaurants are in abundance as well as skating and live music. Although the snow decided to wait until after we left it was great fun with family in a wonderful location! I would like to say that there needs to be either a repair of the cooktop so all burners work or get a new one and a easily working fireplace would have been a great addition to the ambiance. I know a part was being waited on when we came but I hope the next family that comes to rent will get to enjoy these amenities!

Mixed bag

This property was a real mixed bag for us. The good: The location is superb, true ski-in ski-out property, directly to/from the run under the Ritz gondola as long as there is deep enough snow. The kitchen has lots of pots and pans, plenty of tools for cooking whatever you would want, prep sink, large pantry. Now for the things we didn't care for about this house: -No shades for privacy except for one living room window. Most of the bedrooms, bathrooms, even showers are exposed to anyone who might be walking by. Some of our group found their closets to be the only place they could change without risk of being in view. -What's listed as the 5th bedroom is a rec room with two fold-out couches and an aerobed. The fold-out couches (not a futon as is pictured) are very worn and not comfortable for adults; they might be okay for kids. -Cleaner missed cleaning a few areas before our stay: Popcorn in and under the fold-out couch, side table not dusted, a sink not cleaned out, trash left on a shelf. -The part of the house in which the renter lives is not really separate bur rather a bedroom and bathroom that are just locked doors blocked off from the upstairs hall and bedroom by furniture. He has his own entrance to those rooms from outside but everything the tenant does (especially in the early morning) is audible from the upstairs bedroom. That also means the upstairs bedroom has no bathroom (this seems to have been built as a Jack & Jill situation originally).

Beautiful home, great location for skiing!

--- Location --- This was a beautifully maintained, super spacious home near the Highland Gondola of the Northstar resort. In good snow conditions, this would definitely the perfect location for a ski-in, ski-out. You can take the "Homerun" trail straight to the house. Unfortunately, the weekend we went was exceptionally warm, so we had to walk our gear back and forth from the gondola, but that's still much more convenient than having to drive onto the resort. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking to get a big group onto the slopes in a speedy, easy manner. --- Kitchen & Amenities for Large Groups --- The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook meals for 15 people. There are plenty of dishes and silverware, multiple skillets (which made for quicker scrambled eggs for everyone's breakfasts!), and even 2 coffee makers! The one thing we ran out of was cooking vegetable oil; so you might want to bring some if you plan on cooking at the house. The dishwasher was a lifesaver, too :) The rooms were very comfortable -- the "master" bedrooms are especially comfy with a great selection of linens and warm duvets. The other rooms seemed comfortable enough for everyone else as well. We appreciated the large assortment of extra blankets and sheets that we used with the pull out sofa bed downstairs. With our group, when we used the 2 sofa pull outs downstairs, we were able to fit 15 friends (3 couples, 9 singles) comfortably, though one of our friends did sleep upstairs in a sleeping bag (since he didn't want to share a room with anyoene else and wake them up with snoring). There were plenty of towels for 15 people, amazingly! The bathrooms also had bar soap & shampoo/conditioner stocked. The shampoo & conditioner may run a bit low if you have a large group (or more girls with long hair!) but we were fine. We were able to stagger showers so there wasn't too much of a wait between them all. The water runs nice and hot -- something you forget you really care about until after a full day on the mountain! --- Final Notes --- The owners John & Pat Adams were super responsive the entire trip. John worked with to figure out the online payment system on this site (which was a bit hidden), and he was really responsive via phone, answering all of our questions. Pat is a sweetheart -- I'd recommend giving her a call and hearing the recommendations of what you can do around the area! Can't recommend this home highly enough!

Excellent location but needs updating

The location of this house can’t be beat. It’s literally a 3 min walk to the bottom of the gondola to the Ritz and a 5 min walk to the Village. The house looks so much better and bigger in person. Beautiful vaulted ceilings with wood beams. The pictures definitely don’t do it justice. However it does still need updating. Especially the furniture in the downstairs family room and the linens. There are no curtains so it’s bright in the morning. Not a deal breaker but there were also windows in the bathrooms which we weren’t comfortable with especially at night. Also there is no lock on the half bath door which was a bit inconvenient with a large group. The shower downstairs only has a hand shower with no mount so showering with one hand was challenging. Overall these were minor issues and the location and availability on Memorial Day Weekend made up for it. Communication with the owner was good too. We would definitely consider renting again especially if they fixed these minor issues.
