Great location. Clean, comfortable beds, plenty of room for 5. Bathrooms need to be updated, sheets were scratchy, and coffee was not provided.

Great place
Clean and nature friendly place, great pool and play ball courts. My family enjoyed them a lot.
Our group of eight and a dog had a great time. The property was really nice and only a 5 minute drive to the Northstar Village. They also had a free shuttle running constantly so going back and forth was very easy and convenient. We would definitely stay here again!
Everything was good the only problem was wifi access was weak at some points.

Hi Stephanie. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that you experienced weak WiFi access during your stay. I want to let you know that we have reported this issue to our local team for further attention. The connectivity problems were due to an area-wide outage that affected the service, and we appreciate your understanding, as the situation was beyond our immediate control.

Cozy, spacious stay in great location
Loved the cabin-in-the-woods feel combined with the comfort and amenities of the rental. Host was fantastic. Quick drive to Truckee or Kings Beach, lots of great hiking around.

Perfect place for two families!
We had an amazing trip and this condo was perfect for our two families. The condo was clean, well stocked and comfortable. One shuttle stop away from the Northstar Village made it super easy for us and our young kids to access the slopes. Loved staying here and highly recommend!
Everything worked well. Very fully equipped. Nice location close to the shuttle.

Excellent location and perfect size for 7 of us.
Great place place to stay for 2 families at Northstar
The 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths were great for 2 families, each with 2 elementary/middle school aged kids. We had everything we needed. Parking is in a lot, but not too far away. There were no parking passes when we arrived, but host was responsive and explained we wouldn't need them for the duration of our stay. Note - we needed to drive our trash to a Northstar dumpster site about 1 mile away, which was not very easy to find at first. Overall, I'd be happy to stay here again or recommend it to friends.

Great for Groups
Located just a 3 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) to Northstar Village - this cabin was absolutely perfect for any family or group of friends to stay for a weekend. The interior is extremely spacious with all amenities you could need to make your stay an enjoyable one. Most important - there is a free community shuttle that will pick you up/drop you off at the village in minutes…perfect for a group looking to ski for the weekend. Can’t say enough good things about this Gold Bend cabin. Thanks!

House was clean and provided all the amenities to enjoy our vacation. Kitchen has all the necessary equipment to cook meals at the house. Friendly neighbors too! We had a great time and hope to be back next season.
Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds. Comfortable home. Shuttle worked well once we figured out that we were supposed to use app rather than calling. The only negative experience was at check out; we walked all over the parking lots with bags of trash but cannot find the dumpster mentioned in checkout instruction. We were told that HOA removed dumpster because prior tenets left trash outside of the dumpster. Found a sign in the parking lot Instructing to take the trash and drive to Northstar Village Entrance then using ecard to access the NPOA dumpster. We spent good amount of our precious morning hours trying to “take out the trash” and realized it will take additional 20 minutes to dispose trash and bring the keycards back. We finally paid the gentleman cleaning pet waste to take our trash bags. We had a good stay until the trash removal debacle which was so stressful that it overshadowed our good experience up to that point. It was definitely a joy killer.

Reviewer Comments:
Location was absolutely amazing. The layout was nice. Kids and my husband and I stayed in the 2 rooms downstairs. And my aunt and dad got the 2 rooms upstairs. Perfect for us— which was why I chose this place. Shuttling to Northstar was great and pretty easy. The house was fairly clean, but it was a little unorganized (dishes and kitchen supplies were just thrown in random drawers with no organization), we didn’t get a key for the lockers (although they were left open.. we didn’t use them as they were full of stuff), random things throughout like dog food bowls with food in them etc. Living room couch you can tell was broken but functional and comfortable— I know rentals experience the worst wear and tear. Everything else was decently kept.I did think Turnkey gives a lot of useful information for check-in and check out. The only downside is with them being such a big company, it is hard to get a hold of people if you have questions. I personally prefer smaller management companies.
