Lovely home, Carol was kind enough to let us check in early as we were traveling during the snow storm. Cabin had all the amenities needed. Perfect home for large groups. The master is on the main floor including the kitchen and the living area. The other rooms are all on the bottom floor. Favorite part of the home was the kitchen. Open and lots of room to move around. Overall we enjoyed our stayed.

Perfect stay at Northstar

We loved our stay at the cabin. It was perfect for our group - the kids stayed downstairs and the adults upstairs. We loved the board games and fireplace, and the kitchen was very well appointed. Shuttle takes you right to the village. Hope to come again soon!

Wonderful stay!

This was a great home base for our two families with small children. The carpeted sunken living room was perfect for young children to play in and the bedrooms were spacious. The backyard was great for playing in the snow and sledding. On top of it all, the convenience of having access to the Northstar shuttle was priceless! We definitely hope to be back!

Great home for family gathering

This well maintained property was more than adequate for our family group of 11 people. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics. The living and dining room areas were spacious. Instructions for the low flow toilets, heater and keys were easy to follow. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would heartily recommend it for large gatherings.

Proximity to North Star is great. Bedrooms spacious and clean. Kitchen is wonderful with large windows to look out. Owner is superb and even allowed early/late checkout. The only issue with the property was that I wish to the TV had a casting ability- and that’s not even a big deal. Thank you!

Great Property with plenty of room for all of us.

Property was clean and well maintained. Lots of room for all of us to sit at the table to play games, puzzles and eat. Open kitchen with everything I needed to cook for 8 of us. There was an amazing bonus view to enjoy during all my time preparing meals. The shuttle was a great bonus to take us to and from the village/lifts. Unfortunately there wasn't enough snow to enjoy the slopes, so we only spent 1 day on the mountain.

love the mid century vibe

What an amazing weekend we had! Love the mid century vibe. It was classy , not dingy at all. Home owner really took care of the property, and the cleaning crew did a very good job. Someone built a really cool sled ride next to the cabin, it was the best thing for the kids. Even the neighbors kids across the street came play. The amazing view outside the kitchen made cooking super enjoyable. It over looks an opened field with some trails covered in snow. We heard coyote hunting one night and the next morning the kids spotted a couple of coyotes outside in the field. They were pretty far away, but it was a very cool sighting for the city kids. 10 am check out time was a little too early for us, 3 families with 6 kids 3-10 yo, and the cleaning team came super right at 10am if not earlier. We were still loading up as the crew arrive. Didn’t have much time to tidy up the kitchen for the cleaning people. Also, no hair dryer, but it’s okay, we just air dry our hair.

Looks like I need to revisit the hair dryer issue. I've lost so many of them over the yrs but I need to look again at my options. Cleaning agent requires a 6 hr window, they may come at 10am or 1pm. Having back to back renters on the day you left makes it tuff. Glad to hear your family had an enjoyable visit.
