Great place. The check in manual could be updated to be a bit more accurate regarding what to do with the trash as well as using the wood burning fireplace.

Thank you for your feedback Richard, we will get this updated asap!
Well equipped and clean. Had a great stay. Lots of stairs from parking to front door we weren’t prepared for but gives you easy access to a great hill behind condo you can sled and play on.

Thank you for your kind review and feedback! We have updated our advertising to make future guests more aware of the stairs.
Great place! Well stocked with everything we needed and in great condition for 2 families and a dog. Super comfortable and cozy. Wonderful view. Convenient shuttle stop walking distance from the condo. The heater worked great. As noted, there is a bit of a walk with steps from the parking lot, but it was not as bad as I expected. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Thank you for your kind review! We really appreciate it.
Great stay here with our three kids & dog! Beds super cozy, fire key on chilly nights. Showers great as well. One thing to note the condo is the last one up quite a lot of stairs. Great location shuttle picks you up at end of block to take you to Northstar village.Thank you for a great stay!
My friends and I, group of seven, had a wonderful stay. The house was located very close to Northstar and is on the Northstar shuttle route.
The kitchen was we’ll equipment and the beds were very comfortable. Thorough details were provided about the property and the property manager was quick to respond to our questions via text.
Recommend this property for anyway looking for a weekend near Northstar.
My family enjoyed our stay. Very spacious condo. Nice views of the mountains. Quite a lot of steps to the condo from the parking lot which made it difficult to carry all of our gear in the snow. Loved that the village shuttle is on demand. That was a huge perk.
The place is exactly as advertised. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and has been updated fairly recently. Very refreshing to find a place with King beds for the adults and some bunk beds for my son and his friends. Even more wonderful that we could bring our four-legged family member. The unit is at the top of a path and it's a bit of a trek to unload the car but worth it because head out the door, turn right and there is a bunch of open space to go for a hike and walk the dog.

Nice unit but beware of the 50 uphill steps to get to the unit and the 29 stairs within the unit.
The listing mentions “50 steps to the unit from the parking lot” but it means 50 uphill stairs to haul luggage, groceries, etc. Not suitable for older people especially given the elevation and the 29 stairs inside the unit. You cannot access a bathroom from the main living area without a flight of 14 or 15 stairs. Recommend a picture of the outside wooden steps to the unit be added to the listing photos. The unit itself is nice and well appointed. Kitchen was very well stocked. It was a very warm weekend which resulted in being unable to use the nice master bedroom on the third floor due to the temperature.

Thanks for your feedback and we'll adjust the description. We're sorry if you felt unprepared or if the location caused you trouble. For future guests, most of the Gold Bend Condo units require several stairs to access from the parking area.

The unit was a bit of a walk uphill from the parking lot, but worth it. The unit backs up to open space and is very quiet. There is also a perfect spot just outside the front door to take the pets out. No AC, but that can be resolved by opening windows up early. Top-level King bed was super comfortable and everything was clean.
The condo is extremely comfy. The condo's location at the top of a short incline makes it very quiet and private. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with all items you may need to cook a meal and there is a grill, perfect for summertime. The views from the upper deck are amazing. There is great air flow to keep the condo cool and comfortable. Sounds silly, but the upstairs shower is fantastic--so is the bed in the master bedroom. We would be delighted to return.
Love the iconic, old school Northstar condo...For many of us 80s kids, these are reminiscent of our own childhoods and the family ski trips we took back in the day. It's super fun to bring our own kids to a place we loved growing up! This condo is such a spot. Location, location. Super convenient since it is located inside the resort. Comfortable beds. Small, yet adequate kitchen. Like the layout with two floors of bedrooms and the living space in between - we used master bedroom upstairs for adult couple and downstairs rooms for kids. What really stood out though was the property management company and owners. I can't say enough about them, for whom we are so grateful. Our original reservation was smack in the middle of the storm of the century...This could have been a complete disaster. But..thankfully they were awesome! Excellent, quick communication. Super accommodating - flexible and generous. THANKS AGAIN!
The property was great, we only had one small issue where one of the toilets had been clogged as we arrived.
