Zero issues or problems--everything clear and easy. The house was clean and well stocked for families with a great location. The scenery and weather was fantastic!
Walking distance to village yet on a quiet private cull de sac with about 15 or so other homes. Great for taking my dog out for walks. Home was well appointed; the rooms were spacious.
Great place, definitely walking distance to the village et all, felt like new construction, high end finishes. Very professional transaction, no trouble. If you want Northstar Village, I cant imagine a better place.

Thank you so much, Craig, for your nice review! So happy you thought it was as great as we do! Would love to have you back again! Thank you again!
PERFECTION. This place could not be better. The home itself is lovely—great floor plan, well appointed, worked so well for two families with kids. Was such a treat to be able to walk multiple times daily to the village and to the wonderful rec center. Northstar was perfect place for our children to learn to ski. Close proximity to both Kings Beach and Truckee for anything needed beyond the infrastructure in the village. (Highly recommend Trokay in Truckee!) Our host Lori may be the best host we’ve ever had. So many wonderful recommendations and instant response to everyll little question. Truly above and beyond. We can NOT wait to come back!

Thank you for such an incredible review—we truly appreciate you sharing this.
We’re so glad Larkspur delivered the experience you were hoping for. It’s one of our favorite homes for exactly that reason—the layout, the walkability to the village, and how effortlessly it works for families spending real time together.
It’s great to hear you were able to fully enjoy Northstar (and venture out to Truckee too—excellent call on Trokay). That balance of convenience and access is what makes this location so special.
And thank you for the kind words about the hosting—that means a lot. We’re very intentional about being responsive and making every stay feel seamless from start to finish.
We’d love to welcome you back—Larkspur will be waiting for you.

Why they chose this property
You can walk to the Northstar Village where you catch the lift or gondola to go up the mountain to ski or ride! The Village is awesome! It has restaurants, stores, a skating rink, a movie theater, fire pits, gear rental, small grocery store and more. The Highlands Gondola which goest to the Northstar Ritz Carlton is even a shorter walk, just 2 min from the property.
What makes this property unique
It is the ONE and ONLY property that is within walking distance of the Northstar Village (3 min walk) and is pet-friendly, has a fenced-in yard and has a private hot-tub! There is no other property like it! It feels like a house with a long driveway and front yard but it's shocking it's so close to the Northstar Village!
