Summary:

Roundhouse Retreat



The Space:

Nestled in a tree-lined neighborhood you'll discover this unique, family-friendly home. With three levels of distinctive design, the Roundhouse Retreat features a circular interior layout. At the center of this circular marvel, a wood-burning stove takes pride of place, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that beckons everyone to gather around. The living area is adorned with a large sectional couch, strategically placed to appreciate the unobstructed view of the space. As you gaze upwards, the cathedral-like ceilings with rich wooden beams draw your eyes to the third level of the home, accessible via a spiral staircase that wraps around the interior. This remarkable feature not only adds to the home's uniqueness but also allows natural light to pour in from the multitude of windows that adorn each level. The circular theme is carried through in the doors, which feature round windows, adding to the enchanting charm of this property.



With a full kitchen, spacious bedrooms, and equally impressive bathrooms - your daily life at Roundhouse Retreat will be spent with ease. An additional wood-burning fireplace is on the second level, providing a wealth of warmth and ambiance, and offering a more intimate setting for relaxation and conversation. The design of the home doesn't stop at the interior; it seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings. The spacious deck, complete with comfortable outdoor furniture, extends from the second level, offering a panoramic view of the lush forest that envelops the property.



This remarkable home not only offers an unparalleled living experience but also provides convenient access to a wealth of nearby amenities. Request a free shuttle to Northstar California Resort, a year-round destination that offers world-class skiing and snowboarding in the winter, as well as hiking, mountain biking, and golf in the summer. The resort also includes charming Northstar Village, featuring a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options to cater to all tastes. For those seeking a change of scenery, Lake Tahoe's pristine waters are a short drive away, where you can enjoy water sports, boating, and the stunning beaches that make this area a recreational paradise. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, an outdoor adventurer, or simply looking for a relaxing escape, this unique home in Northstar provides the perfect gateway to a plethora of activities and amenities that capture the essence of mountain living.

The home itself is beautiful, but unfortunately we can’t leave a positive review because of our experience. When we checked in, we found dirty underwear and a used towel left in a drawer, which immediately made us question the cleanliness of the property. We also noticed multiple urine stains visible on the carpets throughout the home.The water pressure was extremely poor, making it impossible for more than one person to shower or even wash dishes at the same time. After using the hot tub, several of our clothes were damaged with bleach that was put in the water instead of chlorine. When we tried to use the grill, there was so much grease buildup underneath that it caught on fire.Before we checked in, the host responded to messages very quickly. However, once we checked in and began reporting these issues, our messages went unanswered. The only communication we received was the checkout instructions.This property has a lot of potential because it’s beautiful, but the cleanliness, maintenance issues, and lack of communication during our stay made it a very disappointing experience. We hope these issues are addressed for future guests.
