The location of the house far exceeded my expectations. It’s in a beautiful resort community in North Star right by the Ritz. The kids very much enjoyed the pool and arcade, and had fun taking the free shuttle to get there. Rec center is $10 per guest per day, so I thought it would be $90 for our whole group, but under 5 was free and adults not swimming were graciously not charged so it came out to less. The boys loved the bunk bed, and we noticed there was even a trundle, although we didn’t need it. House was the perfect size for two families. We took the free gondola to the top of the Ritz on the last day, which I highly recommend. Gorgeous views. Lake Tahoe is a short drive away, and so is downtown Truckee. I hope to be able to stay again in winter because the shuttle takes you to Northstar village, which was mostly closed in summer, but looks like it would be a blast in the winter. Donna, the host, was so quick to respond to questions before we arrived. Kitchen is well stocked with the basics, including olive oil, but remember to bring butter.
