Christmas 2024

It's a lovely home that easily accommodated our multi generational family. The kitchen is recently remodeled and has more supplies than expected. A listing of supplies would have been helpful. There are large soup pots, cookie sheets, pie and cake pans, pretty much anything you would hope to find. There's a sledding hill behind the property. There weren't sleds or saucers provided but fortunately we brought our own. The living room could use a larger chandelier. The ceiling is dark wood and the room needs more light. The four thermostats are also complicated for a rental. The shuttle that stops at the bottom of the driveway is very convenient. We had a wonderful stay and would stay here again.

Excellent; good, and fair near Northstar

Our family of 4 generations, 9 persons, stayed for 11 nights and found the house to be just the right size and fabulously well equiped for a family of cooks....The excellent. The house was clean, but not to a very high standard, for instance the caroets were dirty sbd the upholstery had residual odors....The good. Communicatikn wuth the manager is awful. The manager did not return calls, had no idea how the house was equiped so we brought cooking equipment and supplies that were unnecessary, which completely obfiscated the benefit of the owner:s effort to outfit the house. There is slso a fair amount of unfinished and deferred maintenance.... the poor.

Great location & clean. Not going to wow you

Pros: the house itself was clean, kitchen is well-stocked and updated, lots of space, shuttle to Northstar that comes to front door is very convenient. Cons: while the two en-suite bedrooms in upper levels are nice the entire bottom floor (where other 3 bedrooms are) is pretty bleak - very dark, sparsely lit/furnished/decorated, musty smell. The old day bed and bunk beds are not anything anyone would choose to sleep on. (Two of our teens slept upstairs on sofas instead.) The few spare blankets in the house smelled musty. Outside of the kitchen, everything is the bare minimum - as few towels, pillows, blankets, etc as you can get away with, cheapest TP you can buy, ancient washer/dryer, everything dated and worn and a little sad. It served it’s purpose but definitely feels like a rental, nothing more. A little sprucing up would go a long way in this house.

Great Thanksgiving

Rating Details: The property manager was fantastic and very responsive. The property was very clean, better than what the pictures show with fantastic layout for large family or family of 2 or 3. The location was perfect if you want something close to the village but also secluded with privacy. Right across from the golf course. I definitely recommend this location. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed Thanksgiving with two families and kids. Ample space for everyone with tv's, wifi, kitchen and great place to go for a hike/walk next to the golf course. I will rent this place again.

Big Home in Northstar

Large home with good layout. A well stocked kitchen and location is nice. Be prepared for very little communication with the property manager (they could care less) and a 5th bedroom that has a daybed that is sagging. It’s really. 4 bed Family room couches need replacing. We didn’t sit in family room as the deck was our hangout.

great location

the house is in a great location and the shuttle bus service to NorthStar is fantastic. we were 7 adults and I don't think this house would be very comfortable with more than 8. two bedrooms are small and one is a sofa bed in a room off the kitchen. the two master suites are GREAT.

Perfect home for a family vacaction

This warm & cozy house was ideal for our family of 10 for the Thanksgiving long weekend. It is very nicely furnished with comfortable bedding, luxurious towels, and a very well equpped kitchen. Nice to have lots of bedrooms and bathrooms so everyone has their own spot. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The location is great too with easy shuttle access to the village. We look forward to staying here again.
