Great house for a family vacation!

This house is conveniently located near Northstar, with free shuttle access to the resort. The house is well-stocked for families: dishes, books, toys, games, plenty of room and the beds were very comfortable. Only thing we missed was a bath tub for the kids. Overall, we had a great time!

We stayed during the off season when Northstar is closed and it was a pleasant stay. The home is a beautiful rustic space with a nice fireplace, great kitchen, comfortable beds, and good showers. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. They had a regular coffee pot and keurig. The neighborhood is quiet and easy access to the 267 to get to Truckee or north Lake Tahoe. It’s pet friendly yet clean and you couldn’t tell. Overall great stay.
