Awesome pre-Xmas gathering spot!

A ‘winner’ for location, size and accouterments. This place has ample space. Parents and adult mid-20s kids & partners. The 8-9 adults could gather, mingle and yet find space for themselves (working/chilling). Kitchen very well appointed - lots of mugs, plates, cookware. So happy spices and staples were available. Host company very responsive (had a few small issues w/ garage door, tv remote) The steam shower in master is fab. Shuttle Pick up around the resort was efficient no driving inside Northstar required. Large family room / kitchen table for holiday games - would expect decks awesome in summer for golf and lounging. Overall a great choice.

The house was spacious and the kitchen well equipped. We had a lovely view of the golf course and the deck was a nice hang out space. The only down sides were; not all the TVs worked. The house is in need of a good deep cleaning and handy man to go through and do repairs. The tap water is not drinkable - bring your own ice too. Other than that, great rental for our trip!
