Family Friendly Home

Very convenient location, friendly and accomodating host, and perfect house for families! We thoroughly enjoyed this place. The free shuttle service (Northstar Transportation) picked up/dropped off at our door, which was a huge plus when lugging snow gear and small kids. Will definitely consider this home again for a future trip to the area.

Family ski trip

We had a wonderful time, the owner and property manager were great and really helpful. Even with a 7 feet of snow we were able to get in the shoveled driveway. Had plenty of room for the 10 of us plus others if needed. The kids loved it. Well stocked kitchen and bathroom supplies. The free Northstar shuttle's door to ski 🎿 area was awesome. I would definitely stay there again.

Buyer beware…

As a rental property owner, and a vacation rental property owner, I feel qualified to say… this property is poorly represented by both the online description and the photographs… the photographs appear to be several years old as the property is entirely different inside….. A few items , fireplace was on usable, and the arcade at the rec center no longer exists…! Prospective guests rely entirely on both the written and photographic description and therefore I think it’s important that they are accurate… on the positive side. It’s a very nice older, multi level cabin in a great location. Unfortunately, the owner has not kept up with maintenance and it shows throughout the building.

Plenty of space but needs repairs

First of all the property manager Spencer is the nicest person I've ever encountered at a rental. He was very responsive, genuinely cared that we had a good time and did everything he could to make sure we had a nice stay.The house is large with lots of space to spread out and the kids had a good time.Unfortunately, the house is cluttered and filled with weird stuff (the master bedroom has a Tin Woodman doll as decoration). It is very obviously a family home first and a rental second. Certain house rules aren't conducive to a rental ( no shoes in the house, don't turn the heat above 70). It is an old house (which is fine) but it needs major updates - the kitchen tile is cracking and falling off, the stove is difficult to manage, floorboards are lifting, the furniture is not as presented in the online photos.This would be a fantastic rental if half of the decor was removed and some investments in repairs were made.

We loved this place! They have a front and back deck which was our favorite part since somebody was always on the deck enjoying the views of the trees, chipmunks, sunset, stars. We were happy to have 3 bathrooms especially when you have a large group.The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, baking sheets, etc which was great since we made a few meals there. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. We definitely recommend this place!

Check-in was smooth and easy.The kitchen was made for tall people. I'm 5'2" and had difficulty reaching items on shelves. Had to ask other people to get things down for me and to keep them on the counter for easier access.The dishwasher was confusing to start, but with help from Spencer, we were able to use it.

The positive: plenty of room for two families of 5 each. Kitchen was well equipped. Very quiet setting. Easy access to the village and recreation Negative: this place wasn’t very clean. Cleaning person was still working 30 minutes after regular check in time. Lots of things in various stages of disrepair. Nails protruding from handrails & wall. Back porch slider screen was broken.

Outdated house

The house is plenty big for 3 families. It sleeps 12 which is nice and there are 2 different areas to hang out in. The kitchen is well stocked. The issue is that this house is outdated throughout. In the master bedroom, the heating system is falling apart. Seems like a safety issue. There are closet doors that are barely hanging from their hinges. The carpet throughout the house is really old and looks dirty. The bathrooms are very old. The 2-car garage is a mess and allows only 1 car to be pulled in. There are many light bulbs broken. And the house is generally filthy. There was ice in front of the door making access tricky. We are disappointed. We have stayed in many other houses in Northstar before for less money that are much nicer. This house does not look like it's prepared to be a good rental.

Cozy cabin at Northstar, super convenient location and a wonderful host!

My friends and I had an amazing time staying at this beautiful and warm cabin house located very close to Northstar. One of my friends said, “oh my word, it’s literally on Northstar lands”. There is a free shuttle from the cabin to Northstar ski resort and we found it super convenient. We enjoyed hanging out and playing board games at the newly updated living and dining rooms. Our host, Spencer, was absolutely fantastic. He was friendly and approachable. He kept us updated on weather conditions and addressed our questions and concerns quickly. One of my friends left something valuable at the cabin and we contacted Spencer. He found the item and shipped it to my friend promptly. We had a wonderful experience throughout our stay and beyond.

A perfect place for a relaxed family vacation.

A delightful home away from home. There were plenty of towels and paper products, and we particularly appreciated the beach umbrellas and chairs. The Northstar shuttle is always a help so avoid driving. Plenty of room for eight of us, including four kids. The kitchen was well stocked and included all the utensils we needed for family breakfasts. Probably too many stairs for anyone who has difficulty with stairs.

needs updating

We had a nice stay but this place is very costly for what it is. The location is excellent. The house has been well loved but is in desperate need for new flooring and bathrooms and kitchen appliances. The beds are super hard and it was not fun sleeping. However, if you are not picky about these things you will have a nice time.
