A very cute place to stay. There was everything set up you could want for an enjoyable stay. The beds were super comfy!! Perfect location to access rec center, restaurants, andthe outdoors.Above all, we appreciated the high level of communication with the property manager both before and during our weekend stay.Thanks, we would love to return soon.
We stayed here for a weekend, and this is a perfect weekend getaway. The location is close to all the north, east and west lake points, there is a shuttle service and grocery store in vicinity. We will be coming back :)
My son and I had a delightful stay. The room was clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The host was incredibly accommodating, making sure all our needs were met. The location is perfect, close to local attractions yet peaceful. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay. Everything was wonderful, especially the location. It was a bit tight for 4 people, but it was exactly as advertised. We'll be back in a month!
Our stay was very nice. Location was centrally located so getting to Truckee or Incline was very easy. Extremely short walk to the Northstar village store and cafe to get snacks or coffee. Property owner was very responsive in answering any questions we had.
It’s a short walk from the gondola and restaurants. It was very convenient for our ski trip. Kristi was very responsive.

Great location if you're skiing or riding at Northstar, obviously. Reasonably priced as well, which is probably the biggest selling point for this property. Unfortunately though, the property is in need of a refresh. Cracked tabletop on the balcony, leaking mixer valve on the bathroom sink, visible dirt throughout, and linens on the beds that are clearly very old. The mattresses also seemed pretty old, though were comfortable enough and we all slept well.
Perfect place to stay at Northstar. The place is tiny but was just fine for the two of us. Inside was nice and clean but the furniture on the balcony produced a cloud of dust when sitting on it. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was fine.
You can’t beat this location. It was an easy walk to the gondola. The market with coffee and homemade food is right outside the building. It was definitely nice to have a deck to enjoy the warm spring weather.
Lovely little studio right in Northstar Village. Great for a weekend for a family - probably a little small for a longer stay with kids due to the lack of a real kitchen. Super well located, clean, and well organized so that the space is super functional. We are likely to come back if it is available next year!
We enjoyed our time at this cozy studio. Amazing location for skiing at Northstar with all the amenities needed to make the stay more enjoyable. We took a mid morning break from skiing, stopped at the studio to put our gloves on the glove warmers, put on our shoes, take a bathroom break. Super convenient!
The place was exactly what we expected. The location and parking was incredibly convenient. We loved the fridge, microwave and disposable utensils to help us make use of our leftovers. The balcony provided an easy and quick place for the kids to play in the snow and parents to have a drink (as there was leftover snow from last week’s storm). We would definitely stay again!
We loved this house. The view of the mountains is stunning. Coffee in the morning gazing at the palm trees and mountains…perfect!
The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. The pool table added great fun.
Close to the action but in a quiet neighborhood. This was a great stay.
