Multi-family ski weekend

Amy is a great host and we loved our second time staying at her place. It was perfect for four families with a range of kids. The large kitchen and built in Sonos system were particularly enjoyed. We’ll book again for sure.

Amazing Northstar Stay

Our group had an incredible stay at this property - we head to Tahoe as a group every year and this has been one of the best houses we've ever stayed at. It is a well equipped for cooking, so close to the lifts, and a quick drive into Truckee for Sugarbowl, Tahoe Donner or Donner Ski Ranch.

Incredible house with tons of common space

Everything about this house is top-notch. It’s modern, luxurious, beautiful, huge, and you can walk to the ski slopes. It’s pretty much perfect.

Perfection!

This was the 2nd time staying in this VRBO. We visited over summer and had to experience it in the winter as well and it did not disappoint! Still an easy walk to the village with snow on the ground. Everything just as clean and gorgeous as it was in the summer!

Amazing Property

We came to North Lake Tahoe to celebrate a friends 50th birthday and wanted to rent something special. This property didn't disappoint. Everything was beautiful and location for what we wanted was perfect. Very quiet and beautiful views. We would rent again from this owner. They take great pride in their beautiful home.

Absolutely Fabulous!

Out of the 20 years we’ve been coming to Tahoe with our friends/family group, this home by far was the most beautiful & well designed. Three single women enjoyed the spacious bunk room, plenty of closet space. All rooms had incredible bedding/beds/bathrooms. Kitchen was well-stocked with appliances & cooking utensils. Everything was perfect!

EXCEPTIONAL rental- must stay!

From start to finish this property had all the pizazz and luxury with the comforts of home. A group of 4 couples and some singles stayed in this gorgeous property to celebrate a milestone birthday. Neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. Northstar has great amenities such as the pool, fitness room, restaurants and entertainment. So much to do in and around Truckee that you could stay for a month and not get to it all. Amy was a great host. Very responsive. The home was squeaky clean. The views, patio, hot tub, and bocce ball took it up another level. Don't miss out. Rent this property.

Fantastic Northstar Home

We were blown away by Amy’s house. The property is stunning. There is a tremendous amount of space, not all of which was pictured. Our group had more than enough room to spread out, and enjoy time together. The house is luxurious and has everything you could want. We used the shuttle numerous times for trips into the village. The rooms were all super comfortable. I would highly recommend this home to any groups of families looking for a fun trip to North Star for both peaceful luxury and convenience. We didn’t want to leave!
