About this property

Northstar Multi-Family Retreat. Shuttle service minutes to the slopes

The Martis Landing Escape is a beautiful home with 5 bedrooms (1 king, 4 queens) plus a bunk room loft, 5 bathrooms and a private indoor sauna. There is a great room next to the kitchen and dining room and a downstairs family room. The Martis Landing Escape is ideal for a gathering of friends and family with soaring cathedral ceilings throughout, 2 wood burning fireplaces for those cold winter nights, and light streaming in through abundant windows.. Enjoy remote area on Martis Landing in Northstar plus free high speed wi-fi. The kitchen was completely gutted and remodeled in December 2016. New Thermador oven with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Belgian waffle maker, slow cooker, hand mixer, blender, toaster, and all the pots, pans and cooking utensils you could possibly need. Coffee maker will help you get just what you want in the morning: The great room has a 55 inch Smart LCD TV with DVD player. The family room downstairs has its own fireplace, a SmartTV and Wii game console. The dining room table seats 8 and the breakfast bar seats an additional 4. A laundry room offers large capacity LG washer and dryer. There are 2 oversized one car garages and large driveway for extra parking. Firewood available free of charge. Plenty of storage in the garage to store your skies and enter the house. The front deck has beautiful views of Martis Valley and has patio furniture to enjoy it. Bedrooms and living areas have carpet that was installed in late 2012. 2 Bedrooms on main level each have their own private bathroom and queen and king size beds. The 3rd en suite bedroom on lower level features a queen bed and shared bathroom. The 4th bedroom features a queen bed and sink to get ready. The 5th bedroom has queen bed and sink. There is an additional full bath between the 4th and 5th bedrooms. The upstairs Crows Nest has 2 bunk beds and a private deck. Situated on a huge private lot that backs up to 30 acres of greenbelt and close to 2 trailheads to Tompkins Memorial hiking trail. The Northstar shuttle service will pick up your group at the end of the driveway—just call and the shuttle usually arrives within minutes—and take you to the Village or recreation center for free. The rec center—available to guests for just $8 per visit—offers multiple swimming pools, a huge hot tub, a gym and, in the summer, tennis courts. The Northstar Village offers several great restaurants and bars, an ice-skating/roller-skating rink, a movie theater, Starbucks and plenty of shopping. From the house you may walk/hike down to the Village in less than 30 minutes on hiking paths and a natural stone stairway maintained by Northstar (though the path is not suitable for the frail or elderly nor when snow is on the ground).

Spacious cabin in a great location

We really enjoyed our stay here. Pros - nice location near Northstar - very spacious cabin, with lots of bedrooms and plenty of common spaces - sauna - perfect for a large group Cons - tad annoying to need to provide all of the phone numbers and addresses for each group member; this wasn't a surprise to me since I read the listing before booking, but it felt like a bit much, especially given the large security deposit. It reads to me like the owner was burned by a bad group before. - Large security deposit required - Owner was not reachable via phone during check-out to answer some questions; for example, the check-out instructions have conflicting asks to both start the laundry/dishwasher on the way out and shut off the water main... - trash disposal requires driving the trash 10 minutes down the road

Wonderful stay in a Convenient Location

We absolutely loved our stay in Drake’s cabin. It was easy to communicate and there was lots of space and parking for our group of a few families. The kitchen made cooking for the group easy. We loved having sinks in every room. It was extremely convenient having access to the Northstar shuttle, particularly as kids wanted to come/go at various times. We’re looking forward to making another trip back!

Terrible Experience

One of reasons we booked this house is the exceptional review rating. Unfortunately, our recent stay at this property fell far below our expectations in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. Upon arrival, we encountered several issues which are beyond our imagination, including a deceased mouse, an infestation of dead and live moths, and noticeable dust accumulation throughout the house. Additionally, there was unfinished laundry in the dryer, uncleaned dishes in the dishwasher, and leftover food in the refrigerator. Despite promptly communicating these issues to the host and requesting an immediate cleaning of the property, we were disappointed by the host's response. He informed us that he was unable to find a cleaner, leaving us to handle the situation ourselves. We are a party of 10 people including 4 kids. It is hard to find a hotel to accommodate our group size, and we had brought along a lot of perishable food that required refrigeration. Furthermore, we have booked several thousands dollar ski lessons which start early next morning. We made a difficult decision to stay and clean the house on our own including removing the dead mouse. Location wise, it is great if you plan to ski at Northstar ski resort. However, the designated garbage dumpster site is far from the house, and the round trip by car is around 25-30 mins.

Clean, HUGE house; great for big groups

Host was easy to reach and house was great. Fully stocked. There's a gas fireplace downstairs and a wood-burning fireplace upstairs. We found there were actually 6 private rooms for sleeping (if you use the extra mattresses provided) and a 7th sleeping loft with bunkbeds - so the house is really huge and great for big families. The big central open staircase might not be great for babies/toddlers - but was great for our group of teens and adults.

Great Tahoe location

We had a great time at Drake’s property. The house is gorgeous and has plenty of space to host multiple families. It’s really close to Northstar Resort so if you are a skier that’s a plus but there are also a lot of trails you can reach for winter or summer hiking.
