This property was more than we expected from the internet description. The process of renting the property was super easy and the owners always got back to me if I had questions.
The home was large and had a great open floorplan. We loved the 85" screen TV on the fireplace to watch the Olympics. The kitchen was amazing and had two sinks, two garbage/recycle cans and was well stocked with plenty of dishware, flatware, pots and pans and cooking utensils (this is unusual for a rental). The home looked like it was new and had beautiful decorations and personal touches throughout the home. There was plenty of seating areas including two dining areas, two decks with chairs and seating areas in front of the TV/fireplace.
We were a party of 7 adults, 1 teenager and 2 children and there was plenty of room for all of us. One of the reasons we chose this rental was because it had four Master Bedroom Suites with their own Bathrooms. Everything looked new and was beautifully decorated. The adjustable backs on the beds and the mattresses were very comfortable. The bathrooms were well stocked with soap, shampoo, lotion, TP, Kleenex box, etc. They also provided extra towels and blankets which is so unusual in a rental. The downstairs area had two separate bunkbed areas, a nice size room with a TV, table and chairs, seating, a make down coach and it's own well-appointed bathroom (as well as a full size washer and dryer). The kids loved it down there.
The home is located just around the corner from the Northstar Village. They had some games for the kids to play, a little put put game and mountain biking is really big there. Due to COVID restrictions, some of the restaurants and shops were closed until next year 2022. Normally, they would have concerts on the weekend (according to the sign). It's a really beautiful place to go. There is a shuttle bus that is available for all of the residents in the Northstar complex which is really handy.
All in all, we just loved this property and plan on going back again next year for our annual family vacation. The owner mentioned to me that they intend on installing AC this winter. This would be a plus as, unfortunately, we experienced some severe smoke from the Northern CA wildfires for two of the days that we were there. It is also hotter than it used to be. The other days that we were there were beautiful and clear and it cooled down at night.
