About this lodge
Thank you for visiting our home.
Very important that all groups understand what it is they are booking.
I have found clarity and understanding helps with perception of your expected experience.
This is a large house that hosts larger groups. The larger the group, the more the entire group needs to fully understand the experience they signed up for.
So we are all on the same page-
THIS IS A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD NO PARTIES / LOUD MUSIC ETC
RESPECTFUL GROUPS ONLY
We do not rent to any age partiers.
30ppl allowed until 10pm. Then reverts to 20 adults and unlimited children.
We are geared to respectful, large multi generational families or mature group gatherings. Family reunions, birthdays fun, etc
This house is NOT a guys or gals party weekend house.
If that is your intent, this is not a fit.
If you are coming up to the mountains to enjoy your family or friends in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood setting
THIS IS IT!

This was a great location and it accommodated all our children and grandchildren.
4.7
We had 13 family comfortably stay in this really great house. There were all the amenities we could want. It was also reasonably priced. Would definitely stay here again.
4.7
Accommodated several families with many bedrooms and bathrooms. Lots of sport activities and hiking trails. Fun watching golfers go by during the day.
4.7
This home is in a beautiful location near Lake Tahoe and the Northstar Ski Resort. The home has lots of space and plenty of things to do for every age group. The hot tub, pool table, horseshoes and golf area were favorites of our grandchildren. The kitchen was well stocked with large bowls, large pots/pans, and every cooking implement we needed including 2 waffle irons. We loved staying there.
4.7
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Everything was perfect, worked, and so much to do, not only on property but in the surrounding area. We used the home for a family reunion of about 18 folks and just the right amount of room for everything!

I reached out multiple times to host via phone as he said was ok, but never got an answer. Although we made the best of our trip, we did have a lot of issues in the house. A lot of the lights, especially in the downstairs main areas (both living rooms, dining room, game area and kitchen) were not working. Also a huge issue we had was there was no hot water in half the house mainly the bathrooms upstairs and downstairs by the kitchen. Another issue we ran into was the pullout sofa bed on the 2nd floor, near the stairs is broken and extremely uncomfortable. The fireplace in the kitchen den doesn’t work. Neither did the outside propane firepit (we had to buy a lighter to start it). Some of the chairs cushions in the game area dining room are torn up. Some of the outlets in the bathrooms are not working. Also we had to put something over the missing light switch cover in the game room because of the electrical hazard it was (we have little ones). 2 bathroom doors don’t lock (including the half bathroom downstairs. Kitchen faucet is completely loose and wobbles. Horse shoe pit iron pole was broken, but we fixed it. Upstairs far bedroom with 2 beds has a broken/ loose wall lamp and some broken blinds on the window. Yes, we understand most of this is cosmetic and materialistic, however we felt that with the amount of money we invested in this trip for the week, we had higher expectations. Place has potential but needs work and would like better communication.
4.7
Pleasant locale with ample rooms for 19 family members. Kitchen and game areas were well stocked and organized. We may consider a return visit to this location.
4.7
Very spacious with lots of owner-supplied amenities including recreational equipment.
4.7
Our stay at Steve's property was perfect.
Plenty of parking at the house. Very fast and convenient shuttle service to the main village. We didn't need to use our cars for the entire stay!
Very nice hot tub to rest the legs after skiing.
Great kitchen with everything we needed to cook an elaborate breakfast and dinner for everyone in the house.
4.7
My friends and I travel to Tahoe every winter for a reunion, and this is our favorite place to stay. Tons of rooms for everyone to spread out, and also really nice spaces to come together. Love the ping pong table. Everything is very clean, well furnished, appreciate the extra fridges and washer/dryers. Host was very communicative, and offered us early check in and late check out. Also helped facilitate returning a forgotten item, which was above and beyond! Will stay here next winter!
4.7
We love the layout with all the bedrooms and bathrooms. Hot tub, backyard and pool/ping pong keep the kids well occupied too!
4.7
We were so lucky to have snow. We used the Northstar app to get the shuttle and it was so convenient to get dropped off after skiing. Great space for a friend group get-together. We have been coming here for years. Thank you very much for sharing your home!
4.7
We had a lovely Family Ski Trip stay with our big group. Steve was very responsive and helpful.
4.7
This is a great place for a large group. A great variety of indoor games and equipment for snowplay is wonderful. The Kitchen is well stocked love have two dishwashers for our large group.
4.7
Our group consisted of 6 families all with kids that ranged from 5-11 year olds. What a game changer to have Northstar shuttle pick you right in front of the house. The proximity to Northstar is unmatched. The house and kitchen are well stocked. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The owner of the house was so responsive and great with communication. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
4.7
House was large enough for our family (13) that we were all able to spread out and have our own space but still be together. Kitchen is large and easy to make big meals. Burners are tricky to light though. Some mattresses and carpet could be updated, but overall everyone was happy and slept well. House was clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely book this same house again. House is packed with things to do inside and out. Kept kids entertained well (ages 3-15). Steve was helpful on giving local suggestions and responded quickly if/when we reached out. Location was perfect for free shuttle to slopes.
4.7
Our family decided that January 1-6 would be a great time for Christmas and would eliminate the pull and tug deciding which house to be at for the morning, evening, Christmas Eve or dinner. The celebration with the family of the partners was on Christmas and with our family on New Year's. We spent most of the week playing games; all kinds of games. The younger ones went out to play or found a game inside, too, and we could have our meals in a separate space from the game boards. Great week; great space. We were fortunate not to have to plow through any snow to get there, but disappointed because there was no snow until the last day!
4.7
The place is perfect for our large family with so many things to do at the house and up at Northstar. The shuttle is convenient and easy to use. We loved being able to cook and hang out in one area for meals! The house has several spaces for everyone to do different things. The house was beautifully decorated for the holidays and it made us feel at home. Steve was responsive and very easy to communicate about any questions or needs during our stay. We can't wait to enjoy the place again!
4.7
Great house for our family. It has everything you could ever need! Steve , the owner was great to communicate with . I know some people commented on washing towels before you leave , so we had all our family bring a towel for the last day and washed all our towels the night before. It worked out great! We also chose to take paper plates and utensils so there wasn’t much to clean. Had an amazing time! We would definitely come back again! Also , loved the free shuttles to ski resort.
4.7
Huge house with many amenities for large groups!
Ping pong, billiard, darts, hot tub, BBQ, TV, big kitchen with everything you could need, you name it, there's something for everybody, and plenty of space, you'll never feel crowded.
Hands down recommend this property, specially for big 14+ people groups. Also great communication with the property manager, super helpful at all times!
4.7
What a perfect spot to spend quality time with family. We filled every room, allowing each pod to have their own space, and never felt like one area was too crowded. With young kids included, there were so many options for entertainment / playing.
The house is in a great location with a beautiful view and a short drive to the lake / resort.
The kitchen could easily handle our big meals all together.
Once we figured out how to handle the trash, it was easy peasy! Just be prepared to have a few car loads taken to the shared dumpster area.
It was so cozy and we’re all so thankful to have had this space.
4.7
Great property for a large group. Accommodated our large group including 2 babies and a 2 year old. Lots of games and fun things to do. Owner very responsive. Would stay again.
4.7
Great place to unwind with a large group. Plenty of space to spread out and most every amenity one could want. Would book again.

This home was perfect for our large group. This year was the first year without our Mother, who's passed in January of this year. Our parents started our reunion 30 years ago and since then, we've continued our reunion as siblings with our children and grandchildren. The space was great and it accommodated our family. All the games from the volleyball net, ping pong table, pool table, hot tub, and many more board games was a great hit! Appreciate your help with the check in process. Helped us out a lot. Thank you thank you!!
4.7
this house is very well stocked and comfortable. we had a great time!
4.7
Our family of 14 spent a terrific week at this home, and it was everything we could have hoped for. It's in a great location, and the mornings on the deck looking over the golf course and forest were wonderful. The house had good spaces for gathering (and we definetly used the ping pong table) but also enough space for quiet time when desired. The outdoor area and games were well used. We appreciated the double refrigerator setup, and the huge kitchen and adjoining sitting area were perfect for group gatherings while cooking. Communication with Steve was easy and fast, and we appreciated the local area tips we received from him. We hope to return again.
4.7
Online listing said 8 bedrooms but there were only 7, and it said 5 bathrooms but there were 6. The inside of the cabin was rustic with a lot of character and we loved it. Kitchen space was great. Loved that it had two large refrigerators and two large tables. Loved the gas fire pit on the deck and the hot tub. The biggest downside was having to wash all of our own towels before checkout and having to dump our garbage off site. We have a large family and it was very comfortable and fun for our reunion. Would definitely love to stay here again.
4.7
Great house design for family reunion. Lots of space for kids and adults to visit in separate areas of the house. Comfortable beds. The king size beds were very welcome. Communication with property manager and housekeeper was easy and friendly. Any questions or concerns were addressed promptly.
4.7
Our large group of people enjoyed a wonderful weekend staying at this cabin. It fit us all really well with plenty of space. Towels were not an issue for us, as the bathrooms all supplied multiple and a cabinet in the laundry had many more to use (plus beach towels available!). We didn’t have time to explore the resort amenities but would have loved too. Gorgeous mornings spent on the deck. Would stay here again - and next time much longer than a short weekend!
4.7
Our family of 24 had ample room in this house and the backyard provided a safe play area for the many kids we had. Rec center fantastic.
Property owner extremely responsive over some minor issues
4.7
House could use some updating- such as the carpet. But overall, it was good. Lots of things for kids to do such as ping pong, badminton, horseshoes and a putting green! The resort access was awesome!
4.7
An incredibly spacious and versatile home in a spectacular, quiet location.
4.7
The house was super comfortable. We loved all the activities available right at the house- both inside and out! Weather was great, communication fabulous!
4.7
The House is as advertised. Great Location. Large enough to comfortably fit 18 Adults plus 5 Teens. Kitchen well stocked. Fun backyard with Badminton, Putting surface, Horseshoes, Fire Pit & Hot Tub, along with inside activities of Darts, Pool Table, & Ping Pong. Easy access to Northstar resort activities of Hiking, Basketball, Swimming & Pickleball. Enjoyed a fantastic King's Beach day. Had a time!!
4.7
The house was amazing! We had a very relaxing time hanging out playing cornhole and enjoying the view. We even saw a bear! My only complaint would be no dish soap or small wash rags in the kitchen, no trash cans in the bathrooms and not enough towels or coffee cups. We look forward to staying here again! Thank you so much :-)
4.7
We had a family reunion over Easter weekend with 23 people (ages 1-78) who came from California, Nevada, and Florida, and every person loved it! The house was even lovelier in person compared to the pictures. There were so many areas to relax and gather, lots of space for the kids to roam about, and windows all around with lots of light! It definitely felt like our home for those few days.
The house has everything you need so all you need to bring are your personal items and food and drinks. The kitchen was one of our favorite rooms as we spent lots of time cooking and baking together, eating, and chatting (plenty of pans, utensils, plates, cups, cutting boards, mixing bowls, and much more). We brought some spices and condiments, but they had most of what we needed already. Loved that they had a rice cooker and Keurig, which was used a lot. Everyone enjoyed the great room and played many games of pool, darts, and ping pong, watched movies, played the piano, poured drinks at the bar, played lots of games, and finished a large puzzle at the dining table (we did bring our own puzzle after reading a review mentioning some missing pieces for the ones there).
Outside, everyone enjoyed the hot tub, sledding, and playing in the snow, which the kids enjoyed the most, and even used the grill to make some dinner for all. It snowed one of the days, and we were all perfectly happy staying in all day. Don't forget to check out the storage room to the left of the front door there as it's full of other items you may wish to use - we found an air pump there we needed to blow up our snow tubes!
The location is awesome and easy to get to. Stores are not too far for anything else you need, as well as restaurants, casinos, and North Lake Tahoe. Getting to and from North Star Resort was very easy and convenient with the free shuttle service - it arrived very quickly after requesting from the phone app and picked us all up right in front of the house.
The instructions for check-out were simple enough. The only thing is one of the dryers was out, which was expected as we were informed before we arrived, but we made it work!
Would definitely recommend this place and we hope to come back again! We made many good memories here and had an amazing family reunion. Some of the kids even cried when we were leaving! The host is very friendly, communicative, and accommodating - thank you very much, Steve!
4.7
We really enjoyed staying at Steve’s home. It has everything you could possibly need and more. The decor is really beautiful and very well set up. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home. It’s also on the shuttle for northstar making it easy to get there for skiing.
4.7
Great home for a big family and friend gathering. Clean, organized, and comfortable. Has two dishwashers!
House matches the listing, the neighborhood is lovely, the hot tub was hot ;) Would stay again.
4.7
Our group needed seven bedrooms and Steve’s house was just that. A very large house to host seven families.
It is very dated, just like most houses in the area. There were holes in the walls and poorly patched up holes. Bathrooms could use a sprucing up. One of the toilet seats kept popping up. One of the dishwashers were broken upon arrival which meant we constantly had to run and unload the one working dishwasher. The handle of the other dishwasher kept popping off making it hard to open and close the door.
Kitchen was very well stocked with every kitchen gadget and accessory imaginable. Strange that of the 50+ plates in the kitchen, there were only like 4 mugs and about 6 bowls. Another thing the house was short on were towels. With seven bedrooms they needed about 6 more towels.
Backyard is a great space for kids to play in the snow. It’s a bit downward sloping so perfect for a nice, steady ride on the sled.
Northstar shuttle was super easy and convenient to request. You could even walk there if you wanted, it’s very close.
Overall a great place to stay if you need a large house, photos are an accurate depiction of the rooms/house.
As others have mentioned, washing and drying towels for such a large house before checking out at 10am is a huge negative. For that alone, I would look for another property if I needed a large house near Truckee/North Star.
4.7
We spent ski week at this house, and enjoyed every minute of it. The teens were happy and fully entertained with the pool/ping pong table, and darts. The 2 separate dining spaces were perfect to seat our entire group. We even had room to host another family for dinner. There was a lot of snow, and because we were on the shuttle route, we never had to drive. The kitchen is FULLY stocked, and having the dual washers/dryers was very handy. (There are 2 dishwashers, but one was broken when we were there) We’ve rented many houses up by Northstar, and we love that this houses has a huge foyer with lots of hooks and seating. The worst thing after getting back from skiing is walking into a cramped hallway with no where to take your ski clothing off. The other excellent perk is the shed right outside the front door! What a great place to store all our skis/snowboard and other snow gear. The layout of the house was perfect with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We’d definately return to rent this house again!
