A ‘winner’ for location, size and accouterments. This place has ample space. Parents and adult mid-20s kids & partners. The 8-9 adults could gather, mingle and yet find space for themselves (working/chilling). Kitchen very well appointed - lots of mugs, plates, cookware. So happy spices and staples were available. Host company very responsive (had a few small issues w/ garage door, tv remote) The steam shower in master is fab. Shuttle Pick up around the resort was efficient no driving inside Northstar required. Large family room / kitchen table for holiday games - would expect decks awesome in summer for golf and lounging. Overall a great choice.
Great ski rental. Northstar shuttle picks up right at the end of the driveway. Tons is space, rooms, and bathrooms. Best provisioned kitchen I’ve ever encountered in a vacation rental. Would definitely stay here again!!
