What a gem - this is truly a ski-in ski-out property. The house was perfect for a family with 4 bunk beds and 3 full bedrooms. Beds were all super comfortable. Lots of fun board games, great kitchen. I look forward to staying again!

Best location on the mountain. Truly amazing. Ski all day, pop off the skis at the back door, heat up some coco, and then hop in the spa. Nice kitchen with good pantry space. They have all the basic dishes and cookware. We did bring our own crockpot for stew and a large pot for homemade soup. Their largest pot could do soup for four, perhaps. Kitchen seating for six comfortably, and comfortably sleeps 10 (we had 8 adults), which means we had to eat in waves. It worked out fine. Beds were great, and we loved the window walls. Bring a Bluetooth speaker though; there wasn't any smart music devices. Nest thermostats downstairs and in beds, which allowed us to adjust temp in zones. One bedroom nest wasn't connecting, but the property manager was super responsive and everyone was comfy. It was a non issue. Very clean, but the place could probably benefit from maintenance of uncommon items (bath grout, throw pillows, etc). Wonderful stay overall. We made great memories here :)

Excellent house for a ski trip
The house makes the perfect ski trip get away. It's the second time we have stayed in the house and we have had a great time skiing in and out of it with the home run run literally on the backyard. Relaxing very comfortably in the house after skiing just completes the perfect day. The house will always be our first option for our ski trips.
Nice place but unable to use hot tub not very clean and no air condition in unit-so it was very hot and only one fan in closet!

Our family loved this rental! The home had everything that we needed and it was beautifully appointed-- everything was brand new. I especially loved all the windows. We also loved the access to the Treehouse clubhouse: Nice little gym/locker room, game room for the kids, and great views all within walking distance. I can't wait to go back!

4 Star
We were a group of 8 - 4 adults and 4 teens and this was our third stay at the home. Location is fantastic and physically the home is in excellent shape. Managing company is very quick to respond to issues/questions. Would have been 5 star, but the home is not as well stocked as it should be, especially at this price point - e.g., fewer hot tub towels than there are beds, we found ourselves washing mugs so everyone could have hot chocolate.
The house over all is very dirty. There was dirty bedding, walls, couches, pillows, and windows had hand prints all over them. The beds were very hard, you could just sleep on the floor instead, its that bad. The place was dirty and just over all not comfy. They also charged us for smoking in the house which never happened, I don't know how they get away with treating their guests this way DO NOT RENT THIS HOME...Honestly this was the worst experience ever. There is also a shuttle which they never told us about or gave us the number so we could get around easier.
We had an amazing time at Northstar. The house was right off of the Home Run trail which was great for our group. In the morning we would walk out our back door, click in, and head down to Highlands Gondola. We stopped back at the house for lunch and when people got tired they were able to ski home and be done. No waiting for busses, no walking to the car, no driving.
The house was fully equipped to handle 10 people (4 adults and 6 kids). We all had plenty of room for everyone to sleep and hang out. The jacuzzi on the deck was awesome. The pictures posted on VRBO are an accurate reflection of what the house looks like. If I had any criticism, I would say that the water pressure was not the strongest. My shower left a little to be desired but that was not the end of the world. The beds were great. Everyone commented how well they slept. The garage door opening was tall. I was able to park my SUV without taking my Thule roof rack off.
I recommend staying at this place.
My group ski together every Prez Day weekend ea year. This house is the most expensive we have rented and the value simply was not there.
These issues really have little to do with the management company but more to do with the owners.
First day there we noticed that the wifi stunk. The owners need to invest in a booster as the two master bedrooms didn't always get a good wifi signal if one at all.
Second - for a multi million $ house there were basic amenities missing besides the wifi.
~ not enough plates. The management company had to bring us more as we only had 6.
~no wine opener
~ no large mixing bowls
~ no platters
~ no broom, only a hand broom or vacuum
~ no blinds in the living room, which faces the ski run.
~ The house holds 10, however, the kitchen island only holds 6 seats. IN fact you can see in the pics that the island has 6 chairs, however, there is not room for more seats as there is the wine fridge and drawers in the island as well.
Third - damages to the condo
~ stool - was in tatters. the Management company took the item away.
~ grout behind the sink in the kitchen - was gross. it was cracked and open.
~ stains on the green chairs in the loft
~ peeling paint in the master bath in the north bathroom which indicates the fan in the bathroom doesn't work well.
~ drawer pull in the master bath was half on.
Why would you want your renters to see this?
I have pictures of all of these issues.
Fourth - things that did not work or work well.. besides the wifi
~ the lights in ea bunk
~ the light in the master bath cosmetic mirror
~ mini wine fridge - would randomly come open
~ HVAC - was crazy. one minute its is at temp and then one moment its in the high 70's and sounded like a freight train. Inevitably, it would come on at 12:30am. You could walk through the house and go from hot to cold in a matter of steps.
This is ski in and ski out. Pls note that if you come from the Ritz to ski down to the house, there is a long catwalk and then an incline before you can go down the hill to the house. Otherwise you can take that run from higher up that run without the catwalk.
Upside - the treehouse is in walking distance. no wine there so bring your own.
~ ski in/ski out was helpful inspite of the catwalk.
~ the style of furniture was cute.
~ convenient to the village and Ritz.
~ games throughout the house!
~ Hot tub
I am perplexed the cost of renting this house considering all of these issues!

5 Star except the home is very warm and uncomfortable in the summer. We were there in July and the house was too hot. We had to run the loud fans most of the day. Other than the heat, this house is great.
Separate from the ownership, it was very disappointing that we could not use the gym or pool other than a pool reservation because of COVID. Of course this is not the fault of the property.

Wonderful home and location
My family and I stayed here for several nights in October and couldn't have been any happier with our choice of where to stay. The home has every amenity we needed, was immaculately clean, was fully stocked with cookware, laundry room, etc., and had more than enough space for our one year old son to run around and tire himself out. The home is also very conveniently located right beside Northstar and in between Truckee and the Lake. Having never visited Lake Tahoe before, and with so many different neighborhoods and areas to choose from, we were quite fortunate to find this place in this location. I can't imagine there is a more convenient location for access to both Truckee and the Lake. Can't wait to come back when it's snowing and enjoy the benefits of its ski-in/out.
Also, can't say enough good things about Tahoe Getaways. The staff there does a great job someone is always available for any questions or help you may need. Highly recommend Tahoe Getaways and this particular vacation home.

Disappointing ending to a great trip.....
We loved the property and had an amazing family trip, so our sad conclusion has been very disheartening. With all the packing and excitement I failed to notice the original nightly rate had somehow doubled. Once we returned and I received my credit card bill I realized the mistake and called to ask about it. I have finally been given paperwork to fill out in the hopes of receiving some compensation. I think worse than the huge bill is the fact that I feel like no one, HomeAway or Tahoe Getaways, will take responsibility for the false advertising that went on. I would just like someone to admit that the original rate listed and the final rate charged are completely different. Tahoe Getaways lied and they are not sorry. Buyer beware when using this company. I have documented emails and photos of the original price and the final bill. Such a sad ending to a great trip.

We stayed with two families of five, kids ranging from 9-14 years old. The house was very clean and an excellent location. We were very lucky that there was enough snow to keep Home Run open so we could board down for lunch and at the end of the day to enjoy the sun deck and hot tub. The acoustics were great in the house in that you could sleep without hearing others who were up later. The Tree House was very fun and a great place to go to get a break from skiing or boarding. I could only suggest that the home be better stocked with drinking glasses, bowls and plates. The bathrooms could use more towel hooks and hand towel holders near the sink. Overall an excellent place and great management. A better warning should be placed near the fireplace as to how hot the glass can get. Very satisfied with our experience and hope to come back to this beautiful place!

Our family loved this vacation home. We would love to rent this beautiful home again. It slept 10 people very comfortably. Some people in our group were disappointed that there was no A/C. Since the house sleeps 10, there should be at least 10 dinner plates. We did miss not having a kitchen table since the counter only sat 6. The house was extremely clean and loved the beds.

This is my second time to stay at this property. The first time we had a very nice stay although there are several things I noticed. The BBQ was not hooked up until the day before we departed, there was a huge cob web high up on the large kitchen window and one bedroom window crank handle was broken. During my recent stay there were lots of spiders and cob webs. I killed 3 spiders all in the kitchen area and one spider that was living on the back of range/knife block wrapped in a large cob web that I did not kill! The window in the 3rd bedroom is still broken and the jacuzzi water was very cloudy. Some one had knocked down most of the large cob web that had been in the kitchen window before but if you don't kill the spider their back in a day or so with a new cob web. The homes are very nice but the spiders and the cob webs are a problem and not something I want to have in my rental home. I would recommend the home but also warn people about the spider problem.
