This home was great, we had 6 people stay comfortably! It was a very cozy home and very close to Northstar where we skied and snowboarded. Enjoyed watching 3 feet of snow fall while sitting by the fireplace watching TV and playing cards.

Very nice home, convenient,

Altogether a great stay. Nice house, well equipped. I'd given 4.5 stars if I could. There were a couple of drawbacks, relatively minor, but I'm someone who feels 5 stars is for a perfect experience. The manager was very responsive to our one outreach.The community center was an excellent place to relax and burn some additional energy after snow activities.

Beautiful Cabin

We truly loved our stay at this beautiful cabin! It was worth every penny! We loved how open spacious it was and loved the big windows and high ceilings! The inside was nice & clean! Very comfortable beds as well, we enjoyed staying there & the kitchen was fully equipped we cooked there every night we stayed there. The rec center was perfect & there was ice skating at the Northstar as well we took our family & we all enjoyed it as well. Everything was close by & we didn’t have a hard time with anything. The owner was responsive as well when I had a question. Overall I would come back as I already had recommended it to my family & friends & so many asked about it as I posted pictures it was breathtaking!

Cabin in Truckee

Overall the property was clean and as pictured. While there weren't any structural concerns, cosmetically, the furnishings have seen some wear and a few need attention. Carpet in the main closet seemed to have been patched with multiple types of similar carpet, kitchen cabinetry needs a fresh coat of paint, the oven and cooktop knobs had the references worn off (so you weren't sure what temp you were turning the dial to.) We did appreciate the convenience of having coffee, tea, honey, spices, and the bathrooms outfitted with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion. Location was pretty good - just outside the Northern resort. Short drive to Kings Beach and Truckee with plenty of options to gather goods, dine, and shop.

nice, but disappointing details...

on our first night at the property, i had brought some nice steaks to BBQ, only to find when ready to grill that the propane tank was empty. we had to borrow a tank from a friendly neighbor. this was the first of several items that should be an easy fix when getting property ready for next guests, but wasn't. other items were there was no laundry detergent, and two of the bathrooms didn't have hand soap. the location was great as you could walk to the village (i only know this from a neighbor, it isn't listed in the property book) and the two decks are nice.

Beautiful cabin in an outstanding location. We couldn't find beach towels and after going to King's Beach wet beach towels were discovered in the washing machine. Towels in the bathrooms were not very comfortable and smelled of mold. No wash cloths were available. "Body wash" soap in the upstairs shower was empty after one day. We hosted a dinner with family and the bench seat on the picnic table collapsed, causing three people to hit the ground and shearing off a 7 x 5 cm area of skin on the back of my son's leg. Someone had tied string around the joint on the bench seat, suggesting that this may be an ongoing problem. My 6 ft 3 inch son was unable to sleep on any of the twin beds as all were too short to accommodate him.

Delightful Welcoming Cabin

A really great cabin, fully stocked with amenities and supplies, in a beautiful setting. Arriving here is like stepping into your family cabin, decorated with art and whimsy over the years; casual in style with comfortable furniture. It was fully stocked with paper products, cleaning supplies, and personal care items - not just the thin starter roll or single packet of dishwasher detergent. The kitchen had quality appliances, pots and pans of all shapes and sizes, and enough glasses and dishes for an army. The Owners clearly want you to feel at home here, and have worked hard to ensure that you do. We spent a great deal of time out on the front deck outfitted with comfy cushions and pillows to take advantage of the setting, a perfect place for morning coffee. A note of caution for those who are more experienced in life (older), the cabin has several short sets of stairs (4 to 8) steps between some levels. This was not an issue for our gimpy ones, but the set between the entry level and the main living area were shallow and our big feet were no match. This was not a problem going up, but attention must be paid on the way down - we mastered the descent within a day or two. This should not deter you from staying here, we loved our stay and will most certainly rent again!

Mostly pleasant

The cabin was pleasant, and as described. The location was great. North Star resort is our go to area in Truckee. The kitchen was great, and was stocked with everything necessary to cook for our group. The only issues we found, were the beds. They were not comfortable. Highly uneven mattresses in multiple rooms. That is a big deal for me. Unless that was something that was updated in the future on the property, I would not stay here again for that reason alone. Also, I know that there are many cabins that don’t have central AC because it normally doesn’t get that hot, or at the very least the temps drop enough at night for the outside air to cool you off if you open the windows. However, it does get hot during the summer and it gets very warm inside the home. Especially on the second floor. There are standing portable fans in pretty much every room, except the living area. It was too hot for our taste. The only relief we got was being away on the water. This is something we will be sure to look for on other listings before booking. Otherwise it was mostly pleasant and the property manager was readily available, and answered us when contacted.

Beautiful, spacious home!

Beautiful mountain escape with great gathering space in kitchen, living room and porch in front and back. Nicely decorated and perfect location between Truckee and the lake. Only reason not giving 5 stars is because some appliances didn't work well. But would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property near lots of attractions!

The owner was so kind and quick to take care of a heating issue we had on our first night, the property itself was gorgeously furnished and decorated with a wonderful kitchen for a chef or two, and decks for our small children to play on while we were getting dinner prepared. The property has spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, all with many amenities and items we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked with spices and utensils for cooking, which was very convenient. The front and back yards were also great for our kids to experience snow days. Would love to stay here again!

A True Mountain Cabin....

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but I am giving the cabin 4 stars because of the road noise coming from the main road into Northstar. I wished we had known about it. The noise was enough that we didn't feel we could use the back deck, and it was distracting when sleeping with the windows open at night. It did calm down during the week, but it was still there. I know no one else mentions it, and its probably not an issue in the winter, but in the heat of summer, we really heard it. The other thing we noticed is that the steps onto the main level of the cabin are a little steep, and might be a challenge to an older person or someone with larger feet/shoes. Otherwise, the cabin is just as pictured; the library is great; the front deck was amazing; it was easy to get in touch with management; the beds and linens were comfy; it was well stocked (including fans which we needed because the weather was hot and smoky!); it was super easy to get to the rec center and village; our boys ages 11 and 7 loved it; and the cabin did provide that old school yet modern mountain cabin feel.

Beautiful, Unique, Well Stocked

This cabin is absolutely lovely and has a unique and welcoming interior that made it even more fun to stay here. The deck was comfortable and an amazing place to relax and look at the stars. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and cookware and a second deck off the kitchen was a great place to eat or look at the trees and paint. The owners also have a wonderful book collection on a very interesting shelving system made of blocks. It was clear that the owners are creative interesting people and that added a lot to the feeling of the place. Very welcoming. Highly recommend!

Cozy and convenient

This cabin was perfect for our multi family stay. There is enough room to spread out and be comfortable. The decorating made it feel so welcoming and it was evident that thought and time went in to every detail. We can’t wait to come back and stay longer. The only reason for 4 stars is that there was not a jacuzzi at the cabin.

Wow! Wow! Wow! This place is great. Not only well appointed with all the luxury necessities, but very cozy and stylish. The room layout leads to the ability to gather as a family and the bedroom layouts allow for quite time when needed. It's a cook's kitchen and great place to gather as a group of friends and family.
