This place was absolutely amazing. Walking distance from the slopes, right near the village, which had so much to offer. The rec center was awesome. Such a great time. Thank you for everything.

Riley is a great host. The condo is in a great location with easy access to the village and gondola. The unit is comfortable and well appointed. Access to the HOA recreation center with full gym, lap pool, and multiple hot tubs was a welcome bonus. We hope to visit again.

What a find! The unit was immaculately clean, spacious and comfortable. The ideal spot to 'come home to' after a fun day of skiing and just behind Northstar Village. Everything exceeded expectations. Wonderful beds, luxurious bedding and extra everything. closet and drawer space. Soft bath towels (and lots of them), toiletries. Kitchen was fully supplied with anything you'd need to prepare and cook a meal or enjoy takeout with plenty of plates, glassware, silverware. We only stayed for one night but I wish we'd been able to stay for a week!

Northstar Uphill Condo

The condo was newly renovated, efficient, clean and contemporary. We enjoyed it very much. Would have liked a balcony or deck, and a little more walkability to Northstar Village, but overall we were quite pleased and would stay again. Guests should know there are 10 steps or so from the parking lot down to the building, and a few more steps up to the condo itself.

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Absolutely terrible communication with the owner. I booked this property for a night to enjoy a weekend with my family. We were awoken at 7am to the sound of incredibly loud construction coming from the building. Sawing, hammering, pounding, etc. This deprived us of enjoying the rental for the entire morning. The presence of construction in the building was NOT disclosed prior to booking. I messaged the property manager/owner both on the VRBO app and directly using the phone number provided. No response. Crickets. I further followed up with VRBO customer service to see if they could get in contact with the owner, but again, no response. Zero accountability, zero communication. The owner failed to disclose anything about the construction noises and completely ignored my complaints.
