This modern ski trails condo was perfect for our family of four. It’s impossible to beat the ski in - ski out benefits of this unit. Interiors are all modern and cozy. Short walk to the village for restaurants and fun
The location offered excellent proximity to both the village and the ski slopes. The house was well-maintained, with the bathroom and shower being notably clean and recently updated. Communication with the property manager was highly accessible, effortless, and conducted with utmost professionalism.
The property was very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. It is nicely updated and seemed brand new. It was in a great location at Northstar with a short walk down the path to the village. The property does not have AC, and we happened to be there during the July heat wave, but with the windows open it cooled off nicely downstairs at night.
