Lots of pests: ants, spiders, mosquitos. Bed had stains on the mattress. Felt itchy. No AC so it was very hot. I would put a portable ac in the unit for the summer.

Would definitely stay here again.
Cozy 2 bed 2 bath property about a mile from northstar. Two queen bedrooms are located downstairs with one full bathroom while the main floor has a full bathroom, living area, kitchen, and a fireplace. Perfect for two couples who are traveling together. Fireplace was wonderful (bring your own firewood), the beds/pillows were comfortable, and the water pressure in the showers was great! The kitchen was a little bare bones but nothing that couldn't be stocked by the local grocery store. Wifi was only 2g so it worked well with everything except zoom calls which were a bit spotty on my zoom call receivers' end. Switched to my phone hot spot but i have at&t and it only had two bars. Oh well....Got my morning work calls done regardless. Would be great if they could switch to 5g. Can park up to 2 cars and the village is only a short 3-minute drive away - about a mile so not walkable in ski or snowboots but an easy 3 min drive if someone is dropping you off at the base. Note: the hot tub is located at the association center (not sure where this is but you have to drive a few minutes and pay $10/person for use). We never ended up using it but maybe next time. Would recommend this property and stay here again - great price point.

Not quite like the pictures
This location is amazing, bus stop to Northstar is right there, a very short walk down the driveway. So if you're looking for easy access to the gondola, this is a great value.
Now if you're looking for comfort as well, I have some notes for you:
The condo lighting is not great, almost cave like, the water heater must be small, because two showers, using both bathrooms, halfway through went freezing cold... not fun in 30 degrees 😒 and the bed mattress' are desperately begging to be retired, I haven't slept in a taco bed for a long time, and I did not need that experience after a day of working hard on the mountain, the high ceilings also had a large amount of cobwebs, and please wash the dishes before you use them, because I found two dirty wine glasses in the cupboard.

Wonderful Condo - Terrible Property Manager
The condo and its location are great - in fact we met the owners and they are delightful, however I cannot say the same about the property managers. I do go into a complaint fest here, but only because I think the owners should be aware of what we experienced. The condo was nice split level 2 bdrm/2bath with 2 queen beds - tho I swear when I booked it there were 2 twin beds in one of the bedrooms?? The location is great with easy access on the shuttles. It is up a steep hill, so be sure you have 4WD or chains in snow b/c it can get slippery. The road to the lodge backs up terribly at the end of the day, so plan accordingly if your trying to pick someone up at the lodge - better to have them take the shuttle back up. The set up of the house is great for a family of four, but could get a little crowded with limited seating due to the location of the sofa to the TV. The kitchen was a nice size and easy to cook in, however we found many dirty dishes, along with the fridge and stovetop with food debris. The dishwasher was not functioning and there was a huge puddle of water under the washing machine - so we were told we could not use it - this was a big issue because we had picked up my son who had already been away a week and all of his clothes needed laundered. The fireplace is a gas starter, which was easy, but make sure to bring your own firewood - none was provided. BUY INSURANCE - With the big storm that came in NYE, we couldn't get to the property - got stuck and were not able to make it up to the property because they closed I-80 - there was no flexibility with the property manager. We had asked days before we left if they would consider moving our dates because it looked unlikely that we would be able to pass on the roads. They said NO. We got an email about 5 days before our stay offering a large discount to extend our stay, but given the uncertaintly of the weather, we did not act on it. Given that we missed our first day/night b/c the FWY was CLOSED, I asked if they would honor the discounted rate if we decided to stay a day longer given our situation. They said NO. As it turned out the roads were once again going to close so we ended up leaving a night early anyway, so we lost $$ on the front end and back end of the stay due to unprecedented conditions. NorthStar resort didn't even have the whole mountain open and opened late during our stay due to heavy snow and avalanche conditions. Terrible Property Mgmt - Great Condo!

Basic but sufficient.
Property location for skiers is good. Has a good ski condo vibe. Bus picked us up in our unit parking lot and the bus back was way quicker than for the other resort lots. Beds are fairly comfortable. Bathrooms are nice overall. Kitchen is only modestly supplied. Nothing fancy. Good size table though. TV is really small and neighbor walls are thin. Overall it worked but with just a little more effort this place could be great.

Nice place & location. Heating a little uneven
We enjoyed staying in this complex- it's peaceful and the shuttle to northstar is very convenient and the app used to hail a shuttle works well. Some reviews have said this place feels "dated"- I didn't think so. The interior felt newly renovated for the most part, just with more traditional styling. My only minor complaint was that the bedrooms for this place got extremely warm at night with the doors closed, since the thermostat is outside the rooms. With bedroom doors open it was ok.

Great Stay!!
The property is in a great quiet location! Driving distance to beaches, stores and restaurants, walk to the Northstar Village. The condo has everything you would need right down to coffee filters, bath soaps, and fans.
For such a nice condo, it did need some simple improvements; working cable, broken screen, window that didn’t close properly, closet door missing a screw to slide properly, light bulbs in the dining light, a toilet that kept running (flap needed), and the washing machine lid that had been broken. Most inexpensive simple fixes- not sure if that’s a commentary on the property management.
The simple fixes I’m sure will be repaired and I look forward to our next visit!

My family and I were very happy with our stay. Although some items were a bit outdated we were only ever there when we would come home after a long day of adventuring out. The heated pool at the NPOA was amazing and easy to reserve online, the only downside was that the hot tub was unavailable due to covid restrictions.
Overall our stay went off without a glitch.

Great condo in Northstar
This unit is the perfect Northstar location! The unit itself was clean - but as you look around there were a lot of cobwebs and dust on the blinds. It is kind of dark, so it's easy to miss at first glance. So while we never felt it was dirty overall, just the opposite, it was clean and habitable - but it really needs a deep cleaning. Looking back on comments from over a year ago, the cobwebs were mentioned in the kitchen. The patio furniture is flimsy and sparse but served it's purpose (as long as you don't apply pressure to the table). The TV in the living room was from 1994 and is horrible. There is also only one other small TV in the one bedroom that has no cable. These comments were also noted well over a year ago. The owner needs to spend a few dollars and buy some nicer patio furniture and upgrade the TVs. You don't come to this area to watch TV, but when you have some downtime, it's nice to turn it on and then relax on the patio without fear of the patio furniture falling apart. Prior comments also mention that the sliding door screen handle was broken well over a year ago and it is still broken. It is also VERY quiet in this complex, so even talking outside, you are heard many units away. Overall we were very happy with our stay and this condo - I just needed to note the comments that have been talked about for years with no action taken. If the owner spent a little effort in a deep clean, new patio furniture and new TVs this would be a 5 star condo all day long! We would stay again with these changes implemented!

Great NorthStar stay
We rented this place with another couple and it was great for our NorthStar stay. The shuttle stop is a short walk from the condo. The condo had everything we needed although if you plan on cooking, bring your own spices and knives. The condo was a bit darker than it appears in the photos and for some reason the bathrooms were stocked with plenty of conditioner but not shampoo. It snowed 7" the first night we were there and in the morning someone had shoveled the pathways and the plow came in a cleared the roads by 10am. We would definitely stay here again if coming to NorthStar.

Smaller than expected
The living room area was smaller than I expected and there was not even room for four people to sit on comfortable chairs. Also the TV/DVD system is quite old and we could never get it to work right. I find that unacceptable. The check-out instructions did not remind us to return our parking passes and inadvertently we left with them and had to overnight them back which was expensive and stressful. Also, we were not told where the pass for the rec center was but luckily we were let in without having it. For these reason I can not recommend this unit.
