Cute and Cozy

The condo was clean, cute, cozy, small bathrooms and cold downstairs. It did the job. My issue is with Vacasa's new check-in policy where you have to upload your driver's license AND a selfie before you are allowed to check-in. I did not know this when I made the reservation and they took my money with no refunds allowed. We stayed at another Vacasa house in Northstar just two months prior and such a policy did not exist. It makes me feel like a criminal!! We just sold our Northstar house 6 months ago and it was a VRBO rental for 10 years so I know the vacation rental business. I would never do this to a renter. Thus, we will not be renting from Vacasa rentals in the future.

Great Stay

Everything was as described and we had an amazing weekend. The property management was very quick to answer any questions we had. Our favorite part was the free shuttle that drops you off at the village.

Great Place!

We like the place (we stayed here last year as well). This is the about the 12th year in a row we have stayed in Tahoe). Everything was clean. Great WiFi. Quiet place with great view. We liked the keyless entry (except for them disabling it early — we paid for late checkout and couldn’t get back in prior to check out time). Comfortable bed in master bedroom!

Good, But Needs Improvements

Stayed here four days for Thanksgiving 2022. Pros: 1) Good location with convenient shuttle to village. 2) Spacious layout with bedrooms downstairs. 3) Gas fireplace is quick, easy & very cozy. 4) Dog friendly. Cons: 1) Dishwasher did not work. We had Thanksgiving dinner & then no dishwasher to help with big cleanup. 2) Sink in smallest bathroom would not drain. 3) Internet (wireless network) info. provided was not correct. Had to use an unsecured network for Black Friday shopping. 4) TV has no cable connection, it uses streaming services only (via wireless network). The Vizio interface is difficult to navigate. You need to know your services (i.e. Netflix) username & password. We had to watch a couple important football games on small iPad. 5) The two bedrooms downstairs are very cold most of the time. To get them warm means the upstairs living room is hot.

Good weekend getaway

Stayed there during the MLK weekend holiday. Bedrooms downstairs are cold but blankets are plenty. We had a couple issues with the dishwasher and TV. Location in the Northstar region is pretty perfect. Overall, it's good for a weekend but I wouldn't want to stay there much longer.

Very clean, nice condo in Northstar resort

We had a great stay. The Northstar shuttle was very quick and convenient. The condo was clean, needs comfortable, etc. The only complaint is the heating is a bit uneven. When it was warm and toasty upstairs it was freezing downstairs so to get it warm downstairs we had to make it crazy hot upstairs. But it worked and overall we were really comfortable. Would recommend.

Not great, not horrible

Great location but somewhat frustrating. No information on how to operate TV remotes, very confusing,,no cable hook up for bedroom TV. No information pamphlet on how to access bus shuttle to village no Information on village restaurants, things to do, ski office and rental hours would have been helpful. Overall ok.
