Spend some quality time together in this peaceful home with room for everyone. Enjoy sitting (or grilling) out on the deck with fresh forest air surrounding you at every turn. Though you might be tempted might want to spend your whole break playing board games in front of the stone gas fireplace. When it's time for meals, the spacious full kitchen features full-size appliances (including a wall-mounted double oven!), a cute two-person breakfast nook under a round window, and a two-corner breakfast bar that seats six guests total. Both a DVD player and a Blu-Ray player are on hand for enjoying your favorites while on vacation. The nearby Northstar Ski Resort provides a shared pool, tennis court, a fitness center, and much more for guests to enjoy during their stay.

To reach the first bedroom of this home, turn left as you enter the front door and head past the living room. This room near the hub of activity is the main bedroom of the home, and features a two-window view of the neighborhood in addition to an en suite bathroom with a shower/tub combination. The rest of the bedrooms are all upstairs, starting with the second overall bedroom just to the right of the top of the stairs. This lovely room features a neighborhood view and a vaulted ceiling. Past the hallway's full bathroom (featuring a shower/tub combination), the third bedroom is all set up for multiple guests with framed outdoor photography. Down the hall and past the upstairs den, the fourth bedroom features extra seating for guest comfort. The fifth and final bedroom is just past the second upstairs bathroom (featuring a shower/tub combination for guest use), and is all set up for multiple guests with extra seating.

House is in need of major repairs and updates
The kitchen is from at least the early 80's. The oven knobs kept falling off and you couldn't tell what temperature the over was. One bathroom shower door was broken the other shower only had one door.... Couches are really old and you sink all the way through to the metal bars of the sleeper inside. Vacasa was the actual management company and couldn't have been worse. Stay away from them.

Nice house
Overall good experience, first floor bedroom was not warming up because both windows were not isolated enough. The game room showing in the discretion is not part of the house, and not free to use.

Disappointed
So disappointed with this rental. VERY dated, cabinet doors broken or did not close properly. Carpets worn, bathrooms old and toilets did not flush properly. It was “clean” but very worn. While p my ace needs a paint job and furniture, appliances and bathrooms upgraded. Looks better in the pictures.

Family vacation
This house was rented for 5 days for our family of 11 people because of two bedrooms having twin beds. There are lots of dishes, kitchen utensils and pots and pans. We did not find a mixer, a cake pan or cookie sheets. We did find food particles in a couple of the drawers, one cupboard door is off the hinge and only two kitchen towels. Luckily there is a washer and dryer so we could wash towels. The deck is great and we used the gas grill, we needed another tank which was delivered. The house is in need of some help. The carpet has lots of stains, the register in the dining room needs to be cleaned, living room furniture needs to be replaced. You sink when you sit on the couch. Bathroom walls and baseboards are dirty. Not all baseboards are attached to the wall. Having a second living room upstairs was great. Electrical plug-in in the bathroom at the top of the stairs does not work, closet door is off track in one of the bedrooms. There are signs in every room telling you that you need to remove your trash or you could be fined $1500, they don't tell you where to put your trash and there is not a receptacle on the property. The description says there is parking in a garage for two cars and in the driveway for two cars. You need a small car to park in the garage, a Toyota Rav 4 barely fit. We never did find the clubhouse, guess we did not take enough time to find it. Overall there was enough space for all of us and we were able to enjoy our time there.

TLC Needed
This was our third year staying at this property, and while it works for our family, it could use some TLC. Some of the window blinds are broken or missing. Some of the dining chairs are broken and in the garage. The heat in the master bedroom works only if the vent cover is completely removed. The kitchen offers only one pot holder and one dish towel; the paper products are low quality, and there wasn’t a single box of tissues in the house. This could be a 5-star property with some TLC.

Great Stay!
I loved how spacious this property was! I mainly picked this place for my trip because I wanted to make sure that all my friends were able to have their own beds. I was pleased with the amount of bathrooms the property has because it is not fun having to wait for the toilet in a large group. Owe also liked how close the house was to the resort and we were able to take the shuttle from the house to the resort village/shopping area. If you plan on making your own food, we felt that some of the kitchen utensils and appliances could use an update. The couches were also a little uncomfortable if anyone in your party plans to sleep on the couch. The dining room tables were also rather unstable so be careful with that as well. It’s great that we were provided a pass to the pool and hot tub, but it would have been preferred if the hot tub was actually on the property. Overall, we had a very fun trip and glad we got to stay here!
