Cute and homey

This was my second time staying at this property. Close to everything at Northstar, clean and warm. I just wish the bed and pillows were a bit more comfortable but great spot for the price.

Great studio for skiing at North Star

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay. The condo was just enough space for two nights, with a comfy bed and pull out couch. Full kitchen and coffee was nice. North Star village is about a 5-10 minute walk and we were able to ski back to the condo which was a fun way to end the day. Parking was easy. We will definitely stay here again!

manageable distance from ski lift for teen family

property location is at a manageable walking distance from ski lift, with a minor caveat: family with younger children may not be able to do this on a daily basis, as you are walking 3 levels of stairs up and down, plus treading through small woods area covered with un-plowed snow, across the parking lot, and cross the village. this takes approximately 10 min door to door. Property itself is a small studio, with enough amenity for a comfortable stay. Living area is already small, so if you have a lot of luggage, be mindful that they will also take up almost all the remaining spaces in the studio itself. Brings back some of the college dorm room nostalgia.

So-so, but not great.

It could have been better. The location and price met our needs for a last minute solution for a trip to meet up with friends nearby. The place was charming but run down. The walls had many holes and scuffs that could have easily been fixed with spackle and a coat of paint. The fireplace/thermostat didn’t work until the last night we stayed. There was black mold on window sills and on the bathroom ceiling. The carpeting was dingy and the sofa needed cleaning. Overall the look of the place could be charming if it was better cared for.

Listing mislabelled beds and a bit worn but it's a good location for skiiers

To clarifly, this unit contains a double bed and a queen size pull-out sofa, not the other way around the way the listing stated. The sofa is on the older side and so if two people sleep on the pull-out, they easily roll into the middle due to the lack of support. The double bed was very comfortable. The property was clean, but the carpeting, syling, and appliances are old and some of the corners of the walls are chipped and unpatched. Nothing too unusual for a ski rental but it felt more budsget than lux because of that.I am hoping that the owners of the unit add more dishware. There were only a handful of plates and a handful of bowls, not enough to get my family of 3 through a single day without mixing and matching. The location is great if you are trying to ski. We couldn't find a trail but we managed to hike up through the fresh powder to the Northstar gondola.

Close to Northstar

The location is super close to the mountain/gondola. The studio is basic, but is a great place to rest after a full day of activities.

Location can't be beat

This condo needs a new interior paint job, but it slept me and my son comfortably for four nights, and the location can't be beat—it's an easy walk to the gondola, and an easy ski back!

Location and thoughtful amenities

We ski multiple times a year at Northstar (me and my teen/tween girls) and we often stay in new places. The location: when there is not a huge snowstorm blocking your path with heavy snow--you can walk with your gear by cutting through the sparsely wooded back area in about 7 minutes to the gondola. GREAT LOCATION for skiing/boarding. GREAT. Also we once used the community rec center for $8 pp using the included rec center cards-it's near the path to the gondola. There are THREE large hot tubs to choose from and a weight room and locker room with showers (and pool but we didn't use that). Also available is parking at the rec center while we used the rec center which was super nice (the cards we had were "the old system and need to be updated" so they didn't actually work but they can buzz you in and it was close easy to walk to anyway) Caution: avoid if you have people in your party who can not climb ~70 steps with luggage in their hand. The Studio is up three flights of stairs and down a longish walkway that also has steps to get from the parking lot to the building. [Elderly, toddlers, someone in your party has a broken leg. All will find the walk up exhausting unless you can carry them.] We are tweens/teens and sporty adult and we got a real workout each time we went up. Heavy breathing, the burning butt etc. We were pretty stressed when we arrive late at night and saw our walk. But we got used to it quickly and it ultimately wasn't a big deal. BUT once you are up there, the place is delightfully warm (often these ski places are drafty and cold) and well stocked. Hand soap, shampoo conditioner and TP for a couple days (bring more for longer stays), dish washing supplies. The kitchen has all the gadgets you want to bake and cook. Good knife set, (bizarrely limited amount of forks and spoons but there is a dishwasher) The bed is very comfortable as is the pull out sofa. The TV is YUGE and we enjoyed netflix options and included internet and the checkin and out process was very easy. It was also pretty quiet. There is a laundry room on the first floor with door code but we didn't use it. We enjoyed our stay and our behinds benefited from the stair workout!

Close and cozy

Finding the place was tricky in the dark and there is was no directions to the rev center with the hot tub but besides that the place was perfect location. Close to village and rec center as well very comfortable. The heat was on the fireplace and the bed was very comfortable. Easy to pull the sofa bed in and out and enough room for all our luggage. Would highly recommend aspen grove and would seek it out for our stay again!

Cozy studio for 2!

Perfect size for the two of us. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, flatware, dishes, dish soap, and a clean sponge. Plenty of hot water in the kitchen and bath. Queen bed very comfortable. Pot belly stove kept room warm. Unit was situated at the end of the complex, so very easy walking access to NorthStar Ski Village and to the Recreation complex.

Loved the location

5min Walk to the village throught the back trail. Nice and Bright and cozy condo. My family of four enjoyed our stay. Made breakfast and headed up the slopes. Nights we went ice skating at the village. The bed is comfortable. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the sofa bed. **The sofa bed needs to be replaced** no laundry in the unit. There is one in the building, but you need a code to get in. Never got a code, nor had the desire to do Laundry so it didn’t matter.

Cozy in the pines

Clean and cozy this was just the right size for the 2 of us. Loved sitting out on the balcony. Kitchen was nice and well-supplied. Having access to the recreation center was great; we enjoyed the adult-only area with hot tub and pool. A friend is a nearby owner and he showed us the ropes, plus we were able to cook dinner for him in our unit. Great hiking trails all around Lake Tahoe.

The best I could get on very short notice

While the property was acceptably clean and located in a well kept complex, it is on the second floor of a three story building and I cannot put into words how loud the person with dogs was above us. It really made It difficult to enjoy being in the unit.

This is a small studio, but with everything you'd need to enjoy Northstar. Just mind it's on the 2 floor and could be a little cumbersome for some people to walk up two floors with ski boots, etc.
