In summary i would say we got bang for buck. We stayed towards the end of the summer so didnt have to deal with snow but the house was great no issues at all. It has entertainment galore for kids from books to board games to video games. Also only being a stones throw away from northstar village was great.

Perfect cabin for our family

This cabin had plenty of sleeping options (2 sets of bunkbeds, which my kids loved). It is definitely older (appliances must be original to the 1980's build) but in super great condition, everything was clean and worked and we just loved our stay in this home.

Good last minute stay. Kitchen has very dated appliances but all seem to work well enough. Fridge was on the coldest setting but was struggling a bit in the summer. Portable fans were great in each room since the home does not have A/C. The back deck is great place to hang out.

Big house, a bit old dated. Overall a good place. Close to all the dining in Northstar. Vacasa provided everything that we need, soaps, dishwasher detergent. The down side was that the couches are sinking and the sheets in one bed were dirty

Traditional Tahoe cabin

Spent a week here during an awesome snow week. They had sleds and shovels available for us to play in the snow. Cabin is cozy with a downstairs “kids room” with multiple bunks. Place was clean, heating worked well, though downstairs was cooler, electric blankets helped keep downstairs sleepers warm at night. Kitchen a little antiquated with electric burners, but otherwise well stocked. Super convenient to catch the free shuttle to Northstar to ski. We had 5 awesome days of hitting the slopes!

Super close to Northstar village on shuttle route

Interior was as advertised in photos and previous reviews. Best part of the house for our family was it’s proximity to the Village with quick and easy access via the Northstar shuttle system. Overall it’s a comfortable house with decent furnishings and adequate kitchenware. Linens and towels were all nice/adequate. All systems worked well, though we did not think to bring our own matches/lighter for the wood burning stoves. Some minor issues to consider for improving the house’s quality: better/brighter lighting in the living room, a full set of cereal/soup bowls (we found 2 bowls total), a few more kitchen tools —like at least one spatula and a working peeler, and replacing the tired living room sofa set.

Great Location near North Star ski resort

Cozy home. Needs a bit of updating. For example the cookware was in bad shape. No lighters or matches to get the wood burning fireplace going. The promoted games in game room, some were broken. Other wise a good place to stay with family.

I’ve used Vrbo for years and often book cabins, but this was my first disappointing experience. I never received the check-in code or Wi-Fi info, even after reminding Vacasa the day before arrival. When we got there, the cabin looked nothing like the listing—old, run-down, and dirty. There were spider webs, a bad mold smell, a filthy carpet, and a useless washing machine. We aired it out for 5 hours, but the smell lingered. I contacted the agent and was told local help would reach out—no one ever did.Then the power went out around 6:30 AM. I searched for the breaker myself but couldn’t find it, so I called for help. The agent gave wrong instructions and insisted there was a “white box” that didn’t exist. I eventually found a hidden grey breaker box, but she kept dismissing me. With no help and no power, we had to leave early. Extremely disappointed.

Worst stay

The house is outdated, we stayed here on July 22-24. ants and spider webs are all over the place. The batbrooms had bugs, spider web's and ants. The AC was not working at all. The house needs better lighting as it was soo dark.

Outdated with some safety concerns

As many have stated, the couches are well past their prime. They're extremely low to begin with and the springs are so shot you basically are sitting on the ground. There was a missing plate cover in the kids room that could be a huge concern with younger kids. Nails are lifting on the deck in the back which seems like an accident waiting to happen. Additionally there were cobwebs in the chandelier over the breakfast table. Wouldn't stay here again.
