Not what I expected from Northstar

While clean and functional, this unit needed an update. The paint was peeling, light bulbs needed replacing, rug needed to be secured so that risk of tripping was reduced etc. Wooden decking around complex needed maintenance. Ice machine door was locked and unavailable. Coffee filters didn't fit the coffee machine in room.

Stayed 2 nights with family to attend some celebratory events in nearby Truckee. Location very central and convenient. Condo was clean and decent size for 2 kids/2adults. Would rated 4 stars relative to the price point for the summer. Had to drop to 3 stars due to the condition of the 2 beds. Basically felt like a hammock.

The property was beautiful. We didn't know what we were getting when we booked, but we got a beautiful 2 story, 2 bedroom condo, fully stocked with everything you could ever need - including coffee. (not food, of course.) It was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was much quieter than it would have been if we had stayed in the resort rooms, just a block up the road. We had full access to resort amenities, and easy parking, transportation up the hill, and a quiet place to sit by the fireplace and watch the snow fall. We definitely plan to come back again, and recommend it to our friends.

Needs updating

This unit in Timber Creek Lodge was far below the level that I expected for an accommodation in Northstar Village. Dated, tired furniture and drapes, dirty carpet. Not the luxury weekend we had hoped for. Very steep staircase to sleeping area. Bathroom was fine. Location is good.
