Great Pet Friendly Get-away!

As those who travel with their 4-legged friends will appreciate, finding a clean and beautiful rental that takes any pets, let alone 2 dogs, is very difficult. This location did not disappoint. It is a clean comfortable home with all the amenities. It's close to the NorthStar resort and we had a lovely birthday celebration at the Ritz (with our dogs). Couldn't have asked for better! The walking paths were also a plus -right outside the door!

Family Ski Weekend

We had a fantastic stay in this home! It was spacious, clean, and offered a beautiful view of the open golf course. We especially loved the layout, with the master bedroom upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs, plus a cozy hangout room. The hot tub was the perfect way to relax after a day of skiing. The Northstar shuttle system was incredibly convenient—just download the app, and a van picks you up right at your door to take you to the mountain. We’re definitely coming back to this house!
