About this property

Located in the Big Springs area. Can accommodate 12 adults plus kids.

The Highlands gondola serves the new Ritz-Carlton Hotel and mid-mountain The entrance is about 50 yards from our home. You can take it free to the hotel and the hotel restaurants and amenities or use it to access the whole mountain with a lift ticket. The gondola is not really private but it seems that way because we never see a lift line.

This 4000 plus square foot luxury home is wonderful for large families or multi-family groups, reunions and retreats. Sleeps large groups. Unsurpassed access to skiing and village.

Northstar New Year fun
The location of this place is amazing in regards to being so close to the gondolas up to The Ritz Carlton and walking down to the village where shopping and restaurants are in abundance as well as skating and live music. Although the snow decided to wait until after we left it was great fun with family in a wonderful location! I would like to say that there needs to be either a repair of the cooktop so all burners work or get a new one and a easily working fireplace would have been a great addition to the ambiance. I know a part was being waited on when we came but I hope the next family that comes to rent will get to enjoy these amenities!

Mixed bag
This property was a real mixed bag for us. The good: The location is superb, true ski-in ski-out property, directly to/from the run under the Ritz gondola as long as there is deep enough snow. The kitchen has lots of pots and pans, plenty of tools for cooking whatever you would want, prep sink, large pantry. Now for the things we didn't care for about this house: -No shades for privacy except for one living room window. Most of the bedrooms, bathrooms, even showers are exposed to anyone who might be walking by. Some of our group found their closets to be the only place they could change without risk of being in view. -What's listed as the 5th bedroom is a rec room with two fold-out couches and an aerobed. The fold-out couches (not a futon as is pictured) are very worn and not comfortable for adults; they might be okay for kids. -Cleaner missed cleaning a few areas before our stay: Popcorn in and under the fold-out couch, side table not dusted, a sink not cleaned out, trash left on a shelf. -The part of the house in which the renter lives is not really separate bur rather a bedroom and bathroom that are just locked doors blocked off from the upstairs hall and bedroom by furniture. He has his own entrance to those rooms from outside but everything the tenant does (especially in the early morning) is audible from the upstairs bedroom. That also means the upstairs bedroom has no bathroom (this seems to have been built as a Jack & Jill situation originally).
