We made so many beautiful memories in this home. Thank you to our host for great communication. The location is just outside the Gondola that takes you into the Ritz Carlton. You can enjoy dinner, drinks and sign up for events (even if you are not a Ritz guest). The location also is across from the village center where there is ice skating, restaurants, bars and the ski schools. Our 5 year old daughter was able to take snow boarding and ski classes and also enjoyed all the activities. There is just enough to do without being overwhelmed. In addition, the town center has a free shuttle into Truckee and Kings Beach which were great excursions to explore. Overall, we had a wonderful time and we look forward to another ski week in Northstar soon!
