This review is specific to the ”Northstar Mountain Condos”. These are privately owned units, which Northstar does not disclose anywhere on its website. (FYI - other resorts such as Palisades also rent out privately owned units, but disclose that on their website). You are assigned a unit on the day of arrival so you have no idea what you will get. This is intentional because if you saw actual pictures of the units beforehand, you probably would not book it. Imagine booking a rental on Airbnb or VRBO that did not have pictures! Given Northstar's premium branding and imaging they are trying to market, we trusted that the quality of the Mountain Condos would be worthy of the $1,400 nightly rate for a 3br unit. I expect that some units are better than others, but of course the one we were assigned was very disappointing. We expected that Northstar would ensure some level of consistency with these units, but apparently does not. The unit we stayed in looked like it had not been updated since it was built. The majority of the furniture was the original furniture the owner's brought in when this place was built 40 years ago. Electrical outlets were worn, decades old beds, inadequate water heater for a 3br unit, furniture that was literally falling apart, broken floor boards, crooked kitchen cabinets, faulty lights...just to name a few issues. If you are comfortable rolling the dice to ”see what you get”, good luck to you. I would highly advise not booking through Northstar for these units. If you like the location and are looking for condos/ homes, I would recommend searching on Airbnb and VRBO for rental units in this community. At the very least, you would be able to select a specific unit that you can vet beforehand, and likely save some money. There really is no benefit received by booking through Northstar. The resort is trying to benefit from the premium image generated by having the Ritz Carlton and Welk Resorts onsite, but these units in no way warrant a premium price. Northstar's marketing for these units is highly deceptive and needs to be corrected. Please avoid.
