This stay was the biggest waste of money. The room was awful, the bed was SO uncomfortable, the walls were paper thin and could hear everything happening outside and above us. The cleaning people stole some of our food, the cleanliness of the room was subpar at best. My suggestion is do not waste your money, stay somewhere else!

Close to slopes, nice great room & fireplace. Overall comfortable. Heat downstairs didn’t work so well and there was no outside light by the stairs. Would do an inventory of kitchen tools. No placemats except for two plastic kids placemats. No measuring cups. A little too expensive for what you got.

We have been visiting North Star resort for almost 14 years. It used to be a very upscale resort. This past week we went for a three night stay at one of the Resort managed properties. Expedia shows a balcony. There was not a balcony. the WIFI did not work and Resort said just connect to a different WIFI. All we got was slow or no WIFI. Two Burners on the stove did not work. The water heater either did not work or was very small. We could not take a shower longer than t0 minutest before the hot water ran out. The bed pillows were terrible. It was like no pillow and last thing the Expedia said the bed is a queen bed and I can not swear to it but I think it was a double. It was so uncomfortable. We booked three nights and we went home after two nights. We talked to the reservation desk and they kept saying it is Expedia problem. The desk clerk seemed to have found us another room. He went to ask his manager and came back and said not there was not any rooms available with a balcony.

Terrible Experience
I recently stayed at North Star Resort, and my experience was deeply disappointing. From the moment I arrived, it was clear things were not as expected. The resort was surrounded by loud road construction, which made it difficult to get around and impossible to enjoy any peace. I had hoped for a quiet, relaxing escape, but instead, I was greeted by constant noise and disruption. When I entered the lodging building, the common areas were in disarray. The flooring had been ripped out, leaving nails and debris everywhere. It felt unsafe and far from welcoming. Worse, when I asked the staff at reception about it, they seemed just as surprised as I was. There was no communication or warning about this construction, which made the situation even more frustrating. In my studio, though the flooring was intact, construction materials were left under the furniture, making the room feel incomplete. It was far from the comfortable, relaxing space I had envisioned. The final blow came the next morning when workers began sanding walls and floors right outside my room, filling the air with dust. I suffered an intense allergic reaction that I’m still recovering from. Although I was eventually moved to another room, the damage was already done. I left North Star more stressed than when I arrived. The disorganization, lack of communication, and constant disruption made this an awful experience. I cannot recommend this resort to anyone seeking relaxation or comfort.

Great staff & Property!
First impression was guest parking and that was a struggle. We arrived late (11pm). Check in was smooth and staff was excellent! He instructed us to search for a space marked in green, which we could not find. We contacted the safety patrol person and he found us a place to park in the main parking area, which we did not know about. When we finally made it to the second floor of the Timber Creek Lodge, we noticed the carpet was terribly stained. As a ski resort, we recognize that it is almost impossible to keep it looking clean. Finally, we were surprised by the extra $10 fee to use the recreation area, as we already paid a resort fee. The pool and hot tubs were listed as an amenity but there was no mention of an additional fee. Otherwise, I would consider returning to the resort. The property was lovely and overall clean and comfortable.
