This rental unit is located inside the Hyatt Vacation Club property at Northstar Village, so it’s very conveniently located. It’s relatively quiet and private despite the ground floor location, at level with a walkway to the gondola; some sledding traffic in the afternoon :-). The pictures are accurate in terms of look and feel. Parking is great and there are amenities for the property that you have access to (pool and fitness, kids’ activity room, etc.).
However…The fact that you’re not a HVC guest creates a number of issues. We had to wait an inordinately long time to be checked in, as the front desk did not have our name or reservation info. Also, when issues arose in the unit (a scorched, unusable pan, no tissue, not enough soap) the Vacasa staff informed us that “only basic amenities are provided” and we were in our own, as the HBC will not service the Vacasa-rented units. So, be aware that you’re not in a full-service property, although the overall trappings are hotel-like.
