The deck right by the river was the best with some fun with fishing. The house was clean and stocked with everything needed. Communication with host was streamlined and very responsive.
What a serene riverfront property! The location is perfect for fishing, hiking, taking a short walk to Strawberry for a drink, or simply relaxing on the deck with a good book. We have a big family, including two dogs, and everyone had an amazing stay. Thank you, Jim and family, for your wonderful hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!
The location is fantastic, and this was our second stay at the house. Unfortunately, some of the issues we mentioned after our first visit still haven’t been addressed.Our request was simple: please install screens on the windows so guests can open them for ventilation without inviting the numerous yellow jackets into the house. A year later, there are still no screens. On hot days, the house becomes quite uncomfortable, but opening the windows means dealing with yellow jackets flying inside. Not fun!The electrical outlets throughout the house are another issue. Many of the older outlets no longer hold plugs securely, and they really need to be replaced. This is more than just an inconvenience—it’s something that should be addressed for safety reasons.Finally, the kitchen could use some decent cookware. For a home intended for guests, having functional, quality pots and pans would make a big difference.We really like the location and would love to return, but addressing these relatively simple improvements would make the house a much more comfortable and enjoyable place to stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 September 2026
Thank you for staying with us again and for your feedback. We work hard to make our riverfront cabin a comfortable and enjoyable place for our guests, and we’re sorry these concerns affected your stay.
We especially wish you had contacted us while you were there. We live locally, are easy to reach and very responsive, and each of the concerns mentioned could have been addressed the same day.
Regarding the specific issues:
• Window screens: The family room screens had apparently been removed by a previous guest and were stored in the laundry room. We were unaware they had been removed and reinstalled them immediately after receiving the review.
• Cookware: The kitchen had 17 functional, name-brand pots and pans, including Calphalon, KitchenAid and Emeril cookware. After speaking with the guest, we learned the specific concern was the lack of a second extra-large stockpot. We have since added an additional one.
• Yellow jackets: We found food residue on the outdoor BBQ immediately outside the family room windows, which was attracting yellow jackets. Once the BBQ was cleaned, the problem went away.
• Electrical outlets: The cabin was built in 1942, and some of the original-style outlets do not grip plugs as tightly as newer outlets. We checked the outlets following this feedback and identified a few where plugs could be dislodged more easily than we would like, which we are addressing.
We genuinely appreciate guest feedback and use it to improve the cabin. Most importantly, we encourage our guests to call or text us during their stay if something isn’t right. We’re nearby and want the opportunity to resolve concerns immediately rather than have them detract from anyone’s vacation.
Great cabin in an awesome location, we have stayed here many times over the years. The hosts are exceptionally helpful and responsive and easy to reach as needed.
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. The property was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our trip. The location was beautiful and made for a relaxing getaway.Jim was an excellent host—easy to reach, responsive, clear in his communication, and very knowledgeable about the area. He provided helpful recommendations and made the entire experience smooth from start to finish.The nearby lake was fantastic .For future guests, I would recommend bringing beach towels, as the towels provided are intended for shower use. It tends to get cold in the evenings, although the cabin’s heating system works very well and kept us comfortable. Plenty of local hikes and things to see. Also about two hours from Yosemite. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, well-equipped cabin in a beautiful setting.
My family had an amazing weekend at this cozy cabin. It was warm upon entering and everything was just as described from the photos and description - you just need to bring yourselves, your clothes and food. There was plenty of space for 10 of us and two dogs. We especially loved the porch area and the river right in the backyard! Host was very friendly and easy to contact. Would stay here again...I'm sure it would be a fun in the summer as well as Pinecrest Lake is nearby!
Our family of 10 spent 5 nights at this great cabin and loved every minute of our stay. Jim was the perfect host, available via text message throughout our stay, helping us survive a power outage and 5’ of snow. The generator kicked in right away and the heaters kept us warm and dry. Jim even came to help shovel us out once the snow stopped. It was a fun adventure!
Jim is very friendly and accomodating. The property location on the creek is exceptional - you get your own private beach access with a patio/deck right next to it. Highly recommend!
The host went above and beyond to welcome me and answered all questions in a timely manner. The home is lovely and the location is beautiful. The sound of the river directly behind the home provided a soothing experience.
Jim went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing stay. I took my family up to the snow for the first time and we had the trip of a lifetime. It could not have worked out better. I'm so grateful for Jim being so accommodating to us. The house is a wonderful location for fun in the snow, plenty of space but also cozy. Jim was exceptionally responsive and communicative. I cannot recommend highly enough.
Very nice comfy cabin with beautiful views and soothing sounds from the river. Host was wonderful - prompt with responses and readily available. Cabin had everything needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Would definitely book this cabin again.
This was a lovely cozy cabin. Nothing fancy, just everything you need and a really cool riverside location. Communication with Jim was also excellent. We happened to be there during a snowstorm, and he was very helpful to make sure we navigated it safely. We’d love to try to go back in the summer :)
We had an absolutely amazing few days at the Briner cabin. Sitting on the decks with a gorgeous view of the river allows you to relax and unwind. We even saw a family of deer. Hope to be back:)
The cabin was beautiful and well equipped with everything we needed! The hosts were great in communication and very friendly! The location was perfect right on the river. Wonderful family memories were made!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to rent this house for family gateway! Our stay was absolutely fantastic. The house was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. The host was extremely helpful throughout our visit, going above and beyond by recommending some amazing places to explore nearby, which truly enhanced our experience. The check-in and check-out process was incredibly easy and smooth, making our trip stress-free from start to finish. We would definitely love to stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to stay!
The riverfront decks were our favorite place to hang out. There were plenty of beds for everyone. The “luxury“ futon may be a bit of an overstatement but overall the house was great for our family of 11 people.
