Great location! great place! great time!!!!!
We had wonderful time at this place and we will come back…….very roomy, very comfortable has everything you need for a great time for a getaway!!!!!
Spacious cabin exactly as described in a beautiful area! There is plenty of to keep you occupied inside and out. Our contact person was very nice and the whole stay was wonderful.
This cabin was great!!!! It was super clean and had a fully equipped kitchen. We loved the location, a great place to take walks or ride bikes. The game room made this cabin seem so huge, it was so nice having the extra tv room. We can’t wait to go back again!!!!!!
This is our second stay at this cabin. We really enjoy the large game room with the ping pong table. The kitchen, especially the oven, could use some updating, but is serviceable. Overall, this is a fun, cozy, comfortable cabin in a nice, quiet location
.
We had such a great time at this cabin! Perfectly appointed, impeccably clean, cozy and comfortable. Appreciated the extra clean linens and blankets in all the closets. Thank you for allowing our family dog to stay which made the trip extra special. We will be back.
The place was so well supplied and immaculate! Super comfortable and fun-we played ping pong, sang karioke and built a puzzle. Loved that our dogs could be with us, they had a great little dog area, but we loved the neighborhood and walking around. It was super quiet too. As my husband said, it was a very “intuitive” house. loved everything about it! thank you!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home over the holidays! the house was spacious and accommodated our family of 5 plus 2 grandparents with ease. The wood burning stoves and central heat kept us warm despite a very exuberant storm, and the owners provided ample firewood (thank you!). We weren't able to ski as planned at Bear Valley due to the extreme amount of snow causing road closures, but we enjoyed the great supply of board games, playong ping pong, and watching movies in the game room. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing a family holiday dinner.
We had everything we needed for our 2 night stay in the snow. The place was VERY clean. The kitchen was like a real second home , with everything you would need. They generously supplied foil, parchment, some Pensey’s spices (!), and more. The game room was fun. Our two young girls slept well in the bunk beds. The upstairs is very quite. All the drains and faucets actually work. The central heating is amazing. The smart tvs easy to use, with the ability to login and out of your own accounts. We are impressed with this house and fully intend to book next years trip already!
Lovely cabin but corrections needed to listing's picture
Obvious pride in ownership with this cabin. Interior is tastefully decorated, recently updated, and lots of quality amenities. Very clean. Game room is huge with large picture windows overlooking a serene forest scene. They have a Nest heating/AC system which is great except that it reset itself at will. We'd be comfortable for a few hours and then suddenly be either freezing or way to hot and find that the Nest had changed the setting to either 50 or 74 without us having touched it. No biggie, after the first day we just kept checking it every once in a while to reset it when needed.
Our biggest complaint is with property management's listing description. As of this writing, their caption on the picture of the master bedroom with the king bed states that it's on the 1st floor however it's not - it's on the 2nd floor. Management has been notified so hopefully by the time you're reading this it has been corrected. But I took that caption to be truth and rented this cabin for a king bed on the 1st floor due to our tri-paw dog and my bum knee so we were painfully surprised to find that it was on the 2nd floor.
The 3-4 feet of snow on the ground made this a very cozy winter getaway. We were very happy cooking all our meals, watching football, and taking day trips visiting the local areas that we know and love to visit every year.

My family and I arrived at 4pm on 8 June, 2022 to a home that was without electrical power. The refrigerator and freezer were at room temperature and there was no electrical power upon entry to the home. The house was spacious but seemed dirty and it felt like no one had been to the property to check on it's condition for quite some time. We contacted the property manager and they were quick to respond but the electrical problem could not be solved that day. We requested a refund from the property owner and we had to find other accommodations quickly before nightfall. We are still trying to get a full refund for the trip at this time from the property management company. I hope they rectify the electrical issue because it would of been a nice place to stay.
