Wonderful stay close to skiing!

Everything about this cabin was incredible -- the smells of the timber, the sounds of the stream just off the back patio, the fireplace crackling through the evening. Can't wait to come back again in the future!

Markleeville Stay

One of the best places we’ve stayed in a long time. Great location, friendly neighborhood and inside the cabin was amazing. The owners communicated with us very nicely and promptly over the VRBO app if we had any questions. If you’re looking to stay in the area, this place has to be your choice.

Great cabin in beautiful location

We chose the cabin for the location, near snowshoeing trails that are easy to access, and near Desolation Hotel (used to be Sorenson's) which has a cute restaurant.The location worked out perfectly, there is plenty to do nearby or it's a short drive to South Lake Tahoe. The cabin itself is really lovely and well-maintained. The owners were helpful and easy to communicate with. There are baseboard heaters in the bedrooms which keep the cabin a very comfortable temperature in the winter, but do make it quite dry. If your sinuses are sensitive, you might consider bringing a humidifier. Generally speaking, this is a great place to stay for a winter getaway.

Stunning Cabin Stunning Location

This is the cabin of dreams. Solid, well-made, beautiful. The kitchen was very well stocked and included Keurig coffee. The fireplace is as cozy as it gets. Sitting on the deck outside over the flowing river was so relaxing. We would rent this again and recommend it to friends.

Super cute and cozy cabin

Our family had a wonderful time at this cabin. The layout of the home was great. Loved all the natural light. The view of the river from the living room and deck was beautiful. We stayed during a snow storm and it was even more magical. We can't wait to go back and experience the fall colors.

Wonderful Cabin by the River

This was perfect for our family. Easy access to the River and plenty of fishing opportunities. Hope valley is a beautiful area and a short drive to many pristine mountain lakes. The cabin was clean, comfortable and had plenty of space indoors and outdoors to enjoy.

Beautiful cabin home

We had a lovely stay at the cabin -- it was beautiful, cozy, comfortable, and had the most perfect small kitchen with everything you need. The master bedroom and bath in particular are super lovely and more luxurious than we expected for a cabin home. The view out the windows of the river and mountains is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

An Amazing Place!

We fell in love with this cabin from the moment we walked in! It's absolutely perfect in every way-- the decor, layout, outdoor decks, location on the river, everything! Hope Valley is one of our favorite places to come for a winter trip of cross country skiing, sledding, and playing in the snow with our grandchildren, and we've never found a better place to stay then here. I've already reserved it for another trip in June! Highly highly recommended!!!

Beautiful Cabin in a Great Location

We truly enjoyed our stay and this cabin is very spacious, super clean and fully stocked. The location cannot be beat. All you can hear is the flowing water of the stream, but yet you are 30 mins from Tahoe. There are nearby trails and you can walk along the stream to a couple nearby cafes. Perfect if you are looking to avoid traffic and crowds. We easily could have stayed at the cabin for our entire stay without ever leaving. The furnishing are cozy and comfortable, and everything was spotless. We could not have asked for a better experience and we will definitely be returning in the future.
