Amazing 53rd Birthday Getaway

For us this place was amazing! Not to mention our host was just as amazing. The cabin was cozy and had all of the necessities we needed to celebrate my birthday. The host was so quick to respond to any of my emails and also recommended things to do around the area like the Black Oak Casino where my husband won $800 whoo hoo! We will definitely be back again!

Nice spot

We were looking for a moderate elevation spot to acclimate for a couple of days en route to higher country and this was great. The young teens with us enjoyed the home and nearby Pinecrest Lake, host was communicative and provided suggestions for local hikes. One note: it's like 70 stairs from the driveway to the home, so if you're at all limited in mobility consider looking elsewhere!

First time at Pinecrest

The property was in a nice area. The home at 70 stairs to climb to get to the entrance. This meant packing everything up a steep set of stairs multiple times to get food and luggage inside. This was not ideal and was not disclosed prior to our stay. Another thing to note is the renters must remove all their garbage or pay an additional fee to use the garbage service.

Perfect for family get-together & getaway near the river and lake

Everything in the cabin was thoughtfully set up for convenience and comfort. Comfortable beds and linens; soap, shampoo & conditioner in the bathrooms; a well-stocked coffee bar, condiments, spices and cookware if you like to cook some meals in. We especially enjoyed the large deck and seating for morning and evening relaxing. There are books and games available to add to your fun. The home is in a quiet neighborhood where we felt comfortable going on our morning runs. Very nearby is the Sugar Pine Railway trail for hiking and river play, and Pinecrest Lake is only minutes away. As another reviewer mentioned, there are quite a few stairs up to the cabin from the parking area. This was not a problem for us, but it is something to consider if anyone in your party is less fit or able. We loved our stay!

Great cabin

Sugar Bear cabin was a great place to stay for nearby activities. We enjoyed the amenities the cabin offered, especially in regards to cooking and kitchen. A really great surprise was the stocked up game room, and various VHS tapes, along with a VCR. My partner and I watched Face Off, something we would not have done otherwise, and an amazing blast from the past. The game room was such a nice touch, as well. The beds were comfortable, and my partner and I both got a good night's sleep. The area itself is very isolated and noise-free, and beautiful. Our dog loved sniffing the various trees as we explored the yard together. The stairs are a bit of a pain but a great exercise, and the listing is 100% transparent regarding them. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to others, as long as you are not going with a big (5+ people) family or have any injuries that doesn't let you take the stairs. We will definitely be back in the future.

Lovely place to disconnect

This cabin is darling. The interior is what you would expect from a mountain cabin. The rooms are large and the beds quite comfortable. It’s perfect for a small group of 4, though it sleeps 6. It’s set back enough from other neighbors and set above the adjacent neighbor so it feels very private. The cabin has a a big beautiful deck that catches the morning sun and is a wonderful spot for enjoying morning coffee and for us, also breakfast. The location is great as it’s very close to Pinecrest Lake and the little town nearby. All within 10 minutes of the cabin. Be mindful that there are 70 steps to climb to get to the property. This was a surprise for us, but luckily manageable. The entrance is only accessible on one side of the property. I would not recommend this for persons with disabilities that make it hard to walk. I also would not recommend this for elderly people. Overall, it was a lovely stay.

Fresh mountain air with a view

Renee was helpful and responds quickly to any questions. Clean cabin, well stocked with all kitchen utensils and cute coffee bar and comfortable beds! Open windows in the late afternoon to get a slight breeze/cool down during hot days. Beautiful deck for hanging out and listening to the surrounding nature. Super close to the lake, about a 5 minute drive without road construction traffic. Lots of dvds and even VHSs (!) so fun for some 80s kids! Want to come back during the winter and experience the snow. The only thing… if you are not into stairs or do not do them well. This cute little place isn’t for you. There are 69 from the drive way to the deck. Great workout though!!

Great cabin

We had a great stay. The cabin is very comfortable, well stocked, and Renée is very responsive. As was said before, there are a lot of steps to be aware of.

Hidden Gem

My husband and I had the best weekend visit at this cabin. While it was very charming inside with the natural wood finish and cabin feel we really enjoyed the upgraded appliances and furniture. There is a beautiful mountain view from every window. We caught a little snow and it felt like a winter wonderland. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing weekend. Thank you Renee for opening up this lovely cabin for our short stay!

About the host

Hosted by Renee Scolari Venegas

My husband Oscar and I relocated from North Monterey County to the Sierra Foothills near Yosemite in 2018. We have one daughter who is a Junior at Yale University in New Haven Connecticut. As an investor and Realtor we have owned many properties throughout the years. We are excited to own our first vacation rental property. We have enjoyed renovating the cabin, spending time there with our family, and now sharing it with you.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property due to the location, location and location. Sugar Bear Cabin is located in a special and quaint community called Cold Springs. It sits at an elevation of 5,700 feet, in the Gateway of the High Sierras. It is surrounded by breathtaking High Sierra mountain views. It is 5 minutes away to Dodge Ridge Ski Resort, and beautiful Pinecrest Lake. 10 minutes away is more fun, there's ice skating at Long Barn Lodge, snow tubing at Leland Snow Play and jet skiing, water tubing and skiing, or fishing at Beardsley Lake. Black Oak Casino is 20 minutes away where the whole family can enjoy bowling and arcade fun for all ages on the lower level.

What makes this property unique

Sugar Bear Cabin is unique because it is perched high above the ground like a tree house. There is the beauty of the wind as it passes through the trees and a quiet peacefulness you can feel while relaxing on the deck, or sitting inside on a snowy day with all the curtains open to enjoy the winter wonderland it turns into, or the sun setting between the trees. Peace, and Privacy on Nature! It doesn't get better than that!
