Cherry floors, natural wood details, and comprehensive amenities, insure a comfortable mountain vacation experience you will not soon forget.

Fish, Swim, Kayak or raft, in the nearby East Fork of the Carson River, numerous hiking trails starting at your front door, rock climbing at Woodfords Canyon, explore the old mining districts, and just get away from it all.

Amazing Cabin and Property

The pictures do not do it justice. Fully stocked with all the amenities. Just up the road from natural hot springs and the charming town of Markleeville. The owner was very responsive and understanding to some last-minute requests.

Markleeville Hideout

this is a wonderful spot, just up the road from "town." The home is beautiful and has the feeling of being lived in and loved. Cooking in this kitchen is a five star review! very nice. and the second best part is the very large (10' wide) window in the master bedroom. Owner/manager is quite responsive which was an added bonus!

Comfortable and homey mountain getaway

My family and I have spent a lot of time in Markleeville over the years and we all love the area. We wanted to get away for a few days for a quiet Fourth of July and the house on Sawmill Road was perfect for us. The host is great and the house is rustic but very comfortable and had all the amenities we could ask for, including level 2 EV charging. The location is really good - about halfway between town and the hot springs - and whether the house is a base for various adventures in the area or is the destination itself for a little solitude and relaxation, you can't go wrong. We will be back, maybe in winter for a skiing adventure at nearby Kirkwood!

Enjoyable Stay

My family enjoyed their time at the house. The kitchen had enough dishes for our large family and we could all eat at the large table. Communication with Ben was excellent. He responded quickly to my inquiries. He checked on us couple of times to make sure we were doing well. He really showed he cared that we would enjoy our time there. We went fishing in the area and did a hike at Grover Hot Springs Park. The house is in a nice neighborhood where we took evening walks. Thank you, Ben, for sharing your home.

Wedding gathering

This property worked well for friends from afar to gather. Room to be alone or together. Could use a few more amenities in the bedrooms, mirrors, better lighting , and closet space ( master closet was full of owner's stuff). Towels need replacing. Otherwise it was just fine.

Family Getaway During Death Ride Weekend

We were looking for lodging for the 2019 Death Ride bicycle event and found this large house close to the start in Markleeville. Booking was a breeze and the owner was easy to contact for questions as the date approached. We invited our kids and grandkids and found the home to be comfortable and family friendly for our 3 day stay. The kitchen is terrific and the views of forest are relaxing. We would definitely rent this house again.
