The property was clean and great for our group. The trails were well maintained and easy to follow. It was great to have the two kitchens (one on each floor). The game room was a hit with the kids as well as the creek! The large dining room table was great for meals, games, and puzzles. All around it was great!!

Great property with ac and heat and also wood burn stove! Big rooms nice beds, fantastic for groups of at least 12 people. Nice outside deck, pool table and ping pong! Everything clean. Bring ziplock bags though as there is nothing to store unused food. Easy hike to river but check for ticks after hike - had a couple.

Great trail system

We enjoyed our family gathering and hiking trails to the creek. Overgrowth of poison oak meant close supervision of younger kids was required.

Jennifer, So glad you enjoyed your stay! Poison oak is the unfortunate companion of the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains. We work to keep it completely cleared from our 15-miles of trails but can't clear it from the forest. Look forward to hosting you and your family again! -Alicia

Family reunion

This place was amazing! We had a very large group and had everything we needed. There were well maintained walking trails, plenty of chairs and areas to sit and enjoy the outdoors, and a wide variety of games and activities for ALL ages available (indoor and outdoor). Alicia, our host, was super helpful. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would!

Family fun with doggos

Plenty of space and beds for all the grown ups in our group! We cooked amazing meals in the roomy kitchen and ate at the big dining table. We hiked around the beautiful trails and found the Moss house. The dog run was spacious and perfect for a 3yr old chocolate lab. We can’t wait to come back.

Perfect property for our family gathering! House was great for accommodating multiple family groups. Loved the big dining room table for bringing folks together. The property has great hiking trails (although you need to watch out for poison oak). Alicia and Michael were very helpful giving us the info we needed to get the most out of our stay. Michael even provided a bike tour of the trails for our groups' mountain bikers. Lots of wildlife--even an early morning bear sighting (from a very safe distance). Definitely a terrific trip.

Comfortable, roomy house

This house fit our needs perfectly, with separation between children and adults. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The house was in an area that provided hikes and seclusion. The property manager was very responsive to needs and questions, and we had no problems. We would definitely come back. Thank you.

Really enjoyed our stay

This property was the perfect place for our wedding party to stay. We got married in the area, and this house was nearly big enough to accommodate all of us. My only comment would be to possibly have more trash bags available to the guests, maybe under the kitchen sink? While completing the checkout list, taking all the trash to the big trash cans would have been easier if there were more large trash bags available. Overall, great stay! Thanks!

Amazing place for Retreat

I hosted 8 guests for a yoga & wellness retreat. Alicia set us up with options for massage and horseback riding and was responsive with any questions. The trails are beautifully marked and we wandered through the woods down to the creek and waterfall. The campsites are groomed and marked clearly with a modern and updated bathhouse just for them. The rooms are clean and cozy. So many towels and blankets for extra convenience. The beautiful outdoor deck was perfect for sunset views, sound bath and yoga. We can’t wait to go back for next year.

Perfect Family Vacation

We vacation every year with the kids and grandkids. As our family has grown it has become more and more difficult to find a place to accommodate our group. This house met all of our needs! Comfy beds, large kitchens, plenty of bathrooms, lots of outdoor seating. The game room was a huge hit and provided hours of entertainment, especially for the young adults. The view from the deck is spectacular! We appreciate that our dogs, important members of our family, were welcome too. Alicia and Mike were wonderful hosts. This was probably our best trip ever.
