Cozy & Charming Sierra Nevada mts cabin 40 minutes from Kirkwood Ski resort.

I'm from the Tampa bay area and usually spent my childhood vacations on Sanibel Island. Those family memories are precious to me so the opportunity to host other families as they create fond memories makes the effort rewarding.

The Buckhorn-Silver drive neighborhood stood out for a few reasons. Accessibility from the Bay Area within three hours but without the Tahoe traffic penalty was a big one. Being situated close to the fluctuating snowline means that one can usually drive there on normal tires but still be within a 35 minute drive to Kirkwood. However, when it does snow in the neighborhood, it's not too far from the highway on roads that aren't too steep and with a very level driveway. And because there's a PG&E hydroelectric dam on nearby Tiger Creek, the neighborhood gets priority plowing after snowstorms.

It's a small A-Frame cabin in what many would describe as a normal, rural suburb with homes not too far away but not too close either and with many tall beautiful trees on and around the property. Tahoe feel but without the Tahoe price or traffic.
