Fantastic house and owner

This is one of our favorite cabins to stay at. The listing was spot on, and the owner went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. The bed situation and layout made this perfect for our large family. We had nine adults and a lot of kids, and this was more than enough room. Will definitely rebook this cabin for future trips.

This cabin experience was by far my favorite. The owner was quick at responding, very understanding and helpful. It was outdated but made the cabin feel like a cabin. Plenty of kitchen space that I loved.

My family and I enjoyed, and felt very comfortable during our stay here at this Mountain Home. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen (dinner/cookware) and restrooms were adequately stocked. With a little sweep of the outside deck, and dust off of patio furniture--we sipped our coffee and/or dined al fresco (a preference of mine).The location is conveniently located between many trails/lakes, and resources for gas, food, or miscellaneous supplies. Accommodations made for a memorable family retreat. Thank you.

Very nice area to explore. All instructions from the owner were timely and clear. The major issue during our stay was having to deal with mice in the house (living room and bedrooms). The house also needs little upgrade on all toilet flushes.

Great cabin!! Definitely recommended for a large group.

Pros: The cabin is spacious enough to hold big group. Lot of things stocked in the pantry Lots of games, toys and entertainment for every age group. Cons: Kitchen and appliances are old and outdated but everything works perfectly fine. Brining your own towel and linen was little bit of an inconvenience.

Very roomy cabin

The whole family had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was very roomy. The owner was very attentive. They had many board games and toys. They had a ping pong table and a fools game table upstairs. The upstairs had a loft with roomy couches and a large room with lots of twin and double beds. This worked out great for us because of the kids could stay upstairs and we could stay downstairs. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic Family Cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed renting your lovely cabin for the weekend! We loved the open floor plan, it worked out well and it was easy to keep track of our little ones. We also loved that the cabin is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, baby equipment, everything we needed and so much more! We didn't need to bring anything "extra" along which is such a big plus when you travel with small children! Another real plus is the location, it is so close to great parks, lakes, rivers, etc. The cabin is also minutes away from Murphy's, a great place to wine taste, dine and much more. There were so many things to do, we didn't know what to do first. We will definitely visit again soon!

Great floorplan

Great floor plan, nicely balanced with four equal bedrooms and two bathrooms at the first floor, perfect to share by up to four families. Huge loft and fifth bedrooms upstairs, perfect for entertainment and kids to play games. Great location close to Bear Valley. Excellent management and great communication. The cabin is a bit outdated though, the carpet is old and some holes in the ceiling in one bathroom are the cons. Also there's no access to the back patio during winter and there's no grill.

The cabin was extremely dirty, unkept, dead rats under the bed, a dead bat in the shower, spiderwebs hanging from the ceilings, spiders everywhere, dirty silverware in the drawers, the oven was disgusting. I rented this cabin to celebrate early Thanksgiving and it was embarrassing to have my family there. Very dissatisfied and not happy at all with our rental.
Dirty silverware in drawers.
Oven was disgusting.
Oven was never cleaned.
Spiders in every corner.

Winter getaway

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very roomy and well stocked. The house was clean. They have a fireplace with plenty of wood to keep you warm.They also have a house heater. They are located close to restaurants stores and activities. If you want to stay in they have plenty of games and pingpong and air hockey and foosball tables. The house is kid friendly and has safety gates and plenty of kid toys. The house is right off the main highway. We all fit really comfortably in the large house. The owner was very attentive to our needs and quick response was appreciated. I will be returning soon. This is our second stay…

Well laid out and functional

We would rent this property again for our family reunion. It had a large common area, large eating area, fully equipped kitchen with lots of counter space, and nice large deck for summer use. It was very well laid out with equal sized queen bedrooms downstairs and additional beds upstairs. The bathrooms were small but functional. It showed its age (not recently remodeled) but worked great for us. Next time we'll bring a couple extra large cooking pots. The owner, Ben, provided very detailed and helpful instructions and info about the house and area.

Great Property

The floor plan of the house allows a fair sized group to cook, eat, play games and relax and never feel crowded. The house was clean, kitchen well stocked. Would suggest a completely empty kitchen cabinet for food storage. Loved the prep space in kitchen. Lots of counter space allows several people to cook together. Would rent again.

Would definitely book again. Recommended

We had a great experience here at this cabin, very spacious, has everything you might need, great cabin if you have kids, full of games and entertainment, great parking space for at least 6 cars, awesome owner, aslnswered all our questions, called a few days before check in to see if we needed anything. The only thing that could be better was maybe a little more lighting in the patio, it was just a bit dark at night. But overall 9/10. Definitely would recommend and book again
