Disappointed Weekend
No power for 1 1/2 days. I did get notified the power was out prior to check in and that I may want to "grab extra flashlights". Good thing I did because the only flashlights we found were 2 small ones. There was a wood burning stove but the starter 1/2 balls provided were not sufficient. There was no kindling provided just 2 huge wood wedges. The wood outside was wet and un-usable. Temp in the cabin got down to 52 degrees. When the power finally came back on, there was no internet connection so we were unable to access computers, tv or cell phones. Being a mountain home, I understand that things happen and weather changes and can cause issues but the cabin in not prepared to handle ANY issues. Investing in a back up battery or generator system, remotely checking connections and ensuring there is supply for emergencies/weather issues would go a long way to show customer service/care. We left a day early! I hope the next persons stay is better than ours.

Liked: Location
Not what I expected and not suited for small children
The location was great with quick access to town and our point of interest Calaveras Big Trees and the beds were super comfortable. But, unfortunately the property itself did not live up to the listing description. Kitchen appliances and pans were dirty with dust and grease. The vacuum cleaner was completely full and needed to be enjoyed before we could use it. And there was tons of trash and debris under the upstairs beds. We were also disappointed too find out that the hot tub listed in the homes amenities was not actually available and had only been noted in a single line note in the homes description. I did mention that the main listing should be updated with that info and it should removed from the list of available amenities so that it doesn't show up in searches for properties with a hot tub and folks aren't confused like we clearly were. ***Be ware that if you have small children, this isn't the safest as the stairs are far from regulation and can easily fall through the railings or down the steep steps***

Just right for our needs!
Overall, great owners, very attentive and we’d definitely stay here during the winter months again! FYI-I never give 5 stars because to me, that indicates perfection and IMHO, anything can be improved. The backyard was great for our needs with all fresh snow and we were able to do sledding for our 3 year old boys and 6 year old. Plenty of room for the dog to run as well and it was beautiful scenery with hills, trees and mini creeks; very relaxing! The interior was just right for 5 adults that appreciate cozy quarters and 3 kids (3 year old twins and 6 year old) and 70 pound lab. New appliances were wonderful. Other interior items (ie: light fixtures, drawers, cabinets, shelves with hooks) had loose connections and handles but nothing that significantly affected our stay. Biggest suggestions for improvements: Both toilets often bubbled upon flushing to where liquid (just a drop or 2) would spit out of toilet onto floor so we were frequently cleaning that because it came from contents of toilet before it was all clean water. My dad reminds me this is a frequent challenge with maintenance on houses with septic. We’ve also had this experience with other homes we’ve stayed at. The owner immediately attended to our concerns regarding the large quantity of white dog hair on couch, under couch and in sheets and indicated they were going to use a different cleaning service in the future. Again, we definitely plan to stay here in the future!

Couldn’t have asked for more.
Everything was clean! Sheila was very responsive from the beginning. We had a few nice days of getaway and this cabin is in the perfect location. We had sun, we had snow and lots of laughs. This cabin is the perfect size for 7-8 people.
