About this chalet rental

Nestled in a small valley surrounded by the Stanislaus Forest, this chalet style cabin located in the gated Sierra Park offers the beauty, comfort, and relaxation you are looking for.
From the moment you pass through the gate and drive down into Sierra Park- it feels like you are taking a step back into a simpler time. The smell of the sugar pines, listening to the bull frogs in the lake, and the dark sky full of stars always reminds me of my time at summer camp in the Sierras. This truly is a four seasons destination- the green grass and wildflowers in the Spring; Summer brings the warmth of the sun, fun times on the lake, and beautiful evenings on the deck; Apples in the orchard, and the golden leaves in the Fall, and of course Winter brings the beautiful snow covered trees and cozy fires in the wood burning stove.
Once inside the house - you will be reminded of an Austrian or Swiss ski chalet, with beautiful custom pine woodwork throughout the house. A covered gazebo on the deck in summer provides shade and an "outdoor living area" for your afternoons at the house.
The kitchen is fully stocked with pans, appliances, and utensils for easy preparation of meals. The new Charbroil BBQ is ready for BBQs with family and friends!

The large living room is designed to remind you of being in a rustic lodge- with plenty of space to gather with extended family and friends. The fire in the wood burning stove makes the place extra cozy. Every bedroom has been designed to be a place where you can escape to relax, read, or take a nap. You're in cabin relaxation mode here!
When you venture out there is plenty of fun for everyone here- enjoy the playground, basketball court and the lake in Sierra Park, or play golf and pickle ball in Twain Harte. there are lots of places to explore for beautiful hikes, horseback riding, boating on Pinecrest Lake, fishing at Kennedy Meadows etc. Yosemite is an easy day trip. In the winter, skiing at Dodge Ridge is close by, and snow play at Leland Meadows...the possibilities for fun are endless!
My hope is that you'll disconnect and completely relax here. But if you need to get online, there is high speed wifi available at the house.
Just under 3 hours from San Jose- the drive up here once you pass Oakdale is beautiful-with rolling hills, horses, and cattle ranches.. Come visit!

We had a comfortable stay at the cabin with 2 families with young children. The community has a playground and lake for the kids to play and only 15 minutes to Pinecrest lake. The bathrooms are updated and the beds are comfortable. We will be back in the winter!

The property is in a lovely gated community that is quiet and safe. The host was an excellent communicator and made sure we were well taken care of. The property was clean, comfortable, and warm. We enjoyed a short drive to Dodge Ridge on nicely plowed roads after a sizable snowfall. Powder turns and smiles were plentiful : ). Back at the cabin, the trees, lake, and surroundings were so beautiful with the newly fallen snow. We enjoyed our time together cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, snuggling watching movies by the warm and efficient wood stove, and gazing at the stars and snow from the lovely and large back deck. We are all smiles from our very special family weekend together.

This cabin is a gem. Dana has placed great thought into every inch of her property. It was exactly as advertised. Our family had a wonderful time there. You can see the pride and detail the owners have in this place. It had everything we needed to unwind and focus on relaxing. We will be back. This was our first time ever using VRBO or the other one. Dana has set the bar high for anyone opening up their home.

Took my family to Longbarn. It was a great cabin spotless. It is a great location for winter or summer. It has a park for the kids and basketball hoops for the big kids close to snow skiing, ice skating, and Pine Crest.

Dana’s home is just gorgeous and the deck facing the pond is now my happy place in my mind. The cabin is so beautiful and the decor lovely. Dana’s thoughtful attention to detail is evident everywhere you look. There is the best coffee station I have ever seen, an abundance of books, sweet details like s’mores ingredients, and the most comfortable seating in abundance. The bathrooms are gorgeous too - so well designed and decorated. The deck was just gorgeous!!! The lovely cabana/gazebo was decorated so perfectly that I was taking notes for my home. I actually found the lovely wind chime that was on the deck and bought it for me home. When you walk out onto the deck you are met with this incredibly fresh, green smell that just immediately brings a sense of ease and calmness within your body. I could have spent the whole time on the deck. The gazebo provides lovely shade and you can also sunbathe if you like. Dans took such care in making sure her home was so clean and cool for us (there was a heatwave while we were visiting). The trails around the pond were so fun to explore with our kids and the playground in this gated community was a delight! There was even a little improvised honor system booksale on the school bus stop bench that we bought some books at. And a dog park too in the complex! Everything about our stay was beyond lovely. And Dana is the nicest and most thoughtful host. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a gorgeous, magical time!!

We had a wonderful stay and magical experience - with feet of snow each day. It's a beautiful home in a serene location. In the house, anything you could possibly need is at your fingertips. Communication with the owner, Dana, was excellent. We will undoubtedly be back.

Nice clean place with big open living room and porch. Area close to pinecrest and would be great for summer months also. Two of the main bedrooms are lofts / set up very nice but are open to the main lofted living room. But worked great for our family event!!

We had a great stay at a beautiful mountain home. The property was as exactly advertised. Extremely clean and well stocked. More than enough room for the 8 people in our extended family for the three nights. Views of the meadow/ lake from the living room and large deck.
