About this cabin rental

RIFUGIO DI MONTAGNA IS ITALIAN FOR 'MOUNTAIN REFUGE' ~ Our refuge in the Dodge Ridge/Pinecrest area at 5,300 ft elevation is the perfect place for you and your family and friends to spend together in a unique combination of new construction infused with traditional memorabilia.

THE PINECREST TRADITION BEGAN WITH GRANDPA AND GRANDMA IN THE '50's ~ This 2,200 square foot mountain home was lovingly constructed in 2007 as a place to recharge and relax, and is located on a quiet street in Cold Springs. Having grown up with grandparents who owned a cabin in the area for many years, this home was built after thoughtful planning and much creativity to use and enjoy some of the furnishings that were located in the old cabin. Rifugio di Montagna was actually designed 'around' the grand old dining room table which can seat up to 12 and is the focal point of the home.

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF RIFUGIO ~ The slate floors and granite countertops of the interior are combined with the natural colors of the outdoors making for a warm and cozy refuge for your mind and spirit. The living areas were specifically made to be the largest rooms in the cabin and to flow together. The spacious kitchen has an island and a breakfast bar which opens to the dining room, which in turn is connected to the 24' high ceilinged Great Room. The Master Suite is also located on this floor and has it's own entry AND A KING SIZE BED. You will feel as though you are showering outside under a waterfall in the oversized, full slate shower in the ensuite Master Bathroom.

The loft upstairs has a sectional couch that quickly converts to a Queen sleeper.
This room overlooks the Great Room and is flanked by two bedrooms, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE KING-SIZE MATTRESSES. (No more arguing over who has to take the 'little' bed!!!) There is also a full bathroom on this floor with a tub/shower combo. All of the beds are fitted with 500 and 400 thread count sheets, beautiful hand-crafted quilts, and 100% goose down comforters. The two raised twin-sized Deluxe AeroBeds can be automatically inflated in three minutes and can be used in any room where there is carpeting allowing families great flexibility for sleeping. We also have a full foam mattress that can be used on the floor in any of the bedrooms or the loft.

The 560 square foot front deck wraps around three sides of the house, bringing the outdoors right to your feet. And who wants to eat indoors when the perfect Summer weather calls you outside to dine on our custom-made, bar height picnic table? As an alternative, sit out on the back deck which offers a view of the landscaped area and the undeveloped forest beyond. In the Winter you will be glad you've chosen to rent a newly-constructed, well-insulated cabin with double-paned windows plus two sources of warmth - the fireplace and central heat. AND - we've added a generator in May of 2022 so that you will never be out of power - even when PG&E power goes out all around, our lights, heat (or AC) and all other amenities will still be on!!

THE PINECREST/DODGE RIDGE AREA CAN BE YOUR TRADITION, TOO! ~ Or, maybe it already is and you want to make wonderful new memories at Rifugio! There are many fabulous things to do in the area - great family skiing/snowboarding at Dodge Ridge and sledding at High Sierra Snowplay in the Winter, and in the Summer, the great fishing, hiking, and boating choices are endless. We've prepared a book at the cabin - just for you - which lists all of the wonderful things to do/places to see, with Rifugio as your home base. Come ~ relax, refresh and recharge ~ experience Rifugio di Montagna for yourself!

We have rented many VRBO properties in US and abroad. This is the first time we have experienced these: The host accepted our renting request within 1 hour when we booked. And we arrived within 16 hours later, due to global IT problem that canceled our flight. 1/ A welcome gift basket and greeting card! So classy 2/ The kitchen full of needed cooking tools, utensils and beautiful dishes. 3/ Bathrooms full of soap, shampoo, body wash 4/ Laundry room full of detergent, dryer sheet and others. Then on top of that: The host called to check in, in person welcome, and he was just a second away every time we had questions. THIS IS AN EXEPTIONAL HOST, A WONDERFUL PLACE. He helped to ease a very difficult travel problem that we faced. We RECOMMEND this place 💯. 💜

This is hands down the best mountain rental I’ve had the pleasure to vacation in. The house is very comfortable, very nicely appointed and the hosts are very helpful and a pleasure to work with. Three bathrooms (2 showers) and a generously appointed and finished kitchen, a large great room, capacious dining area and expansive deck made for the best stay we’ve had in the mountains. The house is within easy striking distance of Pinecrest Lake and Strawberry, 15 minutes from the terrific grocery in Twain Harte and about an hour from Kennedy Meadows. Negatives? We didn’t catch any fish. Can’t be my fault, but I can’t really blame the hosts who were both charming and gave me fishing advice which my companions chose to ignore. The takeaway here is, don’t go fishing with my cousins and you’ll have a perfect stay.

We booked our 4 day Christmas getaway with the family at Paul and Pam's Cabin and I have to say it was just so lovely! It was very spacious and close to Pinecrest Lake which was very convenient. Paul even called the cabin the next day we arrived just to check and make sure we were happy with everything and even had a little welcome basket waiting for us when we arrived. The only bad thing was that there was no snow on Christmas morning, but that was out of Pam and Paul's control...LOL! We will be staying here again in the future for sure.

Thank you Pam and Paul for welcoming in your house! We enjoyed our stay a lot. Only one issue we encountered is slow internet and it must be due to heave rain. One of us was planning to work from the house and instead we played board games :).
