The house was perfect for our mtn. Bike weekend! Right in between downieville and the Sierra buttes. It was very comfortable and just as described !

My friend and I stayed here while we were mountain biking in the area. The cabin was clean and perfectly located in between everything. Recommend staying here to anyone!

Everything was exactly what we needed and hoped for - a break from work/technology and the chance to be in a small, quiet Sierra town, away from the madness that is now Tahoe. The Lakes Basin recreation area is 10-15 minutes up the road and offers endless outdoor opportunities for hiking, fishing, swimming, mountain biking, horseback riding or just sitting gazing at vistas comparable to the Alps or Dolomites. Stunning scenery. The cabin was extremely comfortable, well-equipped, and nestled amongst trees. Our host was extremely responsive and helpful.

Perfect for me and my husband and our adult children to gather for a few days. Terrific location to small town conveniences, hiking trails and recreation. Super comfy beds, large sunny living room area, full kitchen and two outdoor decks for relaxation. The narrow spiral staircase leading to the two bedroom spaces upstairs is a bit tricky to navigate (as properly noted in the description), but there are also outdoor stairs to easily access the upper level if necessary. Joe was a great host, very attentive and responsive. Double thumbs up!

My dog and I had a restful time. Most of the cabin is one level which made it much easier on my old guy. The tv projection system was a pleasant surprise. We’ll be back.

This was a great place to stay! Lots of great hikes and outdoor stuff to do in the area. The Cabin was perfect for our family and dogs. Joe was extremely helpful and very responsive, he gave us many recommendations on what to do in the surrounding area. It's nice to find a place that is great for the kids and allows dogs! Thanks Joe, we had a great time.

Absolutely enjoyed our Weekend in this lovely cozy cabin. The Great Room was open and had plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed. Joe was available for anything we needed at anytime. He sent us trails and things to do since we weren’t familiar with the area. The trail walking distance from the cabin was very peaceful & beautiful. The kids loved playing in the snow & exploring the town. Definitely staying here again!

My family of four loved our long weekend in this cabin! The cabin itself is great, with lots of space and a cozy interior. We spent a ton of time playing games in front of the fire and watching family movies on the really great projector set-up. My daughter loved the upstairs kids room(s) with a fun reading nook. You can walk to lots of hiking spots, though we didn't end up doing much because we were digging the cabin vibe so much. Did make it down to a great view of the Yuba (10 min walk) a few times and explored the neighborhood. Thank you Joe & family!!

Joe was VERY responsive any time we had a question. The house was wonderful for our weekend stay. We got to hike the surrounding lakes and take the kids sledding. I would definitely recommend his place and stay in the future.

My husband and I had a great time at the cabin! Very good communication from Joe, he also gave us a lot of suggestions for hikes and food in the area. We loved that the cabin was dog friendly and would definitely come back!!

I rented this cabin for after Christmas hoping for a bit of snow and I got my wish. While we were there a very unusual storm dropped about two and a half feet of it. First, the property: The cabin is nice with large windows and a spacious great room with a large dinning table.There is plenty of room to stretch out, do a puzzle, play twister or find a nook and read a book. The kitchen was well equipped with most of the usual items you would need to make a meal and a nice cup of coffee. There is a washer and dryer onsite which was nice for handling snow drenched items, and there was plenty of wood for the wood burning stove. The master bedroom is on the ground floor next to the kitchen. Note that there is only one bathroom in the cabin, so larger groups would have to stagger their showers accordingly. We had no issue there. Upstairs has a twin bed with a twin trundle bed in their own nook and a queen sized bed on the opposite side of the house. There is no door between these bed areas nor between the upstairs and downstairs. This was not an issue for us but bear it in mind if you have noisy guests with you. There is also a desk upstairs if you wanted to do some work. There is no cell service there but phones will work over the internet. The one thing I would say here is that the spiral stairs are rather narrow. My father, who is not a small man, never went upstairs due to how narrow they were. I would warn anyone who has a mobile impairment or who has very wide shoulders that the stairs could be challenging. The neighborhood: The cabin is in a very quite neighborhood. The neighbor that we did meet was very friendly and helpful. The management: The owners were very communicative and helpful, answering texts, helping us keep an eye on the storm, and working hard to make sure our stay was a good one. The storm: The drive up there took twice as long as we expected. Once the storm caught up with us we had to slow down significantly. Overnight the power went down for three entire counties due to the crazy snow fall. Despite that we were able to have a good time (sans showers since the hot water heater is electric) using the wood stove to heat the cabin and cooking on a stove that we brought with us since the cabin stove was electric. Overall: It is a very nice cabin in a nice location. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. I would avoid snow storms however, unless you are very prepared.

We stayed here over New Year's Eve and had so much fun. There is plenty of places nearby for snow fun and the cabin is the perfect place to come back and warm up in. There are games, a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of space for sleeping and hanging out. The mudroom with washer and dryer made coming in from the snow easier.We would definitely stay here again!
