Amazing house that we have been staying out year over year. Has 4 bedrooms that easily a mixed generation group (kids, adults and grandparents). Less than 30 min to Bear Valley for skiing, snow play and snowshoeing!

Great stay with plenty of room for the 8 of us with great grounds for sledding, neighborhood to walk through, a warm fireplace, and a great living room to gather in. We all enjoyed our stay.

The cabin is perfect. We came up for a ski vacation at Bear Valley with our kids. The cabin is beautiful, spacious, and well equippped. The game selection was amazing as well as the outdoor toys. Small details like night lights and kindling were thought of and provided. Bedding and linens were soft and comfortable. The surrounding area is serene and a welcome rest from the hustle and bustle of real life. We hope to be back for summer fun!

This is second time we have stayed here and we still love it. The cabin has four good sized bedrooms that are warm, clean and perfect for multiple groups. The kitchen is a little small, but totally fine and we cooked every night. Great dinning room table for 8 and plenty of spaces for people to hang out and be in different spaces- we even had two people remote working a few days. Bear Valley skiing is only 30 min drive as well as sno parks along HWY 4. There is a plough for the subdivision as well as drive plough service at the house!

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for, a cozy place with an area to have our kids play in the snow. We all loved the wood burning fireplace and appreciated the chopped wood being readily available. We visited the nearby saloon as suggested and it was great! My only suggestion is to spray for spiders, we killed at least 10 big fat black ones in various parts of the house. I get it’s the mountains lots of trees around, just a gentle suggestion from someone who hates spiders :) thanks for a great place to stay we will definitely visit again!

After several atmospheric rivers Dec 2022-Jan2023, there was a warning not to travel to the Sierra's., we didn't listen. Cabin was great, plenty of room for two families, multiple tv's, video games, board games. Great location with a ton of open space surrounding the home. Easy communication with the owners., they accommodated us due to the bad weather and need for a later check-out, we were snowed in and had to wait for the snowplow to clean the roads of 4 feet of snow. We will definitely return.

lovely neighborhood--utterly quiet and calming--easy access everywhere we wanted to go. T he house is quiet and absorbs people quite well. Everything worked well, we enjoyed the time it afforded us to be together in a friendly and comfortable place. We would be happy to book again.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. There were a few minor things that we wish were a bit better but overall we would be back. We had to do the dishes upon arrival because the majority of dishes in the cabinets still had food in them but had been placed back by the previous guests. Under the couches had candy and there were some other things in the kids room. While I fully understand this is not the property owners fault I do wish they would hire someone to better clean the property. My only other complaint is I wish they provided salt for the stairs leading up. Upon getting there (BRING CHAINS!!! ROADS ARE NOT FRIENDLY) the ice on the stairs made it very difficult to get up to the property. I would be back despite all of this and feel the hosts genuinely care about the property and we’re thankful we had the opportunity to stay in the mountains!
