We loved this place. The owner was very communicative! Even though it doesn't have WiFi, all the games and videos made the forced technology break very fun. It snowed A LOT while we were there, and the community was very helpful. Roads were plowed by 7:30am to help with getting out. It was very helpful to be able to park in the garage. Shovels were right there to clear a tiny bit of driveway, and we had no issues with driving to or from the cabin in the snow (without 4x4 drive- but YES Chains). It is 20 minutes door to door to Dodge Ridge, and we had the best time! The storm caused the power to go out our last night, but the owners had planned for that with extra blankets, flashlights and lanterns in easily findable places. We felt warm and safe, and can't wait to book again!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property! All the necessary amenities were provided as stated. We had a beautiful white New Year! So much fun!

We couldn't have had a better time at this mountain home. The place exceeded all the expectations. There was everything we could have needed to enjoy our stay. The proximity to Dodge Ridge Ski Resort was a definite plus. The home was clean, cozy and had all the comforts you could want during the winter in the mountains.

This was a beautiful property. Diane was very communicative and helpful. We loved having the air conditioning to with 3 older, menopausal women! We had so much fun kayaking Pinecrest Lake and the deck in the evening. There is no wifi, however my friends phone was able to connect through her data service, mine didn’t work though. So I just unplugged! Very relaxing girl’s trip. We plan to return!

The property was very nicely laid out kid friendly with the armoire full of kids toys and games and the playroom upstairs. Nice to sit out on the deck and let the kids play knowing there all exits were secured with Gates. My only complaint was the morning we were leaving we were without power for almost 4 hours which meant no coffee to start our day and breakfast was pretty Slim Pickens for the kids, cold sausage and eggs from the previous day. It would have been nice to receive some sort of compensation but when I shared this "hiccup" nothing was mentioned or offered up.

Thank you, Diane, for a wonderful stay! Your home was beautiful and the perfect location for easy access to Pinecrest. We have rented many homes in the area, and yours was one of the best! We will definitely come back!

Love this area. Have stayed here twice. We have kids under 6 so the deck with all the gates for safety is nice for relaxation of mom and dad. House is clean. Comfy beds and lots of sheets, towels and bedding extras if needed. We vidit in July si the air conditioner is rare fir this area but a must in the 100 plus degree heat. We love the privacy. Grast lake house!

We really enjoyed our stay and are appreciative of the owners sharing their home. The home is easy to get to, clean and cozy! The house is close to Pinecrest Lake and Dodge Ridge which makes it nice. Knowing there is an AC in the home was comforting even though it wasn’t hot enough to use during our stay. The house has all the amenities needed, we just had to bring the food and some movies from home. The house is very well maintained. The view from the deck is just beautiful & we enjoyed drinking our coffee in the morning overlooking the valley of trees. We will be booking again in the future!

Everything was super clean when we arrived, which I greatly appreciated. There’s definitely a rustic pine cone theme going, which may not be for everyone, as well as a couple of religious wall decorations, but the cabin itself was lovely. My family was very comfortable. The only recommendations I would make to future guests are: 1) bring your own washcloths, as the supply was limited (abundant supply of posh towels, though!) and 2) if you are going to be arriving on a winter night, reach out to the host to request she turn the heat on for you. We arrived at 10:30 at night with our kid asleep in the car to a 49 degree house. It took over an hour to warm up, which would have been ok in the day, but it was challenging at night. Thankfully the cabin comes with a washer & dryer, so my husband thought of putting our daughter’s bedding in the dryer to warm it up before bringing her in to bed. Diane left us a lovely bottle of wine, though, much appreciated. Super easy to get to Dodge Ridge to ski, and nice walks up and down the development roads.

I loved our stay at this wonderful and thoughtful house. Great location, spacious, clean, well stocked kitchen, little stool for kiddos to reach the sink, kid books in the bunk bed room, lots of warm blankets, etc. It surpassed my expectations. :) Thank you!

This cabin was in great proximity to Dodge Ridge and was so cozy! Everything you need to cook meals as well. The beds and amenities were 5 star!

Great home for a mountain get away.

We had a wonderful visit here in early 2022. We've stayed in dozens of cabins and houses across the country over the years, and this was one of the cleanest and most comfortable we've experienced. I was particularly impressed with the kitchen. Every appliance we used was relatively new and in good working orders (a bit of a rarity in the rental world!). Upstairs we had plenty of linens and towels. The beds got mixed reviews, but that's a matter or personal taste. Technology-wise, this is a visit to 1999. There is no wi-fi and our Verizon phones had only brief glimpses of service. One of us had a T-Mobile phone with a fair number of bars, which we could use to stream music and look up the open hours of local restaurants. (Spoiler alert: most were closed!) Entertainment was limited to a collection of VCR tapes and a few DVD's. There is also a WII (no games for it, though) and an iPod dock for music (just in case you have a working iPod). We didn't try the Dish TV. We had relatively warm winter weather and could easily see returning in the summer to sit on the deck and look out at the wonderful view.

House is well maintained with lots of accessories - kitchen, toys.... Owner was very helpful with travel advice for the snow. Also helped with insurance claim (still outstanding) for repainting wall that toddler drew on with markers. We had a great time in midst of a snow storm and would love to come again.

Second stay at this lovely property that I would give 10 stars if I could. Gorgeous views from the back deck with all the comforts of home. Not to mention a short drive to Dodge Ridge. Diane is highly communicative and responsive. Great experience as always!

Great location and cabin! Easy to get to, cozy, clean and has everything you need. Thank you for a fun weekend away.

We so enjoyed our time at the cabin and hope to return. The hosts were communicative and thoughtful, purchasing new sleds before our arrival and leaving a bottle of wine for us when we arrived. It snowed and the house was a magical quiet escape. We were able to sled in the backyard, take quiet walks through the neighborhood and enjoy Dodge Ridge for snowboarding just 10 minutes up the road. We appreciated the restaurant recommendations from the hosts. Also great location for enjoying Pinecrest Lake. We will be back!!

We spent Christmas with our kids and grand kids at the cabin. It was a perfect white Christmas. The cabin is easy to get in and out in the snow. Beautiful deck in the back overlooking the snow covered trees. views from two of the bedrooms also looking out over the forest in the back. Plenty of room for 6 people (4 adults and 2 younger children) in the kitchen, dining room and living room.

The house was very clean and as described. Kitchen was fully equipped. Good collection of DVDs/Blu rays to entertain kids. Great forest view from the deck (we couldn't use it as it was winter). Great place for kids too. Near to many locations - Pinecrest lake, Sonora pass and other small dams/lakes. Plenty of parking. Only thing was no internet, but I am all good going offline when on vacation! And special thank you for the bottle of wine!

We enjoyed a relaxing stay in this smaller, quiet development off 108. Home was very clean. Back deck is great. Kitchen is well-stocked.

Beautiful home in Pinecrest-tasteful decor, very comfortable beds, kitchen stocked perfectly, off the beat and path but close enough for easy maneuvering up or down hwy 108….highly recommend!

We have been trying to get Pinecrest camp ground spots reserved for two years but have not been lucky. This cabin provided me an opportunity to share the beauty of the lake AND the neighboring cities. The cabin provided a peaceful and private retreat after a day of hiking, swimming and shopping :) Communication with the owner/property manager was concise and clear. I appreciated that! We will return and recommend this location!

Beautiful home no WiFi in the area. Best grocery store and restaurant are in Twain Harte only a 15 minute drive not bad . And the bottle of wine was a nice surprise.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home to others.
