Easy access to skiing at Bear Valley resort and space for all to sleep.

rented a sled to get around, very refreshing.

I stayed here while attending a wedding at the lodge down the street. The house was clean and accommodating, and was a very short drive (about a 5-10 minute walk) from the lodge. The lake was nearby too, but I didn’t have time to check it out.

We stayed in this cabin for a corporate offsite. Many of the decorations are a throw-back to an earlier time period. Excellent wifi, new-ish appliances, great sound system, clean though rustic. Only one issue, owner said no outside fires (this due to recent wildfires).

Overall, it was dirty and towels and linens very old. Very expensive and I'll not stay there again.

Plenty of space, great location and everything you need on vacation.

The cabin is a lovely and spacious A-Frame. The setting is an excellent blend of rustic seclusion with access to civilization (and skiing!). It snowed about 18" during our stay giving the village a storybook feeling. The cabin's kitchen is cozy but well-equipped and we were able to prepare many nice hot dinners. The owner-managers are responsive and attentive. The property description is really accurate, which we truly appreciated. The 10-minute walk (or a quick snowmobile ride) up a snowcat-groomed road is fine for us, but a point to consider if you're renting there in the winter.

Funky, functional cabin/home in a convenient and beautiful location. We were able to do lots of snow play right outside the front door. Would definitely recommend and visit again

I liked the cabin and location. It is cool retro sheik. If you like Hot tub time machine you will love this cabin. The owner is great and there is a ton of beds. I enjoyed my stay. Thanks ken

Nice cozy country/mountain getaway.

Definitely enjoyed staying at this location

We enjoyed our short stay at the cabin. The location is excellent - we enjoyed visits to Lake Alpine and Calaveras Big Trees State Park. The cabin is fairly secluded. We could see other cabins, but they aren’t too close for comfort in a mountain setting. It’s very quiet and dark at night, too, which should be expected. Maybe it’s more lively during ski season, but we liked the tranquility. The cabin has true 60s/70s vintage style which we loved! But it could use some light updating - more like fixes. The blinds In the upstairs bedroom were broken and several lightbulbs were out or the wrong wattage used throughout the cabin. There is no proper overhead light in the kitchen so it was a bit hard to cook dinner. But we managed and sort of got used to it. The vintage green fridge is super cool looking and is cold enough, but it is loud and seems to run all the time. Fixing or changing it out could save some energy/money I’d think. I think the listing says there is a dishwasher - there isn’t. But that didn’t bother us at all. We didn’t use the gas grill as it has seen far better days. The lid was broken and if there should be lava rocks inside they seem to have disintegrated and there is a lot of rust. It didn’t seem safe or a good idea to use it. Overall, this is a cool mountain A-frame cabin meant for ski trips and summer vacations. It is not fancy, but it is comfortable enough and good for a getaway.

My family was able to celebrate Christmas in this mountain cabin. We still had a good amount of snow so the kids were able to go outside and play. We felt very safe with the kids outside and the cabin is on a good size lot. We enjoyed the peace and quiet that the mountain had to offer. The cabin had plenty of room to sleep and the kids enjoyed the spiral staircase. It definitely is an older cabin with older appliances, but overall was a good time away from home.

beautiful house , well maintained , woods all around and great hikes We drove up from the bay area (not bad at all ). we will come back and bring friends. THANKS

I had the pleasure of staying at this cabin for a week this summer with my family of four along with a few visiting friends. The cabin is clean, well maintained with a great deck that almost felt like a tree house. We BBQ'ed every night under the stars using the new propane grill. My kids took full advantage of the DVD surround sound system for "movie" night every night while the adults had cocktails on the deck. Aside from the cabin a big bonus is the close proximity to the little lake a few blocks away. It's a great family swimming hole that is shallow for the first 50 yards so it took the stress off mom:) For bigger adventures we drove out to Kayak at Alpine Lake (10 minutes) or Uttica reservoir (25 minutes). We also checked out the Ski resort which looks like a great spot in the winter. You could easily pack in 14 people with ski gear for a winter retreat which we are considering for the upcoming season. All in all I give this a big thumbs up. We will be back!
