Hello, Vivian and David. We had a lovely stay in your great log cabin. We used to rent a vacation home at Tahoe while our kids were growing up, so have had quite a taste of mountain living. I must say that yours is one of the nicest if not the fanciest. What set it apart for me is the feeling that it is, in fact, your home, not just a commercial enterprise. The spirit of laughter and good vibes abounds. Of course, your taste in decor in the house is so compatible with mine- felt at home right away. My grand-daughter loved the kids rooms and claimed it as her own immediately. Everything worked perfectly. An especial thank you for providing toilet paper! This was an item we forgot- could have been a disaster. The only problem I had was that I'm too short to reach beyond the first shelf in the cabinets. Thankfully both of the kids are much taller. We had a great time. Thank you. Anne

David and Vivian, We always enjoy coming to Mi Wuk and so enjoy your charming cabin. We always enjoy the lake, quaint Twain Harte (we went to a pancake breakfast given by the fire-fighters). I won a lovely basket of jams, salsa, and condiments with their raffle. We went on some hikes and fishing at the fish farm. We caught 7 rainbow trout and barbecued them (so good). Unfortunately the fish won't even come close to my bait. It seems to scare them away. We are even considering buying a vacation home in this area as we get closer to retring. Thanks again for the use of your cabin. Tom and Tina

Dear David and Vivian, Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful cabin. Our stay served as a much needed respite! We spent our days lougning on Pinecrest and Sword Lake. We absolutely loved using the boat and floaty mattress. We had a great time...we loved channel-surfing the t.v...never do that at home. The hot showers after a hike...perfect!! Tom, Tina, Daphine, and Ageliki Bundros

Dear Vivian and David, Having Christmas in your cabin was absolutely perfect!! Although it didn't snow here, we had plenty skiing at Dodge Ridge and sledding at Leland's. We cut our own Christmas Tree at Sierra Glen Apple Ranch (they have the best apple cider I have ever had!) Your "kid zone" with its long table was perfect for all of our crafts. We made all of our own ornaments and strung popcorn for the tree. Thank you so much for all your kindness, your personal touches really made a difference! We will recommend your cabin to all our friends, and we will definitely be back!
