                    We were all in serious need of a real getaway and the log cabin was just the right place. Diane's home is just that a true home away from home. It is rural with wildlife, a beautiful creek and nice amenities. Inside the log cabin it is so comfortable and clean with everything thing described in a book on the counter of what to do around the house, how to get to Grass Valley and so on which was very helpful for us. It is truly a laid back , feel good place to be. Diane takes true pride in her log cabin and it shows. So go and enjoy a VERY relaxing time in this beautiful place. Thanks again Diane.

                    Great house! Very clean, quiet and comfy, great place to sit out back and read. We went with our daughter, a teenage girl, but if I had young sons this would be the place to be with creeks, rope swings and frogs oh my! It's a bit of a drive to town over a very curvey road, but a beautiful drive! Just watch out for deer, they were on the sides of the road, middle of the road and it felt like they were just waiting to jump out in front of the car! Drive slow!

                    Our weekend at the Log House was fantastic. It was everything we expected from the ad and more! Everything was clean and well maintained and the owner was very helpful in answering any questions. We were in the area to visit a friend but the scenery and surroundings are great for anyone planning a trip to this area. I would definitely recommend the property and I hope we can go back for another visit!

                    What a relaxing atmosphere! The loghouse was spacious, clean and cozy. My son woke every morning before every one else to play near the creek or just peruse the books in the comfy loft. The spacious and rustic dining table was the center of many easy conversations over wine or a bowl of cereal. I highly recommend loghouse. Thanks Diane for sharing this goldmine.

                    This log cabin was great, just as the owner had described it and very nicely kept. The cabin was extremely comfortable, had all the amenities we needed; in fact I had asked about a crock pot and the Owner made sure there was one for us to use (so we had 2 and we needed both of them). I have 3 boys (14, 11 and 9) and they loved the ping pong and the creek with the swing. That's all they could talk about was going in the creek. We have already discussed another trip next year because our trip was too short this year. This place will not disappoint you!!

                    This house is very nice. Clean, very well-equipped, and comfortable. The setting is pretty, with a running creek out back, and it is close (driving distance) to the very pretty Bear River. We had five adults, and there was plenty of room, although there are only two bathrooms, which might be a challenge with more people. The ping pong table in the rec room was a plus. The information provided by the owner was very helpful, about sites to see, etc. I would strongly recommend eating at Diego's in Grass Valley -- a really great restaurant. I would definitely recommend this property.

                    The cabin was as beautiful as it was descriped. Everything that was promised was there. My family enjoyed our time there especially the kids. They love the ping pong table, jacuzzi, and the creek. For me, I fell inlove with the tub in the master bedroom. It was my relaxing spot away from all the noise. Thank you for a great time.

                    Very, very nice. Exactly as advertised. Only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy amenities. We were here for two nights with elderly parents and two busy bridemaids. Three of us were musicians that brought in instruments and had a practice jam. This home worked for all of that. Basement room looked great for kids with lots of room and ping pong table. Only issue might be sleeping down there with slight musty odor for those sensitive to that. Was absolutely NOT an issue in the rest of this clean, very lovely home. We would stay again!

                    Owner response: I love having multi-generational groups in my home. With bedrooms and a full bath on both floors, it is comfortable for everyone. I am pleased to know that this family enjoyed their stay. Many groups come who use my house for their "base camp" for a wedding. It seems to work perfectly. The rec room in the basement is a bright room with two walls above ground with a large south facing window. It is cool down there because of the two walls that are below ground. I think that might be giving the effect of "musty", but will check this out and super clean accordingly. Thanks for the feedback! It is always appreciated.

                    The property was very nice and comfortable, all the amenities were as stated in the description. The only slight disturbance was the neighbors were either mowing their lawns, or doing construction both Sat. and Sunday when we were there.

                    This was our first cabin rental as a family and this place set HIGH standards! Our 3 boys had a wonderful time and so did we. We'd like to come back with another famOlympic next time. Plenty of room for 2 families. We'd like to come in the winter and enjoy what it has to bring during the cold months. We loved the creek and hammocks! It was truly a wonderful,fun relaxing family vacation,even with the flu bug for 1 day! Thanks Diane!

                  Owner info

                  Year Purchased: 1989

                  About the owner: I am a Cath Lab and ICU RN. Due to life circumstance, began vacation renting 2 of my homes a few years ago and find that I love it. It is a pleasure to share my unique homes. Thanks to all that come to them. I hope that all my guests enjoy them as much as I have.

                  Why the Owner Chose Grass Valley:
                  This was our family home. My husband and I built it. It is not a 'kit'. He designed it and with a good bit of blood, sweat and tears, it was built with the care of the quality craftsman that he is. We raised our son here. He grew up playing in the creek and hiking in the woods. He is now 24 and with the economy the way it is, renting this home to nice folks helps us finance his education. It is a lovely home in a lovely location. We hope you enjoy staying in it as much as we enjoyed living in it for all those years. Diane Foley Stevenson (OWNER)

                  The Unique Benefits at this House:
                  I love the creek and hiking in the woods. Follow the trail across the creek and up to the top of the property where you will enjoy a spectacular sunset. Walking into the house is like something magical. It really is a unique and special place to spend some well-deserved downtime.
