  • Comment Text: Location, ambiance, variety, history... this place has all 4. We wanted a relaxing weekend away (no hotel), at a quiet, elegant and homey place. We found it. Valeri said bring the groceries, cause once you get here, you won't want to leave..... she was right! Glad we took her advice. We had such a good time there we only used the flat screen tv once and that was to watch a video of our trip to Italy. This place has all the modern conveniences of home gift wrapped in mother nature's vistas on top of the hill. Even our beagle had a great time. For the next time, we have a dilemma. Do we invite close friends to hang with, or do we just keep the cabin our little secret. Enjoy!

  • We had a wonderful stay at this lovely property. I would echo all the previous comments - cabin is cozy, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated, with everything you could want or need. The property is spectacular, and both the Heers are wonderful hosts. We went on a 2 hour trail ride that was the highlight of our stay - scenery was gorgeous, horses were well trained and great to ride, Valeri was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide and we had a blast. We will definitely be back!

  • Absolutely loved everything about Walker's Cabin! Couldn't believe the detail, inside the cabin and outside the cabin. Everything you need is there, just stop at the store because once you get there you will not want to leave. We took our own horses Tucson and Amigo. Our horses where on vacation right along with us. As a horse owner, I loved the horse set-up and the trails. We would go for a morning ride, come back to the cabin for lunch, and ride back out to explore more trails. Just couldn't get enough, loved it, loved it! What a treat for us and our horses! Thank you Kevin, Debbie, Tucson, Amigo Pollock Pines CA

  • When we decided to stay in a cabin for vacation I was very hesitant. We always travel to Hawaii or Mexico for vacation. When we drove up to the cabin I Instantly felt at peace, it was absolutely beautiful on the outside and I could hardly wait to see the inside. This by far was the best vacation I have taken in years!! The weather was perfect, the cabin is adorable, and the outside hot tub is fantastic!! We woke up every morning to birds singing, deer drinking from the little water fountain out side the bedroom door. We went to one of the local wineries for a concert; we went for evening walks and so much more. This is now going to be our 3rd year coming back and I can hardly wait!!

  • Loved the cabin !! It was instant relaxation for us, and the hiking trails and views from the cabin were just amazing. Next time we will cook the entire time at the cabin as it's so relaxing you don't want to leave. Also, a great place for children and dogs.

  • A perfect weekend. The cabin had everything we needed and the grounds are something you could spend days exploring. Our main dilema over the 3 days was deciding how much time to spend enjoying the area (wine tasting, hiking, whitewhater) and how much at the cabin. Meals were cooked on the porch staring at sunsets that we couldn't keep our eyes away from. Moring hikes produced sitings of deer, wild turkey and numerous birds. We will be back again and again.

  • WOW, WOW, WOW. This cabin is unbelievable. The care taken with every appointment is incredible. The furniture, the kitchen, the feather beds in the bedrooms. Relax. And then there's the hot tub, and the sunset. It's quiet, private, and beautiful. BONUS, the owners of the cabin came by on their horses and my kids pet them and still talk about that. A gracious host doesn't need to be in the house. BONUS, if you're a history buff the story of Walker's Cabin is amazing and inspiring. We'll be back again and again.

  • My idea of a perfect escape is to dip into another world, far away from the 9 to 5 that is my regular routine, but yet, into an environment that speaks of home. Of a comfortable living room with a fireplace, a full kitchen, and most importantly, a comfortable bed. Don’t spare the expense when it comes to sheets with a high thread count, or a comfortable mattress you can sink into at the end of the day. And, if you toss in a hot tub on a deck with a view for miles, that’s frosting on the cake. Walker’s Cabin offers absolute privacy, a corral for my horses a stone’s throw from the back door, and miles of riding trails. I’ve hauled my Missouri Foxtrotters to Point Reyes National Sea Shore, Lone Pine on Hwy 395, down to Bumblee Bee, Arizona and I’ve never in all my travels found a place that beats Walkers Cabin. Enjoy! I know I did.

  • David and I absolutely loved staying at the Cabin. It was very relaxing and beautiful. I loved hearing the wild turkeys in the morning. I loved the trails and natural scenery. My favorite were her horses. Especially Ace what a cutie! Easy to get to and beautiful surroundings. My weiner dogs love it too! I can't wait to come back again! 5 star place for us.

  • I really liked eating breakfast on the desk while enjoying the view. Comfortable and cozy. I recommend this to anyone looking for time away from civilization (but with all the comforts of the aforementioned civilization...)
