When we first made reservations for the yellow house, we had no idea how fabulous our stay would be. Since our first stay, we have returned three times; again will be returning in September. There are no negatives for renting this lovely, comfortable, immaculate cabin (we have also stayed in the smaller unit: another exceptionally nice experience.) Both units are stocked with all your needs (except for food, actually, coffee and tea are provided.) On another positive note; when you rent from Helga and Walter, the duck pond is an added attraction with entertainment from the ducks, squirrels, and wandering deer. Relaxing in provided lawn chairs, you may view the mountain snow peaks and beautiful open meadow. The place is surrounded by interesting and enjoyable wildlife. In addition, near by fishing and deer hunting is great. We will continue to come back year after year. Helga and Walter are the greatest hosts you could ever find. We consider them both our family; full of cheerful spirit and warm hearts. Diane & Walt / Davis, CA
