We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin - so much so that I almost don't want to share the secret! This was the last place we stayed during a long summer road trip - and it was one of our two favorite places of the trip. The whole family loved the lake and we spent many hours using the various canoes, kayaks, the paddle board etc. to explore the lake and try to catch frogs (not easy!). Our 6 year old had a blast kayaking all by herself. We would love to come again and stay for longer than 2 days. Our hosts were super friendly too! Being the only vacationers on the property, it was also very private and peaceful, and at the same time we weren't too worried about our small children bothering anyone else. Thanks for a great stay!

Skycrest is quickly become our only must do yearly vacation. Could be one of the best private family vacation spots anywhere. The lake is perfect, the house is perfect. We booked next year the day we left. It makes you want to move to the Trinity Alps. I wish I could keep it a secret and I wouldn't leave a comment if I didn't already know that they will be booked solid all summer anyway. No internet at the cabin but it is available about 200 yards away at the barn. Forget about your cell phone. You are in the Trinity Alps.
Owner response:We very much appreciate your wonderful comments and look forward to your next visit.

SkyCrest Lake is in a great location for scenery, fishing, river access, and just relaxation. We have stayed at SkyCrest with large groups (usually 24-30 people) for one week at a time. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, with all sorts of wild life to check out. Great location for river rafting access. All sorts of activities at the lake to keep you (or a group of kids) busy. Greg and Brenda have always gone out of their way to make us comfortable when we stay with them. The pictures on the listings don't do the place justice. The views are so amazing from up there it is hard to capture it in a picture. The property is very well-maintained. I would (and have) recommend this property to family and friends.
Owner response:Dave, Thank you for the great review!

Another outstanding visit. We love this place and the owners are easy and wonderful in all ways. Totally underpriced for what you get. Go here - kids will love it. Our three(4, 6 and 9) couldn't get enough of the lake, mountains, animals, etc. Thank you!

My family and I first stayed here for my 30th birthday and immediately fell in love with the place. With a beautiful lake right out the front door and an abundance of boats to float and paddle around on, we were in heaven. Our kids loved trying out each of the boats, and the river is just a few minutes down the road. I loved it so much that we came back the next year and rented the cabins for my bachelorette party and had a rockin' ladies weekend that we will never forget. The owners make you feel completely at home and it is somewhere that we all agreed that we have to revisit at least once every year!

Celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary here. Found by searching VRBO. The property was even better then the pictures showed and our host and hostess were friendly and helpful. The cabin has everything you could need and then some. Playing on the lake was fun and relaxing and Greg & Brenda seem to enjoy sharing their water toys. Woke up to rain one morning and even that was wonderful. Can't wait to go back next year and bring the grown kids with us.

We love coming here every summer with our family. The owners are very friendly, hospitable and we always have a very relaxing time. The cabins are fully equipped with everything we could possibly need (they have thought of everything), the property is extremely safe for our 3 and 4 year olds to play on and around and they really enjoy jumping off the floating dock. LOVE IT HERE!

We had a bachelorette party in true Northern California style! We had a complete blast and loved the beautiful scenery, activities (white water rafting on the Trinity) and the beautiful lake at Skycrest. I highly recommend this location for really any occasion. Greg and Brenda who own the property are fantastic and were very receptive to anything that we needed! Hope you all have as much as fun as we did!

Greg, many thanks for the hospitality as Bruce and I really enjoyed ourselves fishing the lake on Saturday. The fish were incredible and your ranch/setup is very pretty and impressive, and the picture was awesome! You are doing a great job with the fishery and your efforts are admired. It was a most pleasant expreience, even the weather as I can't remember the last time I fished in hail and snow and had such a good time that I never noticed it. I'm not sure what I enjoyed most, your kind hospitality, the quality fish, the serene setting, the quaint cabin or those marvelous cookies! Again, many thanks, and we will see you on our next trip. Sincerely, Jerry
