Location: Kirkwood, Gold Country & High Sierra, California, USA
Accommodations: Studio, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 6)
Our retreat has the atmosphere of a high elevation “refuge” in the Alps, with modern amenities and an original design right in the Kirkwood valley. Three alcove beds with beautiful views, a comfortable couch, a high wet bar, and a barbecue on the deck all make for any easy transition into vacation mode. Previous visitors have loved the space and found sleeping in the cedar alcoves incredibly restful.
The retreat is child safe and family friendly. It comes with a collection of children’s books, puzzles, board games and movies. It is perfect for young families and small groups of friends. During ski season, you can cross-country ski and snow shoe right off the deck or have the shuttle take you to lifts a few minutes away. In the summer, simply hike out to the adjacent national forest or any of the surrounding lake. It is a beautiful place to stay in a beautiful valley.
