Great house for families
Great property and owners. Loved the kids room with bunks since we had a little one who wakes up early. It allowed us to be up without waking up the whole house. Lots of snow and summer stuff in the garage to play with and directly across the street from the clubhouse area with a park for the kids. A lot of stairs to get to the front door, which the homeowners did let us know about. If you have a lot of luggage, break it into smaller bags. Great place and awesome view.

Fantastic home, perfect location
We loved the Snowflake Chalet. Days at one of the nearby lakes, evenings on the deck playing games, sleeping in comfey beds. Couldn't ask for more.

About the host

Hosted by Naomi and Rick Hunter

Host profile image
We live in the San Francisco Bay Area and have 3 sons who are now young adults. We enjoy the outdoors and bought Snowflake Chalet to enjoy a peaceful, mountain respite from our busy lives in the Bay Area.

Why they chose this property

After vacationing with our sons in all 50 states, we can say that the Sierras rival any place in the U.S. for scenery, outdoor activities and vacation amenities!

What makes this property unique

Our mountain chalet offers the best of both worlds -- a quiet retreat in the heart of the Sierra, but with resort amenities a stone's throw away!
