  The cabin was just as described and illustrated in pictures! To our pleasant surprise, the cabin was even more charming, relaxing, and even well stocked than we could have imagined! The views were breathtakingly beautiful and pictures don't do it justice. Everything was so wonderful we spent so much quality time in the cabin and took advantage of all the simple things like a nice family board game. There was plenty of room for my family and we never ran out things to do. We did venture out a bit to find a little bit of snow to play in. I would recommend this cabin to anyone!

  We had a great time staying in Daniel and Jamie's cozy Mi-Wuk Village cabin! We felt very comfortable and at home and loved the amazing view of the national forest from the sunny deck. Early one morning my daughters and I quietly enjoyed watching a group of deer eating on the hillside in the back yard. Our family also liked starting our days out right - with a dip in the hot tub and soaking up the view! We had the same routine in the evenings after a fun time sledding at nearby Leland Snowplay. There were tons of great books and boardgames, as well as, the piano to tink around on and ping pong to play. There was plenty of fun things to do, but we also really enjoyed the peace and quiet too. We would definitely recommend this cabin to others and hope we can go back again next year!

  Okay, so a lot of the snow had melted by the time we arrived, but it was still a great trip. The weekend at the cabin was a great get-away, very relaxing and enjoyable. A few highlights include the hot tub (the stars are just amazing on a clear night), location and thoughtfulness of the owners. The fact that the property borders the national forest makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere and having a super detailed description of the property and things to do from the owners was icing on the cake. Highly recommended.

  The cabin was the perfect backdrop to Thanksgiving with a group of good friends. We were 11 in total and curious how that would work with space, we were relieved to find the place really does sleep 12. We were cozy (think low privacy, high community) and folks opted for an air bed instead of the futon for comfort but with two full bathrooms, the open kitchen, and the magnificent deck we had plenty of space. It's easy to see how much this place is loved. It's well taken care of and easy to navigate. Any questions we had were more than answered by the owners guide book. There was a cute little dog that came to visit and even a neighbor that offered us fresh crab. We enjoyed the hikes that were just steps from the driveway and Pinecrest lake (only a 20min drive). We had great weather to be outside during the day and cozy with the fireplace at night, which was great and really warmed the place quickly. At the end of the week we didn't want to leave and I hope we make it back soon. I would highly recommend this place.

  Lovely cabin, everything was as promised. The area is beautiful, our view from deck was amazing. We took a great hike that started not even 50 steps from driveway, takes you right into the national forest. Plenty of resource material in the cabin for stuff to do in the area. We highly recommend Sunshine Rafting! They are out of Knights Ferry, about 40 min from cabin. Great first time rafting trip. The owner was great, very quick in responses whenever we had questions or concerns. Cabin was as promised, everything easily accessible. Kellys Mountain Tavern right on 108 was great place to eat, with outdoor/dog friendly eating patio. Owner came out to ask us if we and our dog were enjoying our meal/etc. We had lovely vacation, wish we could have stayed longer. Would definatly recommend this cabin to friends/family!! And will stay again if in the area. Thanks again!!

  If you have never explored the sonora pass corridor, this is a great place to do it from. One day we hiked on the eastern side of the pass and even that was only a bit more than an hours drive. Kennedy Meadows, Pinecreast, Strawberry all within easy striking distance. Excellent hiking, fishing, and swimming to be had. Daniel is a great host and a wealth of information on the entire area. The house is like an old friend. Very comfortable. Don't know if we were just lucky, but six nights sleeping out on the enormous deck under the stars and not one mosquito bite or buzz. The hummingbirds on the other hand come in swarms. Bring sugar! Will be back again next summer.

  We had an amazing time sitting on the deck with some good wine and listening to the breeze blow through the pine trees while watching birds of prey catch updrafts and soar across the mountains. I will definately come back! The location is beautiful, the house is just as described, it's like being home away from home with all the amenities and little things you often miss when you are traveling. Daniel was a very gracious host, it's obvious that he really cares about his place and also that guests have a positive experience. Thanks Daniel!

  My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here! The atmosphere was very comfortable and home-like, and there were so many fun "extras", like board games, DVDs, books, and foosball. The hot tub was great, the kitchen was fully stocked with staples and supplies, and everything was extremely clean. The owner gives visitors a very thorough cabin guide - "the screed" - with really helpful info about things to do in the surrounding area and how to make the most out of your trip. We will be returning!

  We have had one visit to this cabin, and I hope it won’t be our last. We enjoyed everything about it and our dealings with the owners. When we got there and saw the cabin for the first time, we were thrilled. It was very pretty, homey, comfortable and had the most magnificent view. By the second day, both the people and the dogs were so at home, we felt like we had always visited there. We were looking for a quiet rustic get away. A place for hiking, walking, thinking, and just plan relaxing, and we found it. We were there in the winter, so we saw sun, rain, and a lot of snow, which meant we didn’t get to hang out on the porch like we would have if it was warmer, but wow, it is a great porch. I would highly recommend this cabin, and be sure to bring your camera.

  We stayed at this wonderful cabin for two glorious days. It felt like home to us...albeit one with an amazing backyard! We loved playing foosball and ping pong indoors. Outdoors, we hiked and enjoyed the hot tub. The kids loved finding treasures on the forest floor and discovering animal prints. Our dog, Vida, loved the wrap around deck. Truth be told, the deck was one of my favorite features of the house. The setting is superb, the neighborhood is nice and quiet, and from the backyard you feel like you are the only people around for miles and miles. Thanks so much for sharing your fabulous home with us.
