This is a lifetime experience your family will always remember and hopefully visit each year after. The quiet isolation in the wilderness is something only one can dream of on occasion. Yet, here you go this luxury log cabin has everything you can imagine. Enjoy the outdoors with numerous hikes to historic trails and fishing holes alike. Silver Lake is just below where you can visit with the locals and take in some swimming. Star gazing is a phenomenal scene to introduce your kids to astronomy or a romantic night with your loved one. However you fulfill your day, you will feel the relaxation your soul desires and appreciate our natural surroundings up here in the High Sierra. Home is not pet friendly, but pets have been in the home.

About the area - Located in the El Dorado National Forest near Silver Lake at the top of Highway 88

In 1848 a company of Mormons, some of whom had served in the Mexican–American War as part of the Mormon Battalion, were planning to leave the recently discovered gold fields near Placerville to join the new Mormon colony at Salt Lake City, Utah. Daniel Browett, president and lead scout of the Browett-Holmes Company, decided to ride out with two companions and scout snow conditions and a possible route over the Sierra Nevada against the advice of the rest of the company. When the scouts hadn't returned by July 5, a party of 10 went in search of them without success. On July 19, the main group, now on its way to Utah, arrived at the spring and found a freshly dug shallow grave with broken arrows lying about. Upon investigation, they found their scouts' bodies in the grave, whereupon they named the spring "Tragedy." The spring lies at an elevation of 7,907 feet. (Wikipedia)
