Elegant Mountain Home - 3+ bedroom / 2.5 Baths

Our party visited Ben's place during the week of Thanksgiving. Amazing time of year to visit. We had such a variety of weather that every taste in weather was presented. We had sunny lovely days, windy, blustery, fall like days, rain, and 6" of snow. We hiked, we enjoyed the large and well stocked kitchen, we sang to the classic music provided by the record collection, we put together a puzzle and enjoyed the fire. On day three, several in our party were already discussing "when we come back next year....." Ben was super easy to work with, answered all my questions thoroughly and thoughtfully, and getting into the home was a piece of cake. The space of the home is undersold in the pictures; it's much roomy than it appears. Lots of extra blankets too. We walked down Hot Springs Road a ways to the west at night, and the view of the Milky Way was amazing. This home is a great value, I highly recommend it if you are seeking to stay in this area.

Our group loved this woodsy cabin set among the Aspen trees in the small town of Markleeville. The house was beautiful and comfortable. It is close to great hiking, biking, swimming, and hot springs without being in the crowds at Lake Tahoe. I highly recommend this house. And Ben the owner was very responsive and helpful.

My friends and I stayed at this Markleeville home for the 4th of July weekend, and we were very comfortable there. The downstairs is laid out perfectly for gathering and entertaining. The kitchen has a big central island which makes it easy for friends to sit and visit while others cook. Nice modern appliances and cookware, make the place feel like someone's home and not a rental. The kitchen opens onto the dining room and sunken living room, which has enough space for several adults to gather comfortably. There is a great collection of vinyl records and several toys to keep children under 10 entertained. We spent a lot of time on the deck, barbequing and enjoying the warm summer evening.

The house is slightly off the beaten path, in the woods. Other houses are visible, but it certainly feels private. About a 5 minute drive to "downtown" Markleeville and about 30 minutes to Kirkwood. Some other great mountain lakes are within an hour's drive.

I would definitely recommend this place for a weekend getaway, and we my group hopes to return next year.

My family and I loved our stay at this house in Markleeville. We came to see fall colors in the area and there was a beautiful grove of aspen right in front of the house that we admired the whole time. The location was perfect - close to many good hikes - a few that you can do right from the house. The property itself is peaceful and there was plenty of room for our group of 5 adults and 2 kids. Great kitchen, nice open feeling to the downstairs, and comfortable bedrooms upstairs. We felt at home here right away.

Thanks for a wonderful weekend stay - we hope to be back again next year!
