The best Thanksgiving week ever!!
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.
Wonderful Alpine County House
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.
Charming and Comfortable
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.
Best Regards,
Jim Brenza
Perfect house for our fall getaway
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!
Peace and quiet - top quality
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The property exceeded our expectations based on the description. In particular, it is equipped with everything needed for a trouble-free and pleasant stay. It is a high quality property with attention to detail. Nothing cheap about it. You will be satisfied with its simple elegance.
Fantastic stay - thanks!
We rented this property in Markleeville in July of 2013 to use as a base for participation in the Death Ride. Its a fantastic location only a few miles from the start of the ride and as a bonus you are only a couple of miles from the hot springs. The hot springs features a cold pool as well as the hot pool and they are a great way to relax after a day of riding/hiking.
In addition to the hot springs this location is also a fantastic jumping off point to hike and explore any of the nearby peaks. There is also a nice little walk up to a waterfall with the trailhead near the hot springs. Other activities in the area include fishing. Although we didnt participate we saw lots of folk down by the rivers, fishing rods in hand.
The house is well fitted out and close to Markleeville town. The town has a small general store, Library, visitors center, gas pump/station and a couple of cafes. There is no cell reception in the Markleeville area or at the house but the house has good wifi access.
Great kitchen and out door eating area complements good lounging area indoors.
Super property and the owners were great to deal with. Would definitely recommend!
