CASA CAZADORES: 4BR/2.5BA ON THE SHORES OF LAKEMONT PINES LAKE, W/REC ROOM & POOL TABLE, KAYAKES AND CANOE -PET FRIENDLY

My family stayed at the house for five nights while we did some skiing at Bear Valley. We had a great experience! There were six adults and six kids. Plenty of room to spread out, very cozy and close to the store. Easy to find. Great hot tub and game room. Definitely recommend it!!

We came up with our two daughters (ages 6 and 8) so they can learn to ski. Bear Valley is such a great place for kids to learn. We had three blue bird days. After a long day of skiing we came home to this great cabin. It really had everything we needed. Great kitchen so we could cook our meals. The hot tub was exceptional. The girls had a great time in the game room with the pool table, television and couches. With the cabin being right across the street from the lake and dam it made it great to take our 1.5 year old black lab out to play.

We stayed over Spring Break. I brought my kids, grandkids and dogs. We had a great time. I really like the way the cabin is layed out. The property was better than was listed on line. It was clean and well maintained. We had one problem with the hot tub and that was because someone turned the temp up to high. So I called Cedar Creek Realty and they sent someone over ASAP! That's so cool. Last time I rented a cabin up at Lake Tahoe (not at all associated with the cabin or company) and had problems with the hot tub, the owner responded, oh well. Not here, fast! I would recommend this cabin. We had planned to stay again in the summer to take advantage of the lake being DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET, but there are no openings when we want to go. So bummed about that. Didn't get to try Serefina's, an Italian restaurant just up highway 4. Everyone says it is delicious but just never got the chance. Big Trees State Park is just up the road. We did the North Grove trail, it was amazing. Wi fi was very good and all the TV's worked (cable TV). There are no street lamps so when it is dark, it is very dark. The better to see all the stars! We've been to Tahoe twice, Twain Harte and now here, this one is my favorite!

Thanks for letting us stay,

Janice

We had booked this place months in advance for a Spring Break week of skiing and snowboarding. Well, mother nature had other plans for us... record low snowfall and drought. We did go to Bear Valley for one day and it was about as bad as expected. So we turned this into a "summer" trip and this place delivered. The lake that is 40 yards from the home is BEAUTIFUL. We spent our days kayaking, SUPing, and canoeing. The kids spent every chance they had in the lake. (We brought wetsuits for the kids, water temp ~ 52, air temp ~70). There are great hikes you can do from the house and drive to nearby attractions like Moaning Caverns, which I'd recommend.

The house itself did not look like much when driving up to it, if I have to be honest. However once you step inside, it is great! The kitchen is spacious enough and very well appointed for a rental. The game room is great with a billiard table and dart board. The living room is nicely done and stocked with board games. In fact we found a new family favorite that we now need to buy (Apples to Apples). The outdoor decks are nicely laid out with a dining set in one part and a hot tub in the other. The hot tub was a great way to end the day, every day. We are already talking about going back.

We just got back from our trip to Arnold and could not have been happier! The house is great, very clean and well equipped with lots of space and things to do for big and little kids.

We went at the end of January and had somebody open the house for us which was nice as it was nice and warm already and we could move in right away.

We got the best of both worlds - we got to hang out at the house and enjoy the warm, sunny weather and we also drove up to Bear Valley where there was snow. The kids (3 and 5 years old) got to experience snow for the first time and the bunny slopes were perfect for my older one to get her first skiing in. We just purchased a ticket for her for $5 for the entire day and my husband just hung out with her and taught her a little bit how to ski.

We also did some sledding at the end of Highway 4 and across from the Village where we rented inner tubes, which was a little pricy ($12 per tube I believe) but totally worth it as the kids wanted speed!

The cute town of Murphy is only 15 minutes away and is a mecca for wine lovers. Great restaurants and little boutiques and you can purchase a picnic (and a bottle of wine) and go to the cutest park behind the Murhpy hotel and sit by the river and enjoy your lunch while the kids play on the playground.

Back at the house, we hopped in the brand new hot tub underneath the giant trees, enjoyed the view of the lake and cooked family dinners. The kitchen is really functional and well stocked and the very nice grocery store is less than a mile way. The dining table seats at least 12 people and is great for entertaining.

There are toys for the big kids (pool, darts etc) and little ones, too (a corner with all kinds of books, puzzles, board games etc).

The perfect destination for a relaxing get-away. We are already planning another stay for the summer to see the caverns and do some horsebackriding in Murphy's.
