My family and I had a great time during our Christmas get-together. The house was very comfortable and cozy. The house was larger than I expected, there were 8 of us so we had plenty of space. Mike was a great host, quick to respond and very accommodating. I asked him if he could make it snow and he came through! :)
This lovely mountain home has all the conveniences and comforts of home- well appointed, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. Our family enjoyed our stay.
Comfortable large private open floor plan home with beautiful forest views. One of the best well stocked homes. Hiking near property & Pinecrest lake an additional plus. Thank you.
Comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen and a nice location. Property manager kept in contact, even through a power outage during a blizzard, he was able to help get someone to plow the driveway. A very memorable stay!

Oh my goodness! You were there in an epic storm, and so much snow came down, about 4 feet in a weekend, very exciting. You all are welcome back anytime.
We loved this beautiful mountain home! Our goal in booking the trip was to find a spot where we could vacation with our dog - somewhere a little more secluded and peaceful than right at Pinecrest Lake. This home met and exceeded our goal. It was beautiful and tranquil. Our only regret was not booking a longer stay! We cooked great dinners in the well-appointed kitchen, enjoyed sunsets on the deck watching bats amoung the pine trees, played games around the large dinning table, cozied up for Netflix on the comfy sofas, hiked and swam at breath-taking Pincecrest Lake, and slept so comfortably each night with the AC. Thank you! We look forward to booking again!
Nice place! We traveled up the highway to Beardsley Lake and Fraser Flat, but it was a little smoky from the distant wildfires.
There is plenty of room on the property and good privacy. This would be a good place to bring kids.
The property was perfect for our family! The dogs had plenty of room to romp and we didn’t have to leave the house to do some sledding. Plenty of rooms and space. So many accommodating items. It was such a wonderful stay.
We enjoyed our time so much we are thinking about doing a summer trip here. The home had everything you could possibly need and some. The location was close to everything. No need to haul up toys for the kids, there was plenty of them. Games for the adults too. Great place!
We had an awesome experience staying here. The kids had a great time (we have twins that are three years old and a 5 year old). We drove to ski at Dodge Ridge, 30 minutes away, went sledding and played on the playground on the property. This is the perfect place to stay for a cheap family ski trip! Thanks again, Mike!

Sorry about that, the garbage companies don't have a small enough truck to service our road, and then the issue in winter is the (garbage truck) getting stuck in snow. AWD is recommended in winter.

Beautiful home
The home was definitely set up for comfort. The kitchen had everything we needed. The living room cozy and bedrooms comfortable. It is in the perfect spot for exploring and close enough to the market for anything you forgot at home. It was a perfect weekend!

This lovely home is large and handicap accessible. Plenty of needed supplies like linen, towels and paper products. Wifi and cable TV a big plus! Air conditioned!!! The person renting was very accessible to answer any questions. We’d definitely rent again!

About the host
Hosted by Mike Smith
This is my parents home,they are originally from San Francisco, growing up there and meeting at S.F. State. My Mom worked as an elementary school teacher and Dad worked as an electrician. Scout camping trips year round in the Sierras really warmed us to the area. My parents raised us family on the Peninsula, sent us kids to college, and are now enjoying retirement, and being new grandparents. We wanted to share this beautiful home with others so they might have wonderful weekend and vacation experiences that we were able to create for our family. In the winter you can ski at Dodge Ridge, in the Summer you can go to Pinecrest lake and play on the water. Hiking and camping opportunities galore.
Why they chose this property
Friends and Family live nearby in Twain Harte, and Pinecrest. It's a shorter drive than going to Tahoe from the Bay Area.
What makes this property unique
Snow in the winter, with it skiing, snowboarding, and being nice and snug by a warm fire. Summer has beautiful hikes and boating on nearby lakes. Fresh mountain pine air. It's lovely.
