Just as we imagined it would be and more. The views were amazing from all angles. Very clean house and a full functioning kitchen. We had a great weekend catching up on some much needed rest and relaxation. Our dog Jack loved all the grass to run in that wraps just about all the way around the house. Hosts were very accommodating and very responsive. We can't wait to stay again.
My family of four adults and two little dogs had a wonderful weekend at this clean, peaceful, spacious home. Owners were very friendly and very responsive to all communication. A family of 5 deer spent most of one day on the front lawn, we watched them through the large living room windows. We’ll definitely be back!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The views are amazing, lots of star gazing at night. The house is beautiful, with everything you need, and nicely decorated. If we vacation in the area again, we'll be checking the availability of this vacation home.
Beautiful house with amazing views. Private and quiet. Great location to visit Lake Davis. Big kitchen with everything you need. We loved hanging out in the front and back with our dog. We hope to come back again someday.
Beautiful location with a spectacular view of the valley. House is well maintained and very clean and the furniture/beds were very comfortable. Two small suggestions would be a rag/sponge for the kitchen sink and soap/body wash for the showers. We Highly recommend this place and plan to be back for the spring bird migration.
I don't think I have enough words for how beautiful this property is!! It felt like a mountain oasis! We loved every minute and are already planning when we can return!! Thank you so much for sharing your home and making our vacation amazing!!
Host made everything super straight forward and was accommodating. Our 2nd stay here so knew exactly what to expect and love the tranquility of the place + proximity to Grizzly Ranch Golf. We will definitely stay here again.
We had a great stay again at this beautiful and comfortable home in a great location close to Lake Davis and the Lakes Basin. The property is beautiful with great views and sunsets. Be sure to have breakfast at Trout’s Cafe. My dog loves it there and I appreciate he’s welcome
We had a fantastic time! We sat by the fire, cooked, hiked the property, and explored the surrounding area. The cabin is well-appointed, clean, and offers amazing views—perfect for a large group or a couples' getaway
My wife and I booked here as a New Year's getaway for us, our dog and a few friends. The location was clean, quiet, and picturesque. Our group loved it so much we are already looking to book again.
Great place and great hosts!
We stayed here to host Thanksgiving for several family members that live locally. Even the locals were stunned by the beauty of the surroundings hills and the Sierra Valley. A great neighborhood for walking and seeing farm animals. The house was perfect for all our needs. It was well laid out and very well stocked. Even a much needed turkey pan! There were many appreciated small touches such as soft cozy throws on the couch. The host was very communicative. We look forward to returning in the future!
We had a wonderful time during our stay and Travis was a great host! The property is very comfortable and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The views and setting for the property are amazing. Thank you, Travis, for a fantastic stay!
