Guests comments: 'The cabin was in great shape, obviously cared well for by your family, and we tried to leave it that way. We had a fun time! The kids especially enjoyed the toys and the movies. We did make a nice sledding run in the back yard woods, which we hope can be enjoyed by others, as well.' B & E from Oakland, CA.
'We had a wonderful time thank you - ...I hadn't appreciated how open plan the lay out was from the photos. That said, we loved the cabin and the location so hopefully there will be another chance for us to come back. ' M, from Palo Alto, CA.

This is a charming and cozy cabin. The cabin was very clean and spacious. The location was perfect for all of our activities. Fabulous hosts. Thank you!
Had a great spring skiing visit to Bear Valley, and the cabin was exactly what we were looking for: snowbound, easy to access, spacious, clean and well equipped. This is a classic Bear Valley cabin, so don't expect luxurious appointments, but everything was exactly as advertised and worked well, location is extremely convenient, and we had a great time.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and as advertised. The kitchen was especially well stocked with pots/pans/utensils/etc. We loved that the house was snow-bound, yet it was still close enough to walk in with our belongings from the parking lot. Will return someday.
The cabin was really great and the host Katia was great also. Even though I like staying at different places every year, it’s going to be very tempting to rent this one again.
We loved the house - especially not needing a snowmobile to get to it! House was super clean and spacious. Plenty of parking nearby and the mountain was only a 10-15 min drive away. Would def stay again.

We came up for a long weekend. The cabin was perfect for us. The kitchen was well stocked (better then what I expected), the beds were comfortable and the outdoor fire pit made our nights. We are looking forward to coming back

Thank you for staying with us and glad to know you enjoyed your stay!
Perfect spot to join our out of state children and grandchildren. Lots of room for everyone and absolutely everything you need. Lodge is easily walkable. Lakes and great trails are a quick drive. Very easy check-in but Katia was always available. We had a wonderful stay!!
The host was great and easy to get a hold of and explain how things work. The house was very clean and warm and in a great location close to the base of the hill. The kids loved it. Thanks!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Hope to host your family again in the future.

Why they chose this property
Our cabin's location is incredible! It is ideal for a mountain getaway in the winter wonderland and yet in close proximity to downtown, for restaurants and ski shuttle, so you don't feel like you are away from the action but yet it is secluded as it sits on over 1/3 acre next to green open county land. We enjoy the spacious level lot, adjacent to green space providing serene outdoor living . Cabin also provides for an easy winter access for our family and friends. Summer time, we fell in love with the seasonal creek that runs behind our cabin and the downtown proximity so kids and the whole family can ride their bikes or walk to the lake, swimming pool, park, library, restaurants etc... We are also close to Spicer Reservoir, Stanislaus river and of course Lake Alpine.
What makes this property unique
This cabin is one of the closest to the village, providing easy winter access and it is kids friendly. (We have xbox 360, several PG DVDs, toys, games, kids little table, portable highchair & crib). Our cabin is updated, always well maintained, well furnished and fully stocked with all amenities of your own home for your ultimate comfort. We also provide our guests with a tandem kayak for your leisure in the summertime located at our local private Bear Lake.
