The cabin was very nice and all instructions and light switches were marked and easily visible. The small yard for pets was also very much appreciated.

Thank you so much, Alex, for the kind review! We’re really happy to hear you found the cabin comfortable and the instructions easy to follow. We’re especially glad the yard worked well for your pup, that’s always important to us. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime!
The host, Jerry, was very communicative and gracious even though we broke off a part of his faucet! He also allowed us a last minute change to bring our dog with us after our dog sitter dropped out last minute! The cabin is very close to the Village (walkable) and has EV charging, which is a lifesaver! We had a great time there and would love to book this cabin again. We had a large party of 6 and one dog and everyone was excited to be there!

Thank you Lydia for your kind review. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. I am glad the proximity to The Village was good for you and that you were able to make use of the EV charger. The faucet was minor and we were able to repair it right after you left.
About the host
Hosted by Jerry Zigounakis
I'm a California native who grew up in beautiful Northern California and later moved down south to kickstart my career in visual effects. From the redwoods to the beaches, I've always loved the diversity this state has to offer.
These days, I live with my blended family—my partner and our two awesome kids. We love exploring new places together, whether it’s a cozy cabin in the mountains or a beachside getaway. As a host, I know how important it is to have a space that feels comfortable, welcoming, and well thought-out, and I do my best to provide just that.
Thanks for checking out my place—I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
I love this neighborhood because it is quiet and centrally located. The Village, Lake, Hiking Trails, Public Transportation and Snow Summit are all within walking distance.

What makes our property unique is that it has reverse layout putting the Living Room, Kitchen, and Master Bedroom upstairs for prime views.
