Very much enjoyed the location and proximity to Pinecrest and Twain Harte, the tall windows, fireplace and view. Kitchen was nice and bed very comfortable. The place was very quiet and relaxing. Spiral staircase took some getting used to. We had a fun trip.

Great mountain home

This place was perfect for getting to good hikes but also close enough to get to good restaurants for dinner. It is super accessible and had the best breakfast place, The Sugar Shack, right down the road.

We can't recommend Sweet Retreat enough, the home, the location, the town and Gina & Keith are all way beyond the pictures and expectations. There's nothing more we could say, other than just go and stay there, see for yourself....

Watch your step!

Property is as described and access to the lake was a big plus. Really enjoyed our stay. Not a complaint, just be aware the backyard is a bit steep and there are a lot of steps to reach the house from the parking area, so individuals with mobility issues should consider that.

So happy to hear you really enjoyed your stay. Would love the opportunity to host you at any four of our cabin retreats. Yes please be cautious with the steps and outdoor areas can in our area can be steep. So happy to hear you enjoyed the private lake.

Beautiful Cabin Stay

Dear Gina & Keith, Thank you for the lovely stay at the Sweet Retreat our family loved our time there. You've thought of every detail and amenity for a perfect visit. Kitchen is stocked for cooking and serving; rooms are comfy and so pretty; TV's video games and board games were great. Super easy to find and the instructions we're easy to follow. Setting is lovely and so close to skiing Dodge Ridge! Can't wait for a return visit soon.

Spent two nights for ski vacation to Dodge Ridge. Good location. Took the ski bus from Alicia’s Sugar Shack. Good amenities and a cozy place to stay. The host is very responsive and flexible. Just ask! 😀
