This cabin is really special. We loved our stay and slept great in the comfortable bed! My dog and I loved taking walks on the property to explore all the artful moments the owner has created. The kitchen had everything we needed. It is very peaceful and I felt immediately disconnected and stress free!
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin cottage! The hostess was incredibly sweet and truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The property is absolutely gorgeous and so peaceful. We really enjoyed hiking around the property with our doggies. The cottage itself was cozy, comfortable, and so charming we didn’t want to leave. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!
Here’s a warm, thoughtful, and "awesome" review you can leave for Suzan’s cottage:---We just spent two magical nights at Suzan’s enchanting cottage, and I can’t say enough good things about it. Nestled in the woods, it felt like stepping into a fairytale. Every detail of the cottage was beautifully thought out, charming, cozy, and clearly designed with care and love. My husband, teenager, and I instantly felt at home, and our dogs were in heaven exploring the property. It’s rare to find a place that feels this peaceful and special. Suzan was a lovely and gracious host, and we truly felt welcomed. We’re already dreaming about coming back!
Wonderful stay. House looks small from the outside, but rooms are spacious. Good size kitchen with good space to cook and bathroom with dual sinks, jetted tub and walk in shower. Master bedroom was big, has a sitting area/desk space; King size bed, very comfy. Loft beds 2 full size. also comfy, my daughter loved it up there. Suzan was welcoming, very friendly and attentive to details. Land is beautiful. We had snow during our weekend, needed 4 wheel drive, but was amazing! We all played in the snow, and then enjoyed getting warm by the fire in the home. Suzan welcomed our two dogs (70lb lab and 50lb puppy) with open arms and they loved playing in the snow and had tons of space to run free without bothering others or being in another property. Property is easy to find if you follow Suzan directions (even in the snow). We are looking forward to returning! Wonderful experience and weekend for our family of 3 humans and 2 dogs.
The cottage was wonderful. We are a family of 5. 2 adults and and our 3 children. Ages 9, 4 and 2. Let me tell you there was something for everyone there. The cottage was small but cozy. High chair was available which helped a lot. It was so clean and very well taken care of. The attention to detail by Suzan was just a breath of fresh air. The blankets towels sheets I mean everything smelled so clean and fresh. The house was very clean and well equipped. The outside was super fun for our family we enjoyed the frisbee golf, corn hole, swing set and just exploring the property every morning and evening was exciting for the children and ourselves. I felt very safe with my kids outside even though we always went out with them, she has is so well kept it was perfect our our little ones. I’m a spiritual person and the energy of a place always defines my stay. As soon as we got there I was filled with such love and warmth. So much was put into this property that you can’t help but feel at home there. Suzan greeted us and was so sweet and kind. We will definitely be back to visit soon. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We went back home refreshed and recharged!
My husband and I really had a wonderful time at the Fairy Tale cottage. We especially liked being able to bring our dog. Very relaxing and quiet environment.
We came to the fairytale cottage two days after having to say goodbye to our elderly dog, and needless to say we were sad and tired. But Suzan was so caring and welcoming and the house and property so enchanting that we were able to really rest and begin the healing process. The house is very clean and cozy. So much attention to detail, so much thoughtfulness went into her cottage and the property. Will definitely stay here again.
You truly couldn’t have a better host than Suzan. The surrounding property is beautiful. The house has everything you could need. A large shower with duel shower heads, a very unique soaking tub, a big beautiful fireplace, and so much more. Suzan was available and very responsive when I had a question. I’m most definitely visiting again. Thank you!
Fairy tale cottage was just what we expected. It is a beautiful charming serene and calm place to just sit back and relax. Our host Suzan was so kind and warm. She tended to our every need. This little spot between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe is just the right place to visit and stay when you want a little get away. Are little dogs loved it here, many nice trails to walk with them. The property is beautiful. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Suzan
Our stay at the Fairy Tale Cottage was the perfect place for a relaxing girls weekend getaway!! The cottage is a beautiful home set back in, off the road, surrounded by tall pine trees. The cottage itself is nicely furnished, very clean and fully stocked with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The owner, Suzan, is the most wonderful and gracious hostess and we truly enjoyed our time visiting with her. We all agreed that God had truly blessed us with our stay here and look forward to returning again soon!! :)
Suzan is absolutely an amazing person!!! Property was clean and well kept, cabin is spectacular!! We spent the evening by the fire talking with Suzan and enjoyed a glass of wine conversation. Could not have asked for a better honeymoon weekend. We will definitely keep it touch and be back again!
Ps. Hope our review is good enough for your granddaughter...lol
Great property; my kids had a great time in the snow. The host was very accommodating when we had to rescue due to the pandemic. Will definitely go there again.
We have visited more than once and each time has been wonderful. Everything is perfect and Suzan is the perfect hostess! I love visiting the Fairytale Cottage and can’t wait to go again. Thank you, Suzan!
This is the second time my wife and I have stayed at the cottage. Suzan is an exceptional hostess. The setting of the cottage is beautiful. The cottage is clean, well kept and beautiful. We will be back!
We had a pleasant anniversary weekend. The cabin is great. Everything was just as described. We spent a lot of time playing games at the kitchen table. The view is wonderful. The property was very green due to plenty of rain. It poured one night while we were there. The bed is comfortable. Plenty of hot water. We would enjoy staying again and maybe bring some friends.
Adorable pet friendly cottage in the Mountains of Alta Ca
Easy to rent, description of property accurate, very pet friendly, owner very accommodating, lovely place to get away in the Mountains. Lots of hiking and other outdoor activities nearby.

Fairytale Cottage
This property was perfectly located for us attending our son’s wedding at their home a few miles away. Charming, with all the amenities one would hope for. Suzan, the property owner, was gracious in every way. We would not hesitate to stay there again. 5 *****
