Loved the house- well stocked, spacious, quiet and perfect for adults and kids. Location is great- super convenient to skiing, sledding/tubbing, snow play as well as Arnold. We had a really nice stay and look forward to visiting again!
This home is conveniently located so we could quickly get to Bear Valley ski resort without having to battle the snow. The home is large and provides lots of room. Our teenagers had their own living area, which was fantastic. We even got to watch the Superbowl while soaking in the hot tub! Host responds quickly to inquiries; we had no problems and would definitely stay here again.
Once again we had a fantastic family time at the mountain cabin. It's not a cabin but a homey house in the woods. We try to go twice a year because our whole family loves it. You will too!
We really enjoyed the cabin in the woods! Very inviting and roomy, with all the conveniences we needed. We loved it in June, and would love to come back in the winter!
We had a great time at the house for a snow trip. The house was clean, comfortable, and very accommodating. The property manager was very responsive and helpful to all our questions.
It was our second visit to this property and it was even more enjoyable than the first. Very comfortable, well appointed, wonderful and accessible hosts. The entire family really felt comfortable at the house. Definitely a favorite for us.
Another great family getaway. Can't wait for the next one!
This was our third trip to the amazing cabin (castle). It has every amenity that you might need. Big enough for families to have their own space, I just can't say enough about this getaway.
Thanks so much Linda, see you next year!
This is a second time we stayed at the property and it is perfectly located to be close to snow with kids without having to chain up every time. The development get ploughed well but you can catch times in the morning when you can sled in driveways. We go to bear valley for cross country ski and this is a perfect spot. House is well appointed and feels homey, not like a blank rental
Great, family and dog friendly experience- will come back!
We loved our stay- such a fun house. The owners really set you up for success with a well stocked kitchen- tons of spices, even a bit of butter in the fridge! The kids enjoyed all the games and ping pong. Our dog loved exploring the outdoors and chasing chipmunks. We went to Lake Alpine our first day which was so picturesque and not crowded at all. It was a perfect day of swimming SUP-ing and there was even live music at the Alpine lodge. The next day we fell in love with the Rec Center- Inner Tube Water Polo was my most joyful discovery of the summer! We would love to be able to come back next summer.

The house was well stocked up with various necessities (show shovels, coffee filters) and everything was in great shape. The yard outside was great, large enough for our 2 dogs to run around in the snow a bit

Amazing Vacation
We had our end of summer family vacation here and it was probably the best one we've had so far. There was plenty of room for all the different personalities and time schedules. We enjoyed spending time in the amazing kitchen and back deck including the hot tub. Linda was a super host and made sure our stay was wonderful. We are hoping to go back and you can't go wrong with this amazing mountain getaway.
This is our second trip and we are planning one in August. The owners are fantastic and do everything they can to make your stay a remarkable one. I consider this a home not a cabin because it is so beautiful and is large enough to accommodate our large family. The surroundings are private and peaceful. You will definitely have a vacation to remember.
We stayed at this property over the Memorial Day weekend and it was perfect for my family. The master bedroom downstairs with large master bath was great for my parents who have trouble with stairs. The upstairs bedroom with bunk beds was a hit with my two boys. And there was a pack-n-play that came in very handy for naptime for my brother’s little infant. The large living and dining room had ample space for the whole family of 9 to spend time together. The kitchen was well appointed and we made good use of it for all our meals. The hot tub was ideal for a steamy soak after long hikes in the nearby big trees state park. This house is a gem.
Linda's place was a wonderful spot for us. Perfect accessability to Lake Alpine, Bear Valley, Arnold, Murphys, New Melones, etc. Lots of space, with large rooms, and would easily hold two families with kids, or 3-4 couples without kids. Couches and beds were very comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and utensils, and there were a ton of board games in the upstairs family room. Hot tub was a nice plus, and great after a long day of boating or swimming. Linda was very responsive, and kind enough to move our dates after accidents/injuries forced us to postpone our trip. Would happily stay here again!
