Lodgepole Pine House

This is an amazing find! So amazingly designed and aesthetically beautiful, it also invites the natural surroundings in decor and in the natural history library we so enjoyed. The host was so helpful and accommodating, and the kitchen definitely well stocked. We loved every second enjoying the High Sierras from this wonderful home.

Family friendly stay

We had a wonderful stay with one family in the bottom floor rooms and our family (with two infants) in the top floor. The kitchen was perfectly equipped for cooking family meals and the homeowners lake was easily accessible for the kids to play. Thank you Anne for sharing your gorgeous home with us!

Great modern house with everything you would need. We just came back from a winter snow trip here and the location is great! Looking forward to staying here in the summer time. Anne (Host) was great with regards to answering all of our questions.
