Moore Family Weekend

We brought our kids and their kids. We had an amazing time. The house was perfect for us. The hot tub was amazing. The game room was so fun! We had Pac-Man enthusiasts that were very happy. Rooms were great and beds comfy. Hosts were attentive. Side note, there was some white dog hair on love seat…not from our brown dog! No problem just wanted to let you know. Thanks for sharing your home!

Winter Wonderland

We knew we were vacationing during blizzard conditions. That being said, this house was perfect. Kept the kids and adults entertained equally. The owners were very responsive to us throughout the stay and checked on us to make sure we were doing okay. We would definitely stay here again!

Family reunion

We had a great time at our annual winter family reunion at the Knotty Pine! Paul was responsive and accommodating and his place was exactly what we were looking for. Our large group was able to spread out and enjoy the huge game room, hot tub, and large dining table for board games on snowy days. Easy to drive up the mountain to Bear Valley for skiing too. We will definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Whitney

Diana and I proudly host The Knotty Pine in the beautiful Sierra's. We are California natives from the SF Bay Area and Central Valley, currently living in Gilroy, and fortunate to have the opportunity to own our beautiful cabin. Our hope is for visiting guests to create wonderful lasting family memories from their vacations here.

Why they chose this property

From way back in the 70's, we have both been visiting the area, primarily Bear Valley ski area. The drive here, from childhood homes and current residence is SO much more bearable than the long trek to the Tahoe area. We chose the Camp Connell/Dorrington area because we absolutely love the snow! Many times, we have a beautiful snowfall on the ground while Arnold area is just wet. It was after owning our cabin that we realized summer activities locally are every bit as enjoyable as wintertime.
