House was Perfect for our Family Thanksgiving!

This large home met every need we had during our five days during the Thanksgiving week. The kitchen was completely stocked with all we needed for numerous meals at home. The bedrooms and bathrooms easily accommodated all of our family members and their children. We had five adults, 2 young children and 1 baby and we all had plenty of shared space and privacy when needed. We appreciated the cut firewood and starter wood provided. The natural surroundings of the forest were beautiful and we were lucky enough to see some deer very close to the yard! We highly recommend for large groups and would stay here again!!

Definitely booking again!

The property was perfect for our family! The dogs had plenty of room to romp and we didn’t have to leave the house to do some sledding. Plenty of rooms and space. So many accommodating items. It was such a wonderful stay.

Great Place, Lots of Room

Nice place! We traveled up the highway to Beardsley Lake and Fraser Flat, but it was a little smoky from the distant wildfires. There is plenty of room on the property and good privacy. This would be a good place to bring kids.

Private large property in nature

Great large property, lots of space, and most amenities that you would need. This place is private, you do not feel close to neighbors. Nice backyard and patio area, the dog run was perfect. Fireplace was great as it started to get colder. 2 main issues that we ran into that resulted in just a slightly lower rating: 1) cleanliness was an issue, there were cobwebs in the shower, dust everywhere, patio was not clean, it just looked like they were not expecting anyone to stay and did not prepare the place for it (we went in the offseason) - as we pay for a cleaning fee, it was not great to go into the place in that state; 2) some things just didn't work, including the large bathtub (one of the reasons we chose that property in the pictures). Overall, we had a nice stay and would come back, but only after confirming with the owner that the place was properly prepped.

Perfect for our family!

We enjoyed our time so much we are thinking about doing a summer trip here. The home had everything you could possibly need and some. The location was close to everything. No need to haul up toys for the kids, there was plenty of them. Games for the adults too. Great place!

Great place for young kids!

We had an awesome experience staying here. The kids had a great time (we have twins that are three years old and a 5 year old). We drove to ski at Dodge Ridge, 30 minutes away, went sledding and played on the playground on the property. This is the perfect place to stay for a cheap family ski trip! Thanks again, Mike!

Family Getaway

We had a great time at your wonderful home! Kids spent the day at Pinecrest jumping from the giant rocks, husband went fishing at Lyons and all of us went to Beardsley. The kids and I spent one day horseback riding at Aspen meadows! We had a fun filled vacation and it was nice to come “home” to an air conditioned house and comfortable beds! Will definitely be returning!!

Beautiful Cabin

The house is very spacious. We hosted my sister and brother and they loved it too. I was able to relax in the large bathtub and my husband caught up on his R&R on the patio lounge chair. The kitchen has everything you need. We did our shopping in Twain Harte and BBQ’d on the deck, we even made s’mores. We would definitely return to this home.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Smith

This is my parents home,they are originally from San Francisco, growing up there and meeting at S.F. State. My Mom worked as an elementary school teacher and Dad worked as an electrician. Scout camping trips year round in the Sierras really warmed us to the area. My parents raised us family on the Peninsula, sent us kids to college, and are now enjoying retirement, and being new grandparents. We wanted to share this beautiful home with others so they might have wonderful weekend and vacation experiences that we were able to create for our family. In the winter you can ski at Dodge Ridge, in the Summer you can go to Pinecrest lake and play on the water. Hiking and camping opportunities galore.

Why they chose this property

Friends and Family live nearby in Twain Harte, and Pinecrest. It's a shorter drive than going to Tahoe from the Bay Area.

What makes this property unique

Snow in the winter, with it skiing, snowboarding, and being nice and snug by a warm fire. Summer has beautiful hikes and boating on nearby lakes. Fresh mountain pine air. It's lovely.
