Minutes from Pinecrest Lake, Dodge Ridge Ski Resort, and the fabulous Sierras.

Hi Linda, Thanks for taking the time to write your experience. I'm so sorry that it wasn't a better trip for you. For the benefit of future guests, I'll address your notes as best I can. The lighting, the sliding door and the bathroom are all slated for replacement this fall. The new lighting work will also better finish the upper edges of the Sheetrock on the main floor. I'm not sure what you mean about "a lot of electrical hanging throughout". There is one tied-off lead to the generator (near the hot tub) that's not in use, or live. We certainly wouldn't leave any safety hazards unattended. As for the "earthquake", that description sounds a little strong. Although we're constantly making small and large improvements to our little place in the mountains, we also do our best to set expectations for what it is. We believe that our solid history of 5-star reviews is based on accurately setting expectations - not competing with 5-star hotels. The hope is that our guests find it charming and comfortable, for a reasonable rate. With respect, Brit & Alan

Thanks for the thoughtful review Ricardo. The drawbacks you noted are things we're actively working on. We've talked to our housekeeper about leaving the appropriate amount of shower and beach towels. We've already purchased a new shower and will install it before winter 2024. We have a good pest control person, but every so often the ants do surge for a brief period. We are researching A/C options for upstairs, for the peak of summer. We hope to have it sorted out for summer 2025. We hope your next visit will earn a perfect 5 stars!
