Knotty Pine Old Time Cabin - Family built in 1955 - Central Heat - Lg Deck - A/C

Enjoy your mountain stay at our family cabin that my father & grandfather built in the 1950’s. The Red Cabin with all knotty pine walls & ceilings, has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, & large decks in the middle of mature pine trees. It is a true “cabin” that gives a real cabin experience. We hope it will feel like your home away from home, like it has to our family for almost 70 years.

There are stairs leading to the main level access doors. The Red Cabin is 16 miles from Pinecrest Lake, 19 miles to Dodge Ridge Ski/Mountain Biking Resort, and 9 miles to Black Oak Casino. Yosemite, Lake Don Pedro, and Lake Tulloch are also great day trips.
