The snow is finally melting on Lake Alpine. 30 minutes down the mountain our large deck overlooks a year round creek. Recently remodeled, cozy bedrooms and a large, sunny great room for cooking, dining, reading, watching movies or just chilling with a cup of coffee. Foosball upstairs! Sleeps 11 so great for large families. Away from it all feel yet close to the Stanislaus, Big Trees Park, Murphys wine tasting and Bear Valley Ski Resort. Starlink Internet—Xfinity/Comcast outage-proof.

Kids love playing in the shallow creek, skipping stones, and looking for fish and having the top floor to themselves while adults enjoy the 2nd floor living-dining-kitchenTV room. In warm weather, nothing beats listening to the creek in a hammock with filtered forest light reflecting off the water. The mostly flat driveway provides easy access in winter. One portable AC unit in the living-dining room.

Except for two locked utility-equipment rooms, the entire place is yours to call home.

If you have special needs, don't be shy . . . reach out via the AirBnB messaging program or call.

To avoid attracting mice, please remove food upon departure, and from countertops during your stay. Separated garbage and recycling should be placed in the bear proof box by the front door.

If you have excess garbage and recycling, please leave $5 in cash per bag and notify us before you depart so we can alert the removal service to remove it ASAP...so it doesn't attract rodents. If you lack cash, please use AirBnB's "send or request money" function.

Unless departing on Wednesday or Thursday when the dump is closed, you can avoid the garbage removal fee by taking it to Avery Transfer Station, 1 minute off Hwy 4, 4541 Seagale Road, (Moran/Seagale), Avery, CA 95224.

Access to the creek requires climbing at your own risk. On premises snow play requires adult supervision at all times, also at your own risk. Please don't leave cigarette butts or other trash on the property and especially not in the creek.

PET FEE

We're dog lovers so welcome your pooches. Some breeds don't shed but most do so instead of an arbitrary pet fee imposed on everyone, we leave it to the housecleaners to tell us if there was extra work due to dog hair. After your booking confirms, we'll send a request for $30 per dog. If the cleaners report doing extra work removing dog hair, we keep the fee and pass it on to the cleaners. If none, we refund the fee.
