We really enjoyed our stay at this chalet. We wish we could have stayed longer! We had 2 families sharing the home (it ended up being 5 adults and 2 kids) and there was plenty of room for us between the inside space and outside deck. The loft had a bathroom, which was very convenient, and a portable AC (the only "AC"). There were really nice tower fans in each bedroom and one near the sliding glass door in the dining room. The ceiling fan in the family room was great for moving air around as well. There were a lot of games, toys, and books in the loft space which kept the kids entertained when we weren't exploring. The house was equipped with a lot of extras that we don't usually find in rentals (sandwich bags, foil, spices, hair gel) and we appreciated it! We enjoyed the hot tub, fire table, outside seating, swing, and hammock. It was very peaceful! We went to Murphys Community Park and enjoyed getting into the creek that runs through the park (bring swimsuits and inner tubes to float down). We enjoyed White Pines Lake where we paddle-boarded and enjoyed the beautiful views. We went to Calaveras Big Trees State Park (10 per vehicle) and enjoyed some hiking. We were thankful for the passes to Big Tree Village Rec Center where we went swimming. The hours can be tricky and they closed at 5:30 pm the day we were there. You can check the website for information.We hope we can get back to the area to explore some more!
