Kirkwood, California
Our retreat has the atmosphere of a high elevation “refuge” in the Alps, with modern amenities and an original design, located right in the Kirkwood valley. Three alcove beds with beautiful views, a comfortable couch, a kitchenette, and a barbecue on the deck, all make for an easy transition into vacation mode. Previous visitors have loved the space and found sleeping in the cedar alcoves incredibly restful. Solar PV panels and tankless water heater lower the environmental cost of maintaining a cabin at 7800 ft.
The retreat is child safe and family friendly. It comes with a collection of children’s books, puzzles, board games and movies. While it has three double beds, size wise it is designed for families or groups of two to four people. During ski season, you can cross-country ski and snow shoe right off the deck or have the shuttle take you to downhill ski lifts a few minutes away. In the summer, simply hike out to the adjacent national forest or any of the surrounding lakes. It is a beautiful place to stay in a beautiful valley.

Bertrand was a gracious host. I rook my wife and daughter there to ride out a huge snow storm and it was absolutely the perfect place to be during a huge dump. The place was so cozy and comfortable. Its walking dostance to the lifts. We loved the alcove beds. It
Perfect place for a ski weekend in Kirkwood. The kitchen and small barbecue were great for cooking. The beds were fun and very comfortable with nice windows to watch the snow falling at night. Free shuttle to the hill was convenient. Host was friendly and helpful. Will absolutely stay here again.
This is a cozy place with a fun European vibe. Bertrand is a helpful host.
We were lucky to find this gem as a search for snow forced us into a last minute pivot to Kirkwood. The space was perfectly suited for our family of 5 (kids 6/8/10). We loved the sleeping alcoves and were treated to falling asleep one night watching snow come down outside. The owner was very accommodating and responsive to several questions that we had, and the shuttle service to the lifts was seamless and easy. I will definitely seek out this property again if/when we return to Kirkwood.
Although the place is small and practical, it is definitely not worth the price at all. We pay over 1000 dolara for two nights on this tiny little place we’re the heat was controlled the hot water as well. We were cold and I felt I was in a hostel where everything is controlled. I am paying to stay here and everything was so limited. Parking was not right outside and the owners blocked us exactly at the time we needed to leave. I felt so taken advantaged. Definitely NOT worth for the price I do not know who the owner thing he is to raise the price so much for what he offers.
Perfect studio for a family- had everything you need and host is lovely! The beds are fun- in little cubbies so kids loved it and they were comfortable. We would stay again
We loved staying here. It was so comfortable and the location convenience is unbeatable. We especially love the bookshelf with a wonderful selection to entertain our kids as well as games from our childhood. Would definitely return next time we are back for another ski vacation!
We lucked out and were able to book this property on relatively short notice. We loved the bed nooks and had plenty of space in the rest of the living area. Heat worked well, which was wonderful, given the cold. Communication with the owner and information found in the property was great. We'd definitely reserve this property again.
The accommodations were perfect for our family of four (including our two teenage daughters) while we skied. The place was cozy and clean. Bertrand was great at communicating, very friendly and helpful. Overall he was a great host. It snowed 55” in four days which made the skiing epic.
The room itself was perfect with lovely beds, nice views and enough essentials, however the towels provided were rough and stiff. Access to the room could be challenging for some. The 40 foot sloping dirt path to the apartment from the unloading area was fine for someone in good physical condition but a struggle for my 87 year old mum and my friend with a knee condition. We stayed 4 enjoyable nights, but that pathway was not fun!
Great location for access to Kirkwood. Has all the necessities to enjoy a long weekend, nothing extra.
