    We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, secluded cabin in the mountains. Everything is well-appointed with a fully stocked kitchen, and lots of games, books and DVDs to keep everyone busy. This was a great spot for our family, traveling with kids and grandparents. The upstairs loft gives the kids some space away and it’s a quick drive to the lake and other outdoor activities. We are so grateful to be able to stay at this cabin again and hope to return next year!

    My friend and I stayed at the home for our annual fishing trip. We have been coming up for many years and were looking for a new place to reside that was comfortable and near lakes and streams. This was a great find! It was very clean and had all the amenities we were looking for. Susan is a great host and were looking forward to returning next year.

    We only had an opportunity to stay a few nights, but it was well worth it. This beautiful home is in a great location with breathtaking views. We made multiple trips to Twain Harte and Pinecrest to enjoy a game of golf, kayak, and hike around the lake. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to make a home-cooked meal. Also, the linens and bedding were of high quality. The air conditioning and fans were helpful to keep the cabin cool since the upstairs gets pretty warm. We’ve stayed at a few cabins in the area and this one was by far the best. Highly recommend!

    This was our second trip to this gorgeous cabin on a quiet street. Perfect stay for our family with ample indoor and outdoor space. The cabin is well-maintained and updated with lots of games and movies to keep everyone busy. Perfect spot to enjoy the lake and hiking in the area.

    We booked this VRBO because it promised a view (accurate photo on the VRBO site). This renovated vacation home with an extensive porch is well laid out and well-stocked with kitchen/barbecuing equipment, games, and CD's for evenings -- and, and in a location near to mountain attractions which can be enjoyed by families (notably Pinecrest), and by couples, old and young. As nature lovers, we visited riverside campgrounds nearby for picnics and hikes, as well as taking a scenic drive up and over historic Sonora Pass. One morning we watched a deer and her yearling fawns walk through the property.

    Loved looking out at just forest. We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the fire pit, bbq and views. It is a homey, welcoming retreat.

    We had such a wonderful stay! The cabin is in a great location with breathtaking views. It’s at the end of a quiet street, where my 4 year old enjoyed riding his bike safely. Location is also close to the lake, gas, market, restaurant. The cabin itself is so well-maintained and welcoming. The hosts were responsive to our questions. Three rooms were perfect for our group. The air conditioning and fans were helpful to keep the cabin cool for the summer heat. We’ve stayed at a few cabins in the area and this one was by far the best. We’re planning to return!

    Everything I could have hoped for and more. Great place to enjoy great views and time with family. Super clean and so many onsite amenities. Crisp fall air for enjoying morning coffee on the deck and s’mores around the fire pit. My grandson loved the loft!!! Will definitely book again.

    We've stayed at numerous houses in this subdivision in the past, and this is definitely our favorite. I don't want to stay anywhere else in the future. The views from the deck are fantastic. Being at the end of a cul-de-sac, the house is very private and quiet. Everything about the house is comfortable, including the living room setup and the bed. The AC mini-split kept us cool at the tail end of a massive heat wave and warm (along with the Jotul stove) during the late summer rain storm just days later. One warning: there are 20+ steps to get from the driveway into the house. It wasn't a problem for us, but if you or anyone in your party has mobility issues or difficulty with steps (such as knee replacement), this may be an issue. Susan is great to work with and was very helpful with weather-related suggestions during our stay. Our best visit to Pinecrest yet!
