A Gathering Place for Families and Friends

The pictures do not do justice. More beautiful in person. All of our family walked in and were absolutely amazed. The kitchen is a dream. When you have 21 people there are a lot of dishes. We had those dishwashers running all the time. The bedrooms were furnished The host Makeli went way beyond to help make this a memorable experience for us. My wife and I celebrated our 40th anniversary with our children/spouses and grandchildren. He made sure we had enough chairs to have a simple ceremony out in the amphitheater, which was a perfect location. Our photographer had so many locations to use on the property and in the house. On our way to the house from LA area we got aessage the chef had a family emergency and she was not going to make it. I asked Makeli if he knew anyone. He posted our dilemma on some networks to see if someone was available. This just shows the high caliber host Makeli is. We all want to go back. We had a wonderful time. All 21 of us.

Outstanding home with unique, beautiful architecture in a spectacular setting. Great features and facilities met the needs of our group of almost 40. Accommodating, considerate, helpful, and extremely responsive host. Multiple refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, and microwaves made meal.preparation pleasant. Lots of seating capacity and appealing game room. Ample, secure parking.

We had a great time at the cabin. Lots of room and fun things to do.

This house was perfect for our Christmas gathering. Plenty of space for cooking, eating, gathering and entertainment. Everyone enjoyed their stay. If possible we would love to be back next year!

We had a great time and the facilities were perfect for accommodating everyone in our group. The owner was super responsive and we enjoyed the setting and amenities. Highly recommend.

This was our second time renting the property. All in all we had a great time and would likely rent it again. There were 30 of us and everyone was accommodated comfortably. There was plenty of room for eating meals for our large group. Kitchen appliances and accessories met all our needs, as did the large gas grill on the lower patio. We loved the grassy area for games and activities, and the huge decks were perfect for games and relaxation ( very nice view of the valley). The host, Makeli, was excellent to work with. We had one check in issue and one building mechanical issue that he worked quickly to resolve with very positive outcome. The Story Tellers Lodge is a fine facility. Thank you Makeli.

The home, property, and area were absolutely perfect for our family reunion. 18 of us, ages 1-93, had enough space indoors and out to not feel we had to venture anywhere outside the premises. The boys did go fishing a few times at the nearby reservoir, we took short walks, and set up yard games which we all could enjoy. Communication with the owner was easy and respectful. We always pack so many extras, but this property really had most of what we needed; sharp knives, large pots and pans, and trash bags. A fabulous choice and beautiful location for family photos as well. Lastly, the home was very clean, the well water was tasty, and there were 2 large refrigerators and 1 drink fridge.. we couldn’t have asked for more!

Great time

We have a large family and were thrilled to find this location to host a reunion. The weather was pleasant for July and the rooms were ideal for our group. We had all age groups represented. We had young families with babies able to stay upstairs, a main floor room for grandma and grandpa and teens hanging out in the basement with plenty to occupy them. We had organized activities on the lawn and plenty of space in the kitchen and on the deck to spread out during mealtime. The kitchen was well equipped and the great room perfect for visiting. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to be able to return again next year!

Very well kept and stocked and perfect for family. We loved our stay. The host was very accommodating and awesome to work with!!

Roomy, well furnished with entertainment and games, and the kitchen had all necessary amenities. Large enough outside areas for frisbee and night games. We did some hiking along the River Parkway. well worth the visit. Loved the Pine Valley Ward on Sunday.
