Kirkwood, California
Chicken Feathers is pet friendly and farther from the crowds but close to all the fun!
If you are looking for more room for your family and dog to play but want to be able to hop on the shuttle to the slopes and be SUPER close to the Timber Creek Ski School than this is your abode.
Also, right out your back door is the Kirkwood Meadow. Ski and play with the family. Such a beautiful spot!
This duplex got it's name because the outside of the home has wood shingle siding that look like actual chicken feathers. What makes this home so special are a few things. First, the living room and kitchen is super open, perfect for entertaining the whole family on your ski trip. The living room has a very large sectional sofa perfect for games and card playing. There are windows all along this space that give way to gorgeous meadow and mountain views so you can experience the real Kirkwood.
Because the living room is on the second story, it means you are more likely to experience these views without them being blocked by snow mounds that can often accumulate on the first story up here. There is a TV with chromecast in this home, and there is WIFI so bring your iPads and Tablets! There are a few board games but bring your family favorites! Another special feature of this home is the detailed tile work in the bathrooms and kitchen that give this home a unique look. The kitchen is fully stocked for all of your cooking and entertaining needs. Two bedrooms are downstairs and one bedroom is upstairs. Both of the bedrooms have a king sized bed which is very rare in Kirkwood. There is also a large entry way to store your skis and boots.
There is parking for 2 cars across the street from this home and plenty of snow play areas for the kids. You can take a very short shuttle ride to the main lifts or put on your cross country skis and walk out to the miles of groomed Nordic trails. This duplex has something for everyone and is sure to please!

I visited this property with a group of friends and we really enjoyed our stay. The house itself had a lot of space and a beautiful view very close to the mountain. We had a little bit of trouble in trying to contact the property manager when we had a question but were eventually able to get an answer.
Our family enjoyed our stay at this property in Kirkwood. The spacious home offered every amenity and was comfortable and quiet. We especially enjoyed the picturesque views out the ample windows. Hiking right out the front door to Kirkwood meadow was another bonus.
Chickenfeathers is a charming vacation home set close to the main highway in the Kirkwood Meadows ski area. This was a plus for us since we were summer visitors and more interested in the activities in the surrounding area than in Kirkwood itself, so the ready access to the main highway was welcome. The home is great for children (my 4-year-old granddaughters had a ball) with a whole closet full of children's games, but the great room with ample seating made it great for entertaining adults as well. There were some minor cleanliness and maintenance issues (the dryer didn't heat, but the property management firm addressed it quickly) but the home was comfortable and features magnificent views of the cliffs above Kirkwood Meadows that fabulously catch the evening alpenglow. Wifi was good and allowed those of us who still needed to work the opportunity to do so. Overall it was a great base of operations for Silver Lake and the whole Carson Pass region.
Great spot for family in friends with quick access to Kirkwood! Would stay again.
We enjoyed this property which had plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably. It was clean, spacious and in a great location.
We shared the house with our family friends, total of 6 people. They location is PERFECT. The shuttle stops right in front of the house! And plenty of parking out front for 2 cars. Good set up in terms of bedrooms, open space (with GREAT mountain views) and separate heater controls in each room. Would stay here again! Thanks!
Great for small families
Lovely cabin, great location - has everything for food prep, location is away from the noise of the main area. Will book again!
We stayed during the big snow storm. A few things didnt work like heat in the bedroom, dryer and disposal. They came pretty quickly and fixed what they could. People on the phone were not very courteous and no one picked up the phones, but that could be storm related. Location is great.
Love it
