NEW! Perfect family getaway for any time of year - Our beautiful, historic 1890's Victorian Farmhouse (5 bed/4 bath) features a swimming pool (not a winter option - open from mid-May to mid-September only!), fire pit (when allowed by county), a relaxing front porch and plenty of space to spread out. We normally operate as a Bed & Breakfast during winter, but with the COVID crisis we decided on whole home rentals to share our wonderful home. Lots of local activities and our home will accommodate up to 20 guests (with shared beds) making it the perfect getaway for your friends, family or both! We do see a bit of snow in the winter time, and our large yard is perfect for snow play. We can set up badminton in the front yard, bean bag toss, and help you plan the perfect family activities. We have wi-fi available (as well as excellent cell phone coverage), but we encourage you to disconnect and enjoy your surroundings. We have a large well stocked kitchen for your meals (we can also recommend a local caterer that delivers), a parlor, media room, study and dining area, along with 5 bedrooms (one bedroom is a suite that has 3 sleeping areas - we call it the Bunk House) and 4 baths. Each room has a TV and DVD player and we have an extensive DVD inventoried library. Our location is perfect for almost every outdoor adventure. Hiking, fishing (lakes and rivers), rafting, the PCT, boating, skiing & snowboarding, even rock climbing are all within 30 minutes of Alta. Some even start a morning hike right outside our front door. We are approximately one hour from the Reno or Sacramento Airports and 45 minutes from Truckee and a few minutes more to Lake Tahoe.

    Perfect for a family gathering. Lots for the teens to do and plenty of room for everyone. And I love the history of this large beautiful home.

    Easy check-in and check-out process. Everything works as listed. Nice to have 2 refrigerators because one quit working during our stay. Yes, freeway is close by with some noise. Swimming pool and backyard are great for family hangout.A few upstairs windows with no screen/barrier and low ledge - keep eyes on small children for safety. It would be nice if host provides pool towels - guests from out of State did not bring towels.Slight inconvenience as garbage dumpster not available on site - need to make arrangement with host to remove garbage every time.Host responded to request in a timely manner.

    Large, rustic, very comfortable space, we felt very much at home. As previous guests have commented the freeway noise was an issue for some of our guests, others had no problem. IF coming in the winter months I would suggest bringing extra blankets if you do not want to run the heating all night. Our host was very helpful and accommodating. We may have to come back in Summer months enjoy the swimming pool.

    Wish we had added a couple more days. This place has it all, so well equipped with everything you need and might want for playing together. Enough privacy with the many bedrooms, too. Pool shows not heated on the site but very comfortable temp. Host Jenn was great to work with

    entire family were able to come together for a 5 day get together. House was fantastic. No problems. All 16 of us had plenty of room. They had games for out on the lawn, and in the house in the evening.The kitchen table was large enough to fit all of us at once. Jenn was just a phone call away and extremely helpful. If the house is available we have already planned to go back next year

    This was the most beautiful get together our family has spend it a while. The property itself has a personality and history. It’s equipped with everything a large family could want: big spaces to spent time together for meals, tv nights, games, outdoor activities including a swimming pool, plus rooms and nooks to have alone time and relax for a nap. It’s close to hiking trails (which you have to drive to) and close the freeway which is the only drawback. But we didn’t mind that at all!

    We had a large family gathering to celebrate Grandma’s birthday. The home and grounds are perfect, comfortable and well stocked. Bring your own equipment if you have a baby. Good communication with Jenn and Jody and easy entry. The house was quiet even with all our crew. Lots of fun outdoor activities in the yard and scenic walks and bike rides nearby. Get your supplies before you get there…closest large grocery store over 10 minutes away.

    This was our second time staying at Crystal Springs. We were a friends group of 18 people, with the youngest being 8 yrs old. We had a fantastic time talking on the porch, swimming in the pool, playing ping pong and corn hole. There was ample space for all of us to relax and sleep. The upstairs kids room did get very hot, but we were able to adjust the portable A/C and fans to make it cooler. We arranged for a local caterer to make dinner for us every night which was a nice treat- they made delicious desserts too. Jenn was very responsive. Rollins lake wasn’t too far away and we rented boats one day. Excellent vacation home.
