This is the second year in a row we've stayed at the Calpine Mountain Retreat, and we hope to be back next year as well. The house is perfect for our family of five with all of the creature comforts of home – high speed internet, a modern kitchen, cozy furnishings, deck with gas grill, and lots of games for the kids.
We have family in the area so the cabin has been a perfect home base while we spend time in Graeagle or Salmon Lake, or visiting Sierraville or Truckee. In addition to providing a wonderful home, Mark is a fantastic and responsive host. We're already looking forward to next year!
The house and amenities exceeded our expectations 😁👏 ! The property is well maintained. We were 2 couples and a father & son (recovering from a car accident).
The rooms were comfortable and spaced out so we had some privacy. Plenty of space for the wheelchair to maneuver. Since all of us but the son was over 60, we really appreciated it being a single story. The house size was perfect; we didn't feel crowded at all.
It was a joy to spend time in the kitchen cooking for 8 or 9 people each evening (a few friends over for dinner). The kitchen was outfitted very well and was large. All the tools we needed to cook, grill, bake were available. And there is a fridge in the garage for extra food and drinks.
The deck was a great spot in the morning for coffee, solitude, and nature, as well as an evening bbq. The guys found the cornhole game and spent several hours in fun competition. We did have a dog in the party so the fenced yard was a blessing.
We were there for a weekend golf tournament. There are at least 4 great golf courses within 30 minutes of the house. Easy drive to some beautiful hikes and lakes too.
We're hoping they have golf tournaments up there more often so we can stay at this beautiful house.
Such a relaxing stay. So much better than most VRBO/AirBnB experiences we've had.
Thanks Mark D!
Note: Verizon cell service works but AT&T was spotty at best. But the house wifi works well.
My husband and I travel for fun and have stayed in many vacation rental homes all over. With that said I have NEVER stayed in a vacation rental like this one! This house was immaculate!!!! From the yard, manicured perfectly, kitchen has high end dishes, silverware and anything you would need to cook or bake. Yard games in the garage to enjoy. I was so impressed!! The bathrooms also had items you may have forgotten. I highly recommend staying at this vacation home.
