Review on the Cabin:
Pros:
1. Was close to the sno park close to Bear Valley and Big Trees National Park where we hiked.
2. The deck and backyard was vast that the kids were able to be at close range while they played outside (would have been much better if there was snow)
3. Enough rooms and bathrooms for our group.
4. New and updated kitchen appliances.
5. Early check-in time and late check- out..and easy check in/out.
Cons:
1. Sheets in 2 bedrooms (especially the middle with a bathroom) had unexplained stains and dirt on the sheets and comforter but there's a laundry area where you can just rewash the sheets.
2. Keep away from the pool table altogether..legs will come off. Keep eyes on kids.
3. Bring your own dish sponge and soap, dishwasher pods, extra garbage bags and paper towels.
4. Hot water heating was a problem. The water heater in shower by the kitchen works just great, but the rest of the house we needed space out shower times or one shower at a time.
5. Some fixtures in the house was also falling apart like the curtain rod in the kids bedroom and the foosball table.
Had a great time here with my family for Christmas. This cabin had everything we needed. The cabin needs a little TLC but in all it was perfect for our holiday family reunion. Will definitely be back!

This is our 3rd or 4th time staying here. It's a great cabin if you're looking for lots of rooms and bathrooms, a nice open deck right up against some gorgeous cedar trees, a very casual vibe, and a great overall setting. It's set pretty far from other cabins and yet is really easy to get to with plenty of parking and easy access to highway 4. The owners communicate well and respond to texts. It's not fancy, but it is a very comfortable place with a lot of character, and a great place to hang out with friends or family.

Sorry to leave this honest comment but the house/cabin was not so good. Most of the bedrooms and bathrooms were falling apart, almost all of the sinks in the bathrooms were clogged and filthy with barely any water pressure throughout the bathrooms. The house was littered with huge ants and spiders. There was a strong odor throughout the entire house. The only place our group really enjoyed was the patio.
Recommendations to the owners, please include updated pictures of the entire house and be honest about the condition of the entire property. We had to leave 1 day early because of the poor condition of the house.
Hi Zamary, we’re sorry to hear your stay did not meet expectations, as we aim to provide a positive experience for all our guests. After reviewing your feedback, we followed up with the homeowner, who shared the following:
-We’re not currently aware of any issues in the bedrooms or bathrooms but will look into this further. Since the listing photos were taken, the home has been updated, including a partial kitchen renovation and two remodeled bathrooms.
-The water pressure at the property may be lower than what some guests are used to, as the home operates on a well water system. This is typical for homes in the area and is functioning as intended.
-Regarding the insect concerns, it’s possible that a combination of elevated seasonal activity and the two-week gap between guest stays contributed to the issue. Our pest control provider has been informed and has adjusted the monthly service accordingly.
-Our cleaning team services the home regularly, but they’ve been notified of the odor you mentioned so we can investigate further. We remain committed to maintaining and enhancing the property, as we have done over the past twenty years.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay!
My family and I loved our stay at this property so much that we are already planning to book it once again.
We can’t wait to spend another unforgettable weekend.
Keep up the good work and we’ll be back soon.
