Magic
This is my second time staying at this home and it won’t be our last. The house is immaculate, the location is so beautiful and peaceful and the hosts are the nicest ever! I asked about a floor fan for the sake of white noise and they made sure there was one there when we arrived! They’re flexible and gracious and I can’t wait for trip #3! If you’re thinking about this place, you won’t regret choosing it

This beautiful cottage is very comfortable and cozy. The beds are also comfy, linens are great. It is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need for a week or a months stay! It is squeaky clean, dishes are beautiful and the views are amazing❤️. I am making another reservation for next week to bring my husband …just to relax and unwind💙. The wood work inside is gorgeous and…an old fashioned-but new-bathtub…so luxurious! Lights are all labeled so there is no guessing!! This place is pure heaven!!

A literal dream
This place is as peaceful as it gets. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s the cleanest vacation rental I’ve ever stayed at. The home feels very cozy and inviting with every single thing you could need/want. The location is very easy to get to but you feel in the middle of nowhere in the best way. To make it even better, the owners are the sweetest and most accommodating hosts I’ve ever worked with. Communication was wonderful and they were so friendly and warm themselves. I will be back very soon and if you’re even debating this home, you won’t regret it!

Excellent & Refreshing Cottage
Beautiful, cozy, and very well cared for property, inside and out. Rick and Chris made the cottage very warm and welcoming, giving attention and thought to every detail. My wife and I had a relaxing and refreshing time during our stay. The surrounding area of Meadow Vista, and the whole Sierra foothills, are an idyllic setting. We hope to return for another stay in the future!

Amazing place.
This place was far better than expected. It is immaculate (unbelievably clean) and peaceful. Bedrooms have a beautiful view of the trees. Everything is high quality, and you will find attention to detail where you least expect it, I could write a list. The best of all are the hosts. They are friendly and always looking for the best for you. We had a great time here.

Everything you could want in a cabin
The cabin was immaculately clean and well-appointed. It was comfortable and had everything I could have wanted. I would definitely go back next time I am in the area.
