Great location, space, and amenities!
This home is conveniently located so we could quickly get to Bear Valley ski resort without having to battle the snow. The home is large and provides lots of room. Our teenagers had their own living area, which was fantastic. We even got to watch the Superbowl while soaking in the hot tub! Host responds quickly to inquiries; we had no problems and would definitely stay here again.

Great, family and dog friendly experience- will come back!
We loved our stay- such a fun house. The owners really set you up for success with a well stocked kitchen- tons of spices, even a bit of butter in the fridge! The kids enjoyed all the games and ping pong. Our dog loved exploring the outdoors and chasing chipmunks. We went to Lake Alpine our first day which was so picturesque and not crowded at all. It was a perfect day of swimming SUP-ing and there was even live music at the Alpine lodge. The next day we fell in love with the Rec Center- Inner Tube Water Polo was my most joyful discovery of the summer! We would love to be able to come back next summer.

Beautiful Mountain Home
The home is clean and well equipped. The kitchen was perfect for our family, who love to cook. There were games, both indoor and outdoor, that were enjoyed by all. The listing said sleeping for 10; there were 7 of us and it slept 6 comfortably. There are bunk beds in one room that we did not feel were sturdy enough for two children; one of the sofa beds was uncomfortable. One bedroom was too hot to use. There was a window mount air conditioner in the family room but it could not cool all of the bedrooms, in spite of our best efforts. There were two small fans to circulate air, but only one was working. There was plenty of space for sleeping bags, which we brought for the kids. Please note we were there during the heat wave; it would not have been an issue had it not been hot. The location is perfect - between Calaveras Big Trees and Lake Alpine, and easy to get everywhere. The kids loved the HOA pool and activity center, which we have used in the past. However there was not a house guide giving instructions or directions to anything. Some of the amenities were not used because we didn't know how to operate them. Trash needs to be brought out to a nearby collection site, but there were no directions as to how to get there. Prior to check in, the owners were responsive and pleasant. We chose not to contact them while we were there regarding these issues as it is, overall, a beautiful home in a perfect location. We would definitely return.

Amazing vacation home near big trees state park
We stayed at this property over the Memorial Day weekend and it was perfect for my family. The master bedroom downstairs with large master bath was great for my parents who have trouble with stairs. The upstairs bedroom with bunk beds was a hit with my two boys. And there was a pack-n-play that came in very handy for naptime for my brother’s little infant. The large living and dining room had ample space for the whole family of 9 to spend time together. The kitchen was well appointed and we made good use of it for all our meals. The hot tub was ideal for a steamy soak after long hikes in the nearby big trees state park. This house is a gem.

Family fun
We spent about a week at Linda's beautiful home. It was spacious and clean with plenty of space for our family to spread out and enjoy our vacation. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked great meals every day. The kids always had something to do and loved the upstairs area. We had two days of snow and enjoyed sitting on the back deck while the kids and dogs played. The neighborhood is wonderful and really quiet. Linda was super responsive and quick to check in on us as the snow came down about when the snow plow would come through. We had a wonderful vacation at Linda's cabin and hope to stay there again in the future.

Wonderful family stay near the snow
This is a second time we stayed at the property and it is perfectly located to be close to snow with kids without having to chain up every time. The development get ploughed well but you can catch times in the morning when you can sled in driveways. We go to bear valley for cross country ski and this is a perfect spot. House is well appointed and feels homey, not like a blank rental

Fantastic multi-family cabin close to Bear Valley
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! Fantastic, well-appointed space for two families with 5 kids ages 1-8 years old. It was incredibly clean! There was ample space to hang out and enjoy. The bedrooms offered more than enough space and were very comfortable for all of us (4 adults and the 5 kids). The kitchen is very well stocked with cooking utensils and equipment. The cabin also had a bunch of board games and sleds. We were a great distance away from Bear Valley and were able to hit the slopes early from this location. Wouldn’t change a thing about this place! The hosts were very responsive and friendly! The neighborhood is on a bit of an incline to get into, so chains or winter tires +4WD recommended if it’s heavily snowing/icy. The driveway is plowed which is great though! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Peaceful Retreat
Linda's place was a wonderful spot for us. Perfect accessability to Lake Alpine, Bear Valley, Arnold, Murphys, New Melones, etc. Lots of space, with large rooms, and would easily hold two families with kids, or 3-4 couples without kids. Couches and beds were very comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and utensils, and there were a ton of board games in the upstairs family room. Hot tub was a nice plus, and great after a long day of boating or swimming. Linda was very responsive, and kind enough to move our dates after accidents/injuries forced us to postpone our trip. Would happily stay here again!

Wonderful vacation getaway
This is a beautiful mountain home located in a very quiet and relaxing community. The house is very well designed with large spaces that allowed us plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked with quality cookware, spices, glassware, and almost every appliance you could want. The deck is spacious and a great place to just hang out. The host was very responsive and it was clear that they have taken care of every detail. We had a few really hot days where the upstairs bedrooms were toasty at night, but ceiling and floor fans got us through. There is only AC in the upstairs den. Overall, a wonderful spot and definitely would return for another visit.
