This was a great property to stay at in Strawberry, CA. It was indeed walking distance to Leland Snowplay. There were many nice touch's that the host's left for us. The place was super clean and very well stocked and also a bonus was dog friendly. The hosts were super responsive to any questions we had before our trip and were very nice. It is definitely as the pictures show. If anyone is interested in a nice getaway whether for summer or winter, this is a great place to stay! Our family truly enjoyed it!

The condo was perfect for our family Christmas, we loved the small details, such as a beautiful Christmas tree, games, and movies. It’s a great place to unplug and connect as there isn’t any cable, cell service or internet. My only suggestion is if you plan meals, bring serving bowls and prep knives- that’s the only bathing the cabin is missing. If you’re looking for tranquility and relaxation, a place to connect with family and friends- this is it!

Spent two nights here in August before a backpacking trip. Everything was great, as described, the lock was a little tricky to get in - turn the key clockwise and push the door closed or jiggle it while you turn the key. We did not have time to check out the little lake unfortunately. The loft room is sweet! No AC but ceiling fans and stand fans mad it comfortable. Kitchen could use some sharp knives.

Great stay

Condo was very clean, good instructions, welcome sign inside with a bottle of wine was a nice touch! Host was very kind and prompt to respond to my questions before the stay. My only suggestion is the mattresses on the loft bed and the downstairs full bed were very uncomfortable and could probably stand to be replaced. The downstairs queen bed was fine

Snow weekend

My family and I stayed at this pinecrest retreat during our snow trip. It was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The stairs were interesting to navigate with a 2 year old toddler and two older grandparents, but it was doable. Heating consists of wall units and a fireplace. It was walking distance to Leland snowplay. No wifi was refreshing as it allowed us to unplug and spend quality time together. There were plenty of movies available for us to watch. The renters were very responsive and even helped us switch travel dates as there was a snow storm on our original travel dates. We are extremely grateful for their flexibility and hospitality. We created forever memories.

Great location and wonderful hosts

We really enjoyed our stay, the cabin was clean and had almost everything we needed (minus Wi Fi) but the condo was just a short walk to Leland Meadows play area. It was so much fun for our family and our pups.

Hidden Gem

This property is a hidden gem. Tucked away in a quiet community. There are plenty of things to do on the property. Tennis, pickle ball, ping pong, pool. There are paddle boards, paddle boat, canoe and floatie available at the water. I was worried about not having cable or wifi but it actually worked out great. Everyone unplugged and put their phones down. If you want to check out Pine Crest lake it is not far from the house.

Got Away and Reconnected

This was a nice get away to reconnect with nature and my family. It was nice having no cell service and have the chance to read or play board games without distractions. This property was picked because of its proximity to Pinecrest Lake, one of our favorite places to visit. It was so nice to be able to bring our dogs with us (Ripley loved playing with Tipsy!) Everything was clean and orderly. The private lake on site was perfect for introducing our 1 year old daughter to the water in a more intimate and safer setting than Pinecrest. The amenities were perfect for our family!

Nice location but needs updating

We traveled as a family with 3 children, ages 6 mos, a 3 1/2 year old and a 7 year old. Pros: property was clean and well stocked, nice deck with gas grill, washer/dryer, a short walk to the beach/lake access, beautiful scenery, paddle boards and pedal boats at the lake front for anyone to use, close to Pinecrest Cons: entire property is dated and could use updating, the screen doors were broken and kept falling off the track, downstairs window wouldn’t open properly, NO a/c (it was extremely hot at night and we had trouble sleeping, especially the baby), no fans other than a ceiling fan in the main living area and one in the loft. It would’ve been nice to have some portable fans in each room for extra air flow especially since there is no AC. The downstairs bed was very lumpy and uncomfortable. All of the bed pillows were pancake flat and should be replaced. I wouldn’t recommend for families with a crawler or new walker. There isn’t a ton of space for them to roam and several hazards (stairs going up the loft and stairs going down to the other bedrooms), elevated fireplace surround.
