The property and host both exceeded our expectations. Our host communicated promptly (and friendly!) during the entire process from booking to departure The location of the property is excellent. The home is easy to find off the highway and far enough from the highway that you really felt nestled in the woods. There are other homes nearby but you hardly know it once in the home as all you can see out the windows are big beautiful trees. It felt very private. The home is an easy drive to everything. We drove a few minutes away to Big Trees National Park which is breathtaking. A short distance up the mountain is the ski/snowboard resort, sledding/inner-tubing and cross country skiing. We brought sleds up the mountain and pulled over on the side of the road and found a great place to sled. A short drive gets you to a cute town with groceries and places to eat. We have spent time in the area in the summer and it's just as fun with lakes and hiking all around.
The house has everything you could need, comfortable beds with ample bedding, kitchen loaded with everything you need, and lots of activities including the pool table and foosball table. There was plenty of space for everyone in our group of 8 people ranging in ages from 5 to 72. There is a nice lounge loft for the teenager, activities in the game room for the adults and lots of space for the little kids to spread out their toys and games. We would be happy to return. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
