Molly's Treehouse by Hauserman Rentals

// This home is a short term rental and ski lease \\

**DOGS CONSIDERED**

Molly’s Treehouse is a warm, welcoming retreat that’s ideal for two families or a group of friends—the kind of place that feels like home the moment you step inside.

Downstairs, the comfortable living room invites you to unwind with a plush leather couch and loveseat, a cozy gas fireplace, a game table, and a large HD TV—perfect after a day at the beach or on the slopes. Just off the well-equipped kitchen, the dining nook offers plenty of space for everyone to gather for meals, games, and conversation. You’ll also find laundry and a convenient half bath on this level.

Upstairs, four fun, themed bedrooms give everyone their own space to spread out:
Surf’s Up Room: A Queen bed plus a sofa, and it opens into a den with another sofa, TV, and an oversized bean bag chair—great for kids or a second hangout area.
Birdie Room: A golf-themed favorite with a Queen bed, Twin bunk beds, TV, and a walk-in closet.
Area 51 Room: Features bunk beds (Double on bottom / Twin on top), built-in desk space, and a crib.
Primary Suite (Bogie / Maltese Falcon Room): A spacious California King suite with its own sofa and TV, plus a large en-suite bathroom with dual sinks and a generous shower/tub combo.

The full hallway bathroom is shared by the Surf’s Up, Birdie, and Area 51 rooms.

Bringing your dog along? Molly’s Treehouse welcomes canine companions, making it a true home-away-from-home for the whole crew.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay. The house has a wonderful deck where we spent most of our time. Also, having 2 refrigerators ended up being a necessity we didn't realize we needed. Both times I called management (not for complaints but for suggestions), they were VERY helpful and friendly.

Spacious child centric home

Molly’s Treehouse is in a quiet neighborhood with driveway parking for our 4 cars. It has comfortable beds including 2 sets of bunks, 2 kings and a queen. It’s suitable for multiple families. The big kitchen table accommodates everyone with banquette seating. We also used the welcoming deck for a family bar-b-que. Its a nice bar-b-que and the deck has benches plus 2 available folding tables. We were forced indoors due to hazardous air from the Caldor Fire but the generous number of games and movies kept us entertained with happy kids.
