Great Cottage

My wife and I with our two kids needed a quick getaway and this was just perfect. It's a newer, well-appointed cottage, next to a larger main house. The creek is 20 yards off the back door. It's really a great place to stay while exploring Alpine County.

Comfortable Mountain Cottage

Great location for the Death Ride to ride to/from the start/finish. It was great to have a comfortable cottage to stay in before and after such a long ride. This is probably one of the most well equipped cottage I’ve ever stayed in. Although the home doesn’t have AC, it was a non issue with the cool breeze & multiple fans provided by the owner. Mike was great and responsive with his communication. I would definitely stay here again!!

Lovely stay!

My husband and I had a lovely time at this cute cottage right outside of Markleeville! Nestled in a small valley, we loved hearing the river while we slept! It was clean and well appointed, and despite having no oven, between the hotplates the toaster oven, and the BBQ the owner loaned us for the weekend we were able to cook with no issues (it was a little dark in the kitchen, but a headlamp solved that.) We watched the multitude of stars and enjoyed the fire pit. We even had some bear sightings, as they evidently loved the chokeberries nearby. It was a fabulous jumping off point to our unforgettable hike to Winnemucca Lake, with lots of wildflowers still in bloom and waterfalls and streams still gushing. The high elevation was the only thing we had to adjust to. Highly recommend this rental, as it was hard to leave and among so much beauty. Yosemite was calling, but we hope to be back! Thanks so much, Mike!

Tucked Away Treasure

This property is all and more than is described. It was a delight to sit on any side of the cottage and enjoy the sublime views. The owners are taking great care of the natural landscape. The cottage kitchen amenities were clean and classy and the linens and towels were luxurious. We hope to make this a regular trip.

BREATHTAKING PERFECTION !!!

This property and our host, Mike, made our stay at this stunning retreat an amazing and memorable experience. Our visit coincided with historic snowfall in the Sierras, literally hundreds of thousands of tons of snow shut down highways, cut power, caused avalanches, etc. but we arrived to a freshly plowed road and driveway with even a hand-shoveled pathway to the front door through 4 foot deep blasting snow. And that was just the beginning. Our host, Mike, texted us to see that we'd arrived safely and texted again in a couple days to see if all our needs were met. They certainly were !! Every aspect of this immensely appealing little lodge is perfect. It's very clean, which to me is important and the linens and towels are far better quality than those in many hotels. The downstairs master bedroom is perfect yet the upstairs is nicely appointed as well, and can accommodate a family comfortably. The decor is current and the property doesn't show much age, especially considering the winter conditions. Both Wifi and satellite TV worked very well for us, despite the historic stormy weather. Cell coverage is spotty but our InReach satellite device worked perfectly. Unfortunately we were unable to see the creek during our stay (it was buried in the snow) but we fell asleep to its soothing sound at night and spoke about how splendid this private little treasure of a place is. The surrounding near-vertical mountains afford soaring views of boulders and pines... a photographer's dream. Aspens sprinkled around the property lend another opportunity for terrific photos or to simply enjoy their part of the endless breathtaking views. Our night vision viewing and photographing equipment worked wonderfully with low ambient lighting surrounding us. At any time of the year this home is a treasure not to be missed. Thank you to our host, Mike, for everything. And a special thank you (and kudos) to Derrick, the smiling snowplow hero of the neighborhood who cheerfully cleared our driveway daily !! With Sincere Thanks and Warm Regards... Cat and Matt

This was an exceptional experience. I felt like I was staying in the mountain cottage of a good friend who wanted to make sure that my family was comfortable. Pictures can’t really show all of the attention to detail, the warm fire place, and the well stocked kitchen, clean bathroom and shower, etc. My last visit to the area I stayed 3 days at the Edgewood resort. For the purpose of relaxing and enjoying life in the Sierras this is a far better option. It would also make for a great romantic getaway. If arriving In the evening in the snow it would be good to arrive with food as this is located in a quieter area without the commercial traffic.

Great place to get away from it all!

This was perfect for our family stay. We spent an entire morning roaming around the river bed behind the cottage, and were thrilled to find so many games in the loft. There’s a hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, and crock pot to satisfy most light cooking needs. The fireplace heater was more than adequate to keep the house warm during nights in the 40s.
