Fantastic cabin, small but cozy

It's just my wife and me, this cabin is perfect. The living room is quite large, kitchen is fine. Very short walk to common dock, where we would hang out with wine/cheese/bread while watching the sun set over the mountains.

Wonderful place to stay!

Check in process was super easy and the place was very cozy and clean! The host provided plenty of amenities and items for guests to use as needed and had clearly labeled everything with easy to follow instructions. They were also very easy and quick to communicate with! My only complaint is the kitchen felt very basic and could use a little upgrade in terms of what is provided for use

Charming Cabin with Lots of Special Touches

The cabin was very comfortable with lots of very thoughtful touches. We felt very much like guests in a very nice guest home instead of a customer in a hotel. The vaulted ceilings makes the space feel much larger than what the square footage shows. The hosts/owners are great.

Great stay

We had a lovely stay. The location was unbeatable. Jim was kind and helpful . Paddling on the lake was a must. The cabin is much cuter than pictured. Cozy, wooden inside. Good lighting. Tiny Christmas/4th of July tree in the corner, fire burning stove, interesting knick knacks all added to the charm. Comfortable and perfect for our weekend getaway. Thank you Jim.

Great find. Had a wonderful experience. The property owner was friendly and transparent. A couple of recommendations would be to get blinds/curtains on the living room and kitchen windows. And a larger refrigerator and stove. Overall, this place was great and I would recommend.

Ideal location on Fallen Leaf Lake

This is a beautiful property just across the street from Fallen Leaf Lake. It is a small cabin with all the necessary amenities such as hot shower, microwave, oven, refrigerator, kitchenware and fans for every room. WiFi is a little weak but adequate. There are several mature trees on the property and a nice hammock. It’s down the street from the local marina where you can rent kayaks to explore the lake. The Glen Alpine trailhead is also down the street, which is a gateway to the spectacular Desolation Wilderness. I personally recommend the hike to Susie Lake. Our family (2 adults and 2 kids 6 & 10 yrs old) spent 7 nights here and we had plenty to do (hiking, road biking, kayaking and swimming). Highly recommended.

Crowded

Access to the lake is a hike and down a steep bank to a small dock - no beach. Owner was camped in front yard. On site were his camper and two trucks. The front deck is unstable and few windows open for heat relief on the inside. The TV is CD only and there is minimal kitchen equipment. We left after the first night of a five night stay. Owner refused refund of any kind.

Great little gem

The property was just as describe in the listing. We had an issue while there and the owner came up and handled it the best we could have expected. He responded quickly when I contacted him initially as well. My girls loved the kayaks and swimming in fallen leaf lake. It was great to have a place away from the crowds to enjoy. We are looking forward to going back and trying out some of the water toys we didn’t get to. We arrived at night and were able to find the place in the dark as it was marked well. There are also a number of hikes very close to the cabin that are not too popular and beautiful. My kids stayed on the couches and said they were comfortable. If you have a clear night make a point of heading down to the dock to look at the stars, gorgeous! There are so many fewer lights here than even in town, so it is spectacular.
