Highly Recommend
We had a fantastic stay at this charming A-frame cabin over the long MLK weekend. The location was perfect, with great proximity to Bear Valley for skiing and outdoor adventures. The cabin itself was quaint, rustic, and well-equipped, offering everything we needed for a cozy getaway. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials, and we especially appreciated the thoughtful extras, like a saucer and snow play items for the kids. There was even a great selection of books, which made for some lovely downtime by the fire. This place truly had something for everyone in the family. Highly recommend!

Nice and clean with a great loft for kids!
We had a great weekend ski trip facilitated by this house. It was very nice and clean, well equipped and the kids loved the loft upstairs. It was our family of four but next time we would have a second family join us and have all the kiddos stay in the loft.

2008 Tv needs to be replaced.
We have stayed in the area before and enjoyed it, however before leaving for our trip we email VRBO and ask if there was cable tv. I received an email back stating they would get back to us, but no one did. We arrived a little after 4:00pm and spent the next 6-7 hours trying to get the tv to work. I called Vacasa phone numbers head housekeeper Cora that evening and left a message and got no response. We went to bed then tried the next day to contact Cora and left a second message, no reply. I saw that they were a few other numbers so i called Valerie and Lori called me back and came over to see if she could help but Lori could not fix it. Valerie kept in contact and Stacy left a message also. Valerie stated Stacy was going to call the owner, but we waited and nothing. Hats off to Lori who came out to the house and Valerie for staying in contact even if she was on a webinar.
So we watched Netflix upstairs in the loft each sitting at the edge of twin beds. The living rooms tv was stuck on Roku and we could not get it to move to Netflix, so we did not sit in the living room to relax and watch our movies. The bedroom downstairs mattress was horrible and the bed frame squeeky with every turn or trip to the bathroom. We tried to make the best of it and enjoyed our walks but we wanted to relax and enjoy a movie on the sofa, not on twin beds being in our 60’s its hard to sit up without something to lean back on, because of the roof slants we would of hit our heads. Wish there was an updated tv.

Fabulous Cabin!
This property was outstanding! We loved absolutely everything about our stay. The property was easy to find, close to area attractions, and so peacefully quiet. The kitchen was well equipped, there was everything we needed to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner. I only wish there was a bit more silverware as we found ourselves washing by hand for the next meal (we're a family of five). There was no liquid dishwash soap, for the pans that needed hand washing, but we picked up a bottle at the local market and left for the next guests. The kids loved all of the games the house had to offer, and enjoyed playing basketball. Other reviews suggested bringing fans so we did, but turns out we didn't need them. Both bedrooms, and the loft had their own fans plus there was an extra box fan that we used in the family room. I'm so glad to have found this gem of a place, we are already planning our next visit!
