Overall - very good. Would return!

We had a great time with my family of four and our two small dogs. There was plenty of room and it was a great location. The pilot light was out in the fireplace, but that was fixed within an hour, thank you very much. There was also no sponge to wash dishes, but that was fixed quickly as well. Plenty of room in the cabin to relax and play. Close to snow. We loved that the back deck was fenced for our dogs. Overall we were very happy and would go back.

Mountain Getaway

Great location. Very quiet and beautiful spot to sit under the pines. Plenty of room for the four of us. Nice space to sit and relax both inside and out. Really close to Calavaras Big Trees and not too much farther to other good places to visit like Murphy’s.

Pine paradixe

The cabin was great and the beds were comfortable. We had some issues when we first arrived but there is no cell service and the e-mails and text messages went unanswered. When we arrived there was no power to half the cabin, my husband who has a broken leg had to wander around the outside of the cabin in the snow and in the dark to find the fuse box. We also had no hot water and I had to go relight the pilot light the next day. Other than the zero response we got from the management company, once we solved the issues, it was a nice trip.

So peaceful!

Our second visit back to this property, and we absolutely love it! They updated the bungalow which was a nice addition! The visit to lake alpine was beautiful. A short drive to the river, so serene! Can’t wait to return. Thanks for the stay!

Close & quiet for Dorington family wedding

If we could have brought our dog on the plane she would have enjoyed too. Great deck/gas fireplace, and enough windows to enjoy the setting. AT&T does not work in area so appreciated the WiFi at home base. We were only there for 3 nights and did not utilize kitchen to full extent. We thought we could get a few items like coffee tea in California yet our flight was delayed and we did not get there until the wee hours or 1:30 AM. All the stores were closed. So be sure and pack. We really enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, the rest of our family party was within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Retreat Getaway

I thought the cabin was cozy and met our needs. I liked the tv and internet accessibilities. However, the property was not cleaned adequately. Granted this place allows pets however there were pet hairs all over the couches and mats within restrooms. I found that on one of the bunk beds, the sheets were not washed as there were some hairs from previous stays and particles and debris. I was very disappointed and tried to change sheets but there were not sheets, the extra blankets were not washed as there were debris on them. I found one sheet upstairs and thank God but it was not until the next day that i found them. I slept on dirty sheets the first night. I hope the owners will address this with the cleaner and that no one else will experience this as I have.

Memorial Day Stay

We loved the place! I just wish the listing was more detailed. I like how there was a pack n play! This was a lifesaver. There needs to be place to put excess trash, and I'm so glad they had a coffee Keurig. The place was clean and the beds were comfy.

Great weekend in the woods

Property was great. The weather was great. Only minor complaint is that we didn't receive the key box code until the morning of check in. This area in the mountains has poor cell service, so I had to go to a restaurant to get wifi to get the entry info.

Quiet Weekend Getaway

The neighborhood it’s was very quiet and relaxing. Very close to Calaveras Trees Park. I would recommend a house book/directory. We weren’t sure where to put the garbage. The upstairs room was missing the blinds/window coverings and there was a large crack in the window. Besides those two things it was a great stay, would definitely book again.

Nice cabin, needs some TLC

My wife and I had a nice stay at Pine Paradise. We loved that it was on a large, wooded lot set back from a quiet street. The beds were comfortable, we loved the ample deck seating and clean efficient gas stove heater. The property is in need of some maintenance and cleaning. There is a fair amount of random items strewn around the land, there was thick dust up high and down low, cobwebs inside and out, and holes in the screens. The kitchen was haphazardly stocked, there was no dishwasher and the grill is very substandard. Overall a nice enough place to stay for a night or two.

Not cleaned and poorly maintained and the key was missing

We arrived after dark and there were no lights to find our way to the door. We used cell phone flashlights to locate the keybox, which was empty. It took an hour and calling twice to get in. The carpets had not been vacuumed, floors swept, a veneer of dust was on furnishings. Over a dozen bags of garbage on patio. Grill and patio furniture was filthy. Broken toys were strewn around the yard. 2 cloth dust masks were in the driveway. Broken window, coffee pot, patio gate, bathroom heater. It does not sleep 10 and other amenities were not as described. Our first hour was spent trying to get in. The second hour was cleaning. Once we got it cleaned and sanitized, we could relax.

Nice cabin in the woods

Our first getaway since Covid. We are self employed and have been working 24/7 to make things work. This was a fantastic getaway. The cabin is spacious with lots of fun games, dvd player (no remote, so couldn't control any settings), gas fireplace with blower. It was comfortable. My biggest gripe is the oven. It's possessed. It wouldn't turn on at all the first day. The 2nd day we noticed the clock blinking so I tried to turn the oven on. Then everything blinked out again. I had meal prepped and froze our food, expecting to be able to reheat in the oven. I brought cookies dough to make fresh baked cookies, which are awesome after skiing. Sometimes we got the oven to stay on long enough to preheat, then the minute I opened to door to put the food in, it would click off. Or I got a meal halfway done, then it would click off. Ugh! Also, there was no salt or pepper. My bad for not packing any. It was also frustrating that there was no way to contact anyone. I sent messages via the VRBO app, but no replies. We couldn't find a garage bin outside, couldn't get the oven to work and wanted to report a broken window upstairs. Minor nuisances that didn't prevent us from having an amazing time. We found the bath towels in the dryer - lucky my husband thought to check cause I thought there were only hand towels! Check the washer too, cause 2 days later we opened it to do a quick load and found the bath rugs. Location was great. Plenty of tp, towels, little shampoo and conditioners, disinfectant wipes, paper towels and dish soap. All great. We had fun.

Great location!

Great location to Bear Valley for skiing, and close to local sledding. Home was able to accommodate 2 families. Only negative was there were not any instructions on the home, so we struggled with turning on the heater and what to do with trash.
