This property is located in the heart of Alta in a quiet wooded setting. It is a great base for hiking, fishing and skiing in the Tahoe basin. It is 30 minutes from Boreal Ski resort and 45 min from Truckee. We have a huge deck with a BBQ, great for relaxing while having a cup of coffee, or just visiting with family and friends. Plenty of room around the property for the kids and a fire pit to enjoy at night. There is also access to a community pool in Dutch Flat 5 minutes away. This cabin was built in 2010 as my parents summer home and has all the comfort and conveniences. Owners live on site in the separate main house.

This cabin was absolutely amazing! It was extremely clean, very well stocked in the kitchen, and had all the streaming services on the TV the kids could ask for! The view in the morning looking out into the forest was stunning. The cats that greeted us upon arrival made us feel like we were at home. I would highly recommend this place and would love to stay again.
The Cozy Cabin was exactly that. Beautiful surroundings and easy to locate. My family and I had plans to ski at Soda Springs for the weekend, which was a short 30 minutes to the hill, which worked out perfectly. Out of the hustle and bustle of traffic and a quiet retreat. Easy in easy out. Thank you, Scott and Dena!
Wonderful spot - worked perfectly for a family ski trip, a quick 30 minute drive up to Royal Gorge and Sugar Bowl. The cabin was spotless when we arrived, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen is very well equipped. Our hosts were kind and accommodating and we loved staying in the quiet forest at the end of the road. We'll be back!
Our stay was exactly what we were looking for. The property was as expected: clean, comfortable, and very cozy. The hosts were lovely and very welcoming and the location is perfect. We all really enjoyed our visit and would gladly return for another trip.
Beautiful cabin : 10 out of 10! It was stocked with everything one could need, and it has a great porch to appreciate the lush location. The hosts were very responsive & helpful with great local tips. We would stay here again & again if we ever get the chance!
Beautiful and peaceful location. Cabin very well designed and constructed with great view of the forest. Cabin well stocked and lots of special touches to make it feel like home. A wonderful anniversary getaway for us.
Needed a little getaway. The family and I were able to spend three nights at the cabin to relax and unwind. Enjoyed the surroundings, friendly cat, dog and sweet property owners. We enjoyed walking around and playing outside. We will be back to have some tranquility again.
The cabin was so cozy and cute! It was even better than the pictures and the hosts are super accommodating. We will be back!

This is a great place. My family enjoyed staying 3 nights here. This cabin has everything like someone is living. Easy access to the ski resort and snow parks. Definitely going back when we go the area again!
This was the perfect “cabin in the woods getaway” for our family of five. We were looking for a place to reconnect with our daughters before the beginning of school/college. The place is amazing - even better than the pictures. Our hosts were great and so responsive. It’s about a 10 minute drive from I 80, but it feels a world away. So serene you will not want to leave.

We had such a wonderful stay here in a snowstorm! Scott and Dena were amazing hosts from helping us anticipate road conditions getting there on a stormy weekend to all of the small touches that made staying there with kids easy and fun! Our kids loved the toys, we loved the fully stocked kitchen and cooking together, the orientation of the cabin out to the woods is just beautiful. We look forward to another visit!
This cabin went above and beyond our expectations! It had a great layout for our family, plenty of space, all the amenities you would need either in the kitchen, bedrooms or bathrooms. We felt very at home and the owners were so kind. Would definitely come back next time!
Had a great time at the cozy cabin in the woods. Short drive up to the slopes and the cabin had everything we needed (and more). Appreciate how responsive the owners were when we had a question for them.
This cabin and host was remarkable. We originally had plans to site see in Lake Tahoe, and other places but found ourselves repeatedly going back to the cabin to just hang and play games. Had a campfire, played ball with the dog, and hung out with cat. Great time.
Scott accommodated everything we requested lickety split. The cabin layout was awesome. Will stay again.
We had a great stay in Alta here. Celebrated my daughters birthday with a few friends here. Close enough that we could enjoy the Truckee / Donner area without having to worry about traffic and pricey rentals. Very nice place to stay for the 6 of us. The hosts were very accomodating and made us all feel very welcome and at home. Thank you!
We really enjoyed our stay at Scott and Dena's cabin. It was so cozy and well-stocked, and we appreciated the fresh eggs from the chickens! We also loved playing with the pets. Great location too- there was some snow on the ground when we got there, and only had to drive about 15 miles up the road for sledding.
Perfect setting in the woods for this well designed and furnished cabin. Very comfortable and relaxing. Worked great for our small family long weekend. We will be back. Wonderful hosts. Thanks Scott, Dena, and Ruth for sharing !
