Family snow trip

The property was good for our family and accommodated us perfectly. It is a little funky because it’s an older cabin. It did have an intense smoky smell but we got over it after the first night. The cabin was clean and easy to get to. It was also warm and cozy even while snowing outside and heated up quickly upon our arrival. I would recommend bringing pillows from home, the ones provided are very uncomfortable but standard “hotel” quality. Overall a great experience.

Great week!

the cabin is great. Wifi and cell phone (AT&T) reception were strong and clear. I needed to do some work each morning so this was important. AC was a godsend. it was hot and the smoke one day would have been overwhelming without it. Place was clean and the towels were nice. The only thing to note is that there are stairs from the street that made loading and unloading a bit challenging for older folks. Great deck and firepits that made for a fun area for family and friends to gather. thanks for sharing your special place.

Great location for adventure

Had a great time staying at Nick's cabin. The cabin was well appointed and is located in an area that provides easy access to Highway 108 and all of the surrounding activities. We did some fishing at Pinecrest and some Jeeping in the high country. I would recommend the cabin to friends and family and will look forward to staying here again.

best needed get away vacation

Booked this cabin for a summer get away with family and we loved every part of it. The rooms were spacious and plenty, everything was super clean. The area was so beautiful and the surrounding activities were excellent, from the lake to the movies under the stars and the river everything was so great. Only thing we were disappointed with was in the picture of the house when we booked, it showed a hammock but it wasn't there :(.

Thanks Chris for a wonderful weekend at your cabin!

Chris was an excellent host! He was very accommodating and very quick to respond with any questions. He was also flexible with check-in and had a 12pm check-out, which was extremely helpful. The place was very clean and had all of the necessities for a weekend getaway! The cabin was even better than the pictures! It was updated and very clean. Only encountered minor issues - wifi connection could've been better, hot water ran out quickly if both showers were simultaneously in use, etc. Overall though, my group of family & close friends had a great weekend getaway!

Amazing 5 days

My wife, three kids and I stayed at Nicks cabin with my sister in law and her son for 5 amazing relaxing days. Everything super clean and fully stocked. The kids enjoyed the three places to have a nice fire, especially the big fire pit down below making s’mores. Very quiet and relaxing location. The provided grille on the deck made us some delicious tri-tips on our final night. We plan on rebooking Nicks cabin again in the future. Chris was very responsive to our few questions which made everything a breeze! Thanks again!

Stay at Nick's Cabin for family of 5

Nice cabin - exactly as the photos

We had a great time relaxing in this mountain cabin. It is away from the main street, so it is quite tranquil. Really nice touches to the house, a well-stocked kitchen, and a hammock on one of the deck made it perfect. Chris was very responsive through chat and email and answered all my silly questions immediately. I would definitely recommend this place.

Perfect location for a getaway

This cabin is great. Plenty of space for you and your family or a few families to spread out. Stocked with all the necessities to include bug spray and sunscreen. The lake is a short 10 minute or so drive away and there is a trail that you can explore right at the end of the culdesac. Communication with the owner was great, I especially appreciated the hand written note and chocolates. All sorts of movies and games for you to enjoy. The kids loved every part of it. We will be returning.
