Stay Number 3

This is our third year staying in this cozy home. The check-in process is easy, communication with owner is quick & clear, it’s clean, and all the necessities for cooking & bbq’ing. The beds are comfortable and all the decor & added amenities make you feel comfortable, cozy and safe. The deck is inviting to have your morning coffee, the street is great for an evening walk & it’s fun to rate cabins on our walks too. 😊 The lake is about 8 min away. The home is perfect for our family of four. We have made lasting memories with game nights, movies and long walks at this home the past three years. We are already thinking of year four.

Snow trip with the family

This cabin was a perfect fit for our 3 generations of our family to enjoy a trip to the snow. The home is outfitted with everything you might need from a fully equipped kitchen to a children's room with duplo, books, and a rocking sheep 😀 our 2 & 4 year old loved it! The location is great as well! There was plenty of snow right outside the cabin and it is very close to both dodge ridge and Leland's if you want a large hill for skiing or tubing.

First snow trip for my Grandchildren

We had a lovely time on our snow vacation. Leland’s snow park was a blast! The house had a great kitchen with all the amenities. My grandson Loved the bunk beds & the main floor living area was perfect for little ones to run around. Beautiful views from the back deck too. I would definitely rent this home again.

Wonderful Winter stay

We loved this place. The owner was very communicative! Even though it doesn't have WiFi, all the games and videos made the forced technology break very fun. It snowed A LOT while we were there, and the community was very helpful. Roads were plowed by 7:30am to help with getting out. It was very helpful to be able to park in the garage. Shovels were right there to clear a tiny bit of driveway, and we had no issues with driving to or from the cabin in the snow (without 4x4 drive- but YES Chains). It is 20 minutes door to door to Dodge Ridge, and we had the best time! The storm caused the power to go out our last night, but the owners had planned for that with extra blankets, flashlights and lanterns in easily findable places. We felt warm and safe, and can't wait to book again!

Best Mountain Retreat!

We couldn't have had a better time at this mountain home. The place exceeded all the expectations. There was everything we could have needed to enjoy our stay. The proximity to Dodge Ridge Ski Resort was a definite plus. The home was clean, cozy and had all the comforts you could want during the winter in the mountains.

Women’s kayaking trip

This was a beautiful property. Diane was very communicative and helpful. We loved having the air conditioning to with 3 older, menopausal women! We had so much fun kayaking Pinecrest Lake and the deck in the evening. There is no wifi, however my friends phone was able to connect through her data service, mine didn’t work though. So I just unplugged! Very relaxing girl’s trip. We plan to return!

Our family getaway

The property was very nicely laid out kid friendly with the armoire full of kids toys and games and the playroom upstairs. Nice to sit out on the deck and let the kids play knowing there all exits were secured with Gates. My only complaint was the morning we were leaving we were without power for almost 4 hours which meant no coffee to start our day and breakfast was pretty Slim Pickens for the kids, cold sausage and eggs from the previous day. It would have been nice to receive some sort of compensation but when I shared this "hiccup" nothing was mentioned or offered up.

Pinecrest Lake never disappoints

Love this area. Have stayed here twice. We have kids under 6 so the deck with all the gates for safety is nice for relaxation of mom and dad. House is clean. Comfy beds and lots of sheets, towels and bedding extras if needed. We vidit in July si the air conditioner is rare fir this area but a must in the 100 plus degree heat. We love the privacy.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay and are appreciative of the owners sharing their home. The home is easy to get to, clean and cozy! The house is close to Pinecrest Lake and Dodge Ridge which makes it nice. Knowing there is an AC in the home was comforting even though it wasn’t hot enough to use during our stay. The house has all the amenities needed, we just had to bring the food and some movies from home. The house is very well maintained. The view from the deck is just beautiful & we enjoyed drinking our coffee in the morning overlooking the valley of trees. We will be booking again in the future!

Great location, great cabin!

Everything was super clean when we arrived, which I greatly appreciated. There’s definitely a rustic pine cone theme going, which may not be for everyone, as well as a couple of religious wall decorations, but the cabin itself was lovely. My family was very comfortable. The only recommendations I would make to future guests are: 1) bring your own washcloths, as the supply was limited (abundant supply of posh towels, though!) and 2) if you are going to be arriving on a winter night, reach out to the host to request she turn the heat on for you. We arrived at 10:30 at night with our kid asleep in the car to a 49 degree house. It took over an hour to warm up, which would have been ok in the day, but it was challenging at night. Thankfully the cabin comes with a washer & dryer, so my husband thought of putting our daughter’s bedding in the dryer to warm it up before bringing her in to bed. Diane left us a lovely bottle of wine, though, much appreciated. Super easy to get to Dodge Ridge to ski, and nice walks up and down the development roads.

A Comfortable Visit to the 90's

We had a wonderful visit here in early 2022. We've stayed in dozens of cabins and houses across the country over the years, and this was one of the cleanest and most comfortable we've experienced. I was particularly impressed with the kitchen. Every appliance we used was relatively new and in good working orders (a bit of a rarity in the rental world!). Upstairs we had plenty of linens and towels. The beds got mixed reviews, but that's a matter or personal taste. Technology-wise, this is a visit to 1999. There is no wi-fi and our Verizon phones had only brief glimpses of service. One of us had a T-Mobile phone with a fair number of bars, which we could use to stream music and look up the open hours of local restaurants. (Spoiler alert: most were closed!) Entertainment was limited to a collection of VCR tapes and a few DVD's. There is also a WII (no games for it, though) and an iPod dock for music (just in case you have a working iPod). We didn't try the Dish TV. We had relatively warm winter weather and could easily see returning in the summer to sit on the deck and look out at the wonderful view.

PERFECT LOCATION

We spent Christmas with our kids and grand kids at the cabin. It was a perfect white Christmas. The cabin is easy to get in and out in the snow. Beautiful deck in the back overlooking the snow covered trees. views from two of the bedrooms also looking out over the forest in the back. Plenty of room for 6 people (4 adults and 2 younger children) in the kitchen, dining room and living room.

Quiet, Tasteful Home

We so enjoyed our time at the cabin and hope to return. The hosts were communicative and thoughtful, purchasing new sleds before our arrival and leaving a bottle of wine for us when we arrived. It snowed and the house was a magical quiet escape. We were able to sled in the backyard, take quiet walks through the neighborhood and enjoy Dodge Ridge for snowboarding just 10 minutes up the road. We appreciated the restaurant recommendations from the hosts. Also great location for enjoying Pinecrest Lake. We will be back!!

Great place - great location

The house was very clean and as described. Kitchen was fully equipped. Good collection of DVDs/Blu rays to entertain kids. Great forest view from the deck (we couldn't use it as it was winter). Great place for kids too. Near to many locations - Pinecrest lake, Sonora pass and other small dams/lakes. Plenty of parking. Only thing was no internet, but I am all good going offline when on vacation! And special thank you for the bottle of wine!

About the host

Hosted by Diane Gilbert

My husband Jay and I purchased our home in the Peter Pam development when my son James was 2 years old. We bought it from the original owners who lived in Southern California, so the home was rarely used and everything was "like new". We have enjoyed snowy family Christmas' here as well as summers playing at nearby Pinecrest Lake. Being from nearby Oakdale, my husband has fond memories of Pinecrest, when as a child he spent summers here camping with his family.
I have enjoyed decorating our mountain home, mixing vintage pieces, including many old postcards and pictures of Pinecrest from years past with new comfortable furnishings. I think you will find our home to be a relaxing place with all the modern conveniences.
Now that our son is older he prefers to spend weekends at home playing with friends, so we are making our home available to you. We trust that you will enjoy it as much as we have and create many special memories of your own.
