Very family friendly cabin in a secure gated community near Long Barn that has been almost completely renovated. This 1534 sq ft cabin has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. There are enough beds to sleep 12 people. The loft has a 1 queen bed, the large middle bedroom has a 2 queen beds and the lower bedroom has 1 queen bed and 1 set of bunk beds. Also down stairs there is a full size futon and another twin size bed in a smaller room.The cabin has ampule amount of space for parking.
All this is set in a secure and safe gated community amongst the woods. There is a small private lake for summer fun, a basketball court, a ball field and a large playground. Winter will let family's play in the snow and not be in the very crowed and dangerous Hwy 108 atmosphere. A private toboggan hill is also available for your use. Great for a fun snow filled day!

This was such a wonderful stay! The overall experience was incredibly easy because the hosts have excellent and detailed communication. They are kind and sweet! The house was clean and spacious. We took our 18 month old twins and 4 year old son. It was an absolute blast! The house is in an excellent location. We were able to walk outside and ride our sleds down the hill. We never had to leave the entire trip for a snow park because it was perfect for the family.
My only important note is the stairs. The hosts do provide a baby gate for one set of the stairs which was incredibly helpful! We had to blockade the other stairs to prevent our adventurous toddlers from attempting those cabin stairs on their own. It would have been easier if we brought them some more toys to distract them from wanting to climb the stairs.
Other than that, it is a wonderful house to make memories in and the hosts are one of a kind!
Location location location!!!! This cabin is nothing short of amazing! My kids absolutely loved being able to rent this cabin again for our winter trip a second time.The toboggan hill is just right out the back a short walk through the beautiful trees. Cabin was warm and cozy when we arrived. A special treat and wine was waiting for us on the counter. Dennis and Mrs B is very informative and very helpful. Shorty after we arrived we received a call making sure all was well and asked if anything was needed. This is definitely the place to stay at in this area! Thank you so much Dennis and MRS B for not only your amazing hospitality but also opening your place of peace and serenity for us to enjoy!
The location was great and gated community provided the perfect private sledding and snow play area for the kids. The owners were very reachable throughout the process to answer any questions and provide helpful information.
This log wood cabin is very cozy with a lovely rustic mountain vibe. It took us about 30 minutes to get to Dodge Ridge ski resort which is a nice family ski resort. The owners did a great job of communicating and making sure we had what we needed.
Property and community were amazing. Perfect location for local activities including skiing, ice skating, and snow play in the winter. Property he all the needed items for a winter cabin. I was impressed with the additional amenities that generally are not available for a vacation rental.
All around AMAZING! Felt at home and definitely felt the love poured into this cabin!
Wow is all I can say! LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!!! This Cabin was perfect and stocked with everything you could ever need. The owners left a bottle of wine and cake on the counter when we arrived,it was so thoughtful and such a nice surprise. I will definitely come back and book at this cabin for our next getaway! Thank you so very much Dennis and MRS. B! You have a beautiful place! Our kiddos enjoyed the Tobaggan hill and so did I after a glass or 2 of wine🤣🥳.Thank you for such a great stay and such a clean cabin!

Owners/neighbors/ were really nice but, would not recommend it if you have kids.
Owners/neighbors/area were really nice but, would not recommend it if you have kids because of the stairs.
We loved our stay. We were pleasantly surprised when we found the owners had left fresh apple cake and wine to welcome us. The location is perfect for daytime outings or quiet time enjoying the outside deck.
The one thing to keep in mind are the stairs are very steep leading to the lower level. If you have very small children a baby gate would be helpful.
We’d stay here again and again.
Love the location so much we are looking for our own cabin!
This is THE PERFECT LOCATION for a Sierra vacation. The Odd Fellow community has its own private lake, playground, basketball court, horseshoes, and trails right out the back door of this cabin. Location, location, location, as they say!
The cabin DOES have stairs more equivalent to a ladder, as previous people have posted. This is not the right property for those with mobility constraints. We had my kids walk around the side of the building to the back door instead of using the stairs whenever possible as a workaround. Also, this is truly a CABIN. I think if you have the right mindset you will be happy with what you get. If you are looking for a modern chalet that they call a cabin to be cute, this is not that. It has its 1950's charm with some upgrades, but overall it is still a 50s cabin.
My kids loved it and the dvds downstairs were perfect for when I was cooking. There is NO WIFI AND NO CELL SERVICE so appreciate the landline for emergencies. Kitchen had everything we needed, heat worked well, the neighborhood had a small power outage and the generator instructions were flawless. Hosts were VERY sweet and responsive, we were always able to get ahold of them.
Thank you for sharing your special place with us!

This is not a cabin for the elderly or disabled.
The owners were very friendly and overall the cabin would've been great for a group of college kids. Not the right fit for an 11 year old in a wheelchair and his 63 year old mom. Every time my grandkids used the stairs to the lower level I panicked! Very steep and not very safe.
We had a terrific time. 7 girls, 40 -50, having a great time sledding, eating lots od good food, games, good conversations, laughing hard, and having a few drinks. Definitely coming back. Cabin is perfect for a weekend getaway, no matter how many!
While our original plans were impacted by the statewide wildfires, having a nice, quaint cabin in a tucked-away community, gave us the ability to explore and disconnect from city-life. There was plenty to do (moreso if the National Forest wasn't closed) around the cabin, nearby trails and the pond ; going out at night to view stars isn't something I've had much of a chance to do being stuck in civilization so that was definitely a highlight of my stay.
Beatrice and Dennis were great hosts that made sure everything was alright given the situation. Would definitely come back again if given the chance.
We had such a nice time. Spacious rooms and very nice owners. Glad place to stay if you want to get away.
