Cute cottage in the woods
Really enjoyed our stay at “The Roost!” Great access to lot’s of recreation activities. Communication with the owner was easy, and with quick responses. The cabin was well equipped, and the tastefully updated. Perfect place for 2 people; possibly 3. Any more than that it may be a bit cramped. We will certainly consider “The Roost” in the future .

Roost for Empty Nesters
These empty nesters loved having the entire family over for the Holidays. Then we took a little getaway to The Roost, just the two of us her skis and my snowboard. The cabin was perfect, for us. The exterior is unassuming, yet charming. The couches and bed were comfy. Everything in the cabin was easy to use, from the simple Frigidaire stove, to the Nest household thermostat and Roku TV (easy to login to our own streaming services.I wouldn't have guessed I'd like a black sink or faucet fixtures. But, they looked great here and worked like a charm, from the kitchen sink to the steamy warm shower, after fun days at Bear Valley. The ultimate question in a review is, would you come back? You bet we would!

Cozy Cabin
Our stay in the cozy cabin was a good time of year to go. Very quiet so my wife and I enjoyed our time. A few things that would need an upgrade is the lighting as it needs a little more brighter lights, the Bar B Que grill was not used as I went to grill steaks and the last person before us did not bother to clean was disappointed. The big couch you definitely sink in to it. Overall it was a nice stay.

This was a great cabin. It was small and cozy yet big enough to enjoy. The decorations of this cabin made you feel right at home. Very clean and stocked well. It has a nice sized patio with a BBQ, table set and some chair. Communication was great quick response. I will definably be retuning to this cabin again for my next trip to the mountains.

Great place near Bear Valley
This cozy cabin provided a great place to stay while hiking near Bear Valley. It was hot but the owner provided many fans to cool off the cabin. We enjoyed using the BBQ and deck for meals.

Cozy Cabin the Snow
Our family of for enjoyed staying at this cozy cabin in the snow. There was just enough snow for our young California kids to play in while we cooked breakfast and got ready for the day. The only reason that we would not stay here again is because the window in the kids room did not have any window treatments so forget sleeping in.

Restful cabin
We enjoyed this cozy and restful cabin. It is setup functionally and decorated nicely. The host quickly responded to all of our questions. The fireplace was easy to use, but we were reminded of needing to provide our own wood. Most things were updated, except we suggest newer pillows especially upstairs. We would enjoy returning to this modern-retreat spot!

Wonderful Cozy Cabin - wish we could have stayed longer!
I stayed with my 2 boys (ages 5 and 7) for 2 nights and we loved this place. Skied at Bear Valley yesterday and there was zero snow on the ground at the Roost but we woke up to almost a foot of snow and it was still coming down as we left! It was so pretty. Definitely need 4WD to get out of the community with snow. Amenities are top notch, and the decor is beyond cute!

Little Things
The stay at the Roost Cabin was enjoyable. It is a beautiful cabin.However, a few little things needed attention. The toilet seat was very loose. The toilet paper dispenser (half inch black pipe) was loose and could not be used. There was no floor mat to step on after bathing. There was a small rug in front of the toilet but slid easily and was unsafe if stepped on at an angle. There was still evidence of rodents in the cabin. Loose Insulation from the floor ductwork blew into the rooms.The floor vents rattled and were noisy affecting restful nights.One of the solar panels for the top porch light strings was found on the ground under the porch. There were two books about cabins entitled CABIN PORN. I'm sorry, but as serious as the matter of PORN is, I felt the title of the books was very distasteful, and removed the books from sight. Being a handyman, I was able to fix the toilet seat, the toilet paper dispenser, locate the misplaced solar panel, and remove some of the loose Insulation from the floor vents. It seems that there should be someone who inspects the cabin more closely for little details. Little things affect the overall enjoyment of staying at even a very lovely cabin.

Cute cabin vibe
This was a clean and cute cabin that has been remodeled nicely. The owner is very kind and helpful. Perfect getaway in a quiet neighborhood. Has all you need to cook and the bed is pretty comfortable. Hot water came on fast. Super cute deck to relax and drink coffee. All the furniture and decor was nice. The only things we thought should be fixed is the toilet seat was broken. Several lights were burned out and we wished the upstairs was at least a queen not a double bed. Only one person can fit in that.

The cabin was very clean and cozy. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed our 3 days there. Went to Murphy's wine tasting, Angels Camp golfing and a day hiking around the Calaveras Big Tree State Park. I would stay there again.

The Roost is situated in the trees. Beautifully decorated and has a really nice deck. Super quiet location. Rooms are small, so w four people it would be tight. For just the two of us, it was fantastic.
