Clean and Functional - Great for a Family
The property was exactly as advertised. Everything was clean and in good working order. We had a family of 4 and there was plenty of room for at least 4 more. Would definitely rent here again!

Snowy weekend getaway
We had a great stay with our kids and another family at the cabin. It’s the perfect location to get to Bear Valley skiing, both downhill and cross country, as well as sledding and other snow play, but low enough elevation that we didn’t get stuck in the snow. The cabin is a little rustic, and very comfy. We had everything we needed. It’s a small thing but we really appreciated not having to strip the bedding at the end of our stay. The driveway is a bit steep which they mention in the description but we didn’t have any problems. We would stay there again.

peaceful location, comfortable cabin
We had a very relaxed time in a pleasant setting--exactly what we wanted. Cell coverage was poor but we didn't care. Quiet neighborhood. Driveway is steep but no snow or ice when we were there.

Neat Cottage near Bear Valley
Everything was as described. We had a smooth visit from check in to check out. Well stocked with kitchen tools and small appliances. Nice bedding. Lots of useful nightlights to help find the bathroom in the dark. If you put kids in the loft, you will hear every noise in the downstairs bedrooms until they stop moving and chatting and finally fall asleep upstairs. The Avery trash transfer station was easy to find and use when we were leaving. Good stay overall.

February Stay
Everything about the property was great. Only problem we had was parking. Our van had snow cables, but we got stuck trying to get out the driveway. Too steep for cables to work. Snow saucers we were counting on weren't there. We enjoyed our stay, response from property manager was excellent. The property other than the parking was just right.

Family vacation
We had a great time and the cabin was the perfect size for our family of 5. There are blankets and comforters but you need to bring linens and towels. They have a good selection of DVD's and board games. We played many games of Battleship!

Cozy Cabin
We had a nice stay at this cabin. It is conveniently located to several attractions. Our plan was to go skiing at Bear Valley but the ski conditions were not ideal. We had so many other activities to choose from that it still made for a great weekend!

Great weekend
Great cabin that met Our needs. Excellent location and easy process. Comfortable and just what our family needed. Not a fancy place, perfect for family. One thing to know ahead , you have to bring your own linens and towels snd take your garbage for disposal about 20 minutes away. Both were fine snd likely help keep the place affordable, just something good to know before you book.

Nice small cabin
It’s a good cabin for the price. The place is a bit outdated. Old shower heads and toilets. But they have full kitchen, lots of beds and are in a great location. We loved our stay.

had to book twice
Do not be fooled when you get instant approval from VRBO. The realtor managing this property does not consider you confirmed until you return a 5 page rental agreement requiring initials and signature and multiple places that must be faxed back with 48 hrs or they cancel your reservation. I was out of internet range and they canceled my reservation. I would recommend the owner be more involved in the process. We did not receive the code to the lock box, most cell phones do not work in the area. Relator closed on a friday at 4pm. not able to call for help. You get 1 garbage bag for 2 nights stay recommend you bring your own. The hand soap in bathrooms and kitchen was horribly watered down would not even suds up. The light on the deck is motion sensor and only stays on for about 3 sec. If you want to sit on the deck you sit in complete darkness. They do not want you to bring your own shoes inside the cabin so maybe you want to bring some house shoes.Furniture is oversized for the size of the cabin and the front room kitchen area is very cramped and difficult to move around in. The bedrooms appear roomier. The showers are very small tall people had to duck short people the water hits over their head to the wall no way to adjust the shower nozzle. There are other rentals on this same street with similar prices and much roomier layouts and full size shower/tub combinations. We adapted and still had a good time but the rental process does not need to be so.... complex

Relaxing & centrally located
Easy to find and near several great spots. Cabin was very homey, charming and spacious! Should've invited more ppl as we had extra sleeping areas. Everything was clean and although not modern, kept the feel nostalgic and cozy. Will definitely try staying there again!

Great Family Cabin
For the price this cabin had great value! I loved the quiet neighborhood while sitting out on the deck playing cards surrounded by pine trees. It felt very homey that it hasn't been updated and my daughter loved the quilts hanging on the walls.

Convenient, very affordable cabin!
Cabin is outdated but was clean and had everything we needed! It also had a ton of beds more than we even needed and the price was super reasonable ! The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, has friendly neighbors and the location is only 4 miles Away from White Pines Lake! This little town is like a hidden treasure! Will definitely come back.
