"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mike’s place. We had a lovely day at alpine lake and spent our second day hiking the Arnold Rim and then heading to a local winery. The home was so peaceful. Dinner at Sarafina’s topped it all off."
"Love this place!!! The rooms were very clean and had a beach view of the river. The food is great. If you run into Paul, say Hi from us. He was the star of the show and made sure every step of our trip was great. Traveling with a 2 year old is a blast but also a lot of work. Come here, eat the food and visit Pinecrest. It will take you back in time to small town summer vibes."
"We stayed for a few days and a family of five it accommodated all of us with beds and space. It was a wonderful stay,the staff was helpful to let us know places and things to do as well as getting extra towels or anything. The area is beautiful too! Definitely a must stay spot if you need a place to stay in the area! Oh and the fact it’s 5 mins from the Calaveras redwoods was awesome!"
Dog-Friendly Home with Large Deck, Wood Stove, & WiFi
10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed many of the attributes this home has to offer. The kitchen is large and spacious with a nice gas stove and oven. All appliances worked great for us. The common room was comfortable with plenty of seating for our family of 7. The grandkids loved the big rug with pictures of local wildlife. Each bedroom has access to a well appointed, updated bathroom. Although one is a Jack & Jill bathroom, there’s a third full bathroom on the main floor. We enjoyed the roomy deck with gas grill. We were able to eat many of our meals on the back deck. This is a quiet street within the neighborhood with almost no traffic. Very peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay.
Cons: lots of stairs to climb when loading in or out. A few strong folks makes it easier. The driveway is very steep and would be scary in the snow without the proper tires or 4 WD."
"Great place to get away in the Summer.
It’s a place for hiking and reading.
And a great restaurants near the Lake.
Not a big party place, but deeply reflective.
Take a date!"
"A absolutely stunning location! Excellent communication with the host. A terrific spot for a large family or group. We’ve been here three times and hope to return again next summer!"
"The property was gorgeous and conveniently located. The wrap around deck was beautiful. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked and perfect for a familyGetaway to calavares big trees state park! Will definitely be back"
