Great Rustic Getaway

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. The surrounding woods and trails were beautiful and so secluded. The cabin was simple rustic, fun activities, and a warm wood burning stove. The host was awesome and so accommodating. Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing stay.

Great host, cozy property

We stayed at Diane’s cabin with our friends and pets for a valentine getaway. Diane is the great host. Not only she showed us the amenities in the cabin, but also gave us lots of recommendations around the area. Especially love her hand drawing map. Definitely would love to come back. And Piper 4ever!

Deep in the woods but with all the comfort

Diane has a well appointed house that is clean, cozy, well stocked with luxurious bedding. We very much enjoyed the hot tub, the hike down to the tunnel, cooking in the kitchen and building fires. The icing on the cake is having friendly pups come over! Would definitely stay again

Relaxing Anniversary Weekend

Diane was such a great host. She met us at arrival and gave us a tour of the house and property. Such a nice warm and inviting environment. Loved the rustic feel of the place. To top it off, she had 2 of the most cutest sweetest dogs. We look forward to visiting again 😊

Want to get away?

Diane was a great hostess. She contacted me soon after booking and let me know what to expect until check-in time. It is clear that she has been doing this for a long time.Upon arrival, she greeted us and showed us around. All the fire pits were nicely prepped and easy to start. Our daughters loved the games and toys she had. It was a perfect getaway for kids of all ages. She even had a VCR with Disney movies! Each night we watched a different movie, and it was a nice throwback.The only thing that could have made it any better was if there had been snow outside.

Girls get away

This was the 5 annual getaway for myself, elderly mom & my sister. This was the location for our first outing. After trying others in Northern California we came back here. It is beautiful, relaxing with all the amenities we could want. Diane is a wonderful caring host. Couldn’t ask for more. We decided that this will be our “forever” retreat location

can't complain!

Nothing bad to say here, the location is amazingly secluded. One thing to note, you are very close to the owners property. I was nervous at first because to be honest we are recluses and the point of our vacation is getting away from people no matter how nice! We stayed a week and only ran into Diane once. She gave us total privacy which we truly appreciated and valued. Her pups were adorable and added something special to our trip. Nothing is more healing than the combination of dogs and forest. There's so much to do in the area and Diane seems very knowledgeable, I'd come back for sure.Thank you for your hospitality Diane, we are grateful for our time spent there.

Exactly what we wished for!

We are a group of intelligent, chatty, but overall, calm group of women. We wanted a cabin in the woods to help celebrate my bachelorette weekend and the place was perfect! Plenty of space for the introverts to retreat to, spacious and full kitchen, wonderful spa, plenty of sunshine & outside sitting, and cozy beds. The DVD system wasn't working one evening, but Diane came in and fixed it for us! We also explored nearby Colfax, hiked around the gorgeous property, and swam out in Rollins Lake. Lovely, LOVELY weekend and a great host! I did manage to get several bug bites around one eye while sleeping, but that is nobody's doing but nature. And we wanted nature! Thank you, Diane!

Best owner yet

I came with my 2 teen nephews, my 2 teen children and my dog for a getaway together. I rent houses like this at least once a year for several years now. This is hands down the best experience I’ve had with the owner of a property (and they’ve all been positive). She is above and beyond great to communicate with and deal with. The house has everything you could possibly need/want. It’s extremely clean, has SO many games and things to do, kitchen is fully stocked, etc. It’s really even better than the pictures can show. We are dog people, and Piper, the owner’s dog and our dog were friends immediately and we loved having her visit with us too. There is no area for improvement here. Best experience across the board. Beds are SO comfortable too!!! We will be coming back.

Great getaway

This mountain house is a great getaway for anyone who wants to enjoy the pines and/or escape from the hustle and bustle of normal daily life. Very gracious and helpful host. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, lots of books, puzzles, and outdoor sports equipment, plus an outdoor spa and an indoor jacuzzi bathtub. Good hiking trails. About a 40 min drive to gold rush towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley and also to Donner Pass area. House located about 5-7 min drive off Hwy 80 in a secluded area with absolutely no traffic noise. A plus--if you like dogs--is friendly Piper who is always eager to be petted.

Good mountain getaway

Check-in: The property was easy to get to, clean, organized, and ready for our arrival with clear check-in instructions. Diane, the owner, lives on site (house next door) and was easy to reach/talk to. She even came over to give us a quick tour of the place and go over the house rules. Her dog was playful and friendly. House:The house had tall ceilings, adequate lighting, very nice wood stove fireplace (our fav feature), spacious downstairs master bedroom, and a small adjacent bedroom. Not a deal breaker for us by any means but the "master" bath was not ensuite but quite nice tho. The second bath was a half bath. We did not use it but there was a loft area with rather low and tapered ceiling with 2 queen beds set up with nightstand, and 1 queen mattress - good for a slumber party but not for elderly or tall folks. There were additional rollout beds too. This house can sleep a lot of people as long as they can manage with 1.5 bathroom. Stay: We (2 adults, one toddler and one dog), rented it for 3 nights in early March and had a good time relaxing at the house as well as exploring the area. There was a lot of outdoor space to explore with our toddler and throw frisbee for our dog. The outdoor fireplace next to the spa was just perfect to keep us warm. Location: It snowed lightly at that elevation and covered the area in snow dust - a beautiful scene to wake up to especially for a toddler's first snow. As for the area, there are hiking trails with different difficulty levels around the property. Snoparks are only 30-40min drive, Grass Valley only 30min, Truckee just about an hour or less. Check-out: There were hardly any checkout chores as compared to some some other rentals. The instructions were clear in the house rules binder. Overall, the most generously stocked house (number of beds, supplies, amenities, entertainment activities) we have rented so far (since 2013).

Relaxing Stay during our wildfire evacuation.

We were lucky enough that someone cancelled for Labor Day weekend and were able to snag this perfect getaway during a very stressful time, the Caldor Fire. We were evacuated from South Lake Tahoe, Diane called me early in the morning to confirm our booking and let us check in immediately; even giving us the first day gratis. We relaxed while we waited to see if our town was burning down. It didnt! Amazing work by the firefighters and support saving every home in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Thanks again to Diane for welcoming us to her property. Oh, and dont forget the spunky friendly PiperDog! Who greeted us like we were family. Cheers!
