We had a lovely stay and a white Christmas! The cabin is so inviting, well kept, and well decorated. Exactly as described in the listing. Plenty of room for our family to sleep. Beds were comfortable, and extra bedding provided in case you are cold at night! The host communicated very well and made sure to have shovels and salt available for the snow. Highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at your beautiful well kept cabin! The cabin is well decorated, bear totems, nice energy with high wood ceilings. The location is great, a quick drive to the activities in S. Lake Tahoe. We came during Labor Day weekend so balancing the crowds/traffic made this cabin delightful to return to each night and wake up to every morning. The cozy fireplace, the deck overlooking the forest and all the nice glasses to use for wine/beer made us all happy. Thank you to the owners! Namaste
