About this property

Riverfront Luxury Cabin, Dodge Ridge, Strawberry, Pinecrest

Spectacular Location, riverfront, in the middle of one of the most beautiful stretches of white water in California - small quiet beaches along river. Very close to Pinecrest and Dodge Ridge. Strawberry with the South Fork of the Stanislaus River running through it and its large meadow is a truly idyllic gem. Overlook is very private with river in front and forest on two sides. It is well appointed and was totally remodeled in 2004. All the creature comforts yet cabin living. With Overlook you get it all: natural beauty, whitewater, privacy, comfort, any season of the year.

White Christmas
From the moment we opened the front door, we were amazed at the view. The snow on the trees and running water of the river below made it picture perfect! The common area was cozy, and the home was large enough for us to also spread out. The game room was a lot of fun! We enjoyed spirited poker games, ping pong and pool! We will definitely be back! Thanks Dennis!

Family Vacation
We absolutely love the Overlook cabin. It’s nestled into a very quiet court on the Stanislaus river. There are so many things to do in the area. We enjoyed the lake, hiking, fishing, river walks, and having a beautiful place to relax in. The overlook had all of the amenities we needed. Sitting on the deck in the early mornings watching the sun come up over the river, priceless.

We love staying at Overlook. This is the second year we have visited, to this the Overlook, and plan to continue more years in the future. The family loves the access to the river, the quaintness of the cabin and the familiarity of the location. Thanks you Dennis for another fantasitic visit to Strawberry this year.

Our family enjoyed another peaceful and relaxing stay at this great property! Dennis is a terrific host and the cabin was perfect for our get-away to the mountains. The river was so high this year! We loved seeing and hearing the rush of water while sitting on the deck. Wonderful long weekend!

Wonderful Cabin
We had a wonderful first stay at the Overlook Cabin. The house was very clean and comfortable. While the river was extremely high and cold and not possible to get into it provided a wonderful backdrop for our stay. We will be back!

Overlook Cabin in Strawberry
We enjoyed our week at the Overlook Cabin in mid-May. Great location, the cabin is right above the S. Fork of the Stanislaus River. River was running high and fast with record Sierra snow melt, we could see and hear it clearly as it roared by. House had everything we needed and plenty of hiking is available right outside the door or within a few miles. Will definitely be back.

Listen to the River
My husband, adult daughter and I had a wonderful 3-night stay at Overlook Cabin. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed. The absolute highlight of this cabin is its location, perched above the beautiful south fork of the Stanislaus River. We could scramble down to the river’s edge and take a lovely stroll through the forest, right from the door of the cabin. We hated to leave. Highly recommended!

Overlook!!!
This is a truly beautiful cabin set just above the Stanislaus River. The setting is gorgeous and the cabin was perfect for our family. The pine wood paneling is beautifully done with loads of natural light and huge windows to take in the natural beauty that surrounds this gem. Dennis was easy to communicate with. A stones throw from the mountain for skiing with easy access making for long enjoyable days on the slopes. We will definitely be back. We’ve stayed a number of places in the area over the years for winter ski trips and The Overlook is by far our fav. Thanks so much for a memorable week! Can’t wait to return!!!

Overlook is Divine
I love Strawberry and the Overlook Cabin. Beside the fact that it is really a gorgeous cabin, totally outfitted with everything you’d need with top of the line stuff, it is in a wonderful setting with the beautiful Stanislaus River flowing by. My only quibble is that Verizon coverage was very spotty and there is no internet. Once you accept that, it is heaven!

No essentials provided & Unclean & No privacy
Upon arrival, we found there were no sheets on beds, no towels, and no toiletries in bathrooms. After searching cabinets, we found some worn-out towels and overused blankets—some of which were dirty. I spent the entire evening doing laundry and setting up beds. There was no shampoo or body wash. Lacking of items that are inexpensive yet essential for guests caused significant inconvenience, especially in a rural area. This is the first time in 20 years we encountered a situation like asking renters to bring everything. Since this is NOT standard practice, it should be CLEARLY outlined on the VRBO listing and communicated very WELL to renters.As no comforters were provided, we tried to rely on the heating system, but the cabin's heating was uneven. My son experienced a nosebleed due to the high temperature in the living room, but it was still cold in the bedrooms so that we had to rely on multiple blankets, some of which had black mold-like spots that could not be washed out.Lack of blinds on most windows and all exterior doors posed privacy issues. The cabin’s location on a slope makes it easy for anyone outside to look in. We had to turn off the lights while showering or going to bed to ensure privacy.After I shared my concerns with the host, but the response was disappointing. Rather than addressing the issues constructively, we got retaliatory and unwarranted accusations. I hope this feedback helps address these issues and leads to improvements for future renters.
