Once Again

We love this house. This was our 3rd stay at this home. Even though there was no snow this trip there was plenty of activity for the whole family.

Great house and even better hosts!

We've had several annual trips and reservations hosted specifically through the cabinhost homes. Jamie has consistently provided the best communication and is very helpful when it comes to questions and goes above and beyond to ensure we feel welcome. Each house comes fully stocked with amenities and extra gifts. We specifically reserve homes that are hosted by Jamie/thecabinhost each year. This house has a great open floor in the common areas (dining, kitchen, and family room) where we gather each night. There's plenty of space around the property for our young kids to enjoy sledding. It's small enough where they can climb up themselves and slide down. The backyard is big and spacious. This is the third time we have stayed at this particular house. Unfortunately, the previous tenants or a neighbor did not clean up after their dog and the backyard was littered. We had to pick it up before the kids stepped on it. Overall, I still would book this house again. Our families had alot of fun playing in the snow and made wonderful memories during our stay. Thank you Jamie!

Priceless

Jamie has hosted my family before and knows exactly what our family damanic is. So out all the Amazing cabins she hosts she recommend the "Great Escape" where she said my family would be most comfortable.....my son was home from Airforce and it was soooooooo important that my family spent quality time before he deploys. The Cabin was priceless and beyond our expectations!!! We really felt like we were at home and lacked nothing everything was A A A AMAZING......i cant believe they would rent out such a personal cabin with everything in it that you would possibly need!!! Jamie actually cares about the experience she helps create for the families that she host!!! I give 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stars out of five!!!! Cant express in words how greatful we are for our " Cabin Host"

Hudson Cabin Family Getaway

We absolutely loved staying in the incredible Hudson Cabin. There was enough room for over a dozen family members to spread out, cook together, hang out in the hot tub and play loads of games together. We rented a pontoon to enjoy the lake one day of our trip and spent the rest lapping in peace and luxury. Can’t wait to come back!

The Great Escape was absolutely amazing!! We throughly enjoyed staying there. After spending days at the lake coming back to relax at this cabin was perfect.

This Cabin Has It All

We had a wonderful stay at The Great Escape Cabin and would highly recommend it to anyone! The cabin is located in the ideal location, only 5 minutes from town, 10 minutes to Shaver Lake & Camp Edison, and 30 minutes to both the Mariposa Sequoia Grove and Dinkey Creek. The cabin itself is modern, clean, and full of all the amenities a family could want. Having a large yard with a deck, privacy, and great views was a huge plus for our family since we have young children. We’ve been doing an annual summer cabin stay with our friends for the past 4 years and this was by far the best cabin we’ve stayed in. Thank you for a great stay, we hope to be back next year!!

What a beautiful home!

We loved this home. Beds were comfy & great location with great views! The only complaint that I have is that the house doesn’t have central AC and that was what I was expecting. The master stays cool because of the portable cooler that’s in there but other than that the house was very warm and uncomfortable in the afternoon/evening so therefore I gave it 4 stars. We would go back but not in this heat.

This place is a dream!

What a beautiful house! Plenty of space, cozy and clean, fully equipped, and exactly as pictured. You can tell that the owners love this place and it shows. If you want to feel like a welcome guest at your best friend’s mountain retreat, then look no further! A few minutes drive gets you to the town and all of the fun lake activities. The host replies quickly and has lots of tips. Thanks for the memories. We will definitely be back!

Warm and Inviting

We took our annual before Christmas get together with all our kids and grandkids. This property was by far one of the best places we’ve stayed. The house was well equipped with everything and anything you could need! Everything was comfortable and cleaned. The location is phenomenal and the outdoor area and yard was amazing we spent quite a bit of time out there! The home was decorated for Christmas tree and all which was the icing on the cake!

Such an awesome cabin with great hangout spots, kids loved the hot tub after a cold day at the lake. Fresh flowers and a bottle of wine was a very nice thought, the cabin was very clean inside and out.... so glad to see it was spared in the recent fires. I would highly recommend this spot to any small gathering, very comfortable !!!!
