House was Perfect for our Family Thanksgiving!

This large home met every need we had during our five days during the Thanksgiving week. The kitchen was completely stocked with all we needed for numerous meals at home. The bedrooms and bathrooms easily accommodated all of our family members and their children. We had five adults, 2 young children and 1 baby and we all had plenty of shared space and privacy when needed. We appreciated the cut firewood and starter wood provided. The natural surroundings of the forest were beautiful and we were lucky enough to see some deer very close to the yard! We highly recommend for large groups and would stay here again!!

Private large property in nature

Great large property, lots of space, and most amenities that you would need. This place is private, you do not feel close to neighbors. Nice backyard and patio area, the dog run was perfect. Fireplace was great as it started to get colder. 2 main issues that we ran into that resulted in just a slightly lower rating: 1) cleanliness was an issue, there were cobwebs in the shower, dust everywhere, patio was not clean, it just looked like they were not expecting anyone to stay and did not prepare the place for it (we went in the offseason) - as we pay for a cleaning fee, it was not great to go into the place in that state; 2) some things just didn't work, including the large bathtub (one of the reasons we chose that property in the pictures). Overall, we had a nice stay and would come back, but only after confirming with the owner that the place was properly prepped.

Mi-Wuk vacay 2023

The house is very comfortable with plenty of room to accommodate several people. We our daughter stayed in the basement room with our grandkids it was nice for the babies to go to bed away from the rest of the house so we could stay up later to visit and play games. My parents also came for a couple days and it was nice that the front of the property isn’t too steep for them. The kitchen is stocked with everything you might need. The beds we’re comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Mountain House

The property was wonderful as far as size and we loved the quiet location. There was a lot of personal items in home ie: clothing, toys,stuff in fridge, etc. no place to hang up clothing. The master bathroom sink was clogged, with absolutely no drainage. The linens were not on beds. We found them in a hall closet. I would take my own if renting again. Towels as well. They do supply those but we’re not very comfortable. Pillows were stained and flat. Food in fridge and freezer that I think might be from other renters. Back stairs to yard below could use some work. The basement area was brand new and very nice! We are very clean and a bit picky as the home could use a deep cleaning. Furniture was very nice and comfy in living area! There were 6 of us, all adults, no children and one small dog. Plenty of beds and lots of room! Everything needed for cooking as well. A very large table which would seat 10 nicely.

Perfect family winter getaway

Our stay was wonderful in this home. It was perfect for the kids (3 and 10) and the yard for our dog was great. The house is spacious, it can definitely hold two families easily. The house came stocked with everything needed, including sleds which we enjoyed sledding down the hill on the side of the house. The fireplace was perfect for the cold days and nights. The house was easy to access, and close enough to town while still feeling secluded. We look forward to coming back in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay! One note- the beds weren’t made upon check in, and you have to take your trash with you. We didn’t mind, just wasn’t something we were aware of.

Winter Wonderland

The Smith house was everything we needed and more. It is stocked with plenty of towels and bedding. The kitchen has every gadget you need. We felt right at home. There was plenty of space and we never felt crowded. Loved that there was beds/bedrooms for everyone. The downstairs finished basement was perfect for the kids. The little ones couldn’t get enough of “Alexa”. They had a blast playing in the backyard in the fresh snow we got. Found a little hill in the neighborhood that was perfect for sledding. The owner Mike was readily available and accommodating. Oh and the wooden stove was perfect for keeping the main floor toasty. We hardly used the heater. There was plenty of wood supplied for us. We look forward to visiting again and staying at the Smith house.

Beautiful property and huge house

My husband and I stayed with our five children and my parents and the house was the perfect size for all 9 of us! The pictures didn’t do it justice as to the size and layout. The bottom story (maybe a basement in the past- I’m not sure), was so nice and looked newer and house our three younger boys perfectly with three nice sized beds and a large TV to keep them entertained. There were also several cots and a blow up mattress (we didn’t use them but good to know they are available). The upstairs portion of the house was great with three additional bedrooms and a wonderful outdoor deck. A few things to note, it was hard to make the 11am cutoff for departure time (our mistake for not planning ahead of time) because of the laundry we had to do. The dryer took awhile to dry all three loads of our laundry. The next time we come (and there WILL be a next time), we will do a load or two of laundry the day before. For those that enjoy fishing, the PG&E ditch (the Roth and flumes), which was 9 minutes from the cabin, had EPIC fishing! We took the kids there and caught 21 fish in a few hours! Had a nice trout dinner on our last night. We also took a drive to Arnold (about an hour and 15 minutes away) and went to White Pines park… that was awesome! Smaller lake with no motor boats so all the family could float around in inner tubes all over the lake and it was surprisingly not that crowded. Wonderful summer trip and we plan to visit again during the winter for a white Christmas! Thanks Mike!

Great Place, Lots of Room

Nice place! We traveled up the highway to Beardsley Lake and Fraser Flat, but it was a little smoky from the distant wildfires. There is plenty of room on the property and good privacy. This would be a good place to bring kids.

Fantastic clean and well supplied home

My wife and I have stayed at this home on several occasions. We have also had our adult children come up and stay with us. This is the best supplied home we’ve ever stayed in. It is fully furnished with everything from towels to lots of pots and pans and dishes even Ziploc bags when you need them. It is clear that this is a home not just a rental cabin. You cannot beat the location very private on over 2 acres off the highway even the dogs love the fenced backyard.

We had a great time at your wonderful home! Kids spent the day at Pinecrest jumping from the giant rocks, husband went fishing at Lyons and all of us went to Beardsley. The kids and I spent one day horseback riding at Aspen meadows! We had a fun filled vacation and it was nice to come “home” to an air conditioned house and comfortable beds!

Beautiful cabin in great location

The cabin is very roomy and comfortable. Plenty of seating for everyone and very clean. The view is amazing and it is very private because the forest is the only thing you see from the back. The fenced yard is great for the kids and dogs to play in. We found a lot of snowy hills on the property to slide down. No need to go anywhere. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and plenty of linens and towels. This cabin is our new favorite!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Smith

This is my parents home,they are originally from San Francisco, growing up there and meeting at S.F. State. My Mom worked as an elementary school teacher and Dad worked as an electrician. Scout camping trips year round in the Sierras really warmed us to the area. My parents raised us family on the Peninsula, sent us kids to college, and are now enjoying retirement, and being new grandparents. We wanted to share this beautiful home with others so they might have wonderful weekend and vacation experiences that we were able to create for our family. In the winter you can ski at Dodge Ridge, in the Summer you can go to Pinecrest lake and play on the water. Hiking and camping opportunities galore.

Why they chose this property

Friends and Family live nearby in Twain Harte, and Pinecrest. It's a shorter drive than going to Tahoe from the Bay Area.

What makes this property unique

Snow in the winter, with it skiing, snowboarding, and being nice and snug by a warm fire. Summer has beautiful hikes and boating on nearby lakes. Fresh mountain pine air. It's lovely.
