The communication with Shannon was great. The house/cabin is clean, comfortable, and has plenty of space. We primarily go to Pinecrest to fish and it’s nice to drive 5 minutes back and forth between the house/cabin and the lake. Spacious deck with a nice view of the river. We highly recommend staying here.

Great stay next to Dodge Ridge

Was not prepared for the dining options to largely be closed M-Wed, perhaps that seasonal and only in winter. Had a great stay at the property, communication was clear with property manager.

Perfect spot

This house is exactly what the perfect fit for our trip of 4 adults,one kid,and a dog. We came up to the snow to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary (they met skiing) and this place checked every box. It's in our favorite neighborhood in Strawberry, it's an easy drive to skiing and snow play, it's high enough altitude to turn into a winter wonderland after one small storm, and the house itself is homey, comfortable, cozy, clean, and well stocked. The fact that there are two rooms with comfortable king sized beds is enough to give our stay 5-stars all on its own. That's so rare to find and such a win because a good night's sleep can make or break a trip. Also finding a dog and kid friendly spot that is so clean and well kept and outfitted with comfortable and tasteful touches is such a pleasure as you often have to sacrifice some of those things, especially when traveling with a pet. The little dog ramp from the back deck to the back yard was such a charming touch as well and would have been ideal if our dog hadn't been a bit too big and scared to try it :). We really wouldn't have changed a thing and I expect we will be back again. Highly recommend.

All kitchen appliances, cooking tools and dishes were dirty. Almost all furniture and fixtures were several weeks past needing to be dusted. At least one of the beds did not have fresh sheets as evidenced by kids socks inside the bed sheets.

Very welcoming space close to the Pinecrest Lake

We reserved this space to attend a family reunion nearby. The space was welcoming and cozy - we loved the kitchen and the deck. Our dog had great fun going up and down the pet ramp in the backyard! I definitely recommend this space for families or small groups.

Tranquil time of the year

Over all was a great stay and fit for the size of family that attended all stated they liked this place much better than another location that was picked from last year. I noticed favorite spot was the bay window overlooking the back next to kitchen seen just staring at the big beautiful trees.
