Memories made!

We had a wonderful weekend. We got turned around at first but Darlene came to us and drove us to the cabin. The cable was out due to the snow and she got someone out right away to fix! PLENTY of snow for the kids and very close to Dodge and casino. We will definitely go through Darlene again for are upcoming getaways!!

Had a nice time... WiFi was difficult

We had a nice time, it was comfortable, everyone had their own room to stay in. The one big downside was the Wi-Fi. I can understand something being slow when you’re in the mountains, but when only one device could connect at a time and there were times when no one count connect at all, it is very frustrating. Especially when you don’t have cell phone service. You could WiFi call to explain the problem if you could connect to the WiFi but it’s slow and there are times your can’t even connect. On the second day of our stay I finally managed to use a WiFi app to see the connection speed. It said 3 devices were connected. I was 1 and no one else in our group was connected. Something was fishy. I had to drive up to Prinecrest just to get service.

Barely any heat and terrible King bed

When we arrived it was 44* in the house and the power to the upstairs heater thermostats was off. The manager came within an hour or so to turn the power back on an program the thermostats, which automatically turned the heat down to 58* 4 x per day! They suggested we use the fireplace for heat and they provided a ton of great firework, but no kindling to start a fire or an ax to cut any wood into kindling. We regularly use a fireplace at home, so we know how to start and keep a fire going, but this was ridiculous. I don't know if it was broken or the chimney needed cleaning, but we could barely get a fire going and it produced little heat. In the end it took over 48 hours for the temperature inside to reach 67* (max temperature allowed by thermostat). Then shortly after the thermostat would reset to 58* and we would have to bump it back up again. Another issue was the King bed. This bed was so concaved in the middle you could see it from across the room. Sleeping on it was so uncomfortable we moved to the twin beds instead. Really disappointing. The view was nice and the neighborhood is amazing, but I'm really shocked and disappointed with the heat issue. We will never rent this or any other house by Pincrestvacationrentals.com again.

Perfect Ski Cabin

What a wonderful cabin for a family ski trip. The proximity to Dodge Ridge is incredible. The kitchen holds what you will need for family meals. The open floor plan is ideal for a group gathering. We were able to squeezing 9 people around the table for dinner. The bedroom set up allows for multiple families. The beds are comfortable. The view from the decks is gorgeous. The lower level pool room is wonderful for game time and provides an additional sleeping space. Driveway easily held two SUV's. The host is organized, provided all information needed ahead of time and was easy to communicate with.

Place was awesome, just don't stay for a couple days. My biggest regret is not staying a week.

Great place and location, just the MapQuest took us on a mari-go-round trying to find the actual cabin. But I'm telling you, the out side decks, game room, kids lost in their own adventure and awe of the place. We forgot toilet paper so had to drive down to get some and the big knives for cutting we're dull but my babies, friends, and family all had a blast and really had fun. I was a bit shocked at how crowded the lake was for as small it is, so with no reception for most, you need to communicate the unloading and parking so to not have to drive around for over an hour trying to find the rest of your party when going to Pinecrest lake. I give a 9.5 or of 10

Darlene, I wanted to thank you for making our trip so enjoyable. the cabin met all of our needs, and everyone had a fabulous time. Plenty of room for all and in great proximity to Pinecrest. It was a very hot week so it was somewhat uncomfortable at night, but it didn't prevent anyone from having a great time. Thanks again. RD

Good house for family getaway

This house fulfills the basic needs of a vacation home; bathroom, beds and a kitchen. Its clean and well kept. A few things around the house could use some updating to help boost ratings and favorability. The location isn’t the best in terms of reception and WiFi but it’s 10 minutes from Pinecrest Lake. The price is great and fit all of my family without breaking our wallets; Overall I’d stay here again. Thanks Darlene!

Old and needs repairs!

Not happy with the kitchen-old utensils and pots and pans must be 40 years old. Upstairs bathroom toilet seat(wood) is split and dangerous and child sized. Many entertainment items listed did not work. Blinds were broken, screens torn and the beds uncomfortable! We will not be renting this cabin anymore.

OK cabin in the woods

This is a nice cabin. Great location for getting to Pinecrest Lake and hiking around Strawberry area. Loved the wood stove, and the house gets very very warm & cozy. Pretty neighborhood. Very quiet, hardly saw a soul. Overall, the cabin could use some updating. The beds are old and rather uncomfortable. Mattresses haven't been changed in years. Springs in your back & a bit saggy. The carpets throughout the house are pretty dirty--it's very low-pile carpet that's beige so you can see the wear and tear. The upstairs bathroom shower stall leaks so you have to be strategic with the angle of the showerhead. The newer bathroom on the main level was nice and had good water pressure. All of the appliances worked well and we enjoyed making Thanksgiving dinner here. I think for the money being charged I would expect a slightly more updated home. There were ZERO and I mean ZERO supplies. Yes, it says it DEEP in the listing about bringing all your own stuff, but I have never had a rental house that didn't provide a starter roll of toilet paper and some dish towels. Luckily I read the fine print and had packed accordingly, but it feels a bit excessive to have to bring your own EVERYTHING. Read the entire listing IN DETAIL. No TP, paper towels, trash bags, dish towels, sponge, dish soap, hand soap etc. TP, dish soap, body soaps (sealed of course, due to covid) and a few dish towels, and a sponge would be more welcoming and would feel less cheap. There are any number of ways to provide the basics in a sanitary way, even during covid. If you can leave silverware and dishes, I'm sure you can provide hand & dish towels, especially because there is a washer & dryer (bring your own soap) onsite. All of the appliances work, but they are VERY old, so I would suggest an update merely for the energy efficiency and cost savings alone. Also that one child lock on the lower cupboard and not a single other one is an annoyance. You keep trying to open it over and over again. Just take it off. Overall nice place, good location, but in need of updating and some TLC.
