Strawberry, Pinecrest, Dodge Ridge Riverfront Estate! Wow!

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 6 adults and 4 kids had a really FABULOUS time at the Briner's! Weather was gorgeous and the house was super spacious and comfy. It was also easy walking to the Strawberry Store and restaurant which everyone liked. Jim was extremely responsive when I had questions. Probably one of the best Hosts I have ever dealt with. LOVED the deck by the river. If you go, definitely bring your own small, propane only fire bowl since wood fires are a big no-no in the mountains. House is original sugar pine paneling so it can be dark in the inside spaces but there is overhead track lighting. There are lots of games to play for everyone . Kids' favorite was Cat Bingo! Bring extra dish towels and zip locks, foil and saran if you are cooking for a large group! My family and I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Many thanks to the Briners!"
