Very nice property with a great view, and amazing game room on the lower level. It needed a little more cleaning (refrigerator, dishes, kitchen items) and a few repairs (disposal) plus maintenance items (paper products ran out), but otherwise a great home for a family vacation. Very comfortable and accommodating overall.

Mountain Lodge Family Retreat

Enjoyed our stay at the mountain lodge and would love to go back. It has a great game room in the basement that our family loved and plenty of room for all 10 of us. Kitchen is well stocked too. It’s in a good location close to Pinecrest, Twain Hart, and Sonora.
