Great Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at Alexander's cabin. The house and the property were very nice and clean, there was plenty of room, and the place was well stocked with the essentials. A short drive to the lake made for a great trip. Will definitely consider staying here again if we are in the area.

Great Property in a Great Location

We get our family together every year, and this year it was in wonderful Pollock Pines. The check-in process was very easy and the house fit everyone well. The tire swing in the back was a big hit with kids and adults alike!

Beautiful property. Well maintained. Had everything we needed. Tons of activities to do on site including games, hiking, lake access, rope swing, rock climbing wall, and more. Close proximity to grocery store and day trip to South Lake Tahoe is a must. My family can’t wait to return!

What a wonderful stay!

We had planned on using the house as home base for outdoor activities for 4 adults and 2 teens, but the weather had something else in mind. We experienced rain during much of our visit and had to hole up in the house. However, the fireplace, TV area on the second floor made it a wonderful place to hang out. Highly recommend!

Amazing cabin

Our entire family enjoyed the swing together, seeing who could swing the highest, sitting on the deck, bbqing, laughing playing games in game room and the pool table brought back so many fun memories! We felt at home! We want to come back next summer!

New Year’s Stay

Brought in the new year with family at this beautiful house! We had such a good time relaxing in front of the fire, making meals in the big kitchen, and shooting some pool. Alex was also great, showing us around the house and answering any questions. This is a spot we will definitely return to!

wonderful retreat

The house was spacious and welcoming, and well-stocked with supplies. The kayaks, paddleboard and floaties were a big plus as was the proximity to the lake. Pool table and games provided fun social time for all ages. Alex promptly answered all my questions. Everything was in place, so our group only had to enjoy our time together. Would come again.

Pictures don’t do it justice.

We had a great time. It was so relaxing. There was so much that was provided which I didn’t expect. The house was very clean and organized. Originally we were going to bring our dogs, but I didn’t want to worry about them with having 2 young children too. The dogs would have done fine with the way the property is fenced off so now I know for next time. We slept in master bedroom with our 2 year old and 10 month old and couldn’t hear anything upstairs which was great.

Gorgeous log cabin with all the amenities

My husband and I traveled here from Arizona to visit our kids and grandkids and celebrate our newest grandchild’s first birthday. Our family loved all the games & activities in a beautiful, thoughtfully appointed cabin & setting, making memories that will last a lifetime. Our conversations around home cooked meals and in front of the huge river rock fireplace were topped off only by the gently falling snow, visible from the numerous tall windows. It was all quite breathtaking!

Our Favorite Vacation Home

Just wow! The property is stunning. And the house has such a wonderful cabin vibe. So much space for kids to sleep (there are foldout couches in the play room). We loved the outdoor swing and played on it for hours. The property is fenced so dogs can run around. Also stocked with everything you could possibly need. So many small details that made the stay lovely including the medecine cabinet and fun magazines to read. Highly recommend!! We’ll be back!

Incredible place for a family gathering

We came here from Virginia to meet up with our two kids and their families and my wife's nephew and his family. The house is very well stocked with bath towels, beach towels, basic spices, games, and water toys for the lake. There are multiple places to gather -- front porch, reach deck, game room, living room -- so we never felt like we were on top of one another. We had 8 people for four days and 11 for 3 days. We want to come back!

Cozy

Overall, the stay was perfect. Adults/teens enjoyed the game room. We had a toddler who enjoyed exploring outside. The house was nicely organized and stocked with essentials. The location was convenient and close to the grocery store, lake, and apple hill. It rained during our stay, but that was okay! The house was comfy, and staying in was not a problem. This was a nice mini getaway for us - thanks for sharing your cozy home!

Great location

Great location and property. We love the swing. We love the pool table and poker table. We enjoy the place. It was a beautiful cabin. Will definitely book again in the future. The place was in the forest so obviously there are lots of bugs and mosquitoes. Make sure to bring bug spray. Most of the beds are comfortable but not the sofa beds. I think that’s because they’re just old.

Fabulous Family Fun Time

We loved staying at this house with our extended family. The many sleeping options gave us the flexibility to give everyone a great nights rest. We really appreciated all the smaller details they had onsite like shampoo, trash bags, baggies, bug spray and laundry soap. It felt like a home and we didn't have to spend time heading to the store to refill these items. We were there 4th of July weekend and were lucky enough to get to enough Sly Lake because they included their annual pass with the rental when the lake was full to all day users. The AC units also kept up with the 114 degree heat wave which was the most fabulous surprise about this home. Thanks for thinking of all the details Alex!
