From the moment you enter the gate and wind down into this hidden valley, you'll feel transported to a simpler era—think childhood summer camps in the Sierras, with the sweet scent of sugar pines, the chorus of bullfrogs by the lake, and a star-studded night sky unspoiled by city lights. This is a true four-season haven: Spring bursts with wildflowers and lush green meadows; Summer invites lazy lake days, deck lounging, and warm evenings under the stars; Fall dazzles with golden leaves, apple orchards, and crisp air; and Winter blankets everything in snow, perfect for fireside coziness after a day on the slopes.
Step inside and embrace the alpine charm of an Austrian or Swiss ski lodge, with custom pine woodwork, vaulted ceilings, and rustic elegance throughout. The spacious living room is your gathering spot for family game nights or friend reunions, anchored by a wood-burning stove that radiates warmth on chilly evenings. Each bedroom is a serene sanctuary for unwinding—curl up with a book, nap in peace, or simply soak in the cabin vibes.
The fully equipped kitchen makes meal prep a breeze, stocked with pots, pans, appliances, and utensils for everything from quick breakfasts to gourmet dinners. Fire up the new Char-Broil BBQ for al fresco feasts, or relax in the covered gazebo on the deck—your shaded outdoor oasis for summer afternoons.
When adventure calls, Sierra Park delivers with its own playground, basketball court, and private lake for swimming or fishing. Venture nearby to Twain Harte for golf, pickleball, or charming shops. Explore endless outdoor thrills: Hike stunning trails, horseback ride through meadows, boat or fish on Pinecrest Lake, or cast a line at Kennedy Meadows. Yosemite National Park is just a breezy day trip away. In winter, hit the family-friendly slopes at Dodge Ridge—known for its affordable lift tickets, short lines, and beginner terrain—or enjoy snow play at Leland Meadows. It's all about low-key fun, far from Tahoe's bustle.
Whether you're a Bay Area tech family needing a quick recharge or Monterey Peninsula explorers seeking authentic Sierra serenity, this spot lets you truly unplug and reconnect with nature. High-speed WiFi keeps you connected if work beckons, but our hope is you'll leave the screens behind and make memories that last. The drive up—past Oakdale's rolling hills, horse ranches, and golden pastures—is a scenic treat in itself. Book now and claim your slice of Sierra paradise!
