Our Mountain Setting:
Welcome to true mountain living! Our home offers a wonderfully authentic Sierra experience, which means we trade city sidewalks for forest trails. Being surrounded by nature means that local wildlife and insects are our neighbors. We do everything we can to keep the indoors pristine—including routine professional pest services—but stray bugs or an outdoor critter is always a possibility in a remote environment. For those who appreciate a true escape into nature, this is the perfect retreat.
Please note: This home is located on a shared property with another rental. Guests enjoy privacy within the home and designated areas, but the land is shared. Please respect other renters in their own accommodations.
