Außergewöhnliche Blockhütte (Whirlpool, BBQ, Wi-Fi, TV, Etc)

We came from Sacramento for a family gathering in Green Valley Lake, including our daughter and grandson from England. We loved the cabin. The kitchen appliances all worked, the beds were comfortable, there was extra bedding for the living room couch, the shower has a nice dispenser with bath and hair necessities. We enjoyed meals around the dining table and lively board games there afterward. Our two favorite features were the covered deck (morning coffee, meals at the picnic table, laptops anytime) and the hot tub (sparkling clean and worked perfectly). TV was awesome, and the WiFi worked so well! I have to admit not having a washer was a challenge for a 10-day stay like ours (but I knew that when I booked). Be aware of a few things: 1. the front steps down to the front door are irregular, so watch footing. Just be careful and use the hand rails. 2. it's best to be conservative with amount of t.p. you use. Toilet drains tend to be a bit sluggish in the mountains (especially in downstairs bathroom). 3. Don't expect cell phone reception in this area, unless you have Verizon. With the good WiFi, we Skyped and emailed instead. You can call and text in Arrowbear or Running Springs. The hosts were very responsive, throughout our stay. Check-in and -out was easy-peazy. I had come to Green Valley Lake as a child and was happy to see it is still the same sweet place I remembered...including the pedal boats! :D We would love to come back to this cabin again. Thank you, Jen & Mat!

I rented the cabin for Father's day weekend as my uncle lives in Green Valley Lake and we have a big family get together every year for father's day.. There were 8 of us, and there was plenty of space. It had everything we needed including the jacuzzi which we thoroughly enjoyed.It's a great little cabin that I would rent again. I had one issue with the TV and called the owner who was quick to get back to me..

Upon arrival to the cabin there was a natural gas smell that overwhelmed the kitchen. It was so bad that we had to leave all doors and windows open to air out the house until the owners addressed the problem. Hours later the gas company came out to find that the stove was leaking gas because of a broken knob. This was not a great start to our romantic vacation.

Come dusk it was pouring rain which would have been a great mood changer had there not been multiple leaks suddenly coming from the kitchen ceiling. Upon further inspection we found the upstairs fireplace was flooded as well. With bowls and pitchers catching the leaks we tried our best to enjoy our vacation. We traveled down to the amazing Jacuzzi where the windows opened up, so that we could watch the snow fall. We also enjoyed using the wood burning fireplace.

The cabin itself was nice, but could use some updates. The bathrooms and stove are dated. We made the most of our stay despite the stresses of gas and water leaks. The owners of the cabin were very communicative and addressed the problems in a timely fashion. Despite the hiccups along the way, we did enjoy the quiet setting of the cabin and thoroughly enjoyed the weather during our stay.

Stayed Dec. 23-26, 2017

- Had to buy our own hand soap as there was none in the bathrooms

- If you don’t have a dishwasher, leave guests more than one dish towel and invest in a sink stopper

- On arrival, carpet was filthy — tried to vacuum, but the vacuum was so clogged it barely picked anything up

- Kitchen counters and windows were greasy and dirty upon arrival

- Three rolls of toilet paper provided we’re not enough for a large family over three days

- One roll of paper towels provided

- Instructions for garbage were poorly written. If you’re leaving on a weekday, you’ll need to drive to a pay dump about 20 minutes away — this is communicated nowhere. We had to ask the clerk at the general store.

- On our last day, the cleaning service showed up at 10 and insisted we leave (checkout was 11), and that we were supposed to have left the day before (Sure. We’d be leaving on Christmas Day. Sounds about right).

The cabin is large enough for a good size group. Fireplace is great. Loved the hot tub. The fast wifi is excellent.

I recently had a girls weekend here and we loved it. The pictures are very true to what the actual cabin looks like only its even more adorable in person. It pretty much has everything you could need or want. Very cute, clean, and comfortable for a big group of people. The hot tub area is amazing as well. Also the owners responded quickly and were very helpful when I had a question. The only thing I would say is maybe have a fan or two available as it can get stuffy and warm during the hotter days and the windows or doors don't have screens. I would definitely stay here again though for our annual trip, we had a great experience!
