Received multiple communications from the Lister, including a call the day we arrived making sure everything we needed was there, if we had questions, and if we were comfortable. The house is lovely, spacious, and clean. Nearly anything you want is available at the cabin already, and the location is amazing. I imagine staying I the summer would be even more amazing.
This cozy cabin near Pinecrest Lake is a gem, offering a perfect blend of modern amenities and rustic charm. With recent updates, it offers a clean and cozy atmosphere, featuring comfortable furnishings and everything you need for a restful stay. The location is ideal, just a short drive to the lake and surrounded by peaceful, scenic woods—perfect for a quiet getaway.
Had the best ever experience at this property. The hosts gave clear instructions, communicated with us on a daily basis. The house has a very well stocked kitchen, rooms were very comfortable and the outdoor deck is large with multiple areas for sun or shade. Highly recommend this property
Four day trip, Fishing & Relaxing
New place for all of us.Great host Great location ,beautiful cabin, close
to everything we needed.
Pinecrest lake for some fishing.
Looking forward to a return visit.
Dennis was awesome from the start, we could not have asked for a better host as well as cabin. Thank you so much Andersons for letting us enjoy our family in the snow.
Well maintain home. We had a great stay with family gathering. During our stay we had a a severe storm and power outage, Generator was blessing. Wonderful home. We will stay again.
Stayed at property with my family and another family for a ski weekend at Dodge Ridge. There was a welcome basket with lots of goodies and the cabin was clean and comfortable. We had plenty of room for both families.
This was by far the best property we've stayed at in the area (been coming here for years). The house is well appointed, comfortable, clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed and the proximity to Dodge is perfect. There was even an amazing gift basket for us and our boys. So thoughtful. We would love to stay again next season!!!
This house is great! Very well appointed with plenty of bedding, towels, games/toys for kids and kitchen supplies. We were a bit worried about no streaming WiFi being available, but we brought some dvds and it all worked out! Location is very convenient ( 15 min drive to Leland and Dodge Ridge); there were more nearby restaurants than we expected. We hope to return some day.
We really enjoyed this home. Beautifully updated, kitchen well stocked, plenty of space for us.
It’s a 3 bedroom home, not 6 bedrooms, but we used the air mattress (huge!) and pull out couch.
Welcome basket was a nice surprise. Host was easy to communicate with and very responsive.
Will definitely rent again!
We had a wonderful vacation in this cabin. Owners were very attentive and responsive, the house was clean and comfortable. Large window in the living room gives a beautiful view of snow covered trees. Short drive to Leland Snow Play. Kids enjoyed safely playing with snow on the gated deck. If we travel back to the area, this is where we will be staying again.
First, I need to say that Dennis & Margie Anderson are phenomenal hosts. They were a huge help when it came to finding other activities to do in the area. They responded to my questions quickly and were very professional, it made our trip all the more stress-free. The cabin was amazing, great location and great environment, if you love to see the sun rising through the trees this is the place for you. The cabin was very clean and had many amenities. I will absolutely be coming back. Thank you again Dennis & Margie!
Upon entering, we were super impressed and noticed the sweet welcome basket, 4 small stuffed bear toys, and kind note hand written by the owner welcoming us. These kind of gestures make such an impact on me. The rest of the place was equally as impressive, clean, spacious, and well stocked. The owner was very easy to get a hold of as well. We love love loved it and would recommend it to anyone of any age range.
We needed a change of scenery after sheltering in place since March. This home was the perfect place for our escape. This beautiful home is close to Pinecrest lake and Dodge Ridge. The home is clean. The owners’ hospitality shines through in their amenities and there care for their guests staying in their home. You really don’t need much but your clothing, tooth brush and food. We enjoyed eating outdoors, playing games as a family, spending time at the lake early before it got too crowded, watching the hummingbirds and relaxing on the deck. This was the perfect home for our getaway.
We booked the cabin for the family getaway after new year. It was a wonderful stay there. Check in was easy. House was very nice and super clean. We were surprised by the welcome gifts. Kids loved the litter bears for them. The house had everything that we needed. We totally enjoyed our time there and would like to come back again! The host Dennis was very responsive the whole time. He was very nice. We forgot a toy at the house and he offered us to mail it back. We really appreciate the extra help here! Definitely recommend!
We came to town for a wedding and enjoyed this beautiful home with our baby! Carefully cleaned, beautiful decorated, and helpful hosts! Everything we needed was readily available and they even left us a baby gate!
We loved our stay at this beautiful home near Pinecrest Lake. During our trip, we noticed that one of the airbeds had a leak and was unusable for us. Dennis went above and beyond and delivered a new bed that day. This home was fully stocked with no detail overlooked. Thank you again!
The Anderson Cabin did not disappoint. The high ceilings and open feeling was such a welcome feeling. The kitchen is awesome with plenty of room for several people prepping and cooking. The bedrooms are all so big and for our family of 10 we all had plenty of room. The host communication was great and they personal touch of a basket with wine and cheese for the adults and little stuffies for the kids was so sweet. We have been coming to Pinecrest Lake for 17 years and this is definitely one of the best places we have stayed.
Enjoyed an awesome quiet relaxed 4 days in this beautiful home, very cozy and spacious. Lots to do up in the area. Hiked Pinecrest lake and did lots of games and puzzles and watched movies. Everyone enjoyed the stay and will highly recommend this cabin to others.

About the host
Hosted by Dennis and Margie Anderson
Growing up as a child, my family would go camping at Pinecrest Lake, Meadow View and the surrounding area. When I grew up, I took my family to the area as well. I fell in love with the Pinecrest area, so much so - that my wife (Margie) and I got married in the garden of the Strawberry Inn, at Strawberry CA., five minutes from the cabin. It was a beautiful wedding. Our life-long dream, was to eventually own a cabin in the area. Our dream came true. In 2019, Margie and I purchased our cabin, the Anderson's Alpine Retreat. We now have the cabin available for other's to enjoy.
Why they chose this property
I'm filling out the Vrbo data information to list this property, and they are asking the following question: "Why This Property" My answer is, why not this property? The Sierra Mountains, are the most beautiful mountain ranges in the country, if not the world. I have driven through the Alps, in Germany, and they don't even compare to the beauty of the Sierra's (as far as I'm concerned). Our cabin is one of the newer cabins in the area, but we have still given it, that rustic feel. The cabin itself is very spacious, over 2,200 square feet.
What makes this property unique
The cabin is far enough away from Hwy 108 that you don't get all of the traffic noise, yet it is close enough to make a quick drive to Pinecrest Lake, Twain Hart, Strawberry, Dodge Ridge, and the local grocery stores. If you stay at our cabin, I might suggest a trip that you will really enjoy: During the spring and summer, you must take a day and drive over Sonora Pass, on Hwy 108. It is such a beautiful drive. Go on in to town of Bridgeport, or visit Bodie, a Ghost Town, near Bridgeport, that has some very interesting buildings.
