This cabin is the perfect get away. Right on the river, it has everything you need for your stay. We had a wonderful time. Even had a visitor across the river!
The place was very nice and clean and it had everything thing we needed. The location was great,20 minutes drive to kirkwood resort. My friends and I enjoyed staying there.
Everything about this cabin was incredible -- the smells of the timber, the sounds of the stream just off the back patio, the fireplace crackling through the evening. Can't wait to come back again in the future!
We had a great stay with our family of 7 during the holidays. The cabin is delightful and very well-stocked for a vacation home. The location on the river is lovely and relaxing.
One of the best places we’ve stayed in a long time. Great location, friendly neighborhood and inside the cabin was amazing. The owners communicated with us very nicely and promptly over the VRBO app if we had any questions. If you’re looking to stay in the area, this place has to be your choice.
We had a great time- the stay was for a wedding near by. House was great, perfect spot on the river! Unfortunately for us it was a quick in and out for this trip- but would definitely stay again if available! Thanks Rick and Cindy for having such a warm, comfortable home!
We chose the cabin for the location, near snowshoeing trails that are easy to access, and near Desolation Hotel (used to be Sorenson's) which has a cute restaurant.The location worked out perfectly, there is plenty to do nearby or it's a short drive to South Lake Tahoe. The cabin itself is really lovely and well-maintained. The owners were helpful and easy to communicate with. There are baseboard heaters in the bedrooms which keep the cabin a very comfortable temperature in the winter, but do make it quite dry. If your sinuses are sensitive, you might consider bringing a humidifier. Generally speaking, this is a great place to stay for a winter getaway.
This is the cabin of dreams. Solid, well-made, beautiful. The kitchen was very well stocked and included Keurig coffee. The fireplace is as cozy as it gets. Sitting on the deck outside over the flowing river was so relaxing. We would rent this again and recommend it to friends.
Another great vacation in Hope Valley. Wonderful location. Home is beautiful, right next to river, kitchen well stocked with cookware, great owners. Just about perfect!
Our family had a wonderful time at this cabin. The layout of the home was great. Loved all the natural light. The view of the river from the living room and deck was beautiful. We stayed during a snow storm and it was even more magical. We can't wait to go back and experience the fall colors.
This was perfect for our family. Easy access to the River and plenty of fishing opportunities. Hope valley is a beautiful area and a short drive to many pristine mountain lakes.
The cabin was clean, comfortable and had plenty of space indoors and outdoors to enjoy.
We had a lovely stay at the cabin -- it was beautiful, cozy, comfortable, and had the most perfect small kitchen with everything you need. The master bedroom and bath in particular are super lovely and more luxurious than we expected for a cabin home. The view out the windows of the river and mountains is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Came to the area for a wedding from Missouri. It was everything we had hoped for. Just as advertised with plenty of amenities and a great location.
Scenery was beautiful and area was peaceful and quiet.
This place had ALL the amenities that we required. Beautiful cabin, excellent location. plenty of parking. Great fishing! I've stayed in Many VBRO locations. This one has topped the charts. Thanks so much for having such a location available,
Had a great time again with fam and friend. Kirkwood had like an hour of traffic in and out Saturday but no traffic or lines Monday on our way home. Great relaxing day in between on Sunday cross country skiing and sledding right from cabin followed by Super Bowl.
We have returned to this cabin 6 times now with our family and friends. It’s conveniently located next to the river and close toSorensen’s Resort. We also go into south lake Tahoe for a day trip. The home as well equipped cozy and has a beautiful new expanded deck. Highly recommended
We fell in love with this cabin from the moment we walked in! It's absolutely perfect in every way-- the decor, layout, outdoor decks, location on the river, everything! Hope Valley is one of our favorite places to come for a winter trip of cross country skiing, sledding, and playing in the snow with our grandchildren, and we've never found a better place to stay then here. I've already reserved it for another trip in June! Highly highly recommended!!!
