Wonderful place to stay.

This property was perfect for our annual family getaway. Very clean and welcoming from the decor to the comfy bedding. The house had great amenities for kids and adults. This cabin in the woods was voided our favorite of all we have ever rented. Everyone had plenty of room and the views were breathtaking.

Hudson Cabin Family Getaway

We absolutely loved staying in the incredible Hudson Cabin. There was enough room for over a dozen family members to spread out, cook together, hang out in the hot tub and play loads of games together. We rented a pontoon to enjoy the lake one day of our trip and spent the rest lapping in peace and luxury. Can’t wait to come back!

**Absolutely Wonderful Mountain Getaway!** We had such an amazing stay at this beautiful mountain cabin! From the moment we arrived, everything was **spotlessly clean, comfortable, and welcoming**. It was clear that the hosts take great pride in maintaining the property and making sure their guests have everything they need for a relaxing stay. The hosts were truly **exceptional**. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish—they were incredibly responsive, helpful, accommodating, and easy to work with. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and they went above and beyond to make our stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. The cabin was also **very kid-friendly**, which made it such a great choice for our family. Parking was easy and convenient, and access to the property was straightforward, which made arriving and settling in completely stress-free. Overall, this was exactly the kind of mountain escape we were hoping for. **Beautiful, clean, family-friendly, convenient, and hosted by genuinely wonderful people.** We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful mountain getaway. **Five stars all around!**

Relaxation with a view

A prime location! This beautiful cabin sits in privacy with the most amazing lookout for spectacular sunsets! We were spoiled by everything the cabin offered! Such a warm stay with everything you need to enjoy your time away! It felt like home and what we needed. On our last evening we were even treated by a visit from a family of deer in the backyard - simply majestic! Thank you for the communication, recommendations, and such a wonderful stay! Hope to see you again soon!

This place is a dream!

What a beautiful house! Plenty of space, cozy and clean, fully equipped, and exactly as pictured. You can tell that the owners love this place and it shows. If you want to feel like a welcome guest at your best friend’s mountain retreat, then look no further! A few minutes drive gets you to the town and all of the fun lake activities. The host replies quickly and has lots of tips. Thanks for the memories. We will definitely be back!

This Cabin Has It All

We had a wonderful stay at The Great Escape Cabin and would highly recommend it to anyone! The cabin is located in the ideal location, only 5 minutes from town, 10 minutes to Shaver Lake & Camp Edison, and 30 minutes to both the Mariposa Sequoia Grove and Dinkey Creek. The cabin itself is modern, clean, and full of all the amenities a family could want. Having a large yard with a deck, privacy, and great views was a huge plus for our family since we have young children. We’ve been doing an annual summer cabin stay with our friends for the past 4 years and this was by far the best cabin we’ve stayed in. Thank you for a great stay, we hope to be back next year!!
