Things to Note:

We keep wood in the garage for $10 for 8 pieces. Please don't take wood without paying. We use the money to replenish the wood for your convenience. Inform me at the end of the stay and you can pay directly on VRBO via credit card or you can Zelle. Please reach out to the host at the end of the stay to inform her how much you owe for replenishing the wood.

We only allow usage of the Washer and Dryer for 5 day stays or more. Please plan accordingly. If that is an issue, reach out to Renee.

During the winter we keep snow shovels in the garage and near the front entrance. We also keep ice melt if needed. Apply it ahead and let it sit so it has time to melt ice off the steps.

We have regular professional pest control, however it is the mountains where spiders and rodents live in the forest.

For emergencies, please notify me immediately even if it is late. We want to do our best to fix any issues that arise in a timely manner. We will keep in mind not to be disruptive to your vacation. We always want to retain the opportunity to handle issues as they arise and before checkout, if logical and possible.

☆☆☆ Please dont forget to check "Other Details To Note" before arriving and Please make sure you read the amenties section too. It helps to know what you do and do not need to bring ☆☆☆

I look forward to hosting your stay!

Wonderful Getaway

Nice, spacious cabin. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. The garage was perfect for storing our UTV and trailer. We were there during a heatwave, so the cool lower-level bedroom was wonderful.

New Year Cabin in the Forest

10 of us stayed here for two nights and had a great time! The property is a beautiful and cozy cabin located a quiet forest neighborhood on the side of a hill. Great place to gather and have fun with friends! No wifi makes it nice to be away from phones and off the grid too!

Summer vacation

We had a wonderful time. The host Renee was extremely kind and responsive/helpful. The house was close to the lake which made for fun days boating, fishing and swimming. It was our first time visiting pinecrest and we will definitely be back! Great deck area to enjoy family time. Kids loved the loft and house had everything we needed.
