This place was perfect for two families going to Bear Valley for some ski racing this past weekend. Tons of beds and space. The kitchen was outfitted and the place was immaculate. We had so much fun there and a lot had to do with the comfortable and inviting space that Dave provided.

Great spacious cabin in a very quiet area. The extras made it special, from the provided equipment which made it special for my daughter playing in the front, to the drum set that my boys could not stop playing, this was a cool experience. We were minutes from tall trees state park which made a great day trip and then hanging out playing games with the family at the cabin, everything was perfect. Property was clean and comfortable, made for a great getaway for the weekend. The host was very accommodating and helpful with everything we needed. We can’t wait to visit again!

Had to cancel due to a big storm that closed the roads and made travel too dangerous in the Sierra but the host was exceptional! We were in frequent communication and he really had our safety and best interest in mind. We rescheduled the trip and the family is anxious to enjoy the time at the property in the near future.

The storm was bad, it shut down power in the region for 5 days. There was downed trees. The roads were closed two days into the guest stay, so they could not access the cabin. I also could not get cleaners in there. The local roads where not plowed. There was at least 5 feet of snow. I communicated early on to the guest that there was an oncoming storm and had clear communication on the status, and at one point decided mutually to cancel. I am happy the guest rebooked. Note the cabin did have power because of the generator. In the end it worked out and the guest rebooked. I thank Michael for the positive review in a difficult situation.

My family and I have been visiting Big Trees Village for years. My wife’s grandparents built a cabin here in 1980 in which they lived and vacationed for over 20 years. Big Trees has a special place in our hearts and we try to come back with our family every few years to reminisce and create new memories.Dave’s Den had everything our family needed. We were able to share meals at the large dining table and deck tables each night, play pool and games together in the loft, stay up watching TV together in the comfortable living area, and sleep soundly on the very comfortable beds. Dave thought of everything, including WiFi and a computer, TVs with streaming services in each room, BTV recreation center passes, pool towels, and loads of sports equipment to enjoy outdoors as well. He was very responsive to our questions and accommodating to our specific needs. (Thanks!)This was the perfect family cabin in a great location in Big Trees Village! We will be back!

Great time

We had a nice time in this property. Weather was very nice even though it was peak summer. The property is surrounded by trees and that helped to stay cool in the night. Lot of games to play in the house, community swimming pool and outdoor games nearby.

Four of us (all adults) stayed, and had a wonderful time! The place was clean and comfortably set up for guests. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and cookies. The place is very well-stocked with coffee, snacks, and condiments in the fridge. The upstairs loft is a huge game room and a great place for kids to hang out. David was easy to communicate with, and very responsive. Thank you David for your hospitality. We’ll be back!

We had a small family reunion with three generations--from 3-70 yrs old. Dave's house was a fit for all. We especially appreciated the extremely well-stocked kitchen--from tools and utensils to staples and treats. It made fun family meals convenient and enjoyable.The surrounding area was peaceful and gorgeous. And, of course, the location is just the best home base for day trips to lakes, hikes, caverns and Columbia old west fun. Great stay!

The host David is great! Lots of communication to make sure we had everything we needed and very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. The Den was clean, warm, inviting, and most importantly relaxing. I can't praise this host and location enough. Everything for our extended family visit was great. Don't hesitate to book this one! We stayed over Thanksgiving week 2025 and were able to easily cook up Thanksgiving dinner in the well stocked kitchen. We will definitely be back.
