Ski trip

The house was a perfect short stay rental with all the bell and whistles. The house was decorated very cute with everything you need for cooking. The house had a hot tub, swings, horse shoes and board games to keep our 2 and 5 year old kids occupied. we went skiing and sledding at bear valley which is about a 45 minute drive

Lovely & Peaceful!

Our stay was too short! We loved our time at the lake, our time on the back deck for breakfast & dinners and the layout of the cabin was very nice. The kitchen was large and had all the necessities for cooking at home which we enjoy doing with our family gatherings. I would highly recommend this place for small groups.

Naughty Pines Palace (as shown on the robes provided)

This is one of the nicest cabins I’ve stayed at in Lakemont Pines. Beautifully furnished with everything up-to-date. Cupboards and drawers filled with every utensil you could possibly need or want. Beautiful, well furnished deck and the hot tub was a real plus. Air conditioning was also a bonus. The only negatives were very minor: definitely not much curb appeal and a little bit too close to the neighbors.

Lovely stay in a perfect house

We enjoyed this house so much! The perfect design for a family stay. Great living space, spacious kitchen, nice beds. Just a short walk to the lake, short drive to the club house/beach. Easy in and out driveway. We enjoyed the back deck every morning and evening. *not a deal breaker but the dishes weren’t clean, had to wash a lot of things before use*

Great Gold Country Home

We had a fabulous time at the Knotty Pine! The location was great for wine tasting, golf and hiking. We also had some delicious meals at local restaurants. The house is beautiful, with a well stocked kitchen, nice sitting areas in the great room and deck and a washer/dryer. Our pal from Scotland really enjoyed the trip too! We will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!
