Thank you for sharing your home!
We had a very relaxing stay at this property. The house is the perfect size for a large group, (we had 4 couples), and the location is perfect for a weekend in the sierra foothills. Check-in was a breeze. My only recommendation would be to have your cleaners check some of the pots/pans/dishes in cabinets- we found many of them that were still dirty but put away for use. Thank you so much!

Disappointed, property was not as advertised , their should not be a hot tub picture at all
Hot tub was not operable at all, area around fire pit had 4 deep holes with large sticks protruding , safety concern , kitchen cooking pans in poor condition And dirty. BBQ in substandard . condition , flattop very dirty . 2 charcoal Units not serviced, full of burned coals, no coals available to even utilize . I was disappointed with this home, especially for the price. We entered the property via an unlocked door with the key left inside. Security risk.

Forest house wedding
This place was perfect for a “home base” for my son’s wedding at forest house lodge. It was 100 degrees and the house was great to hang out in to keep cool after wedding rehearsal. We had family, cousins, uncle and pet staying with us. Everything was self explanatory and very easy to use. It was big enough to gather while we try to kill time before wedding.

Gorgeous home with rural feel close to town
We stayed in Gilberts home for my wedding weekend and it was perfect. The photographer ended up choosing to take quite a few photos there because of all of the beautiful details. The beds were comfy and the master shower was really cool. We're now planning yearly family retreats there! Thanks Gilbert!

Communication was terrible with host
The good: -the location. Close to the wedding venue, close to a store that had anything we needed (along with a deli inside) - size house/ land. Very spacious, plenty of room for all cars in driveway. Plenty of area to throw a ball around, or hang outside. House layout was nice, very large open areas. Great for big family/friends to socialize and not be on top of one another. The bad- -extremely poor communication with the host. We had booked for 2 nights (Wednesday-Friday). Then over three weeks prior to check in I asked if we could extend one night, to check out on Saturday. He said yes, to just leave cash or check in kitchen for the additional night. Less than 48 hours prior to us checking in he messaged me and says “sorry you need to leave Friday, I was double booked” This was a huge hassle for us, we had the wedding events until late on Friday. I asked if we could at least check out a little later on Friday (we had a brunch and pictures) He said absolutely no, check in/out times are set. I explained to him the predicament he put us in, and he was not helpful at all. He kept blaming the companies he uses for the over booking. And while MAYBE it’s true, there was no offer to help us for the inconvenience. I should have seen the red flag when the additional night was not done through VRBO for the extension. - The pillows were flat, the master closet had extras. All of which had large brown stains. The towels are old. Recommend bring your own towels/pillows!

Like I said house was double booked check out time was 11 and new guest check in at 2 , there wasn’t much I could do , this is a million dollar Home leaving a poor review because you didn’t pre book enough days and not taking any of responsibility I think is wrong , thank you for informing me of towels and pillows I replace them every 3 month

Nice space for larger families
The house was comfortable for our short stay for a wedding weekend. Rooms are comfortable, as was the living room for relaxing. The host attempted to fix a reservation double booking. Lots of artwork and personal pictures hung which some guests may enjoy, while others may consider it a turn-off if you are looking for a more "professional" interior. Host was attentive to texts/emails.

Mountain Gem
Was in Foresthill for a wedding. The options are pretty scarce, and a bit woodsy for my comfort level. This place was comparably beautiful though. Marble, recessed lighting, comfy beds. Loved the art. Appreciate that they left a baby gate out so I could block my 1 1/2 year old from going up the stairs, and that Disney+ was available to watch. The front stairs were a little challenging for my 90 year old grandma, but that wasn’t on the home owners. Plenty of parking. I would stay here again if I was ever in Foresthill.

Our family usually camps during the Thanksgiving holiday, with that a new little one in our family this year we decided it would make more sense to stay somewhere warm. Gilbert’s home was beautiful and more than we expected from the moment we were in the driveway. The living room was cozy and perfect to fit our family of 10 to watch movies. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped for us to make our feast. Each of the bedrooms were warm and inviting. We had so much fun playing pool and taking advantage of the beautiful balconies and the AMAZING backyard! We were even close enough to walk to the local grocery store. We loved our stay!

Great place for a large group
We stayed here, 6 people and an infant, for a local wedding. Plenty of space, nice kitchen and living area. As others have mentioned, AC doesn’t totally cool the upstairs bedrooms, bring a couple fans! Secure, fenced backyard for all except the smallest dogs, accessible from a gate outside the house. No carpeting, so very clean, but you can hear the people in the upstairs bedrooms if they get up at night. We should have put the couple with the infant downstairs!

Large Clean Updated House
This listing is pretty accurate to what the house provides. It is a large home that definitely fits many guests. It has a great upstairs game room with a pool table and space to place boardgames and cards. The kitchen was updated and had most amenities to cook all meals. All the bedrooms were large and clean. There are neighbors past the driveway towards the back of the property and the backyard was gated and locked. You really don't need this extra space in the back because of the size of the home and the front yard/porch area. We stayed there in the summer and it was quite hot. Having the AC no lower than 78 made it a bit uncomfortable at times, even with all the large ceiling fans. Location is good, about 30 mins to Suagr Pine Reservoir and 5 minutes from town. Overall, I would book again and we enjoyed our stay. The home is welcoming and from the pictures looks like a wonderful family.

My family and a few close friends stayed here ahead of our wedding. The house is large and inviting and the owner was very communicative. We did not have access to the hot tub or backyard fire pit and did not know that would be the case, but it didn't damper our good time. The house was clean and comfortable.

Very Interesting
Our family rented this property for a wedding we were all attending nearby. House is very unique. We enjoyed the horseshoes out front. Owners and "groundskeeper" respond very quickly. Check in and check out process were extremely easy. The only thing we were disappointed in was we assumed by the pictures there was a creek in the backyard area. Everything else was good.

Family wedding trup
Our son was getting married in Foresthill and we were looking for a place that would accommodate our extended family for the festivities. This home fit the bill perfectly! There were 10 of us staying and was plenty of room to spread out and we never felt crowded. Plenty of cookware and dishes for a large group. The pool table was a fun addition to an otherwise very comfortable home. We would stay again.

We truly enjoyed our stay. It was located 5 minutes from the Veterans Memorial hall in Foresthill where we were in a wedding.

Spacious home located in a quiet neighborhood a short drive from Foresthill. Our extended family was able to spread out and have plenty of room. Furniture and beds were very comfortable, kitchen well equipped for simple meals and snacks for all. Enough bathrooms for pre- wedding celebration primping. Family members enjoyed playing billiards.

Family wedding
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Foresthill house. Gilbert is great to work with; A+ host! A few things were not working when we were there (gas fireplaces and jacuzzi tub in master bath) and a few things could use an upgrade (pillows, dish towels) which was a bit of a bummer given how beautiful the place is, we still felt cozy and comfortable. Road into the place was never obstructed due to snow or ice but later in the season, chains may be needed.
