Treetop Getaway in the Ponderosa Pines

This well maintained cabin sits on 3/4 acres ready for your exploration. This bright open concept 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom vacation rental enjoys amazing views of the local mountain peaks. Living spaces and bedrooms are on separate floors. Two large covered decks, one on each level offers great views. Wood ceilings and mountain decor bring outdoor living indoors. Neat, clean and ready for your downtime!

Note: Picture of the master bedroom shows a TV. This TV is no longer on the property.

Thank you for your interest in our cabin. It is a very quiet and cozy place to relax.

I want you to be aware of a few our policies. These are all things we've had issues with in the past. By booking you agree to the following rules.

1. No Smoking in the house or on the decks. If you must smoke please do so on the driveway or street and use the metal trash can near the lower entry to dispose of butts. It is in a very high risk fire area.

2. No Parties. Generally family birthday parties are fine but we have had issues with "21" year old parties thrown by families that have gotten out of control.

3. No Dishwasher on site. There is no automatic dishwasher at the cabin. All dishes must be washed and put away. There is a minimum $25 fee if the cleaners have to do the dishes.

4. The house must be generally picked up before you leave. Leaving full trash bag is ok but leaving trash all over the house isn't. There can be an extra cleaning fee if the dishes aren't cleaned and put away.

5. Dogs are fine but we also ask that you bring a blanket for your dog if you allow them on the couch or bed with you. We have had dogs in the past and understand accidents happen. We have carpet cleaner at the cabin. In the case of an accident please thoroughly clean up. All animal leavings need to be cleaned up. We also have individual cleanup bags for your convenience. No cats, we're allergic. Yes we had someone bring a cat.

Our place is dog friendly and has a fenced space behind for them to play.
Maximum 2 pets allowed
Must be House Trained
No unattended pets left in the house.
Should be on leash when outside.
$100 fee per undisclosed pet discovered

6. The cabin is designed with all the bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs. The kitchen and living areas are upstairs. This means that during the day stairs would have to be traversed to use the bathroom.

7. Maximum 8 people staying at the property, without our expressed permission. The house is on a septic system and more than 8 people taxes it. The area is also very quiet and we don't want to disturb our neighbors. There are cameras on the front of the cabin overlooking the driveway and two front doors.

8. Thermostat settings. The cabin is equipped with an internet enabled thermostat. Please be considerate when adjusting the thermostat. Owners will be alerted when the thermostat is set really high or really low.

There are limited vents upstairs so the best way to cool or heat the upstairs is to close all the downstairs doors. Other things that help are to close the vents in the bathrooms and close one of the two vents in the master bedroom. Running both of the ceiling fans upstairs really helps with cooling and airflow.
If the vents are adjusted properly there is no need to set the thermostat below 75 in the summer and 70 in the winter.
Adjusting the doors and vents also helps when the wood burning stove is in use as it forces the warmer air downstairs.

EV charging is 15/day. Please notify us that you plan to charge your EV while you're on the property. Do not charge between 4pm & 9pm as electric rates are three times higher during this time frame. The daily fee doubles for charging during this time. Failure to notify us prior to charging or charging between 4:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. will result in a maximum four-star rating of the "following house rules" portion of the guests' review.

During the winter months we have a driveway snow clearing service. This is an additional fee of $80. please let us know the day before to have the driveway ready for your arrival.

We feel it's better to have set expectations before booking your stay.

Thanks again for you interest.
