Tranquil 3-bedroom Cabin on Carson River in Markleeville

8/10 Good
"This house is gorgeous and very well maintained. It was meticulously decorated and was a great place to stay. Check in/out processes were easy. The river is pretty and relaxing to sit by. Overall things were great. There is a little traffic noise. We did leave a night early because the bed was a little different than we are use to, no fault of the owner, just our personal preference."
