About this cabin rental

This property is located in the heart of Alta in a quiet wooded setting. It is a great base for hiking, fishing and skiing in the Tahoe basin. It is 30 minutes from Boreal Ski resort and 45 min from Truckee. We have a huge deck with a BBQ, great for relaxing while having a cup of coffee, or just visiting with family and friends. Plenty of room around the property for the kids and a fire pit to enjoy at night. There is also access to a community pool in Dutch Flat 5 minutes away. This cabin was built in 2010 as my parents summer home and has all the comfort and conveniences. Owners live on site in the separate main house.

Had a relaxing weekend at the cozy cabin. Very neat and clean. Wonderful host and were very accommodating.

10.0 / 10.0

This cabin was perfect! Lovely, comfortable, had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. It's close enough to I-80 to be convenient but tucked far enough away to feel like we were in the middle of the forest. The hosts were very accommodating, friendly, and communicative. This was exactly what we needed! Just wish we could have stayed longer.

The Cozy Cabin was exactly that. Beautiful surroundings and easy to locate. My family and I had plans to ski at Soda Springs for the weekend, which was a short 30 minutes to the hill, which worked out perfectly. Out of the hustle and bustle of traffic and a quiet retreat. Easy in easy out. Thank you, Scott and Dena!

This cabin was absolutely amazing! It was extremely clean, very well stocked in the kitchen, and had all the streaming services on the TV the kids could ask for! The view in the morning looking out into the forest was stunning. The cats that greeted us upon arrival made us feel like we were at home. I would highly recommend this place and would love to stay again.

Wonderful spot - worked perfectly for a family ski trip, a quick 30 minute drive up to Royal Gorge and Sugar Bowl. The cabin was spotless when we arrived, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen is very well equipped. Our hosts were kind and accommodating and we loved staying in the quiet forest at the end of the road. We'll be back!

This was the perfect “cabin in the woods getaway” for our family of five. We were looking for a place to reconnect with our daughters before the beginning of school/college. The place is amazing - even better than the pictures. Our hosts were great and so responsive. It’s about a 10 minute drive from I 80, but it feels a world away. So serene you will not want to leave.

This cabin and host was remarkable. We originally had plans to site see in Lake Tahoe, and other places but found ourselves repeatedly going back to the cabin to just hang and play games. Had a campfire, played ball with the dog, and hung out with cat. Great time. Scott accommodated everything we requested lickety split. The cabin layout was awesome. Will stay again.

Everything about this property is HEAVEN! It’s super close to the freeway yet nestled in the Forrest of big beautiful trees. Checkin was a breeze, we met Scott, his wife, their dog and the famous Apricot, kitty. We love all of them!!! The cabin and surroundings are beyond beautiful! The pictures don’t do it justice. You have to see it yourself. We will definitely be back and strongly recommend it to you too. We made family memories that will last a lifetime and recharged our souls. Highly highly recommend!!!!

We were excited to get away for a winter vacation but didn’t expect it to be so fantastic! The best perks were the owner’s cat and dog, such lovely creatures that we spent a good amount of time with. We were delighted with the property itself-the area was gorgeous and peaceful, the location was close to ski resorts, the size was just right for our family, and the owners were terrific and hospitable. Thank you for letting us enjoy your cozy and beautiful cabin! We will consider coming back in the summer!

We had such a wonderful stay here in a snowstorm! Scott and Dena were amazing hosts from helping us anticipate road conditions getting there on a stormy weekend to all of the small touches that made staying there with kids easy and fun! Our kids loved the toys, we loved the fully stocked kitchen and cooking together, the orientation of the cabin out to the woods is just beautiful. We look forward to another visit!

Our family had a wonderful time making memories at this property. The owners were delightful and so fast in responding to our questions and providing useful information we didn't think to ask. The cabin was very clean and fully stocked with all you need including toiletries and kitchen cookware. The owners were so kind to help us start a fire for roasting marshmallows and we enjoyed getting to know them and learning more about the cabin. My boys fell in love with the owner's dog and spent a lot of time playing fetch. They also loved seeing the cat and chickens. There are plenty of toys in the cabin that also kept them entertained. We highly recommend this property and hope to return in the future. It was truly a wonderful place to get away with our family.

Cabin was exactly as described. Scott met us as we drove up. The cabin was warm and cozy and was perfect after a busy Thanksgiving Family Event! It was SO quiet:). We visited Little Bear Tree farm and Nevada City one day. The next day we drove to Empire Mine State Park and toured Grass Valley. Everyone everywhere was welcoming❤️Thank you owners for sharing your most perfect spot! Merry Christmas!

10.0 / 10.0

From the moment we arrived, everything was just as was described and portrayed on the website. The cabin was spic and span, fully equipped, plenty of privacy, fire pit, BBQ. The owners were exceptionally welcoming and kind. Scott helped set up the fire pit and made sure that the BBQ was ready to go Even though we brought games and activities, there were many more in the cabin which delighted the children. They were happy to sleep in their sleeping bags but the fold out sofa bed was stocked with linens, blankets, and pillows. There were plenty of spices and condiments which made cooking a snap. The cabin itself is a work of art!! Hand built by the owner with lots of attention to detail. The large windows in the main area look out into the forest as well as the wrap around deck. We were advised about the bears and we made sure that no food was left outside. The vegetable garden was spectacular and we were fortunate enough to receive fresh produce - compliments of the owners. The fresh eggs from their chickens was another highlight. There's nothing like a farm fresh egg. All in all, we had a super time. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to get away and relax. There are plenty of outdoor activities nearby as well - hiking, lakes, community pool. Nevada City and Grass Valley are within a 45 minute drive.

It was the most amazing experience. The cabin was beautiful and the hosts were gracious and helpful. You don't have to bring anything but your clothes and food that you prefer. Everything you might need is there for you. The birds were there to greet us every morning and the squirrels waited their turn.

You deserve to vacation in this cabin!

We loved this cabin! This was the vacation that our family needed. We are a family of 3 and we spent 2 days here and we can't wait to get back. Do you like to hear wind blowing through pine trees? Great! Then you need not look any farther than this cozy cabin. They had everything! If you would like to disconnect, great - easy to do here. The deck faces the forest, it's quiet, there's cornhole, board games, and generally a secluded feel here. If you would like to relax but need to keep track of things - that works too! They have wifi, cell service, and cable (my husband is a business owner and my mother had major surgery while we were here and we kept tabs on everything!). The setup of this cabin is optimal. There are two bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom, that are on opposite ends of the cabin and the kitchen, living, and dining room are shared and in the center of the house. Scott and Dena are helpful and available if need be (you don't need them because they have their bases covered but they are so delightful to chat with) and if they are away you can always consult with Tajia (Tay-ja) and Apricot; resident dog and cat of the premises. Our daughter, Penny, played with them constantly and had the best time. Honestly, our child had been quite ill the 6 weeks prior to this trip and she was finally feeling better. Watching her run, play, gather firewood (sticks), play with animals, chat, color, make chalk creations, and just get dirty (sooo dirty) truly healed our family. This was the respite we needed; from this crazy world, from our busy lives, and you need this too. This is a great place to regroup and heal.

This beautiful custom cabin has a wonderful layout with a fabulous view! It is rare to find a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom rental. Most rentals are too big or too small for a family of four. This was the perfect location with a fantastic kitchen to make all our meals. A generous area to play board games or watch a movie. And enough room for everyone to relax and have space. Thank you so much Scott and Dena…we thoroughly enjoyed our visit!!

Enjoyed a fantastic weekend with the family staying at Scott and Dena’s cozy cabin in the woods. Everything was so welcoming - from the personalized note, welcoming music, fully equipped kitchen, fresh flowers, and fresh eggs from their hens! The cabin was perfect for our family of 5 - comfortable beds, great water pressure, plenty of hot water and good heat for those chilly nights. Beautiful windows facing the majestic woods with morning blue jay visitors at the bird feeders made for enjoyable breakfasts. Couldn’t have asked for a quainter stay!
