NEW! Perfect family getaway for any time of year - Our beautiful, historic 1890's Victorian Farmhouse (5 bed/4 bath) features a swimming pool (not a winter option - open from mid-May to mid-September only!), fire pit (when allowed by county), a relaxing front porch and plenty of space to spread out. We normally operate as a Bed & Breakfast during winter, but with the COVID crisis we decided on whole home rentals to share our wonderful home. Lots of local activities and our home will accommodate up to 20 guests (with shared beds) making it the perfect getaway for your friends, family or both! We do see a bit of snow in the winter time, and our large yard is perfect for snow play. We can set up badminton in the front yard, bean bag toss, and help you plan the perfect family activities. We have wi-fi available (as well as excellent cell phone coverage), but we encourage you to disconnect and enjoy your surroundings. We have a large well stocked kitchen for your meals (we can also recommend a local caterer that delivers), a parlor, media room, study and dining area, along with 5 bedrooms (one bedroom is a suite that has 3 sleeping areas - we call it the Bunk House) and 4 baths. Each room has a TV and DVD player and we have an extensive DVD inventoried library. Our location is perfect for almost every outdoor adventure. Hiking, fishing (lakes and rivers), rafting, the PCT, boating, skiing & snowboarding, even rock climbing are all within 30 minutes of Alta. Some even start a morning hike right outside our front door. We are approximately one hour from the Reno or Sacramento Airports and 45 minutes from Truckee and a few minutes more to Lake Tahoe.

Easy check-in and check-out process. Everything works as listed. Nice to have 2 refrigerators because one quit working during our stay. Yes, freeway is close by with some noise. Swimming pool and backyard are great for family hangout.A few upstairs windows with no screen/barrier and low ledge - keep eyes on small children for safety. It would be nice if host provides pool towels - guests from out of State did not bring towels.Slight inconvenience as garbage dumpster not available on site - need to make arrangement with host to remove garbage every time.Host responded to request in a timely manner.

Large, rustic, very comfortable space, we felt very much at home. As previous guests have commented the freeway noise was an issue for some of our guests, others had no problem. IF coming in the winter months I would suggest bringing extra blankets if you do not want to run the heating all night. Our host was very helpful and accommodating. We may have to come back in Summer months enjoy the swimming pool.

Wish we had added a couple more days. This place has it all, so well equipped with everything you need and might want for playing together. Enough privacy with the many bedrooms, too. Pool shows not heated on the site but very comfortable temp. Host Jenn was great to work with

entire family were able to come together for a 5 day get together. House was fantastic. No problems. All 16 of us had plenty of room. They had games for out on the lawn, and in the house in the evening.The kitchen table was large enough to fit all of us at once. Jenn was just a phone call away and extremely helpful.
If the house is available we have already planned to go back next year

This was the most beautiful get together our family has spend it a while. The property itself has a personality and history. It’s equipped with everything a large family could want: big spaces to spent time together for meals, tv nights, games, outdoor activities including a swimming pool, plus rooms and nooks to have alone time and relax for a nap.
It’s close to hiking trails (which you have to drive to) and close the freeway which is the only drawback. But we didn’t mind that at all!

We had a large family gathering to celebrate Grandma’s birthday. The home and grounds are perfect, comfortable and well stocked. Bring your own equipment if you have a baby. Good communication with Jenn and Jody and easy entry. The house was quiet even with all our crew. Lots of fun outdoor activities in the yard and scenic walks and bike rides nearby. Get your supplies before you get there…closest large grocery store over 10 minutes away.

This was our second time staying at Crystal Springs. We were a friends group of 18 people, with the youngest being 8 yrs old. We had a fantastic time talking on the porch, swimming in the pool, playing ping pong and corn hole. There was ample space for all of us to relax and sleep. The upstairs kids room did get very hot, but we were able to adjust the portable A/C and fans to make it cooler. We arranged for a local caterer to make dinner for us every night which was a nice treat- they made delicious desserts too. Jenn was very responsive. Rollins lake wasn’t too far away and we rented boats one day. Excellent vacation home.

Great rental! Lots of space and bathrooms. First place I've ever stayed that has sharp kitchen knives! Yes, the freeway noise is very loud outside and with the windows open. But, once people start talking and socializing, you no longer hear the freeway.

Our family, including our children and grandchildren, spent a fantastic week at the Crystal Springs house. The whole property is awesome. The outdoor space is so fun with all the yard games and a pool. The house is huge, beautifully decorated, well stocked and so homey! We can’t wait to come back!

Our yearly family/bff family trip was awesome, house was great, playing poker and some card games was nice….house is really big and had a lot of room for everyone… we had 20 sleeping there.. had almost everything needed, the only thing that would have been even better would have been air conditioning, they have wall coolers but doesn’t really cool down until like 4am… other than that, pool was nice and the yard is quite big…and we made more memories. Thanks Jenn hope to see you in the future

The owners are very accommodating. Really easy check in and very clean. Enough room for everyone. They have so much to do here. My adult kids said it was like being at summer camp. Hope to stay here again.

This house was perfect for my family. We truly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was very well equipped. We really liked sitting on the porch and drinking wine.

Everything was as advertised. There were 5 of us and we loved the home. We used the kitchen 2-3 times per day for the duration of the trip. The property managers were great at communicating and provided recommendations and warm conversation.
Couldn't have been better.

The pictures of this place don't do it justice- it is much bigger and more beautiful than we envisioned! Jenn was very proactive in her communication and responded to everything we needed. There was smoke from nearby fires and she even messaged me to give me a heads up prior to our last payment being due. It is this "customer first" mentality that she displayed throughout our trip.
The house itself is a huge, sprawling property with lots of little touches to make it feel like home. We had six kids and appreciated the games, crayons, and space to run and ride scooters. The beds were comfortable and they had the best stocked kitchen that we had ever seen- huge bonus! We also really enjoyed the patio and did spend hours sipping and sitting. :)
A couple of things to note- this is close to the highway so you always hear cars buzzing by (it becomes white noise after awhile). We were there when it was 90+ degrees and the pool was still really cold- only reached 70 degrees. It was dirty when we arrived. Finally, Jenn greeted our party upon arrival to give us a tour. Nice gesture but it lasted way too long after a long car ride in traffic with kids. We turned down the offer to do a walk-thru at the end for the same reason.
Highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway!

This is a spacious house with plenty of room for all. We enjoyed this property very much, the bunk house had great space and the parlor provided hours and hours of entertainment and sing alongs. With 10 adults and 8 teens/tweens, there was something for everyone. The yard provided plenty of space for activities and the pool was hit. I was so happy to see everyone disconnect from their devices and engage with each other. Nobody wanted it to end (including the teens). Looking forward to a return trip.

We had such a wonderful family vacation here! Fun times in the pool and we played games into the evening hours. Thank you Jenn and Jodi for an amazing property and being such great hosts. We highly recommend for families.

Our visit to Crystal Springs Inn was fantastic! The house is charming, spacious, comfortable and well
stocked with all the necessities & more (great movie collection, every possible kitchen gadget, comfy sheets, lots of towels). We spent many hours on the huge porch watching the kids play in the pool and beautiful yard. There are many nearby activities, our favorite was renting boats at Lake Rollins. The owners, Jenn & Jodi, were so welcoming & accommodating and responded to texts/emails within minutes. The only thing I would mention is the close proximity to I-80. We definitely heard the traffic hum but after a few days it became white noise to us. Our 3 families had a very memorable time. We feel like we left our good friends home and cannot wait to return.

This historic property was really beautiful, offered plenty of space, was very well-equipped w/ all you may ask for in a vacation home, including a lovely pool & a sweet wrap around porch. The host was so gracious and welcoming, and the rooms were immaculate. We loved this place, the only small drawback was hearing Highway 80 in the background.

What a wonderful home!! We spent a week here with two other families. The front porch rockers are perfect for reading, cocktails, and watching humming birds. The pool is perfect and the yard has a gazebo, hammock, hammock chair, and fire pit for night time marshmallow roasting. The front yard with the pool is fenced in, which is great for kids and dogs. The house is plenty big for everyone to be comfortable. Rooms are bright and spacious and the beds comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to cook up big meals. We used the game room piano for nightly family sing-alongs. We can't wait to go back!
