"We stayed in this cabin before, but we were absolutely delighted by the upgrades! Everything had been updated. The towels, the sheets were all new and very nice quality. There was coffee, filters, creamer and sugar in the kitchen. It felt like we were staying at a fancy hotel! We can’t wait to go back!"

Sierra City Loves Falls Cabin - Walking Distance to Waterfall & PCT

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay, a third time in three years. It suited our family very well. The cabin was very clean when we arrived and well appointed with all we might want to use for cooking, playing a few games, reading books and a great binder with clear info about the area. Our host was very responsive with messages. There is lots to do in the area--fishing, hikes, swimming at Sand Pond--a bit of a drive and well worth it."
