Woodsy Retreat: Swim Pinecrest/Ski Dodge! WIFI

The Woodsy Retreat is tucked away amongst the pines in the High Sierra Mountains. 5 minutes away from PINECREST LAKE & DODGE RIDGE SKI. This 950 sq ft little gem boasts a modern flare to rustic living. 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath. Knotty Pine throughout. Large deck with outdoor sitting and Propane BBQ. The cabin lights up nightly for outdoor entertaining. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals. All beds have freshly washed luxury sheets, memory foam pillows down comforters.

Keith and I enjoy communicating with our guests. We are here for you by phone, text or email if you should have any questions before, during or after your stay.

**Additional Information about the cabin**

Guests will have access to the entire cabin except for two storage closet‘s located in the hall.

IF YOUR STAY IS CANCELLED DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER OR IF THE CABIN IS NOT ACCESSIBLE DUE TO HEAVY SNOW, WE WILL NOTIFY YOU 24 HOURS BEFORE CHECK IN TO RESCHEDULE YOUR STAY OR ISSUE YOU A REFUND.

Winter snow months we strongly encourage you to carry chains at all time. Chain requirements will be enforced in a snow storm. 4 wheel drive recommended

The week of Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday there is a 3-night minimum. New Year's, Memorial Day, and Labor Day there is a 3-night minimum. Holiday pricing starts at 249.00 a night.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not accommodate check-outs on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. If this information is overlooked before booking, we will ask you to please cancel on your end as this is notated in our listing.

Currently, Verizon and AT&T are the only cell carriers that works in that area. We encourage you to print instructions before you head up to the property. Also another way to get accurate directions to the cabin is the put the address in maps app on your phone before you start your trip. Once you lose reception in the city of Long Barn the map app will still be able to bring you right to the property without reception. If arriving at night our cabin is completely lit up with white Christmas lights to help show your way.

WIFI
Due to the rural location of our community Hughesnet satellite Internet is the only carrier available. We feel grateful that we can extend this service to you, as most cabins in our area do not have a line of sight for the satellite. Keep in mind that satellite Internet is good for surfing the Internet, emails and light social media. Streaming is not supported.

We do have a landline available at the cabin to utilize for local calls.

In the winter months, we have provided two shovels at the property. If you are at the property during a snowstorm you would utilize the shovel the driveway and deck for access. We will ensure that the cabin is accessible for you upon arrival. But maintaining the property is a guest responsibility.

Parking
We have a long paved driveway that you could park three average sized vehicles on. In the winter months if it is snowing you will be required to park on the driveway and not the road. This is to ensure that the snowplow vehicles are able to plow the road daily around 3 PM. This might require shoveling snow on driveway to access a parking spot. We want to make sure you don't receive a hefty ticket from city. We suggest during snowfall to park up towards the top of the driveway, this will help with getting out of the driveway during the winter/snow season.

The outdoor patio furniture is put away for the winter months. December- April the outdoor cushions, umbrella and fire pit chairs are available upon request as long as the guests return them to the basement for the winter months.

Please note WE DO NOT provide the following: laundry detergent, extra trash bags, firewood, propane for BBQ. There is a propane tank, however we do not monitor the propane usage.

Pinecrest in comfort
We've camped for years at Pinecrest. While the rest of our extended family now has motorhomes and we do not , woodsy retreat is perfect alternative . The cabin is comfortable, convenient to the lake and accepts doggos. It is well appointed. Comfortable beds and nice linens. Kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

great location and cabin
host is very accommodative given the severe weather forced us to delay our trip by a day and one family wasnt able to make it. Cabin is cute and mostly clean. The bed sheet wasnt washed as we still see hair, but was able to use the washer to clean it (hope host could provide detergent though as without it we washed with wayer only). Communication is great as host diligently worked through issues with me given the server weather and powet outage. Overall a lovely stay and will stay here again in the future.

Beautiful cabin great location
We had such an amazing time at the Woodsy Retreat, we will definitely be returning. The cabin itself was super clean and had such a warm and cozy feeling, perfect sleding area just by the fire pit outside our kids had a blast, coming back inside to the warm wood stove was perfect. Really nice neighborhood we enjoyed several walks and enjoyed the big selection of movies at night, highly recommend the Woodsy Retreat for your next vacation.

Wonderful Winter Getaway
We could not have been happier with the Woodsy Retreat! Starting with our reservation and great communication with our hosts, our trip was absolutely perfect. Gina and Keith have created a perfect retreat. It’s just as cute and well-appointed as it looks in the photos, and has everything in terms of kitchen supplies and other household amenities that you could hope for. (We were so glad to be able to do laundry!) The beds are incredibly luxurious and comfortable—perfect for afternoon naps! The cabin is perfectly located for nice walks around the Cold Springs area without getting in your car—and then local attractions like Mia’s and Pinecrest Lake are just a short drive away. Also, during a winter of record snow, it was so wonderful to have the parking area plowed out in advance. We just had to show up! Absolutely wonderful trip—we will definitely be staying her again!

Wonderful
This was our second time staying here we enjoy it so much. Our family of four (kids ages 10 and 7) stayed here for three nights, but it was so comfortable and wonderfully located that we could have stayed way longer. The location and neighborhood of the home is perfect. It's quiet, peaceful, beautiful, and very close to Dodge Ridge for skiing in the day, Pinecrest Lake for exploring, and even Twain Harte for groceries and even mini golf and shaved ice (in the summer). Kids made the longest and most epic sled run in the backyard while we could BBQ and read on the deck watching them. There is a perfect table to play games and eat meals together, a nice selection of movies for family movie night, and the most comfortable beds. We would surely come back again.

Great weekend in the snow for our family
We enjoyed our stay at this cabin in the snow. It was well described how to get there, get into the property and everything was in order and clean. We were two adults and two young kids (3 and 8 years). Reached the skiing in Dodge Ridge within 15 mins. Parking can be a bit tricky at Dodge Ridge on the weekend when you arrive late. Just keep that in mind. We had dinner once at the pizza place in town - get there early on a weekend - and cooked at the cabin the other night. It was a nice weekend away and we'd come again.
