Really bad experience

I’m so surprised by all the positive reviews because this rental made our trip sort of a drag. The kitchen has almost NOTHING you’d need to actually cook. We spent an hour driving around to find a baking dish, only to realize there was no cheese grater, the oven took twice as long, there are no bowls you can microwave in, VERY dull knives and zero Tupperware, tinfoil or anything to store food in. Outdoor cushions covered the whole floor so there was no room to walk from the kitchen to the living room. It was so dark that even in daytime with all lights on, we had trouble finding things in our bag, let alone could we read at night. We tried to do puzzles only to find tons of pieces missing. Chess and checkers also had missing pieces. The railings are not safe for kids and not to code. The entryway has a roof slope that means you get dripping snow on you every time you go in and out. The carpet in the primary bedroom smells bad and the light aqua towel I used has spots. The bench under the stairs is FILTHY inside. There’s only one wine glass. We were super bummed and left early because of the darkness and lack of ability to cook. The entryway dripping was miserable for kids and needs to be fixed, it need more lights and proper kitchen items if you are going to advertise this as having a kitchen.

Nice Stay in a Cozy House!

We stayed in this house for three days during the Christmas break with our friends and family, totaling six people. The house was very nice and clean, and the air conditioning and heating worked very well, keeping us warm and comfortable.The neighborhood was quiet, which made it easy to relax. The house had a warm atmosphere and a pleasant smell that made it feel homey. There were also some fun games available for the whole family to play, and we enjoyed a great movie collection.The patio was lovely as well. Bear Valley Mountain Ski was only 30 minutes away, which was perfect for some winter fun. We found a Chinese restaurant close to the house, and the food was delicious.The only issue we encountered was with the refrigerator; it was freezing the food, and we unfortunately had to throw away some food. They should definitely look into fixing that.Overall, everything else was great, and we will definitely return in the summer!I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice getaway.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin was clean and cozy but in need of some updates. The dining room chairs were very worn to the point of falling apart. Only one dishtowel was provided for a stay of 4 days. We did have a pleasant time but with a little more attention it would have even better.

Nice Stay at Whispering Pines

The house was clean and fairly well appointed. The kitchen was tiny. The plates and bowls were not ideal. The kitchen table chairs were in poor condition and the leather was literally disinegrating. The access to the pool was awesome - location is great. Nice to have AC as it was hot. Overall a nice place to stay.

Thanksgiving 2023 trip

We loved the house and property it was perfect. The house could have been a little cleaner, there were alot of spider webs and spiders must have found 8 within the first couple hours. Also could use measuremening cups in the kitchen. Other than that the house was perfect, we would happily stay there again.

Cozy, relaxing getaway

Such a cute property. I love the location and it was close to lake Alpine. The place was cozy, comfortable and relaxing. Enough space for a family with the upstairs loft. Kitchen well stocked, enough bath linens and visitor guide book was helpful! Having access to the pool was the best feature!!! Thinking about coming back in winter for some snow fun. Just a couple suggestion opportunities - need more fans because it was hot and there is no AC. Also the DVD selection for the downstairs TV was great but the DVD player upstairs wasn't blue ray.

Great Dog Friendly Cabin

We had a great time staying at this cabin for a mom and sun end of summer trip. We enjoyed our time visiting Alpine and White Pines Lakes and at the community swimming pool. Great are and wonderful comfy cabin! My one suggestion is cushions for the deck chairs.

Wonderful retreat

Our family of four had a cozy stay in our Dorrington cabin. The beds were full of soft covers, the leather couches reclined and the fire was so easy to light each night! We were super close to skiing, sledding and snowshoeing.
