Nice cabin.

We were very happy to stay at the cabin. It is very good. There are good quality kitchen appliance, plates cups. We were able to find everything that we need and even more. Thank you for extra salt ,seasoning and all the stuff that you usually forget to bring. It was very clean. Very big place and we enjoyed. There are a lot of games for kids. We enjoy staying there.

Squirrel’s Nest

Great location, easy access. Beautiful home. Very clean overall though some dishes/cookware needed washing before use. Would have liked more room for trash, 2 bags full for a full house isn’t quite enough. Enjoyed our stay. It would have been nice to have a checkout of 11:00 vs 10:00. We made it out but it was kind of hectic. For the price 11:00 doesn’t seem unreasonable.Thanks.

Fantastic Snow & Ski Getaway!

We had a wonderful week at Squirrel's Nest! It had plenty of room for our family of 5 to spread out and relax. We really appreciated the garage and that the neighborhood had plowing services. We were able to drive up to Bear Valley 3 days straight to ski and go tubing.

Awesome time in the woods

ADVERTISED AS A NOT PET FRIENDLY HOME

SENT A SEPARATE REVIEW BUT TO SUMMARIZED MY REVIEW...THIS HOME IS NOT A PET FRIENDLY HOME. OWNERS OR SOMEONE WHO LIVED THERE HAS PETS AND I HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE. MY DAUGHTER AND MY GRAND KIDS WERE MISERABLE THE ENTIRE 4 NIGHTS BECAUSE THEY WERE VERY ALLERGIC TO PET DANDER. THEY HAD TO TAKE TWICE A DAY ANTIHISTAMINE. THE MAN WHO I TALKED TO FIRST SAID HE WAS NOT THE PROPERTY MANAGER THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE NEXT DAY HE WAS THE PROPERTY MANAGER SAID THAT FOR SURE NO PETS WERE ALLOWED IN THAT HOUSE. BTW THIS MAN WHO IS SUPPOSEDLY A PROPERTY MANAGER WAS NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL! IN ONE OF OUR CONVERSATION ON THE PHONE HE SLAMMED THE PHONE ON ME...NO CUSTOMER SERVICE ETIQUETTE. THE FOLLOWING DAY WE FOUND OUT THAT ONE OF THE OWNER'S CLOSET DOOR WAS LEFT UNLOCKED AND WHAT DID WE SEE ANIMAL BOWLS AND TONS OF ANIMAL FOOD. ALSO THE FIRST NIGHT WE WERE THERE MY DAUGHTER PICKED UP A CRACKER THAT FELL IN THE CARPET AND WHEN SHE WIPED THE CARPET THE NAPKIN USED TO WIPE WERE FULL OF WHITE PET FUR. NOT GOOD!!! I SURE HOPE NEXT TIME THAT WHEN YOU ADVERTISE THAT A VRBO IS NOT A PET FRIENDLY HOME TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OWNERS DO NOT HAVE PETS OF THEIR OWN THAT STAYED IN THAT PARTICULAR HOUSE. WE AS RENTERS ALWAYS ASSUMED THAT NO PETS ALLOWED MEANS THE HOUSE FOR SURE THAT NO PETS STAYED IN THAT PARTICULAR HOUSE. PROPERTY MANAGERS AND OWNERS SHOULD BE MORE TRUTHFUL BECAUSE FAMILY THAT ARE SUPER ALLERGIC TO ANIMAL DANDER LIKE US CAN END UP TAKEN TO AN EMERGENCY WHICH WILL NOT ONLY RUIN OUR VACATION BUT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. BTW WE DID WASH ALL LINENS AND SHEETS SOON AS WE FOUND OUT THAT IN FACT THERE WERE ANIMALS LIVING IN THAT HOUSE. SHEETS WERE ALSO MADE OF A CHEAP SILKY MATERIAL THAT SLIPS AND SLIDES EVERY TIME YOU MOVE, VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!!! I WILL RATE THIS AS A 2 STAR SINCE THE LOCATION WAS GOOD BUT OVERALL A 1 STAR!
