    Awsome log cabin
    This place was perfect for a big group of friends to have a cozy winter vacation. Its just an hour to the ski slopes. Papa bear and Baby bear cabins share a driveway and are right next to eachother, and we rented both for our big group. It was awsome having the hot tubs, a big porch, fireplace, and lots and lots of room.

    Heaven in the Woods
    This was the most memorable Christmas trip we have ever had, thanks to the cozy, comfortable, and lovely "Papa Bear" cabin - which is so much bigger than the photos make it look! The house is packed with everything we needed - kitchen items, robes (great for the hot tub), indoor and outdoor games, puzzles, books, shampoos, and soaps .... it was like staying at your best friend's lodge in the woods. The drive into downtown Nevada City is only 5-6 minutes, and the nearby hikes are spectacular! We were all so sad to leave. Dru and Rene answered any questions we had immediately and Dru came to our rescue several times with extra firewood and help with the heat. His kindness and friendliness really brought the spirit of Christmas right to our door :-)

    Beautiful home and property. House is well maintained with needed supplies.
    Great time was had by all. My two adult children, two grandchildren, and 97 yr old mother joined me for a relaxing getaway. Grandson loved the fishing. It is close to town and other amenities. Check out the other cabins if your party isn't large.

    We would highly recommend this as a family retreat. Clean, well maintained could probably use a few updated mattresses but minor quibble! Furnishings are comfy and in great shape! Just loved it!! Already planning on next visit. Great spot for our dogs too. You can tell the place is well loved and cared for, and owners are great about responding!
