About this property

Charming Retreat in High Sierra. Fantastic Views!

Our retreat has the atmosphere of a high elevation “refuge” in the Alps, with modern amenities and an original design, located right in the Kirkwood valley. Three alcove beds with beautiful views, a comfortable couch, a kitchenette, and a barbecue on the deck, all make for an easy transition into vacation mode. Previous visitors have loved the space and found sleeping in the cedar alcoves incredibly restful. Solar PV panels and tankless water heater lower the environmental cost of maintaining a cabin at 7800 ft.
The retreat is child safe and family friendly. It comes with a collection of children’s books, puzzles, board games and movies. While it has three double beds, size wise it is designed for families or groups of two to four people. During ski season, you can cross-country ski and snow shoe right off the deck or have the shuttle take you to downhill ski lifts a few minutes away. In the summer, simply hike out to the adjacent national forest or any of the surrounding lakes. It is a beautiful place to stay in a beautiful valley.

Perfect ski retreat
My 24yo son, his best friend and I shared this modestly sized studio which is underneath a much larger house. It was perfect for us. The bed cubbies are cozy and comfortable. The stove top in the kitchenette has two burners but is perfect for making a quick pasta dinner and eggs and bacon in the morning. All is just right for a small family or a guys weekend in the snow.

Snowed in yet cozy
A blizzard snowed us in. Due to the storm, shuttles weren’t running to the slopes, and our car not quite hefty enough to handle the intense storm. Though our ski plans were hampered. Bertrand was accommodating and quite helpful. It was a cozy place to spend a long stormy weekend.

Amazing place
Perfect place for a ski weekend in Kirkwood. The kitchen and small barbecue were great for cooking. The beds were fun and very comfortable with nice windows to watch the snow falling at night. Free shuttle to the hill was convenient. Host was friendly and helpful. Will absolutely stay here again.
