This rental was perfect for our group of friends! The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels and pool towels. The kitchen was amazing, furnished with everything one could imagine in a kitchen. Great variety of pots and pans, dining ware, stand mixer, blender. The air conditioning in the house worked great, it was in the 90's when we stayed and the house was cool and comfortable. The pool and spa tub were a hit with our group. The check in process was smooth, we felt very secure in the gated community. Location was great,

The location was great and the unit was large and accomondated all our guests. The furniture could use an update and the filter in the refrigerator for water was old and the water and ice could not be used.

Very convenient to wineries and our Conference at Silverado. Definitely well priced and attentive host. Delightfully comfortable bed and plenty of closet space.

Well appointed house in a quiet location with a large kitchen and open spaces. Rooms were comfortable for all of us. If you are walking, it is further to downtown - if you are driving, it doesn't matter. We shared the house's shortcomings with the owner for them to correct. Many of the shortcomings had a backup (for example, we had to buy our own ice; 2 of 6 stove burners didn't work so we used the other 4; the bathrooms need more hooks and towel bars; etc). The pool area was large, however it wasn't very tidy (we had to clean leaf litter and wipe the chairs).

If someone is looking for the perfect place to relax and that is central to exploring the sierras, this is the place! Pinecone cottage has it all. The owners have thought of everything. When we forgot a kitchen tool, we would say, "I hope they have one", and guess what? they did... The beds were so comfortable and amenities were well stocked. The house rules were simple and easy to follow for opening and closing. The time of year we went was perfect for peace and quiet as school is back in and travelers are gone (Sept 22 thru Sept 26th). I do not believe we saw a single soul the entire time we were here. We even went on morning walks with our dog and there was no one to be seen. We have found our niche and will be back trying out winter next...Thank you Evergreen Pinecone Cottage for opening your lovely slice of heaven for us to relax and have fun.

Six ladies planned an annual trip and chose Lake Arrowhead and this fabulous cabin! After asking all of the attendees their thoughts on this cabin, they said is was clean, has incredibly comfortable beds, and is an excellent space for a large family or group. It has a GREAT top deck with a distant view of the lake and has a lot of fun activities nearby. Overall an exceptional stay with all of the amenities!

Beautiful and very spacious property. TV was slow. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out light switches. The area was extremely quiet. We only ran into guest at the pool. Loved the peace and quiet.

We had a wonderful stay at Bruce's house in Mill Valley. It's very comfortable with plenty of room to relax, play games and enjoy the view. The kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable and we especially liked the sunroom. Communication both before and during our stay was excellent. They even left us a basket of snacks and cooler with cold drinks.
