The wonder of this house lies in its location. It lies on a dead end with national forest land right behind it. It makes for the perfect retreat, especially given the 2020 Blues. The house is beautifully decorated. It has a nice combination of modern and antique furnishes...loved the lamps! We had my stepmother stay in the upstairs master and she found it peaceful and loved the upstairs deck. My husband and I stayed downstairs, as it made it easier to let the pups out. It worked perfectly for us and the beds were extremely comfortable! Once the pups saw the squirrels, they asked to go outside about 3,653 times a day. The jacuzzi was technically reopened, but was not usable for our visit as a small leak had drained the water. We notified Vacasa and they responded right away and acknowledged the issue (they were planning to fix it) and told us they would refund the jacuzzi fee. Honestly, the jacuzzi made no difference to us. Sitting on the porch and watching a black bear cub play ten feet away from the deck was spectacular. You are that close to nature. Can life get better than a glass of wine with Yogi Bear? I think not! Also, the house is close to both the 89 and the 88, so you can take advantage of hiking a little farther south away from the crowds. I highly recommend the Emigrant Lake Trail and a visit to the town of Markleeville. Get an egg salad sandwich at the general store in Markleeville...trust me...it is the best you will ever have. Rent this lovely Swiss style house and I promise you, it will be the perfect break that you need from our nutty world right now! Final note...the house was clean as can be. The management company is making sure they sterilize the place between visitors, so no need to delay a trip until the pandemic is over.
