Cozy Mountain Getaway

We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend at Rocky Cliff Retreat. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and perfectly nestled in the beautiful Sierra Mountains. The owner was very approachable and responsive, which made everything smooth from start to finish. We really enjoyed the peaceful setting and cozy atmosphere. A few mosquitos here and there, but nothing that took away from a great stay. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, spotless, welcoming home

The property is well kept, the decor is absolutely beautiful and welcoming. We had a great time during our stay, the house is located in a very dusty road but is really close to great hikes, lakes, stores, restaurants. We would absolutely stay here again. The managing company was very attentive to our needs, they responded very quickly.

Rocky Cliff

Lovely, large, comfortable space nicely equipped with everything needed for a fun getaway. There is no air conditioning but, between the living room ceiling fan and windows, the place stayed nice and cool (just make sure each window/door screen has no holes before opening it as there are LOTS of bugs outside). Both bathrooms are on the second floor so anyone sleeping downstairs must be willing (and able) to climb stsirs

Quite

This location is off the beaten path and was very relaxing and enjoyable. The towels were new and soft, toilet paper was the best ever, soap, shampoo at every sink and shower, kitchen very well stocked with cooking ware. The only comment is the weather was hot during the days and upstairs was very warm by the end of the day and with no ceiling fan in master and no ac was a little uncomfortable, BUT the two bedrooms down stairs were excellent and very cool and comfortable. All in all if we ever come back this direction we are booking this place again.

Perfect Cozy Cabin Home!

My father-in-law was in town from Florida for a couple weeks, and we wanted to get out of the city. From the moment we walked in, we fell in love with the attention to detail in this home. All things mountain, cabin, rustic, modern, cozy and clean!! The tub was amazing! The cozy living room was perfect for relaxing with the fire going and the rain, so lovely! The downstairs area had plenty to do with board games galore. The kids had a blast! Such a perfect weekend. The owners have really gone above and beyond to make your visit at this home feel like a mountain retreat. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with us! We can’t wait to come back!

Lovely home but few suggestions

House beautifully appointed & well stocked kitchen. Be OVERT in listing: NO bathrooms downstairs. One of our party missed step in middle of night and fell. Propane tank for fire pit empty. Door code never worked for entrance or locking when leaving. Garage entrance fortunately worked. Garage is too small for large SUV (fyi). Hallway bathroom toilet only intermittently flushes - have to wait 'til tank refills. Otherwise we had a great stay

Gorgeous home away from home

This was a beautiful home. It has everything that we needed during our stay. The owners put a lot of thought and effort into their home as to what their guests would need. It felt like we stayed at a nice hotel with kitchen amenities. We were lucky and had a white Christmas this year. The UGG blankets in the beds were one of the best part about the home. It was so warm and comfortable. I had to wrap up in the blanket and lay down in front of the wood stove It was so cozy! I really don’t have anything bad to say about the house. It was perfect!
