Place was tucked off the beaten path, quiet, fun, plenty for the kids and dog to do when we were there. Having the kids downstairs is awesome. Kitchen stocked with plenty of utensils. Big lining room for all to play games and relax. Fire pit and grill was rad. Nice relaxing spot.

A group of guys stayed together to play golf at nearby Grizzly Ranch and the beds, (even the pull out couch) were comfortable and it worked perfectly for our group. Plenty of room for friends to stop by for dinner after the rounds.

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!

Perfect stay to visit the lakes

We really enjoyed our stay at Rocky Cliff! The house was very spacious and we had lots of room to rest, watch movies, read and play board games. The BBQ was perfect for our summer dinners and the kitchen was so fun to cook in: spacious with everything you need. Beautiful place too! Great experience.
