The cabin's location is simply top notch being just steps away from Bear Lake in the "suburb" of Bear Valley. There are a couple amazing hikes one can do right out of the cabin without having to drive anywhere. Morning quiet time on the deck with the birds singing while drinking coffe e and journaling was splendid. We swam, SUPed, hiked, spent leisure time together, cooked, ate around the large dining room table, and laughed a lot at the perfect altitude to enjoy the Sierras.The cabin was large enough for all 8 adults and a 10 month old to happily coexist.The newly upgraded appliances were really appreciated.Looks like there may be some remodeling happening at the end of the galley kitchen that opens up the space and brings in more natural light. Love it!In general, the cabin was clean, but we chased a crawling toddler around on the floor and there was debris under furniture, benches, and around the fireplace. Bedding and towels were nice and abundant. Thank you!
