My husband and I planned a short trip to take our kids skiing/snowboarding for the first time. We wanted a place close enough to the resort that was clean, cozy and priced reasonably. We found all of this with our stay at Lodge at the Lake! It was incredibly cozy, with a warm, inviting atmosphere the moment I walked in. The interior was nicely designed, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. The fireplace added a perfect touch, making the space feel even more like a home away from home. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed from a well-stocked kitchen to cozy beds. If you like washcloths for the bathroom, just be sure to bring your own as they don’t have any. I like my washcloths :) The two beds in the loft, a queen and twin were very comfortable. The only downside was the couch bed downstairs (sleeps 2) as it was not quite as comfortable, with a thin, squeaky mattress. The owners were accommodating, and buzzed us into the gate immediately, even though we had to check in pretty late in the evening. It was the perfect retreat for some much-needed downtime. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a peaceful and cozy setting! ##### Danielle W. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lydia D. Jul 11, 2025 Disliked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy I lected this cabin because we specifically wanted to be near Pinecrest Lake and based on wonderful reviews, some which were winter stays. It was rented for one night concluding a road trip through the Gold Country and we wanted to swim in a lake and enjoy our last day of our trip. We are not familiar with this area, but had been in Sonora 20 plus years ago. The cabin photos include one of “the lake” and it looked like a partial photo. We thought we would be staying within walking distance to a lake. Once I arrived I texted the owner to ask how we would get to the lake because I could not see it. We did pass by a pond on the way in to the cabin. It was very green with algae (which can be a problem). It tuned out this was what was being called the “lake”. According to some people we met, Pinecrest Lake is around 10 miles away with a crowded day use area. This was our main concern about this property. There were numerous instructions provided since it is through a main gate. However the owner neglected to send the needed codes the day before, once texted he sent the information. This was a bit stressful. Other issues were that the property was not in the best condition and had a badly peeling deck, linens did not seem fresh, the bathroom had some issues near baseboard and what looked like dry rot, the sofa bed was broken and would never accommodate two people, there were torn areas in the sliding glass door screens. Other properties on VRBO in the same area are well maintained. ![Deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/46d9e49d-4be4-4851-8bbe-b620a650428f-1752254653988.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Exterior Cabin](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7fdc7a44-1a0a-4077-904c-a146118e8329-1752254653763.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![BBQ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e440cd79-62b9-403b-b553-b86789fb8007-1752254653019.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Pond](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dd519f93-3f72-4b34-8fa6-694476234bee-1752254653911.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lydia D. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug L. Feb 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice and cozy Perfect getaway for a one night stay for a family of 4. I recommend a family of 5 but beyond that according to the owner, it would be tough with 6+ sharing one bathroom. Place was nice and cozy with a gas light fireplace. Location is within a gated community. A few local diners and market around and a secret sledding area for my kids as mention through communication with the owner. During winter I would recommend chain depending on the weather but it has been sunny throughout our trip so no chain required. Definitely would stay again! Thank you so much for the precious memories! ##### Doug L. Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Etta H.
