Nice place in a great location
Our family enjoyed our stay. The owners were easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The house itself is large, comfortable, and peacefully situated in the woods. Very close to the CA Lodge at Heavenly and near some great hiking. Also only a quick trip into town if needed. Overally really enjoyed our stay.

Snow wonderland
Very spacious location with wonderful hosts that go out their way to make you comfortable. The ‘Tall Tree lodge’ makes very good use of space and does provide ample bedroom space for families. It does require a fair amount of steps to get up to the house, so consider that if there are folks with ADA needs but otherwise very comfortable and warmly inviting once there!

Relaxing Paradise
Fun place to stay!! Lots of little areas to spread out and explore. Close to all of South Lake. Owners were amazing and super responsive. Our kids thought it was the coolest house ever. One thing to note, there is a TON of stairs up to the house and inside. It would not be good for a new walker, older person or anyone with an injury.

Great place, great location!
Property is even better in person! Listing was accurate and it is in a great location! We really really enjoyed sitting around the kitchen table, using the hot tub, and having a nice fire one night. House has everything you need to fly in for the weekend and have a great time. They even welcomed us with some frozen pizzas and beer! The property is very very quiet but only minutes away from plenty of fun activities. Thank again, I would recommend Tall Tree Lodge to anyone looking for a wonderful place to share with a large group of friends or family!!

Perfect Location!
This great home has everything you need and more. The owners make sure that you feel like a friend coming to visit their property and are available for any concerns. The home backs up to National Forest property and you feel like you are on the edge of town although you are right in the heart of it. The property is very well maintained and the owners have made some impressive updates, i.e. heated steps up to the property. We look forward to staying here again.

Lyle S., Pittsburgh

Feels private & secluded
The cabin is large and well laid out for groups of families with kids given the 2 large, private master bedrooms and the smaller kids rooms w multiple beds. Given the huge amount of snow this year, it was bit harder to get to the Heavenly California lifts than expected, but we still walked to/from and it was easy to make a car drop off as well. Owners were easy to communicate with and have equipped the cabin with plenty of extras to make your stay comfy. If you’re looking for sleek, new & state of the art- look for a different place; but comfortable, close & secluded… then this is your place.

Can't wait to come back
This was was absolutely perfect for our long weekend getaway. We came up with 6 teenage boys for a birthday celebration and the house fit us perfectly. All of the boys took the upstairs bedrooms while my husband and I stayed downstairs. The huge open downstairs was great for hanging out. There were so many outdoor seating areas as well. The hot tub and firepit was great after a long day. There were definitely a lot of steps to get to the house, but this wasn't a big deal for us. The host was very easy to communicate with and showed us around the house when we arrived. This house is old and has been lived in well so don't expect it to be squeaky clean.

Awesome house for the fam!
The house and yard are wonderful, the location is fantastic. The stairs to the house were a bit hard on the elderly members of my family, but we knew what we were getting into after reading some reviews. The loft bedrooms were also a bit tricky to visualize from the description and it took a few conversations to understand if it would work for us. For our kids, they work great. Better photos or a video tour would be very helpful. All in all, the house was really fun- Great for kids, great for the dog, with plenty of things to get into without even leaving the house. Hot tub was clean, yard was fantastic, awesome mountain biking trail only a couple blocks away, beach down the hill…Hope to return someday. Hosts were wonderful.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
45 steps to house
Overall the main living area of the house was nice for a group or family. The house is older and worn. The main issue was the 45 steps to get to the house. It was extremely difficult carrying luggage and our groceries, etc., to the main house. Plus to get to 4 of the beds you have to go through another bedroom or use a very old spiral staircase. There were no written instructions to use hot tub, to use the Roku TV system or departure instructions.

The location was perfect for our ski trip and the hosts were very accommodating. We did have some concerns regarding cleanliness as there was an obvious ant problem and some rotten food in the fridge. Overall though, our hosts were very responsive to questions throughout our stay.
