FAQ's - Feel free to call/email with additional questions
and/or visit our website for complete information.

What is the bed and bath configuration of the cabin?
Master Bedroom #1 - 1 Queen with shared bath with family room
(granite counter, tile floor, marble bath/shower)
Upstairs Master #2 - 2 Queens with fireplace and private
bath (granite counter, tile floor, marble shower)
Upstairs Bedroom #3 - 1 Double and 1 Twin with shared bath (w/
Bedroom#4) (granite, tile, marble shower)
Upstairs Bedroom #4 - 2 Doubles and 3 Twins with gas fireplace
and shared bath (w/Bedroom #3)
Beds include mattress covers, blankets, pillows with covers and
nice comforters.

Does the cabin have towel/linen service?
Unfortunately no. One of the nice things about Strawberry is
that it IS NOT Lake Tahoe! However, one of the drawbacks is that
less services are available. Laundry/maid service is not available
in the area. So, please plan to bring towels and sheets as you
desire. Typically, folks bring sleeping bags for the kids and only
worry about the adults. However, whatever works for you!

Does the cabin have a washer/dryer available for use?
Yes. The laundry room is just outside the kitchen door in its
own 'building' . Supplies are provided so feel free to use as
needed.

How close is the nearest grocery store and/or restaurants?
There are three small grocery stores nearby for simple needs.
The smallest is in Strawberry (walking distance). Cold Springs
(about 3 miles down hwy 108) and in Pinecrest (about 3 miles off hwy
108/ Dodge Ridge road and then straight towards the lake). The
largest full-service grocery store is in Twain Harte about 20
minutes away. It is a very very nice store! On your way up, take
the 2nd Twain Harte exit and it is on your right after about 1/2
mile, so plan to stop by on your way up to load up for your trip!

Are dogs allowed?
Usually, however, please call to discuss your specific
situation. We are dog lovers ourselves, so we tend to say yes.
However, we do not guarantee that we will say yes. Ultimately,
keeping the condition of our cabin is the #1 priority. THX!

How close to Pinecrest Lake and/or Dodge Ridge ski resort?
Pinecrest Lake is about 3 miles away, take hwy 108 back down
the mountain and then take your first left on Dodge Ridge road and
then head straight. It is a mountain lake GEM! Dodge Ridge is
about 6 miles away. Same directions as Pinecrest Lake except turn
right on Dodge Ridge road vice heading straight to the lake. Easy!

What is included with the kitchen?
The kitchen includes all the pots/pans/bakeware/coffee
maker/griddle/popcorn maker/dishes/cups/wine glasses/silverware/prep
bowls most folks will need. However, if you are making something
that requires specific cookware, don't hesitate to ask.

What is the TV/STEREO/GAME setup?
The family room has a 32" TV with DISH Network America's Pack
200 programming including local channels. There is also a DVD
player and a portable stereo. The DVD player will also play music
through the TV. Upstairs Master #2 has a 27" TV with DishNetwork
and a DVD player. This TV has rear-jacks for game box setups. The
kids room/Upstairs Bedroom #4 has a 30" TV with rear jacks and
is ready for game play.

How do I get the keys?
The keys are located on the property attached to a front door
LOCK BOX. So, several days before your arrival I will provide the
access code. Easy! Be sure to leave the keys in the LOCK BOX and
close it when you depart! THX!

Are pictures available of the inside?
Yes. The inside is very very nice. All natural Pine walls
throughout, with hardwood floors downstairs and carpet upstairs.
All baths have granite countertops, tile floors and marble showers.
Not quite a HILTON hotel, but very nice for a cabin retreat! We
just don't have a wide angle digit SLR camera to get good shots.
So, our inside pics never do the house justice. However, if you do
wish to see the pics, we will happily email to you. Wanna take some
nice pics are email to us?!!

Are there really fish in the river?
Absolutely, the Department of Fish and Game stocks trout just
upstream from us during the summer months. The river is fed from
Pinecrest Lake and therefore flows all year round. The fishing hole
just off the downstairs deck is always popular with the locals, as
it is one of the few places with a quiet hole with rapids on both
sides. They 'rest' here! Fishing supplies and licenses can be
purchased from the local grocery stores (see above).

How is the parking?
During the summer there is tons of parking around the long
circular driveway. However, the bottom part of the driveway in-
front of the cabin is not well suited for rear-dully wheel
vehicles. In the winter we have a plow service that clears the
second half of the circular driveway and in front of the garage on
the street. This plowed area will usually park around 5 cars.
However, if it snows more than 6 inches during your stay, expect to
shovel a little (snow shovels provided), as the snow plow can't
access the driveway if you are using it for parking. Expect about a
50 foot walk to the cabin in the winter and remember that the ground
can be slippery/icy! Take precautions as necessary walking down the
driveway in icy conditions.
