Great Family Retreat donna p. from Forest Knoll, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in February, 2013 This cabin was great for 2 families with kids. The kitchen had everything we needed and there was plenty of room for us to eat together. The kids loved the games and the teenaged girls loved their own space downstairs. We can't wait to return next year. |

Winter Wonderland Martha H. from Oakland, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in January, 2013 The cabin is lovely and in a beautiful location. The kids enjoyed sledding right outside. Our only difficulty was putting on chains to get up the road leading to the property. Property Manager Response: Response from Big Trees Vacation Rentals a practice run at putting on chains before coming to the sierras is a good idea. |

Great house, prop mgmt company just ok A guest from REDWOOD CITY, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in December, 2012 This is a great house with a nice open layout. It has big windows with forest views as well as a private sledding hill! The upstairs needs baseboards and wine glasses would be nice, but generally this is a great house. Unfortunately we had an issue with the driveway not being plowed, so be careful. Property Manager Response: Response from Big Trees Vacation Rentals driveway is plowed depending on snow fall. If ever a problem please call our office and we will gladly get the plow service out to take care of the problem. |

Nice cabin A guest from Modesto, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in November, 2012 We really enjoyed our stay at the Morton cabin. We were very thankful that we were allowed to bring our pets. The cabin is very beautiful and well cared for. There are a few things that didn't work out so well for us because we have small children in our family. First, the only bathrooms are on the 2nd floor and in the basement. This can be difficult for small children. Also, sound really carries throughout the cabin, making sleep difficult at times. All in all, its a very nice place. |

Repeated stay in Morton Cabin A guest from San Bruno, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in September, 2012 The cabin works great for our family. The layout gives privacy when needed. The location is removed from the main roads and there is plenty of safe areas for the kids to play outside. |

Peaceful Redwood Castle Dawn S. from Sonora, California recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in August, 2012 Magnificent home in a peaceful setting. Clean, child/family oriented. Within 5 min. of downtown shopping, dining yet close to fishing, swimming, Big Trees, etc.Could not have been better. |

A great Valentine's Day get-away A guest from Valley Springs, California recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in February, 2012 This cabin looks small from the outside but it's really quite roomy, clean and cozy. The fireplace is beautiful! We loved it there and almost felt it was a waste just the two of us staying there. It sleeps 8 in separate bedrooms - would be fun to go back up with a group but we'd go back either way. |

Our stay at the Morton Cabin A guest from Hayward, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in July, 2011 No real big items just some irritating things to mention. The Weber was not very clean and the tools to clean the grill were very dirty. It would have been nice to have a bathroom on the main level.We did have ants invading the kitchen which made it annoying. The house fan helped cool the place somewhat but air conditioning would have been better. One last thing, not having cell service and not being able to dial out except for local calls was frustrating. Overall not bad the place was roomy and was able to room a fair amount of people. Lots of selections of games to play was nice. Property Manager Response: Response from Big Trees Vacation Rentals Unfortunately, we cannot add a bathroom to the main floor of this cabin. The cooler mountain weather makes air conditioning something that is rarely needed in the summer months. The nights cool off considerably with very few hot days/nights to endure. We do not have long distance calling from our cabins, this becomes too costly for our owners. Many of our guests use calling cards during their stay. The rental office does offer free internet use to our guests as well as long distance calling should calls need to be made. This is a cabin enjoyed by many new and returning guests. |

Wonderful Winter Retreat A guest from Alviso, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in February, 2011 The cabin is beautiful. And the location was superb for our family get together. The hillside location made a perfect sledding run for the kids right outside the door -- and they didn't have far to go to warm up when they got cold. Property Manager Response: Response from Big Trees Vacation Rentals Great cabin! |

This is a perfect house for 2 families A guest from Moss Beach, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in September, 2010 We had a great time and this is a perfect house for 2 families. That said, there was an extremely foul odor predominately in the lower level. Also, the bathroom downstairs was not completely cleaned. |

Would be nice if you had a note as to how to enter the form above and how to "fill it out". Reviewed by: Colleen L. recommends this property. Stayed for 7 days in February, 2010 The thermostat in the lower level seemed to have only two settings -- on and off. If left on, the place became a sauna; off, it got cold. Although the house was extremely well equipped, it did have somewhat of an unfinished feeling -- no baseboards, painted sub-flororing for example.Overall, however, we found the house quite comfortable. Property Manager Response: Response from Big Trees Vacation Rentals Some portions of cabins are not perfect, but the greater portion of this cabin makes up for the unfinished sections of the basement. This is a great cabin |

Morton Family Cabin A guest from Modesto, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in January, 2010 Was a beautiful cabin with great views! I was hesitant about a "fake" fireplace prior to going but was soo nice when we got there to be able to turn the switch and have a fire! Would definitely stay in this cabin again. Those who slept in the basement/ downstairs area wanted to make sure I mention the crazy amount of spiders! Don't know that anything can really be done about that though.... it is the mountains! |

We have been coming to this area for the last 25 years and this is the best equipped home. Thanks for sharing it with us. Joan S. from Concord, Ca. recommends this property. Stayed for 8 days in August, 2009 I have never rented another home which was as well stocked in the kitchen. There were ants on the sink which we think we eradicated. A bigger problem may be the carpenter ants we saw in the upstairs front small bedroom going into the bathroom across the hall. I realize these can be quite a problem in the mountains. We love the rec area! Grandchildren all went swimming and enjoyed the water polo! |

Great location, but cabin was in poor conditions for the price. A guest from Roseville, CA does not recommend this property. Stayed for 3 days in January, 2009 Duck tape chairs, dog hair through out, and dirty restroom downstairs was the most frustrating part of the cabin. Overall great location the kitchen size is great! Property Manager Response: This client liked the home with the few exceptions to this home. The couch has been replace with a new leather sofa. Sierra Vacation Rentals will always respond to clients who call us with problems. We answer calls 24 hours a day 7 days a week. |

Stayed for 2 days in July, 2008 Only 1 issue that we had, our map provided to us had the correct address on it but the highlighted section showing how to get to the property was directed to the wrong location. It was getting dark so It was a little frustrating at first till we figured it out, as far as the cabin it was great, just need a nice patio area with better furniture so we can enjoy the outdoors more. |

GREAT VACATION, but unprepared A guest from Rocklin, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in August, 2007 First, the house was beautiful and comfortable and we loved the location. The check-in/check-out times are a bit ridiculous. We rent vacation homes several times a year and usually the check-in/check-out times let you actually enjoy the house those days. With this house, we felt it was WAY overpriced for the little amount of time it was available to us on the check-in/check-out days. So, we requested an early check-in time and a later check-out time(otherwise we would have stayed somwhere else). The representative on the phone was very nice and accomodating. She changed our times and sent us our revised contract with the new times very quickly. But when we arrived, the staff in the office was unprepared, and not very helpful and didn't want to honor the revised times. We showed the contract and received the keys, but the staff at this point was not very nice. When we arrived at the house, there was a big bag of garbage in the kitchen and all the bathrooms were very dirty. |

Great Place To Stay!! A guest from Morgan Hill, California recommends this property. Stayed for 5 days in August, 2007 The Morton Cabin was a wonderful get away for me and my family. I grew up going to Big Trees with my parents and it is a great place to visit and my kids are begging to go back again as we had so much fun. We had ALL the luxuries of home and yet we were in a beautiful peaceful location. I would recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to stay in a secluded yet driving distance from everything!!! Thanks Again for such a great experience!! |
