This trip was a return to Overlook for us and it was all that we remembered. Beautiful and quiet location. Spacious and comfortable cabin. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.
From the moment we opened the front door, we were amazed at the view. The snow on the trees and running water of the river below made it picture perfect! The common area was cozy, and the home was large enough for us to also spread out. The game room was a lot of fun! We enjoyed spirited poker games, ping pong and pool! We will definitely be back! Thanks Dennis!
We love this house and its location near Pinecrest lake. Itâs large living and kitchen area are very nice. Well kept up and nicely situated among sugar pine and cedar trees overlooking the river.
This is our second stay at Outlook, and we had a great stay once again!
The property is perfect for our family of 5, and itâs location is so convenient to get to the Dodge Ridge ski resort.
We look forward to our next stay!
We had a fabulous stay. The cabin is clean, well stocked and peaceful. So many evening on the deck listening to the river below. We canât wait to visit again. Thank you!
We love staying at Overlook. This is the second year we have visited, to this the Overlook, and plan to continue more years in the future.
The family loves the access to the river, the quaintness of the cabin and the familiarity of the location.
Thanks you Dennis for another fantasitic visit to Strawberry this year.
Our family enjoyed another peaceful and relaxing stay at this great property! Dennis is a terrific host and the cabin was perfect for our get-away to the mountains. The river was so high this year! We loved seeing and hearing the rush of water while sitting on the deck. Wonderful long weekend!
We had a wonderful first stay at the Overlook Cabin. The house was very clean and comfortable. While the river was extremely high and cold and not possible to get into it provided a wonderful backdrop for our stay. We will be back!
The location is amazing. The cabin is beautiful. The owner was informative and extremely pleasant & responsive. I don't know what more I can say that would top, "We'll definitely be back at some point in the near future."
We enjoyed our week at the Overlook Cabin in mid-May. Great location, the cabin is right above the S. Fork of the Stanislaus River. River was running high and fast with record Sierra snow melt, we could see and hear it clearly as it roared by. House had everything we needed and plenty of hiking is available right outside the door or within a few miles. Will definitely be back.
We had another wonderful trip at the Overlook. This is at least the fourth time that we have stayed there and it is always wonderful. We did lose power for a few hours on Saturday morning, but made the best of it:). Be back in July.:). Thanks Dennis
My husband, adult daughter and I had a wonderful 3-night stay at Overlook Cabin. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed. The absolute highlight of this cabin is its location, perched above the beautiful south fork of the Stanislaus River. We could scramble down to the riverâs edge and take a lovely stroll through the forest, right from the door of the cabin. We hated to leave. Highly recommended!
This is a truly beautiful cabin set just above the Stanislaus River. The setting is gorgeous and the cabin was perfect for our family. The pine wood paneling is beautifully done with loads of natural light and huge windows to take in the natural beauty that surrounds this gem. Dennis was easy to communicate with. A stones throw from the mountain for skiing with easy access making for long enjoyable days on the slopes. We will definitely be back. Weâve stayed a number of places in the area over the years for winter ski trips and The Overlook is by far our fav. Thanks so much for a memorable week! Canât wait to return!!!
I love Strawberry and the Overlook Cabin. Beside the fact that it is really a gorgeous cabin, totally outfitted with everything youâd need with top of the line stuff, it is in a wonderful setting with the beautiful Stanislaus River flowing by. My only quibble is that Verizon coverage was very spotty and there is no internet. Once you accept that, it is heaven!
Great property, privacy yet close to stream,lake and stores.Had 2 days where upstairs gas range would not lite up.Cleaning people where very late.We didnt get in until 5 pm but they were very nice and did a good job with the cleaning.It was a very peaceful stay,loved the sound of the river nearby.
Had a nice time, but found some issues needing fixed. 1. wall heater in "en suite" bathroom not working 2. ceiling fan in same bathroom hanging from ceiling by wires 3 remote for fan/light in kitchen not working 4 light bulb in fan/light in living area burnt out 5. Oven badly in need of cleaning 6. Need seating for 4 on lower level (couch holds max of three for watching tv
Upon arrival, we found there were no sheets on beds, no towels, and no toiletries in bathrooms. After searching cabinets, we found some worn-out towels and overused blanketsâsome of which were dirty. I spent the entire evening doing laundry and setting up beds. There was no shampoo or body wash. Lacking of items that are inexpensive yet essential for guests caused significant inconvenience, especially in a rural area. This is the first time in 20 years we encountered a situation like asking renters to bring everything. Since this is NOT standard practice, it should be CLEARLY outlined on the VRBO listing and communicated very WELL to renters.As no comforters were provided, we tried to rely on the heating system, but the cabin's heating was uneven. My son experienced a nosebleed due to the high temperature in the living room, but it was still cold in the bedrooms so that we had to rely on multiple blankets, some of which had black mold-like spots that could not be washed out.Lack of blinds on most windows and all exterior doors posed privacy issues. The cabinâs location on a slope makes it easy for anyone outside to look in. We had to turn off the lights while showering or going to bed to ensure privacy.After I shared my concerns with the host, but the response was disappointing. Rather than addressing the issues constructively, we got retaliatory and unwarranted accusations. I hope this feedback helps address these issues and leads to improvements for future renters.
We absolutely love the Overlook cabin. Itâs nestled into a very quiet court on the Stanislaus river. There are so many things to do in the area. We enjoyed the lake, hiking, fishing, river walks, and having a beautiful place to relax in. The overlook had all of the amenities we needed. Sitting on the deck in the early mornings watching the sun come up over the river, priceless.
