This cabin exceeded my expectations. Very comfortable, warm and inviting. It has everything for everyone. Big enough for a large group. The host was very kind and receptive. I’d recommend this cabin who’d like a great experience in the foothills.

The host David is great! Lots of communication to make sure we had everything we needed and very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. The Den was clean, warm, inviting, and most importantly relaxing. I can't praise this host and location enough. Everything for our extended family visit was great. Don't hesitate to book this one! We stayed over Thanksgiving week 2025 and were able to easily cook up Thanksgiving dinner in the well stocked kitchen. We will definitely be back.

Dave's Den is a spectacular cabin nestled in the beautiful forest near Big Trees state park and Bear Valley. It really was a perfect spot for our family group of 7 to have an autumn getaway. The house is very comfortable with plenty of space to spread out and then gather together around games, playing pool, cooking, or watching tv. We loved the bear and forest animal decor and each room had so many thoughtful touches. The beds are super comfortable. The loft area was spacious and we had a lot of fun at the pool table, and even tried out the drum set! Kitchen was well stocked and we did all our cooking at the house. Dave is a very responsive host. We even had a brief power outage but the generator kicked in to where we didn't even notice it. This is definitely one of our better experiences with a vacation rental and we hope to come back!
