Great Property Attentive Owner

Beautiful, well equipped house. Wonderful views from the deck. We loved watching the sunset. Really close to the lake with great hikes. The owner always responded quickly and gave great suggestions for local activities.

Judy and Carlos' place in Portola was great for our buddy golf trip. Great location right next to the lake, stunning views, and the house had everything we could possibly need. Was only 15 minutes from Grizzly Ranch, and there were a few other courses near by. We particularly enjoyed the projector room, and porch. Reasonably priced, everything was comfortable so overall would recommend.

We were a small group of four who came up to play some golf and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We really enjoyed staying here - my group loves to cook. The home is as advertised, the kitchen is extremely well appointed, and the barbecue was excellent. The home would work well for larger groups too. The host had everything set up for an easy arrival and was also easy to communicate with. Highly recommend for those visiting the area that want a very comfortable home with a great host.

Very comfortable home in the woods!

We had a great stay for our Thanksgiving holiday! The house exceeded our expectations. From the high quality linens/towels/beds to the beautiful view. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils and dishware needed for Thanksgiving dinner. The host had great communication and the check in/out process was very easy. We loved the outdoor fireplace to gather around and take in the view. We will look forward to visiting again. Nick & Shawna

Yearly golf trip with the guys

Carlos’s cabin is fantastic. Every year we take a trip up to the Portola area for our golf outing and this year our group grew to 8. The cabin had more than enough room for us and had everything we needed and then some. Excellent location, spacious, and clean. Carlos is easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Will be back in the future!

We absolutely loved our stay at this home! It served as the perfect home base for our golfing adventure, with several amazing courses located right in the area. After a long day out on the links, it was wonderful to come back to such a beautiful and relaxing space.The house is incredibly spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. It was clear the hosts put a lot of thought into making sure it was well-stocked and beautifully appointed with everything we could possibly need.Another highlight of our trip was spending evenings on the deck as night fell. Because the neighborhood is nice and quiet, and away from city lights, the stargazing was absolutely spectacular. Listening to the nighthawks and other birds under a sky full of stars was unforgettable.On top of the beautiful property, the hosts were wonderfully attentive and responsive. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would love to stay here again!
