3 Bedroom Cabin in Iowa Hill, Colfax

This clean comfortable off the grid family cabin in the woods is the perfect Tahoe National Forest escape (on the west side of Tahoe National Forest about 1.5 hours away from Truckee and 1.75 hours from Lake Tahoe). Enjoy grilling during summer months or staying warm by the wood burning stove on snowy winter nights. We have a variety of games, puzzles, books, & DVDs for your entertainment. With nearby trails, dirt bike riding, lakes, hunting and shooting areas this cabin is a great home base for all your mountain adventures year round. Open floor plan with 2 bedrooms and a third room that can be used as a private bedroom or a family room. There is one bathroom in the cabin and one in a little room that is accessible from outside for muddy boots, fish and all the messy stuff that comes with fun. This cabin does not have electric service so it runs off a propane fired generator. Don't worry, I will be there to show you how to use it and in a minute you will forget that you are not connected to the power company.

Summary: The cabin was accurately advertised. It was a bit far from town for our purposes, but I didn't realize that when I booked it. Owner was very responsive, kind and helpful! Overall, the place was wonderful. This would be a great place to go and stay for a relaxing few days away from it all. There are a lot of lights, but they are low output, so it was hard to get enough light. We needed some ventilation upstairs, but one of the windows wouldn't open due to the blinds being installed incorrectly. There are lots of games provided and flotation devices for lake fun. Overall, a good experience!

Summary: Loved this property! A bit further off main rds than expected but just made it that more enjoyable and quiet. Enjoyed how host welcomed us to use the house fireplace, and we used it! The host answered all my random questions within minutes of me sending. Do note cell service is pretty non-existant. A text might go out (my carrier isnt the best) but definitely used the wifi and other lines of communication. Beds were very comfortable. Just a perfect "like home" stay.

Summary: Our family had a wonderful stay at this little cabin in the woods. It was a true winter wonderland. Shelli was an amazing host. So thoughtful and kind, we felt like she was family. She went over and beyond to make our stay wonderful. My son had a blast running through the woods, making a snowman, sledding....all the fun winter things. The pups had fun playing in the snow and walking through the woods. It was purely magical. We can't wait to visit again!

Summary: Would go back for sure. Minutes to lake, paddle board heaven. Loved the piece, grandson loved the swing most of all. The basketball net and outdoor bathroom were also a great hit. Grandson was a little disappointed that there was no Bigfoot siting. Lol

Summary: The host was amazing and flexible for check in and out. They provided all and above the necessities for our stay. There were five of us and we slept comfortably with four beds upstairs and one pull-out couch. Having the extra outdoor bathroom was a life saver! We were able to prepare meals and BBQ with no issues. We sat on the observation deck at night and were able to appreciate the stars. All of the trails and streams/lakes were close by. What a wonderful experience! We will be coming back.
