This was our second visit - we love the cabin! The game room is so much fun for kids and adults, and we enjoyed the back yard zip lines too. Interior is somewhat dated but very comfortable for a winter getaway. Dismayed by lack of tea kettle and condition of pots and pans, but no big deal. We'd love to return if the rate is reasonable, but it is creeping up. Thank you for a fun stay, we hope to come back!

The house had everything you could want with kids on a Labor Day forest getaway. We played in the yard, the play room, and watched a movie. We somehow also made time to visit the big trees and swim in the pool. Beds were pretty comfortable.

This was my first cabin rental experience, so I was surprised by a couple of things:
-linens and towels were provided as extras (had to ask) and smelled strongly of detergent and fabric softener.
-While the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pans, and dishes, the drawers and cabinets were dirty and disorganized. Maybe that’s normal for a cabin?
-There was some Folgers coffee in the cabinet, but not enough for our whole stay. No sugar was found. I think coffee and sugar should be a standard amenity.
-The carpets and floors were not clean enough for a shoes-off policy.
-Dishwasher has come loose from the cabinet/countertop, so you had to wiggle it in place to close the door.
-Back slider has a loose up/down lock mechanism, which makes it possible to lock yourself out.
-Mattresses are old and worn. Still okay, but not like a hotel.

Wonderful stay!

It really was a kids' paradise! Our kids loved the zip line and the 2nd floor kids' zone with foosball, legos, tv, dvd, pool table, etc! The kitchen and bathrooms/laundry were well stocked with all the basics. There were plenty of blankets and pillows, just needed our own sheets and towels as noted in the agreement. We had a great time and hope to stay here again!

Manager's Response

Very glad to hear you likes Moore Big Trees. It is one of our most sought after homes - so many "extras" - for winter and summer stays. Please come again soon!

We thought it was extremely easy to select, rent, communicate and check-in to this property. The cabin was all we were hoping it would be and more. The rental company and cabin owners made us feel welcome and at home. The surrounding area was absolutely gorgeous compared to other areas in the Sierras. If this rental is ever up for sale - we would be serious buyers.

Great location, ideal summer cabin for a family looking to spend some quality time together. I was happy with alevrything about the rebtal with the exception of the garbage situation. Due to the disposal site being closed for two days, we were forced to store our garbage inside and despite our best attempts, the smell was hard to cover. I recommend possibly renting a secure dumpster for those having big extended time frames in which the disposal site is closed.

Manager's Response

So sorry about the garbage situation. Our office does provide garbage pick-up. Next visit please call us to arrange this service for you. Unfortunately even with secure garbage containers bears are atttracted by the garbage smell and then become more frustrated. We do not want bears anywhere near our rental properties for a frustrated bear is a dead bear and we do not want these beautiful animals eliminated due to garbage attraction. Glad you enjoyed this wonderful cabin and we hope you will come to the Moore Big Trees cabin as our guest again.

I visited with my daughter,son-in-law and 3 grandchildren (15 year old boy and girl twins) and 8 year old little sister. Everyone found games, and activities they enjoyed doing. Cabin was great! Accurate description. It was clean, although carpet could use shampooing. Reservations was easy. Managers were helpful and professional. Beautiful lakes, rivers for fishing. Big Trees State park was wonderful highlight of weekend! Definitely will recommend to friends.

Manager's Response

So glad you had a nice visit. This cabin is well enjoyed by many returning guests. The carpets are cleaned twice a year and after the summer season this will be addressed again.

The cabin was comfortable. Only problem was the kitchen appliances. the oven did not work and the dishwasher didn't clean dishes in the top shelf.

Manager's Response

The oven is new and worked just fine when checked after guests mentioned the temperature of the oven did not heat appropriately. Guessing this was guest error in the use of the settings? The dishes put in the dishwasher cannot have dried food left on them for this will not clean them appropriately. This cabin has just about everything you could want in amenities. A favorite for many returning guests year after year. The zip line is one of the highlights of this cabin, enjoyed by both adults and children. Come and try it for yourself.

This is a perfect cabin for two families with a lot of kids. Great activities and off of the grid, as we never were able to get the wifi to work, but that is part of the mountains. Loved the new furniture. Great Kitchen and lots of hot water. Very clean!!
We did miss the gas grill and had to go buy charcoal, but no big deal.

Our family had a fantastic vacation at Moore Big Trees. The kids had fun. The zipline at the back was especially fun. Situated in Camp Connell, this cabin is ideally located with easy access to Hwy 4. The work areas with the roof skylights on the 2nd floor were just perfect for a quiet read, focused work, with tons of natural light filling the entire area.

Big Trees Realty were very helpful, considerate and timely. Was a pleasure to work with them! Would definitely rent again through Big Trees Realty.

The cabin was amazing! A bit smaller than we thought but felt 10 times the size. Wonderful weather, warm nights and cool days in the cabin. Pool table and fooseball table kept everyone entertained. Very clean when we arrived.

Manager's Response

Thanks for your review! The Moore Big Trees/Kids Paradise cabin is one of our most popular. The cabin is just under 1700 square feet but with the large loft upstairs it certainly feels much bigger. The cabin has tons of amenities, including the pool and foosball tables, and is set up for kids and adults alike to have a blast while staying. We are very glad you enjoyed your time there and hope you come back for another visit in the future!

It looks like these folks reviewed the wrong cabin! They stayed in one of our most popular homes, the Woodbery Lodge. I'm not sure what wasn't clean as nothing was reported to us, but glad that this family enjoyed their stay. The proximity to Big Trees State Park is definitely a perk!

We stayed at the Moore Big Trees cabin for 3 nights. The cabin is well located, about 20 min drive to Bear Valley. It has lots of entertainment including a zip line, a pool table and a huge selection of movies and games. The kids had a blast! The cabin was clean and the beds were comfortable. This is the 4th time we use Big Trees Real Estate for renting a cabin in that area, they are very friendly and accommodating. They have always provided excellent service.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your kind remarks! We are so glad that you enjoyed all of the available fun activities at the Moore Big Trees cabin. This property is well stocked and is always enjoyed by guests young and old! The zip line is always a popular item, especially because the owner leaves it up for use year round. We strive to give our guests a most enjoyable stay and are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here in the mountains. Thank you and we look forward to having you back again!

We had a great time and will return. This cabin has so many fun things to do and is close to a grocery store and ski resort. It snowed the first day we were there and was so pretty. All the kids had a great time playing pool, foosball and video games on the day it was drizzly and cold. The management company is very helpful and friendly, as well.

Manager's Response

We are so glad you enjoyed the Moore Big Trees cabin! It is a very well equipped cabin and has fun amenities for both young and old. It is quite beautiful when the snow dusts the forest. Thank you for your kind comments and we look forward to having you back!

The cabin was great. Quiet, close to the river, loved the rec center and the lake was great. Zip line and swing were a hit. The only concern was the zip line was broke at the bottom. My husband fixed it. The deck was dangerous in some spots. Needs o be refinished .

This owner is diligent about up keeping his cabin. We will check the zip line. I walked the deck and could not find any area of concern? Thanks for the comments, will inform our owner.

It was a year ago that we stayed at the Moore Big Trees house had a blast and came back to visit it again. The "Kids Paradise" in the title secretly means "will bring out the kid in you". We brought a handful of teenagers and were able to let them do "their" thing, while we went on to do "our" thing and really had a chance to settle in and enjoy some of the many amenities. I really appreciate the location and room to play outside. Next time, we will have to come in the summertime to appreciate the nice deck and speakers wired in everywhere. As always it is a pleasure dealing with Sierra Vacation Rentals/Big Trees Realty.

The place to stay when taking time with the family!

Dan was great with a last minute reservation, and Linea waited after hours, because we were delayed in getting up to pick up the keys. the condition of the cabin's furniture is a bit dated, but we did not go to sit to grade the furniture. They stated you need to bring some basics but alot was there already provided. The pool table, fooseball, darts and now a days the wifi was great to unwind after a long day of snowmobiling, Skiing or sledding at Bear Valley. Parking for 5 vehicles and if it would snow the kids could sled in the drive way , because it is located in the back of a circle, or play on the swing or ride the zip line. We will be back!

Enjoyable stay!

We love the cabin and the location, plus the swing and how there can be snow around the cabin, though this time not quite enough to sled on the grounds. We greatly appreciate the owners renting their cabin out to people. And we noticed the cook top was fixed with all 4 burners working. -- Thank you!

Everything was great except of a challenging driveway. We had a lot of snow during our stay, and returning in the evening from skiing required a lot of shoveling and several attempts to drive up the driveway.

Manager's Response

Always bring chains along with you if traveling to the sierras, especially if you do not have four wheel drive. This driveway has a snow plow contract and is cleared as often as needed with the snow fall.

A wonderful place to spend family time in the evening cooking dinner and eating around the table. River fishing was great, and visiting Lake Alpine, Spicer Res. and Pinecrest Lake were so much fun for all of us. Shopping Murphys was a plus for the girls and let's not forget our visit to the Caverns!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin, it was clean and had everything we needed (and a lot more) for a very enjoyable stay in the mountains. But... I'd have to say the boys had the best time, tons of entertainment for them, they had a blast.

I think the fee for the receation area is too much. I only used the pool for two days ( totaling four hours) - I was charged $ 35.00. I would like a newer cabin next year.

Manager's Response

Recreation pool use is optional. There are many wonderful lakes in the area to swim at if a pool isn't your choice. The lakes are free. This cabin is hard to pass up for the many amenities that it has to offer. Guests return yearly to this cabin to enjoy the Zipline, and to discover the new amenities that this cabin owner has added for guest enjoyment. This year a horseshoe pit has been added and has been a popular addition for our guests.

We loved the location, it was up higher than previous rentals and the area surrounding the Moore cabin was spacious. As soon as we walked in, the kids instantly had their music going upstairs and you could hear them having a ball playing pool. The zip line outside was also a hit. We were fortunate enough to be there and get a good dose of snow. As always, the property management was more than helpful and always friendly.

Moore Big Trees (Kids Paradise)was a great place for us: 2 adults,2 kids,1 dog. The kids could play outside or inside when Mom & Dad wanted to relax on the deck. Nearby White Pines Lake was nice - and it was great to come back to a comfortable place to
BBQ and play some family games. Kitchen had everything I needed tool-wise for cooking. Do bring slippers or thick socks - not the place to walk around barefoot.

When we arrived the whole house had lights on including the deck, music was on and the fans. We found it uncomfortable

Manager's Response

The housekeeping staff prepares all of our cabins for guest arrival in this way. If you come at night then lights are welcoming instead of entering a dark cabin. The fans were to keep the cabin cool with the summer heat. And the music was just a nice welcoming atmosphere to walk into. This was the first time we have heard it being unpleasant.

great getaway!

We had a great time at the cabin. Had a killer billiard competition. The deck was awesome.

The property was clean from the cleaners coming through, but it really needs a deep cleaning. Alot of the pans, silverware etc. wasn't very clean- but it is now!

The cupboards need to be wiped out and organized. The carpets need to be cleaned. (walking barefoot turned all our feet blackish) Also a little more space in the cupboards for food storage or somewhere would have been helpful.

We would recommend it to people certainly and the management was most accomodating. I am only mentioning the cleaning to help you get a feel for what needs to be done. good vacation!!

Quiet, private neighborhood. Lots of snow to build snowmen and igloo. Not enough incline for sledding, but the zip line and tree swing in the backyard were lots of fun. Great having the pool table and foosball for entertainment at night. Stereo system is also piped throughout the house and even outside. There's independent heating in each bedroom -- a big plus.

There are plenty of DVDs, and a game console. Internet was available but on a very slow modem connection. Would be nice if there was WiFi and broadband considering there is no cell phone reception.

There's a W/D so you can wash your clothes which means less to pack. Plenty of heavy blankets and pillows are provided but are old. You must bring your own towels, pillow cases, and sheets, which is a little cumbersome.

Overall, the house cleanliness was satisfactory. Some of the windows were smudgy and the oven needs cleaning. (Next time I'll make a note to management.) It was a little much that we had to put all the dishes away from the dishwasher, clear the fridge, gather up all the garbage, take off our linens and make the beds before we left at 10 am. I was hoping our cleaning fee would take care of that. Then again, that could be why the cleaning fee is so low.

We will stay in Big Trees Village again.

We really enjoyed the cabin. The amendities were great. The couches felt pretty old as well as the carpet. Since we have allergies in our family, those things are a concern for us. Everyone stated healthy and we'd stay there again. Location is perfect for taking off to explore the high country. It was a fun summer mini vacation for us.
