Summer vacation

We had a wonderful time. The host Renee was extremely kind and responsive/helpful. The house was close to the lake which made for fun days boating, fishing and swimming. It was our first time visiting pinecrest and we will definitely be back! Great deck area to enjoy family time. Kids loved the loft and house had everything we needed.

Wonderful Getaway

Nice, spacious cabin. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. The garage was perfect for storing our UTV and trailer. We were there during a heatwave, so the cool lower-level bedroom was wonderful.

New Year Cabin in the Forest

10 of us stayed here for two nights and had a great time! The property is a beautiful and cozy cabin located a quiet forest neighborhood on the side of a hill. Great place to gather and have fun with friends! No wifi makes it nice to be away from phones and off the grid too!
