Cabin holiday rentals in Ice House Reservoir

Creating memories with adult children who are living their own lives can be hard to schedule. We found the perfect opportunity for a quick weekend getaway hosted by Leif. What we thought we were getting was a house big enough to host our group. What we got, was so much more! As soon as you walk into the space, you realize that the pictures you saw on the posting do not do justice to the real thing. You’re transported into another era where life slows down and you realize the simplest of things are the really important things: like family. My children especially enjoyed the opportunity to meet Leif’s animals and feed them rinds and banana peels. Peanut was the star of the show ( if you know, you know). Thank you, Leif, for a beautiful weekend that provided a much needed respite, but offered so much more than we were expecting. We can’t wait to come back and make this a family tradition though next time we will stay longer and be more prepared with our animal food supplies : )

My girlfriends and I loved our stay at the Big Dipper! The cabin is beautiful, comfortable and conveniently located. There was plenty of space for the six of us. We particularly enjoyed hanging out on the stunning deck, in the hot tub and at nearby Speedboat Beach. Sally was a communicative and helpful host, and her local recommendations are spot on! We would happily to return and will not hesitate to recommend this property to our friends and family.

We enjoyed the stay at Tina's place. Her house is in a quite neighborhood and very close to the sugar pine point state park. Tina provided very detailed check-in instruction and the place is well-equipped (you can even use the bikes from the shed). We had an issue with the hot water from the shower and she quickly communicated back and arranged for the fix. I recommend to stay in this place.

The house was a perfect hub for our family members for the weekend of our wedding. The gold room downstairs was such a lovely space to get dressed and ready for our ceremony and we really enjoyed the swinging chairs and gorgeous view from the big deck. Such a peaceful place! And large enough to accommodate family for meals and breakfast while they were in town, which was particularly nice since we didn't have a reception, just a small private ceremony. The whole house was well stocked with everything we could need including all kitchenware, appliances, and even an iron and ironing board. Check in and check out was easy and everything was very well cleaned. I felt immediately comfortable when we arrived! This place has great vibes. We had an unforgettable weekend.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cabin! It's tucked away on a very private and peaceful piece of property, which made it the perfect escape. The owners clearly put a lot of care and thought into the experience—they went above and beyond to make everything welcoming and comfortable. The cabin was spotless, and it was such a joy and unique opportunity to relax and take in the natural surroundings, especially the gardens. We truly didn’t want to leave and tried to extend our stay, but it was already booked—no surprise, considering how special this place is. We can't wait to come back! The hummingbirds were a bonus!

If you’re looking for a peaceful nature retreat with friends and family—or a private, romantic escape to recharge with your partner—stop scrolling and book this place. You won’t find a better value, a more charming historic cabin, or a more thoughtful host near Truckee and Lake Tahoe. It was a one-of-a-kind stay we’re really glad we experienced.

Cabin was awesome. Cozy and comfortable. Modern upgrades and well stocked to enjoy an escape to natural, everything you need. Hot tub under the stars accentuated the experience. Walls of windows allowed full experience. Nestled in the redwoods. Highly recommend a stay.

I cannot speak highly enough of this property and the host. We were so sad to leave! I adore A- frames and this one had all the charm. The property had an amazing view of the Lake and the hot tub made the view even better. I would absolutely return! I also cannot speak highly enough of the host, she was so kind and gave detailed recommendations which we utilized and enjoyed!

The workshop was absolutely charming and exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, Gail's personalized welcome signs made my pup and I feel instantly at home. The craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the space were truly impressive, and the cozy ambience made it even better than the photos. Gail was incredibly attentive and communicative throughout our stay which is always greatly appreciated. Will be coming here again when we're in the area :). I highly recommend the workshop to anyone looking for a cozy retreat.

Excellent experience. Cozy, clean and relaxing. The space was as described and featured in photos. And the tap water tasted delicious!

Great location and lovely place. Easy access and great communication with Amy. This is a perfect place for 2 if you want to escape to Tahoe for a long weekend.

This wonderful little cabin was a great place to spend a getaway weekend with my son. The peaceful, wooded surroundings provided the relaxing backdrop I was looking for and my son was delighted with the wood burning stove. He discovered that the pine cones that were suggested as fire starters did a great job and he had a great time replenishing their supply from the woods around the cabin.

We had an awesome experience staying at Stefan’s cabin. It was a peaceful and relaxing retreat for the weekend. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a quiet time away from the city.

Lauren’s Airbnb was the perfect spot for our Yosemite trip. It’s about a 10 minute walk into town and there are amazing local restaurants. It is also an hour and half away from the Yosemite entrance. The place itself was very clean and cozy!

We all loved the house, the surroundings, and peaceful/quiet setting. It was comfortable, clean, well stocked, etc. Everything regarding our stay was A+! The pool table was a big hit too. Don & Cynthia are extremely helpful & went above & beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Our group had a wonderful time and we would love to come back. Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming little cabin! Everything was spotless - the cleanliness was truly impressive, and it made the whole experience feel so comfortable and relaxing. Nestled in the heart of the forest, the cabin is surrounded by peaceful nature, tall trees, and birdsong. It felt like a perfect escape from the hustle of everyday life. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the porch or going for a walk in the woods, the natural beauty all around is just breathtaking. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway - highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature!

Beautiful home in a neighborhood with close proximity to restaurants and gorgeous views. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and we would love to return again!

Twain Harte is a cute little town. We especially enjoyed the Mini Golf! Our host left us with great recommendations on places to eat and things to do. We mainly went to Yosemite, but I would spend more time in Twain Harte in the future. Cute A-frame cabin in a fantastic location!

Lisa and Evan are great hosts. What you see is exactly what you’ll get. Their home is comfortable and located close to stores and restaurants. Highly recommend staying there.

We had a great stay and our dog loved the fenced in backyard :-)

Fun little A-Frame central to everything. Short walk to a beautiful beach. The back yard is definitely the place to hang out

This was a wonderful stay for our girls bachelorette party. The pictures were accurate and the place was very clean. A great getaway! The cabin design and location were perfect!

Francis’s place is absolutely beautiful! Nestled among tall pine trees, it offers a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding. The patio was a standout feature—spacious enough for four people to hang out comfortably and enjoy the fresh air. Everything was super clean and well-maintained, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quiet and scenic getaway!

Great cabin to stay in for the weekend. We were attending a wedding in the area and it was very convenient and met our needs.
